Hey I found the problem, regarding booting without hard drive. In the init script on line 499: LESSPARTS0="`echo "$LESSPARTS0" | grep -v -f /tmp/ATADRIVES0`" #110205 It seems that Line 499 does not do its intended job, the reason being that the file /tmp/ATADRIVES0 always seems t...

Hi All, I set up a computer with Lucid 5.2.5, booting from a usb card. It all worked lovely until I took out the hard drive. ... If I plug the hard disk back in (ide 80Gb) the usb boot works, I find this a bit odd that I can't boot without a hard drive. Cheers, Jesse This is a known bug. Has not be...

Hi All, I set up a computer with Lucid 5.2.5, booting from a usb card. It all worked lovely until I took out the hard drive. The hard drive was not being used in any way, no swap partition or puppy files are on it. The PC has 1gb ram, and I am using a 256Mb Usb chip for booting. The boot screen at &...

Yeah, I think the issue is that the CD-ROM drive icon gets removed then re-added with a different icon visual, but without its location being remembered for the update... it is rather annoying. I'm using 4.1.1 and on this version, if there is no cd in the drive, there is no icon. So I just have all ...

I feel like giving up. This HDD just isn't designed to hold an operating system. I'm putting Puppy back on my LaCie Mobile Disk. It never failed me. Hi Zeppis, Yes I think you are right. Its really not designed to be a boot device. The reason that it gets switched off isn't quite intentional, but i...

I just tried typing "mut" from a terminal in Puppy 431 scsi. It did not disable Pmount. But something interesting showed up. sde is an external usb floppy drive with a 1.44meg floppy inserted. I got: # mut sda: 320GB disk sata 2 partitions sdb: 203GB disk ide 3 partitions sdc: empty disk ...

OK. How do I find this script? type into a terminal "which pmount" and the response will probably be /usr/sbin/pmount Ok. Done that. But before I got your reply, I disabled the floppy drive in BIOS, without disconnecting it from the power supply. After that, the 25 second delay in opening...

You can open it with a text editor like leafpad or geany.

I don't know anything about puppy_development@googlecode.com, your guess is as good as mine on that front.

Hi Otropogo, Another alternative may be to edit the Pmount script and change these two lines (about line 60): PROBEPART='mut --noserv probepart' #v407 PROBEDISK='mut --noserv probedisk2' #v407 to this: PROBEPART='mut probepart' #v407 (removed --noserv) PROBEDISK='mut probedisk2' #v407 (removed --nos...

Hi Otropogo, I've spotted the problem, Your floppy disk drive is not happy being probed by Mut: 257457640.641: BEGINEND: THB7DE18D0 scan device /dev/fd0 1257457640.641: DEBUG: THB7DE18D0 ensure_dev_node_exists on /dev/fd0 2 0 1257457653.721: VERBOSE: THB7DE18D0 s->fd=3 1257457679.832: VERBOSE: THB7D...

When I boot up the computer and press F11 to choose a device to boot from, the hard drive isn't there because it's still waking up. Hi, As a temporary work around, use the 'pause' button on the keyboard. This works to pause the BIOS pre-boot sequence, when you have just rebooted or powered on the c...

Hi Otropogo, I'm the author of MUT, there was some odd bug in MUT that made it do that lockup thing that you mentioned, but I can't quite recall the details. If you're curious to get to the bottom of the issue... run this command from a console (rxvt): #mut mutclient --debug --noserv --nothreads > m...

Have a look at the sound mixer program, set microphone and input gain to full volume. Could be labled as "Mic" and "IGain". Almost all desktop computer microphones need input gain control set to full. If you can't find it specifically, try turning up every volume control that isn...

Its probably the floppy drive. That'll be something I'll have to look into. Yes it is on a constant scan, it ought to update with any changes like inserted usb drives etc... There is no penalty to rescan all the drives if you reopen the mut gui application, close it when you're not using it, that sh...

Hi, the menu with the options is on the right click for the selected icon.

Ok... Heres a .pet file that should have a much better chance of running. Its got the latest builds of mut, mut_gui. Installs an icon in the filesystem menu - "MUT Media Utility Tool v2". The install and uninstall (via package manager) seems to be working on my Puppy Linux 4.11, so I think...

Hi Jesse the first one didn't work when I tried it before also I'm using 2.14.1X that comes with mut 1.1 and that works fine, I did ldd to see if anything was missing and nothing was missing Oh right! You mean Puppy Linux 2.14... now I'm with you. And that explains why its not working. The mut_gui ...

Hi Jesse It didn't work for me, The error is below I tried these directories /usr/share/mut/icon/ /usr/local/mut/icon/ /usr/mut/icon/ Maybe you could package it already in a working directory like pets come in? thanks for your continued efforts ttuuxxx Hi ttuuxx, The error message is saying that it...
