Greengeek: I don't have enough knowledge about how these scripts interact in these newer puppy versions to be of help ... mainly just an end-user with ideas gleaned from others and a few reference notes. Just thought I would set that line to "0" and see what happens .... RAMSAVEINTERVAL=0 should set the auto save2flash interval in minutes so the default 30 is 30 minutes. I haven't played with this for a long time (puppy421 maybe) but at one time, setting RAMSAVEINTERVAL to 5 or 10 set the save interval to 5 or 10 minutes ... guess you could go to 3 digits (999) and still be OK but "0" worked best as there was just NO auto/timed save . Been up for over 2 hours with no auto saves this session ... I usually don't leave my system up if I am not using it .... waste of energy.

Also, I am not running a clean usb frugal instaIl as several days ago i added some .pets including icewm and openbox window managers plus Firefox7.sfs. No idea why my OS auto saves at odd times.

FYI .... you can check on the last activity to your save file by locating it with Thunar, right click on it and then click on "properties" and you will see a "modified" and "accessed" time that will probably state "today" but if you click on "edit" in the Thunar menu bar then "preferences" and set "date format" to a time format you can track actual times of the last Save2Flash. I've been using this check and the presents of a test file to monitor activity when I'm not watching the monitor.

Are you seeing auto saves that you don't expect also? Not very much interest in this area. Guess most Saluki folks are not running this mode or not reporting this problem at least. KJ

Greengeek: Good to read that your OS is running fine ... thanks for your comments. As for the "#412" issue in these scripts .... I believe that any thing after a "#" in a line of code is treated as a "comment, reference, or note" and not ran. If the "#" is at the start of a line .... the complete line is a comment and not executable. FYI ... I think my Saluki 22 is now working normally and Shinobar is monitoring for pupsaveconfig issues.

Shinobar: Thanks for your comments and hard work on puppy projects.

Thanks again ... KJ

I made a new version of Bulldog finder to be
compatible with Saluki

I made a simple GUI to calculate then check a MD5sum.

Look under Send To menu

This should work properly since the user must transfer
the md5sum himself.

Saluki Additions software

I put together a package of utilities so
that they can be quickly and reliably installed
with just a click. Cool

Hi Guys
Have I missed something there doesn't appear to be any mention of this wonderful Pup anywhere on the Puppy Linux News.
I know It's listed on the forums of course but.... seems a shame it's not highlighted on the front of the news.

Great work Jemimah

Cheers

Hi Guys & Gals
Just booted it up and wow looks great no issues with the HPN40L apart from it only recognizing only 4Gbs of the RAM out of the 8GBs knew this would be an issue already as I have been using Lupu latest. The Slacko & FAT64 no worries of course, but just wanted to see how it would boot.
Now before I go any further, has someone already done a PAE build of Saluki with the latest Kernel?

Just checking before I dive in ??? Don't want to waste time if it's already happened. Smile

Cheers

Video card Geforce 6150SE
Monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2233BW

I have been trying to get the Nvidia drivers to work for about a week now Smile

Every once in a while I can get it to work but after a reboot or two the settings are gone and then trying to get it working again is a nightmare.
When it works right I can go to the Nvidia panel and I can see it knows I am using a Syncmaster Samsung monitor.
When it is not working the Nvidia panel does not know what monitor I have.

I have tried with the driver in the package manager, the sfs driver both 33 and 40 versions.
The sfs driver I have the most luck with, sometimes it works most of the time it doesn't.

I even got it working once with a multisession DVD and thought Ah Ha! it wont change back now, as I wont save anymore sessions.
Wrong, next boot settings are gone.
Very frustrating.

This morning I decided to try and old Princeton 17 LCD monitor I have with the DVD multisession.

Booted up with puppy pfix=ram loaded the package manager driver.
exited to command line type xorgwizard choose nvidia nvidia then choose 1280 x 1024 and back command line and xwin.
Start Nvida control panel and it knows the name of the monitor, no problem.
Reboot the system save the session and it boots up, and all is good.
Change the Nvidia settings to 1440 something which the monitor doesnt really support and it works although bottom of screen is not viewable.
Reboot and save, settings still good, change back to correct resolution, reboot and save and all is still good, reboot again and still the settings are good.

Seems the Samsung Syncmaster is reporting something to puppy causing it to change the settings and rewriting the file.
Question is how to get it to stop this so I can use the Samsung.
I guess I could go buy a different monitor but this one is only 4 - 6 years old.

I hope someone has run into this problem and can offer a fix.

Also, I am currently running Lucid 511 and it works fine with this monitor, I have had it jump out once or twice but got it back.
I have also tried RacyNOP and it has the same problems as does Slacko
