Puppy 3.01 Beta
Tried installing Ezpup3 and got errors about 'inode'?
Not sure if Ezpup needs upgrading to 3.01 or something else? I am running from Puppy 3.01 Beta + Ezpup - so not too serious . . .
an mtpaint 3.11 pet is available if required (3.10 in Beta)

Re: 3.01 Beta bugs
Well, the error must be further down, at the next Xdialog which is at line 109. Something must be wrong with your 'SCHOICES' variable.gray wrote:Remaster CD does not work for me. I get an Xdialog error :

So, on line 107 insert:
echo "SCHOICES=$SCHOICES"
...then let me know what it is.
Note, I just tested, it's fine for me.

Re: Puppy 3.01 Beta
I too may be guilty of this failing. I have reported problems installing EZpup-3.0 in the Puppy 3.00 bug reports thread. Sorry.WhoDo wrote: Why is the father always the last to know? What errors? When? How?
So; if you would like to know more; please take a peep at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=105
I assumed it was a Puppy 3 file system problem rather than an EZpup one - which it may well be.

Hi, there !
Good news : the version of flash in 3.01beta makes my local swf games fluid again.
Bad news (sorry about that) : dhcp always not working with my bcm43 wifi chipset.
I tried several thing I read in the forum without success.
I can see with blinky that requests are sent to the network (considering that when the icon blinks, it corresponds to a sent request, right ?) but there is no answer.
Is there any manipulation I could do (instead of using the network wizard) in order to give you logs, reports and help you find the bug ?

The most important thing when using Puppy 3.01 is that network and sound adapters are properly autodetect from the first boot.
These symptoms remain the same as in Puppy 3.00:
1.) Booting with frugal install using 'psubdir' parameter still doesn't work.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22455
Puppy can't find pup_301.sfs file.
These are the settings from my menu.lst:
# Boot Puppy Linux
title Puppy-3.01beta, idehd, /p301b, psubdir=p301b
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
kernel /p301b/vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd psubdir=p301b
initrd /p301b/initrd.gz
boot
2.) Roaring Penguin PPPOE doesn't work.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22341
3.) Chooselocale keeps loading locale installation file from Internet in an endless loop. I had to kill the process. Then I was able to choose sl-SI locale and now it is set properly.
4.) At X start 'ModeLine' settings from xorg.conf written by Xvidtune are ingnored. That was not the case with Puppy 2.17.1.
These are the settings from my xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 310 230 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "SNY"
ModelName "SDM-M51"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertRefresh values to use DDC:
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 28.0-61.0
VertRefresh 48.0-65.0
UseModes "Modes0" #monitor0usemodes
EndSection
Section "Modes"
Identifier "Modes0"
ModeLine "1024x768" 65.00 1024 1056 1192 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync #modes0modeline0

I'm running 3.01 frugal install w/ new 512MB save file and it does a filesystem check on every boot. Each time it finds (what looks to be the same) errors and corrects them. The strange thing is that it happens even if i just shut down immediately after booting puppy. Are the results of fsck saved/logged anywhere?
Universal Installer lists installed Puppys incorrectly
Although this is an old problem, it is easily remedied. I have a hard drive partitioned with a frugal install in hda1 and no Puppys in the other poartitions, hda5 and hda6. But the version (300) listed for hda1 is repeated for the others:
The fix is to add an "else" part to the statement that sets up the text for the version (line 311, with wrap on in Geany).
The "else" part is the appended
With this fix, running from console looks like this:which is correct.
Code: Select all
# puppyinstaller
hda "IBM-DTLA-307045, size 42.95 GiB"
hda
ls: cannot access /mnt/hda5/pup_[0-9][0-9][0-9].sfs: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /mnt/hda6/pup_[0-9][0-9][0-9].sfs: No such file or directory
hda1: ext2, size 10.00 GiB, Puppy version 300 installed
hda5: ntfs, size 10.00 GiB, Puppy version 300 installed
hda6: ntfs, size 22.94 GiB, Puppy version 300 installed
Code: Select all
ispupfunc $FSTYPE ${DRVSEL}${PARTNUM} #returns PUPVEROLD
[ ! $? -eq 0 ] && PUPINST=", Puppy version $PUPVEROLD installed" || PUPINST=""
Code: Select all
|| PUPINST=""
Code: Select all
# puppyinstaller

Re: Remaster
Odd, if the above is posted as-is, you have a enter character after thegray wrote:BarryK,
The output of the CHOICES variable is ;-
SCHOICES= "Filesystem: Size: M Free: 0
232M (currently mounted)" \
ramdisk "Filesystem: tmpfs Size: 506M Free: 503M (currently mounted)" \
"Free: 0", which should not be. You didn't type that in did you, that is an actual copy-paste? It's weird, as that first entry is all wrong.
What is it that is currently mounted? Can you post the output of 'probepart' so I can see what it supposed to be detected?
Remaster problem
BarryK,
The output is "copy paste" no edit by me.
The output of probepart :
sh-3.01# probepart
/dev/hda1|ntfs|117210176
/dev/hdc|iso9660|0
/dev/hdd|iso9660|0
I am running from the liveCD if that gives you a clue.

Ha, ha, you posted just when I did! The script was excluding ntfs partitions, but I think now they can be allowed for temp storage while building the remaster, so another change:

Well, that would seem to be a problem with Xorg 7.2. Pup 2.17 uses Xorg 7.0. If handling of modelines has changed, then I suppose it is documented somewhere. Or perhaps Xorg has got too clever for it's own good and decides the modeline is not correct/valid then ignores it -- just a guess.Leon wrote:4.)
