I am using squeeze-5.X.3.1.10.2-SCSI.iso

Ppoweroff doesn't work on my IBM thinkcenter tower with intel graphics.
Is it supposed to work?

Fortunately pupshutdown works so I can shut off my machine.

/etc/rc.d/sysinit misbehaves. I wonder does the PLANG file removal from initrd.gz has side-effects....just brainstorming.

Anyway...I inserted to the rc.sysinit file...to the line 761...this row: ln -snf /dev/psaux /dev/mouse

and it looks now like this:

It is Rox-Filer bug. I dont have that bug anymore when I updated to the latest Barry Kaulers Rox-Filer. But it seems it still cause problems with certain hardware. I dont know any other fix than testing different /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer binaries. I suppose you could copy that binary from Puppy where it works ok.

Don570. Yep...the problem is the missing row in wmpoweroff: killall enlightenment. During all these Pupsaveconfig - other script updates I havent remembered to check that killall enlightenment still is found in all concerning scripts.
PupShutdown has it inbuild but Ppoweroff relies straigth to wmpoweroff - wmreboot and wmexit scripts. The problem is already fixed in my next build.
I posted about my finding some time ago.

Here is a pet to fix those scripts and it also has the latest PupShutdown and powerbutton updates by Shinobar and Radky.

Could you upgrade to quick launch 2.8 because it
now has the time in the window?
This might be useful for people with 800x600 screens.

Also some suggestions...

1)Put less icons in bottom panel so that
the time (digital) can be displayed. Here's what it would look like

2) Put the Rox desktop icon in the upper left of the screen
to be consistent with Barry Kauler

3) Rox should open the /root folder when the desktop icon
is clicked, I think this can be done by changing the
desktop file

or else change the description of the desktop icon

Hi Pemasu,

I recently tried the BootFlash install to USB app, which removed the formatting and then failed. I tried it a few times after restoring formatting, and it was consistent.

I recall that we upgraded to 5x14 to solve some problems.

How hard will it be to upgrade the kernel in 5x14 to 3x?

We need it for video hardware (Hauppauge and SiliconDust) and MythTV.

Thanks!

When I tested monkey find 1.7 with
Exprimo it worked better with foreign characters
than any other distribution.
