@rerwin
Running Lupu-528.004 with your patch-6 applied, and working well, then...

1. Downloaded your .pet files to /00.

2. Clicked "Save" icon on desktop.

3. Made PupsaveHotBackup to external USB HDD.

4. "Restart X server" to close all programs [3 Firefox-9.0.1 windows + Xfe].

5. Installed lupu528-IU002_rerwin_patch-7.pet and clicked "Save".

6. Installed usb-modeswitch-1.2.1-20111023-adapted.pet and clicked "Save".

7. Rebooted.
There was an auto-save at shutdown instead of the normal choice offered "Save the session to lupusave.3fs? = Y/N".
Need to go back to your instructions on how to enable that choice.
.................."setting "ask" in the /etc/shutdown_save_mode file" now completed, and working well.

8. I see no problems so far. Very Happy

Except...
Having installed Firefox-9.0.1...
My Firefox windows don't stay in order from left to right on the taskbar; instead they apparently rearrange themselves randomly. Sad

Is that a characteristic of the new version of Firefox, or this Lupu?

Also...
9. Still have the problem that the PWidgets calendar does not highlight the present day of the month.

1. "It seems to be a theme bug. I have changed theme setting in Pwidgets and corrected this problem.
Pwidgets->plugins->themes."
Changing themes didn't fix the problem.
In fact, it messed up the ram_bar display [right beneath the calendar].
I made a change in the ram_bar code so it will display values for the MiB and % of RAM used.
The ram_bar disappeared, and some code was displayed in its place.
Rebooted without saving, and all's well and back as it aught to be.

1. "Select apply and not quit."
That's what I did. Very Happy

When that messed up the ram_bar, I tried choosing other themes [and "apply"] one after the other.
Nothing changed as I applied each theme.
The ram_bar display stayed messed-up. Sad

I returned it to its normal state by rebooting without saving the changes.

SUCCESS!

What I had to do:
1. Run PWidgets.
2. Choose "Plugins->Themes".
3. Choose "Stardust", and click OK. [The window closed]
4. Back in the main window, clicked "Apply". [The problem was fixed]
5. Closed the main PWidgets window.

I have a 2.4GHz Linksys Wireless-G USB network adapter. In puppy it show up but it will not connect to any wireless points.

It shows up in the connection log "wlan0"

Could I be missing a driver?

Puppy is up to date 004... Ideas?

Edit: Running a Kubuntu live USB, it works fine...

Playdayz,

We found the cause of the mounting problem. Aparently Pmount does not support UDF disk format (only ISO). Manual mounting works, the UDF support is in the 2.6.33 kernell.

Do you think it is worth to get Pmount fixed to improve 528 ?

See this thread:

Volhout.

Playdayz,

1 page back in this thread I read confirmation from others that other DVD data disk types are not recognized (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW).
I cannot confirm if it is only if the DVD is made from Windows. In my case it was made by Windows. I do not have OS-X to try-burn a data DVD.
