Hi MU I am trying to install the java 1.6.21 jdk as the nucleus of a java development system. I am using puppy 5.0.1. I've downloaded the .bin file and moved it to /usr/local/java. When I try to run the installer I get an out of disk space error. # ./jdk-6u21-linux-i586.bin --tempdir /mnt/sda1/tempb...

The link is working for me right now too. Must have been a hiccup. just tried multi user puppy,and it does not want to shut down,it just restarts x,even trying from the terminal. Okay. I'll need some more information though: How are you trying to reboot? As root or as a user? If a user, is it a mem...

On tmmxine shard (puppy 3.01 base with xfce) I can recompile vim, gvim, slang, jed and xjed. The c compiler is devx_301.sfs. On pcPuppyOS (puppy 3.01 base with icewm) the results are strange. Vim compiles but the makefile doesn't find gvim. Slang won't compile due to missing X server dependencies. J...

Pizzasgood-- Here is what I think I did. I will try and remember and also try to reproduce. It may be that what I was trying to do is just wrong <ctrl><alt><backspace> startx jwm No error, changes /etc/currentwm startx crashes x as jwm is CURRENTWM but it isn't there startx icewm crashes x It's supp...

So are you saying you powered down then booted with pfix=ram to check the file? Instead, you could have used mp which is a very handy CLI text editor that uses "normal" keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+s, ctrl+q). Nope, I just worked from the command line using e3vi. I have to work on a lot of Un...

I'm not sure I was supposed to even try this but what I did got me into trouble so in the interest of sparing others I'll describe the problem. 1. I tried to change to JWM in pcPuppyOS RC3. 2. Once I exited to the prompt, the X-server would no longer start. 3. I tried setting back to icewm (xwin ice...

Pizzasgood-- No, you didn't send anything. :? I was thinking that you had posted a link along with MU but that's not so. Since I do have a bootable USB drive which is known to bring up both standard puppy 3.01 and pcpuppyos (3.01 version) I will be happy to test usb booting for you. The download of ...

The checksum doesn't look good, although it's the one from the iso I downloaded. F:\pcpuppyos>md5sum *.gz 8124865d22380d845f9747650a0f7102 *initrd.gz While we're at it let's check the iso F:\pcpuppyos>md5sum *.iso 648a1229817dd737e5d2950cc9e4db2e *puppy-3.01-Firefox.iso The checksum listed on the do...

Hey Pizza Guy--- I am trying to get pcpuppyos to boot from a usb key on a system with 256 MB RAM. I set pfix=noram in my syslinux.cfg append line. The directive seems to have no effect. The init routine always tries to copy pup_301.sfs to ram, then dies with a kernel panic, 'out of memory and no kil...

Firefox 2.11 crashes all the time at random. I am using version 2.11. It was crashing without Flash. I downloaded and Flash9.pup and Flashfix.pup. No joy. I seem to remember a GTK library update needed for later firefoxes along with all of the mucking about with flash. I have Firefox 2.11 running ju...

I downloaded the latest Pup 2.14 iso and did a frugal install (by hand) then booted with linld using pfix=debug. To my chagrin puppy came up flawlessy. I did notice that the messages around "loading kernel modules" have changed. It looks like the USB module load has been split out among ot...

The CPU is an AMD K6 3D with 384 MB RAM
Lots of IDE disk drives, lots of partitions.
I will try using pfix=debug

(I had trouble getting this to post. If it comes up twice I will try to delete the extra copy.) I have two machines which won't boot any version earlier than 2.17. Actually that isn't quite true. They hang most of the time but if I turn them off and wait awhile sometimes they will boot up. They hang...

I scanned the last page of this thread and it looks like most of the contributions have to do with getting puppy to boot once the USB drive has been mapped. I was having the opposite problem. On many of my machines the freedos boot would always hang when loading the aspidisk driver. I found an older...

I have been running puppy 2.17 with the network wizard and dhcp upgrades. I did the upgrades trying to get around the following problem: I use a belkin usb wireless device to connect to the internet. If I leave it plugged in to my USB hub (or maybe if I leave it plugged in period) during bootup, the...

I rebooted a couple of times after the pfix=purge boot and the ncurses problem went away. I should have rebooted before posting in the first place; apologies to those I dithered by asking the question prematurely. Anyhow, I built vim and jed and they run OK. I'm not sure how, because I got a segment...

I tried dougal''s trick with the dreaded .wh* file. Deleted the file he mentioned made stdio.h visible but configure sitll failed in the same way. I desparied of finding all of the masking files so I did the pfix=purge reboot. It was actually pretty painless. I lots some new icons from the desktop b...

I downloaded devx_217.sfs, placed it in /mnt/home, used the boot manager to load it. All seemed to have gone well. The checksums match so I know I have a good download. I see gcc, I can get the version, I can even compiile hello world. However, when I try to compile large projects that require ./con...

I don't know if this will revive a dead thread. The last post was in Oct 2006 and its Jan 1 2007 today. I DO NOT think this a sterile discussion and that's why I'm chiming in at this late date. On my day job I work a lot with Commerical Linux Workstations: SUSE, Fedora, Gentoo. One problem sysadmins...

Thanks for trying to help. I changed the menu.lst lines to match yours but it had no effect. It seems to be a RAM problem. If I boot from the live CD, sometimes it works but sometimes it hangs (at "loading kernel modules"). Sometimes I get a segmentation fault just before the "loading...
