I like the background a lot, If you can upload it to imageshack or send it via PM, I'll use it in the next release :) Anything you would like to in the next release you leave a message in the Fire Hydrant Forum located at http://ttuuxxx.com/chitchat/index.php?topic=5.0
also thanks for the compliments :)

PS if I ever figure out how to get HotPup to work properly meaning every time I try to install it, all the icons alway end-up on the top left corner of the screen.

Shut down issues

#102 Post by puppyluvr »

:D Hello Ttuuxxx :D
Ran Inferno for 3-4 hours..Worked great..Changed very little, hotpup and background..
When I tried shut-down ..Blank screen...no CLI..nothing except the CD drive winding up
to warp speed, (it did not burn a save, I checked) Had to cold kill to get out..
When I reboot Inferno, I will try various shutdown methods and post what works(or not).

I've just installed Featherweight and it's working well apart from a lockup when I overloaded it. It seems to be a good bridge between Puppy 2 and Puppy 4, with some good themes and visual effects as part of the package.

Thanks and well done for a fine effort.

Glad you like it, There will be more 'Fire Hydrants' In the near future, just after 4.2, I have a couple of 'living water' builds to do. Then comes the next 'Fire Hydrant' Series :)

Thanks. Sadly, it locked up again and for no obvious reason so at the moment I'm back using puppyluvr's Icecat 3.01, though using the savefile I had from Featherweight. I'm not saying it was the fault of Featherweight but so far (3 hours' later) this combo hasn't crashed or locked up, so I'm sticking with it for the time being.

I've had lockups in several other distros I've used. It's always the same thing; the caps lock and scroll lock lights start flashing in unison and nothing works at all so I have to switch the computer off and start again.

The one it hasn't happened with yet is Lighthouse, for some reason (and even tazoc admits he doesn't know why). I'm going to try some others soon to see how they work out in this regard.

I would have tried to find the answer in this thread but I see the latest reply is over a year old, others much older, so I'll just ask.

I just took your puppy for a walk, (fire hydrant 3.01) found on the pulets page, thinking it is the latest offering.

It is great, really quick and has lot's of useful things, unbelievable for it's size. The only trouble is I would really like to recommend this to others based on the feature list and performance, but I have quite a big problem with the icons and wallpaper on starting it.

Half of the icons are just "cogs" and you can't tell what they do if you don't recognise the name, and also the wallpaper seems eratic, sometimes blank, sometimes dark, and sometimes clouds.

Maybe it's me not doing something, but I can't figure it out. Could anyone tell me if this is a known problem, whether I could get a different version that doesn't do this, or whether it's just plain old user error.

thanks in advance

wow that sounds strange, I never had that issue with it, if you give me say 2 days, I'll have another look at that release, I'm almost finished helping out 4.2 and it might be released this weekend. So after that my time is free once again.

Thanks for the reply ttuuxxx, however I think it was user error - something to do with files/folders from another install of 4.1.2 on my drive, which I have got rid of and the problem seems to be cured too.

It's looking good now, but has rather too many icons and menu items for my needs, I will try to find out how I can lose some of those in the fullness of time.

The only problem I have now is Gparted doesn't deem to work - it just gets stuck scanning for ages, it finds drives eventually after several minutes though

I wonder what's causing that, because it's the best tool I have found for the job, but I can't always wait for it when it seems like it's not working

Ya gparted was like that, what you could do is update Gslapt, then search for gparted, and update it. It might just do the trick. :)

Hi. I've added some more swap (now up to 796 MB) and tried Featherweight again yesterday, and so far it's been fine, no lockups at all. Just thought you'd want to know.

Thanks for all the hard work etc.

Regards,

CP .

(BTW, using Firepup too).

Hi I have them all located at http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/ I still have to move them to the right directory, that's why I didn't post the link.
Thanks

Just did a frugal install on a ext3 formated drive, boots fine but upon reboot it doesn't load the savefile(savefile is in folder named 300). Here is my menu.lst entry

title 300
kernel (hd0,0)/300/vmlinuz PMEDIA=idehd PDEV1=hda1 psubdir=300 pnpbios=off
initrd (hd0,0)/300/initrd.gz
boot
Dell D610 1.7M w/1024mb

I just tried it, and noted that Smokey01 doesn't like download managers -- open the link and use a standard "save" to save the file (don't right click to save).
