PupFlux, PupFluxLite & now PupFlux421
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! I'll edit that post later but wanted to get this posted asap...

acpi=force?
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.Shep wrote:I'm not using Pupflux, but have that same problem with other puppies.walter90 wrote:I might have missed it but my PupFlux won't shut down the normal way.

have no idea what these are about ) 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.
guys, afaik the shutdown problems are due to a code-change in wmpoweroff, wmreboot,...
not on puppy right now but will try to post a workaround later.

so here we are again. test this
1. open /usr/bin/wmpoweroff in a text editor.
2. edit line 30 ff
to this
3. Save the file
4. Test poweroff
If this works, apply the patch also to wmreboot and wmexit.
aragon
1. open /usr/bin/wmpoweroff in a text editor.
2. edit line 30 ff

Code: Select all
#w003
#CURRENTWM="`cat /etc/windowmanager`"

killall X
sleep 1
exec killall -9 X
4. Test poweroff
If this works, apply the patch also to wmreboot and wmexit.

Those 5 lines were already present, though the first twoaragon wrote:so here we are again. test thisCode: Select all
#CURRENTWM="`cat /etc/windowmanager`" #kill -9 `pidof $CURRENTWM` killall X sleep 1 exec killall -9 X
were not commented out. So I commented them out,
but it made no difference. Still didn't poweroff.
I'm using dpup477 on a PIII
Thanks for trying.

yes the lines are allready present, but it was lighter to display it in that way...
to be a little clearer on what issue 'could' be solved with my workaround:
a) could be solved
you use poweroff (reboot,...) from the menu and nothing happens, because X doesn't close. if you shutdown from cli, everything works as expected.
b) could NOT be solved
your pc shuts down except last step. often a problem with acpi...

Ah; yeah, when I try (without your changes) from cli it shuts down but doesn't turn off...so this wouldn't fix that, hmmm...I still need to test it though...aragon wrote:Shep wrote: yes the lines are allready present, but it was lighter to display it in that way...

Hey Steve, if you want fluxbox on lupu try my packake I made for dpup. it already has menu generator for puppy "Refresh menus" and option to change wallpaper from menu + fluxconf: fluxbox-1.1.1-i486-dpup.pet
puppy.b0x.me stuff mirrored [url=https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Mb589v0iCXNnhSZWRwd3R2UWs]HERE[/url] or [url=http://archive.org/details/Puppy_Linux_puppy.b0x.me_mirror]HERE[/url]
Oh, dejan you rock! Man that looks good!
Forgot how easy it is to add stuff to the menu...added Hide or Show desktop icons courtesy of forum member "seeker," from here.
Thanks to dejan's work it greatly expedites things. I'm going to play with the menu and strip out jwm and all I can and change a couple of things then I'll post an iso...hopefully in a week or sooner...
