Lucid Puppy 5.1- A Full-Featured Compact Distro
I tried 507. Its frugal installation worked fine with a pupsave file. I tried to use the option of save to partition (partition is ext2). On reboot, it failed to boot. It could not find things. I know frugal with save to entire ext2 partition should work. I do not have an idea of why it failed.

Direct desktop with remastered puppy(lupu)
Playdayz, you work so hard! Have you enough time to sleep?
The second case occurs because xorg.conf is missing so xwin executes xorwizard, which is not of the first stage anymore but the woof one.
Only one case the remastered CD boot up directly to the desktop is:
Remaster lupu with customize option and boot up the same PC.
Similar situation occurs on USB installed lupu. Once you create lupusave on the USB, the direct desktop is not PC-free anymore. See my previous post.
These situation can be said 'specified behaviour'.
Well then, if we take my previous proposal on the direct desktop, what happens?
but i think it is better then the current situation. This is the only way you can make your custom CD goes directly desktop anywhere.
One pit: Once you go through xorgwizard or 'Complete Configuration Experience', the direct desktop of the remasterd CD is not PC-free anymore.
It occurs in 2 cases.playdayz wrote: I made a remaster and the CD booted fine but instead of booting to the desktop it stopped at xorgwizard--not the keyboard layout but the actual xorgwizard--so it was probably xwin that sent it there for some reason.
- Remaster lupu with customize (/etc...) option and move the remastered CD to another PC.
- Remaster lupu without customize option and boot anywhere same PC or another PC.

Well then, if we take my previous proposal on the direct desktop, what happens?
- Remaster lupu with customise option... direct desktop on anywhere.
- Remaster lupu without customise opton... no direct desktop on anywhere.
- USB installed lupu with lupusave... still direct desktop anywhere
but i think it is better then the current situation. This is the only way you can make your custom CD goes directly desktop anywhere.

frugal install and grub
It is normal.Stripe wrote:Can confirm grub loader is working on 507 frugal install, to a clean hard drive and partition (had to edit the menu but dont know if this is normal)
grubconfig basically does not support FRUGAL installation.
See my previous post.
You can try Frugalinstaller with grub4dosconfig. It must be a cool experience.
I have never seen it work myself. Have you? What you describe is what I have always seen. We should just remove it--that was what Barry was doing in Woof July 20 I think but something went wrong it seems.On reboot, it failed to boot. It could not find things. I know frugal with save to entire ext2 partition should work.
I was just reading the messages on the rc.shutdown from Woof July 20 and it says it only works if you install the Puppy files at / *not* in a folder. As I recall I probably always had them in a directory.

stripe, here is what I do
Puppy Universal Installer
Frugal install
at end keep the text that shows what to include in menu.lst
Start Grub Bootloader Config
Simple
Standard
/dev/sda1 (or wherever you want them)
MBR
then, open sda1 (wherever you put grub files)
/boot/grub/menu.lst
insert the text for frugal install with grub and save
reboot

using 507 Beta 2 and any time I open console receive following entries which I have never seen before
id: cannot find name for group ID 0
id: cannot find name for group ID 0

this is first time I have seen these entries and have been using all of the LUCI iso's plus the 500 series
any idea what is causing this?

My Problem SOLVED
Deleted first full installation of lupu-507 Beta 2 and
did another full install. Problem no longer exists

The Inspiron 4000 has needed acpi=force on previous Lupu.playdayz wrote:I saw this once today also, but I cannot remember in what circumstance.Inspiron 4000 hangs at "puppy is now shutting down";
Wasn't quite enough this time.
Then I removed the usb cardbus that I was using for mouse and
wireless dongle and replaced with ps2 mouse and pcmcia wifi
card.
Bootup and reboot-poweroff working now.
I need to find the usb caused hang ups.
Using a usb 2.0 hub instead of my old "Macally" usb cardbus
adapter solved the problem with usb.
Working great....and it no longer needs acpi=force on the
kernel line!

Hi all
found a conflict between Pwidgets-2.2.7.pet and Conky-1.8.0-lucid
Downloaded and installed Pwidgets as normal and set them on desktop
Downloaded and installed Conky opened it and closed it
switched desktops and all Pwidgets apart from the analoge clock appeared in seperate Xwindows titled "Conky (puppy pc)"
Had to unistall both Pwidgets and Conky then reinstall Pwidgets to get them working again
Hope this helps

Edited to say: just checked in 506 and it happens there as well

Yeah Stripe, Pwidgets has a cutdown conky included, it is mentioned on the Pwidgets page. You can still use it as plain conky with a config, it's just not the latest.Stripe wrote:Hi all

NB: it is not like coolpup's version which installs to /mnt/home. This one installs to /usr/lib so you will need at least 150MB free in your pupsave or partition.

Lupu-507 live pfix=ram on the quad w/ Nvidia onboard graphics.
Initial boot had the correct resolution (no acceleration) and working sound and internet. Installed the Nvidia 256.35 pet and with a bit of tweaking in the Nvidia X Settings it's all good.

I'm still attempting to get Opera 10.60 to work correctly in Lucid Puppy. Instead of trying my Opera pet in either a fresh install or running pfix=ram like usual, I installed it in my frugal install of 507 where I already had Firefox.
Opera 10.60 is working fine........must be using a Firefox plugin......just need to figure out which one.
To confirm I tried the Opera pet again pfix=ram and and the original problems were still there.More confused than ever...............
