No I let it reboot when creating a pup_save.2fs the first time, because if I do a shutdown from pfix=ram then sometimes the /etc/rc.shutdown script misbehaves or drops to command line.toomuchcomputertime wrote:Thanks, so you reboot, then poweroff before it comes back on?
I still can't figure out why reboot works normally and sometimes shutdown is flaky, but here is a patch to several files that worked three shutdowns in a row for me. I tested it with MiPup2.6-412, booted with pfix=ram, installed the patch, restarted X Windows and then shutdown normally, saving my session to a pup_save, powered up all the way back to the desktop and shutdown twice more, no hiccups.
The patch changes code in /usr/bin/starticewm:
Code: Select all
. /root/.icewm/startup
exec icewm
I can't guarantee that the problem won't recur, but it seems to help. If not you can uninstall the patch with PetGet.
