Puppy 3.00 bug reports here |
|
1. It is impossible to boot Puppy 3.00 using frugal install with psubdir parameter. The boot process stops after this message is shown on the screen:
Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives
After long search the boot process stops with this message:
/bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off
The only way to make frugal install to work for me is to move pup_300.sfs, zdrv_222.sfs and pup_save.2fs file to the root directory of the same partition where /Bp300 subdirectory with vmlinuz and initrd.gz file reside.
This is Puppy-3.00 boot section from my menu.lst:
# Boot Puppy Linux
title Puppy-3.00, idehd, /Bp300
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
kernel /Bp300/vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd
initrd /Bp300/initrd.gz
boot
2. When trying to start my ADSL internet connection with Roaring Penguin after some time this message is shown on the screen:
Error starting connection: TIMED OUT
The Network Wizard properly detects 1 alive 'eth0' network interface but can't properly configure 'eth0'.
I also installed and tried dhcpcd-2.0.4. The Network Wizard
shows that network configuration of 'eth0' is successful but my ADSL internet connection using Roaring Penguin still can't be established.
I haven't this problem with any version prior to Puppy 3.xx.

leon, this line needs the psubdir parameter:
kernel /Bp300/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=Bp300
...although Puppy should have found the files without that.

i have been unable to bypass xorg autoprobing
ì've been using 2.14, but the only way to make it work was to choose xorg, ctrl-c to stop the autoprobe, then xorgconfig and fill it with my card details (xvesa never worked)
with 3.0 seems that is not possible anymore, while i am able to run xorgconfig and correctly store details of my card, when i send startx i go back to the xorg-xvesa selection window
is there a way to force the manual xorgconfig so allowing me to get X?
thanks

Puppy 3.00 bug Subject description: no connection with rp-pppoe |
|
I confirm the bug on pppoe as reported by Leon, eccentric and panzerpuppy.
Roaring Penguin does not work for my DSL-Modem. An internet connection is not possible. This occurs on a fresh CD and on an upgraded one.
The bug was not present on 2.17.1, it was on 2.21 and now on 3.00.
Hope you will figure this out, otherwise an upgrade to 3.00 is not feasible.
Further: When upgrading my USB-install to 3.00 I cannot run a custom theme in JWM, which works fine in 2.17.1.

I know that it shold be:
kernel /Bp300/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=Bp300
but as I wrote the 'psubdir' parameter became unusable for me. I had to omit it to make Puppy work.
With this settings:
# Boot Puppy Linux
title Puppy-3.00, idehd, /Bp300
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
kernel /Bp300/vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd psubdir=Bp300
initrd /Bp300/initrd.gz
boot
the boot process stops after long search with this message shown on the screen:
Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives
/bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off

gxine 0.5.11 when trying to do File Open causes x to crash.
Drag a file to it and it works, but will some times give an error message at the end of the file. This last time it froze up while trying to verify error message and will not restart.
Did not have problems in older 2.xx Puppy.
Will try a cold reboot when I get back from the post office and paying bills and see what happens.

Small Bugs |

Hi
Just a couple of things causing me problems.
1. Gxine. I listen to internet radio and if I use links on web pages and get presented with the dialog box to use the default madia player it will open Gxine but it will freeze before it has buffered anything. If I copy the link and paste it into Gxine it plays fine. This is with WMA files.
2. I use a wireless USB dongle with the Zydas chipset. WMA was fine in 2.17.1 but it is not possible in 3.00. The dialog states it is not possible to use WPA with the 1211rw module. It worked perfectly in 2.17.1.
Thanks

Seamonkey loading times |
|
Not sure if a bug but 3.00 final with 128mb or ram loads seamonkey in 55 seconds on PIII 650Mhz.
However with and extra 64mb ram bringing it to 192mb RAM it loads in just 10 seconds!
Any thoughts?
Thanks
