I compiled the latest FBReader and had those errors, then I compiled the latest sqlite and then recompiled FBReader and still had those errors, but they don't effect the operation of FBReader. so probably a no biggy.

Good, ttuuxxx, thanks a lot. and also to tomo3.
You-all are doing a tremendous service to us users.

I guess the latest FBReader is the "12.10" version?
I just got that one (technosaurus - Aug 30, 2010) for my other computer, which is from 2004 and can run Lucid Puppy 5.28; that FBReader works OK, as I recall.

The one on this (214X-TOP10) computer is, I think, version 12.8; a little older?

[Somehow certain software doesn't run on this (1998) hardware; eg Firefox: "illegal instruction"]

I could try again to run the 12.10 FBReader here, or, is your brand-new version available?

I'm not going to try to understand what you folks do, with compiling and sqlite and gtk and static libraries and such!


Many thanks, again.

Sheldon

I still get the:

loading /usr/lib/zlibrary/ui/zlui-gtk.so
SQLITE IMPLEMENTATION ERROR: (10) disk I/O error
SQLITE IMPLEMENTATION ERROR: in command "COMMIT TRANSACTION"
~>
When run from a terminal prompt, after exiting either FBReader ver 12.8 or your new 12.10, the SQLITE IMPLEMENTATION ERROR: is shown.

But with the 12.10, there's also a segmentation fault, and the program quits. It does load initially, but certain menu choices cause the exiting.

I guess my ASUS P5A with AMD K6-2 has some problem with some software.

For the time being, I'm back with FBReader 12.8

Many thanks,
Sheldon

I haven't gotten around to doing a test install on a sata box yet, the non-booting was the live cd using a sata dvd drive. But, posting now live pfix=ram on another sata box....booted no problem.

Hi ttuuxxx
I just stumbled upon something called underdog, which was in 2 series puppies.
Barry has revived it, but it may still be in 214x init ram code?

Fresh full install of Top 10 on the old reliable P3 test box. Everything working and looking good so far.
Went ahead and installed SeaMonkey 2.7.2 ...... cause I like SeaMonkey. :)

Maybe ttuuxxx has done some hacking to his initrd file in 2.14X or perhaps he has some optimized code in his bootconfigurations.
If you want to find out, I suggest asking him. I guess I cannot help you with the long delay. Please let the rest of us know if you find out, or better yet, let Barry know so that he can upload a fix to woof (if applicable).
(This was apropos of my trying SolidPup on my 1998 ASUS P5A computer)

I'm now back to 214X via MBR.

But the question of why (later?) kernels have the booting delay remains.

I tried 214X Top 10 as well.
I did a frugal install of it.
The problem I face is, it never stays with other puppies.
Always 214X finds pup save file of other puppies and forcibly uses them.

How to tame 214X puppy?

Any suggestions how to use it nicely?

Thanks, I've seen this. Trouble is, you have to do this every time you boot up unto 2.14X after using one of these other Pup savefiles, and then reverse it again to use another Pup's savefile, and it all quickly gets tedious IMO. There has to be a better solution than this.

Just my 2c here.

AFAIK 214X is the only puppy to exhibit this behaviour

Others discriminate between slacko/lupu etc, even discriminating between variants and derivatives of lupu, AFAIK

ttuuxxx
Can we make a general request for you to modify the script which searches for savefiles in 214X to NOT grab any other savefile which is not intended for 214X?
I don't recall this having happened with 214R when I added 4.12 or slaxer_pup?

thanks

The grabbing of a save-file occurs if one, and only one, save-file is found. Otherwise a choice of found save-files is offered.

Just skimming through initrd_sbin/init, I'd say that the absolutely simplest way to avoid the automatic, possibly disastrous, grabbing of a save-file is to always offer a choice, lines 615ff of initrd_sbin/init:
# gives user option of choosing pupsave. if only one exists selects it
choose_pupsave_func(){
## set PUPSAVE
#set -- $ALLPUPSAVES # just pass it to function...
#if [ $# -eq 1 ];then # only one pup_save -- use it
# PUPSAVE="$1"
#elif [ $# -gt 1 ];then # more than one -- ask which to use
echo -e "\\033[1;36mPLEASE CHOOSE WHICH SAVE FILE TO USE" >/dev/console
echo "0 none" >/dev/console
CNT3FS=1
for ASAVE in $@
do
APART=${ASAVE%,*} ; APART=${APART#*,}
case "$ASAVE" in
*.[23]fs) # pup_save file
AFILE=${ASAVE##*,}
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tFile: $AFILE" >/dev/console
;;
*_install_3) # installed to part
AVER=${ASAVE%%_*} ; AVER=${AVER#*Puppy}
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tPuppy $AVER install" >/dev/console
;;
*) # will be files saved to partition: PUPMODE 6/7
echo -e "$CNT3FS Partition: $APART\tSettings saved directly to partition" >/dev/console
;;

let CNT3FS=CNT3FS+1
done
echo -en "Please type a number then press ENTER key: \\033[0;39m" >/dev/console
read NUM3FS
clear #v2.12
if [ $NUM3FS -gt 0 ];then
eval PUPSAVE=\$$NUM3FS
fi
#fi #if [ $# -eq 1 ]
## end set PUPSAVE

snayak,

I think what you need to do is boot with 'pfix=ram' , to ignore any save files. Once you reboot with a new savefile, 214X will list any available savefiles on your drive, as MHHP said.
Once you've got a working savefile, there are methods to enable grub/grub4dos to automatically load thesavefile in 214X's own subdirectory.
