EDIT: It'll fail if the swap file is in a vfat partion.
Bug: Can't load or unload swap files in vfat partitions.
Severity: High
Description: This puplet (ver 1.1) is unable to load swap files with the 'swapon' command, no matter its size if they are located in a vfat partition.
There's no problem if you want to use a swap partition or a swap file inside an EXT partition.

Hm, NYP uses the same kernel, and almost the same initrd.gz, and the mesa related xorg-files.
I had no time yet, to copy over other files.
So the error must be in the remaining things you modified.
Maybe you altered settings for HAL?
Thanks so much for your work, it helped me a lot to update NYP to newer libs
try:
dmesg
to see driver related errors.
Must sleep now, else I would investigate this on my own now.
I can try to look at it tomorrow during my course

By the way, I reported the swapfile problem on the thread for your first pup.

I currently run Ultrapup 1.1 in Virtualbox in Windows XP.
It is booted from an iso-image, that was assigned as CD drive.
The harddisk image was partitioned with gparted:
sda1: ext3
sda2: swap
At startup (from the "CD"), the swap is recognized and used.
I can switch it off/on with:
swapoff /dev/sda2
swapon /dev/sda2
This becomes visible in conky 2 seconds later.
Just pmount does not list it.
I would be curious, if your swap is located on a USB-drive?
Maybe the required module like ehci_hcd was not loaded in initrd.gz or rc.sysinit?

I don't know how far this concerns Ultrapup.
In NYP I use in .xinitrc:
setxkbmap -layout `cat /etc/keymap | cut -f1 -d.`
Not:
XkbApplyNow
This does not work with british keyboards, as etc/keymap contains "uk.map".
But in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ you just have "gb".
Solution: create a symlink:
cd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols
ln -s gb uk

More info about the "swap file" bug.
@Mark: it also happens in newyearspup-MU-02-rc7 (kernel 2.6.28.5)
@techtype: I can't find your bug report, can you post a link to it?
It only happen when you try to load a "swap file" (not a linux swap partition) stored in a FAT partition. There is no problem with swap partitions and swap files in Ext partitions.
Examples:
1. The 'swapon' command get stuck trying to load the swap file
2. It even works if the swap file is inside an Ext2 file which is in a FAT partition.

Bug: .conkyrc file is reset every time you start lxde.
Severity: Low
Description: /usr/bin/startlxde will create a fresh copy from /etc/conky/conky.conf to /root/.conkyrc every time you start X.
To solve it, open '/usr/bin/startlxde' with a text editor and replace:
Code: | # Ensure the existance of conky config file
cp /etc/conky/conky.conf "$HOME/.conkyrc"
|
with:
Code: | # Ensure the existance of conky config file
if [ ! -f "$HOME/.conkyrc" ]; then
cp /etc/conky/conky.conf "$HOME/.conkyrc"
fi |

Bug: Keyboard layouts are not readed from the xorg.conf file.
Severity: Low
Description: I forgot to change a line in '/root/.xinitrc', to run the XkbApplyNow (XkbConfigManager) command every time X is started to read and apply keyboard settings from the xorg.conf file. Without this change you wont be able to use the "Keyboard layout switcher"(LXPanel plugin) properly.
Code: | #wow: (custom 4.11 puplet)fix keyboard layout (Xorg 7.4)
setxkbmap -layout `cat /etc/keymap | cut -f1 -d.` |
with:
Code: | #wow: (custom 4.11 puplet)fix keyboard layout (Xorg 7.4)
XkbApplyNow |

Oh, I see -- my report was that I could not load a swap partition. I did not realize you were focusing on a swapfile.

intel xvesa works; xorg goes black |
|
xvesa works out of the box with my laptop's intel 4500 chipset. I've tried at least 10 other 4.x puppies, and they all go into an infinite loop hunting for a valid mode.
xorg displays the "If you can see this, X is working." but goes black on exit. I think this is fixed in 2.6.2.

oh my . . . Subject description: Can this puplet be compared with Vista? just eye candy and many bugs |

Seems that I'll need to make a service pack or something like that. Perhaps another ISO.
@MU: thanks, I will fix it soon.
@techtype: Have you tried to reformat that swap patition? (gparted, or mkswap /dev/<device node>)
@sue: It worked in Puppy-3? try to replace your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with a working copy. They run these commands to switch to Xorg:
Code: | cp /usr/X11R7/bin/
rm X
cp -s Xorg X
xwin |
