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)

Well, the error must be further down, at the next Xdialog which is at line 109. Something must be wrong with your 'SCHOICES' variable.
So, on line 107 insert:
echo "SCHOICES=$SCHOICES"
...then let me know what it is.
Note, I just tested, it's fine for me.

I too may be guilty of this failing. Embarassed I have reported problems installing EZpup-3.0 in the Puppy 3.00 bug reports thread. Sorry.

So; if you would like to know more; please take a peep at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22255&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. Very Happy

Bad news (sorry about that) : dhcp always not working with my bcm43 wifi chipset. Sad
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 ?

It worked OK for me, I added Ezpup, devx and mtpaint and remastered an ISO.

The weird thing is the inode errors are gone in the remaster! Not really sure what is happening. Need a few more testers

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
EndSection

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?

PostPosted: Sat 13 Oct 2007, 15:53    Post subject: Universal Installer lists installed Puppys incorrectly
Subject description: Puppyinstaller shows same version in all partitions when no Puppy in the later partitions.		  
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:
Code:
# 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

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).
Code:
   ispupfunc $FSTYPE ${DRVSEL}${PARTNUM} #returns PUPVEROLD
   [ ! $? -eq 0 ] && PUPINST=", Puppy version $PUPVEROLD installed" || PUPINST=""

The "else" part is the appended
Code:
 || PUPINST=""

With this fix, running from console looks like this:
Code:
# 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
hda6: ntfs, size 22.94 GiB
which is correct.

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)" \

That is not needed when the initrd.gz is a cpio archive.

Odd, if the above is posted as-is, you have a enter character after the
"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?
