Success!!

@mavrothal
Thanks for your advice. I had the savefile in /archpup so I moved it to /archpup1212 and it works!! Thanks a lot.

@oui
I had remastered archpup to suit my needs, ie Spanish kb layout, utf-8 for terminal, software installed via pacman, and I like ii... but it bugged me that the savefile was nott working. I think both options, remaster and savefile have a place and I will use them both as needed.

Thanks everybody for your help!

For new release I plan to add help section in the menu. It will be under System --> How-to, and
for now has 3 items:

Install ArchPup to USB or HDD
Manage packages with pacman
Use ArchPup specific scripts

That will be simple txt files located in /usr/share/archpup/doc and opened with geany. If someone wants to help
and make guide for wireless connection or something else, just post on this forum and I will add them too.
Also there will be new script called arch2sfs, that will convert all Arch packages inside curent folder to SFS module.

Hi

[rcrd]

Hi all,

I decided to try and use a tiling window manager in Archpup. I downloaded i3 with dmenu via pacman and installed it modified the xinitrc (comented out the openbox line and added an exec i3 command). It works absolutely fine apart from the fact that it didn't reboot or poweroff. I had a look at the wmreboot and wmpoweroff scripts and saw it gets the parameter from /etc/windowmanager, which after installing i3 still said "openbox". So I changed it to i3. It now reboots almost fine. When it reboots I get 3 small and very distorted pictures of what I recognized as the background, and after a couple of seconds it reboots. Would anybody know why I these three very distorted images? My other question is, is the content of etc/windowmanager static or does it get read from somewhere else?
Also, when I tell i3 to end the x session, it does ended it, but then restarts a new one straight away. Any idea where I should look in archpup to sort out this behaviour?

You can see a screenshot of i3 working in archpup here http://ge.tt/6g6pH3U/v/0

Thanks, and sorry if my question turn out to be dumb, I'm only trying to learn.

I get a similar effect even with Openbox - a distorted picture of what looks like the last desktop setup appears ( (or probably when the last snapmerge happened ), and then X restarts and it is back to normal. I've had this behaviour every time since making a savefile.

It does not seem possible to exit X easily - logout in Openbox restarts X, and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work either, although this may have been disabled in the kernel according to the Arch wiki.

Anybody had problems setting the localtime/timezone?
Just linking the /usr/share/zoneinfo /Continent/City to /etc/localtime did not work for me.
I had to hardcode the timezone in /etc/profile
Any ideas?

[Scooby]

I dont know how to fix it but when I tried to run Torbrowser it complains about timezone settings?

Could you tell me how you hardcoded it in etc/profile?

See if I can get Torbrowser running

[Keef]

I can't get the time right either.

[Scooby]

I read rcrd post on using another window manager.

I was thinking maybe I could run xfce or compiz on top of archpuppy?
Do you think it possible?

I want to try it since I get a lot of problems with screentearing when playing videos with smplayer. Would changing window manager fix tearing?

cannot try it from here, I am at a different location and cannot get wireless to work. Tried running with linux-firmware-20121118.sfs but it doesnt make a difference. I have Intel Centrino wireless N1030.

Hi

Are you all printing with success in ArchPup?

On my PC, no way in ArchPup (but immediately printing in ArchBang).
