grub4dos menu doesn't stay long enough to choose - SOLVED
Hi, I was running a multi-boot system (using grub4dos) with orecise, lubuntu and window Xp pro and some other puppies. Windows had a problem, and the upshot was that it re-installed itself and took over the mbr. I ran precise (from disk) and re-installed grub4dos. The menu.lst was still there so I t...

Glad you found the answer. For me, the easiest way to step through was to use the line
at the start of the script. I could then go off and make a cup of coffee while it stepped through (allowing 5 secs per line) until it reached the offending line.
Code: Select all
trap "set+x; sleep 5; set -x" debug

Thanks for the reply. Stepping through rc.shutdown, I found that the hangup was on ifplugd.sh (the Ethernet daemon) in /etc//init.d. I effectively killed it - there is no Ethernet cable, so the daemon is not required. I am most grateful for your help and info. rc.shutdown seems to be working through...

LxPupSc17.07.01 won't shutdown cleanly - Solved
When I try to poweroff or reboot, the WM shuts down and I get a message that LxPupSc17.07.01 is shutting down. However, it doesn't poweroff or reboot but returns to the # prompt with a cursor. Putting in poweroff or reboot only starts up the same cycle - "LxPupSc17.07.01 is shutting down" ...

Welcome to the forum. If CUPS is installed (apparently, it depends on the version of puppy you are using) you will find that the HP Laserjet 3050 does have a driver available in CUPS 1.4. mostly_lurking 's link is quite comprehensive in its instructions about installing a printer, so you'll have to ...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, they are not ROX desktop icons. The icon comes from a drag-and-drop in LxXenial16.08 and right-clicking produces a different set of options. In fact the code I was trying to compile was !#/bin/sh lxterminal -e foo.sh I was hoping that as the desktop icon would re...

Running Bash script in terminal automatically- Solved
I have a bash script which needs to run in a terminal. If i try running it from a desktop icon, I get the window saying "this looks like a shell script" and it gives some buttons for choices, which include one for running it in a terminal window. I want to bypass this interactive window an...

@ rcrsn51 As I've said on numerous occasions, I am most grateful for your help and expertise.. Even though, I am not, at present, using any puppy for real, it may well be that I will do so in the near future, as I have done in the past.. I spent the best part of a week before I came to ask for advic...

@ rcrsn51 I'm not actually using puppies for real. This test rig is an old one that runs WinXP. Lubuntu16.08, LxPupXenial16.08 and a number of older puppies incl Shiba, Carolina, Precisemate, Lucid 5.2.8 and others - but it is only a test rig, and my interest is purely academic. I would add that it ...

Whenever a driver is not available for a kernel, we get suggestions to try another puppy version. I just got LxPUPSc17.06 connected. but it had a major problem with the File Manager, which could not access the other parftitions. There were lines of text outside the WM about a dereferenced null point...

Thanks for the reply. The rig I'm using is an Asrock K7VT6 mobo, Athlon XP 3000+pae, Radeon X800 GT AGP, 2GB RAM and 500GB HDD. Since VLC plays fine in Lubuntu16.08 and Windows XP on this rig, I had more or less ruled out a hardware problem. In addition, rendering is fine in the browser and other gr...
