I just posted this http://pastebin.ca/1682424 for someone in irc. Thats the pupflux menu. I know what you wanna do but I prefer to edit by hand anyway. To me its easier and it actually helped me learn more.
Thankyou, and yes I do too but my editing was not familiar with this. I'll read through for comprehension, comparison, and make a backup of original file. Thankyou Very Happy

I might have missed it but my PupFlux won't shut down the normal way. It just sits there with a black screen. Could be my laptop but i don't know. My Puppy 4.2.1 works without a single hitch.

If I go to "restart" in the flux menu I can type "poweroff" and it shuts down. What can I do to fix it?

I am finding that 4.3.1 is having issues with some of my 'puters in that regard. I've found that typing from terminal "wmpoweroff" frequently will shut it down. In other words, I think it is the Puppy version that the more recent Pupflux is based on relative to the hard ware...

I'm open to suggestions from the masses on that one...

I tried to make my own PupFLux 4.31 right after it came out and I had the same problem so I gave up. I thought it was just me having the problem.

Nope, not just you, and not just Pupflux. For example, I got a P4 laptop from someone recently, ran the latest MacPup on it (based on 4.3.1) and it has the same issue: it will shut everything down, but not turn the computer totally off. Confused

Mine doesn't say "system halted". It just is black. Will it do any harm to press the power switch in that case?

And yes, my MacPup Foxy does something similar so it must be Puppy 4.3 at the root of the problem.

The illustrious CatDude just sent me this pm about mirrors for Pupflux and Pupfluxlite:

Hello steve

I hope you don't mind, but i took the liberty creating a directory steve_s in the members section at asia,
and put a copy of pupflux421.iso into it.

The directory shows at both
http://puppylinux.asia/members/steve_s/
http://puppylinux.ca/members/steve_s/

I am sure that you already know the Username & Password.

...

P.S
I have also moved the location of your pupfluxlite.iso
so you may wish to edit this post
to point at the new location:
http://puppylinux.asia/members/steve_s/PupFluxlite/pupfluxlite.iso
http://puppylinux.ca/members/steve_s/PupFluxlite/pupfluxlite.iso
.

Thanks, CatDude! Cool I'll edit that post later but wanted to get this posted asap... Cool

Have either of you tried adding the kernel boot parameter "acpi=force" to either isolinux.cfg, syslinux.cfg or the grub menu.lst kernel line, as appropriate for your method of booting? You can probably test this by pressing F2 at boot to get a chance to enter "puppy acpi=force" when booting from the CD. If it works, you can use isomaster to edit the appropriate file and create a new iso image you can burn.

I have tried all combinations acpi=force/on/off (simply because I
have no idea what these are about Rolling Eyes ) and none made any
difference. I happen to be using using Dpup477 on a PIII.
Everything seems to shut down except the PSU and leds. Crying or Very sad
