Thank you once again for pointing me in the right direction.
I added a desktop fix to remember the last powermode in sleep.sh but all of that is after acpitool -s, weird.

Can you get the 2.2 sleep.sh from the ISO, change #! /bin/bash to #! /bin/bash -x and run it from the terminal and see where it stops?

Yes, you did it correctly. It exited the script because there was a suspend file in /tmp. If you could do it again but make sure there is no suspend file in /tmp first, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

rg66, I deleted the suspend file from temp folder... added -x to top line in sleep.sh file... and ran the updated sleep.sh file in the terminal... the results are in the screen shot below...

@ yr1945

It looks like your using a cable connection. The old one worked because of some typo's and it bypassed the frisbee stuff.

I've made another one to try, if you're on cable it bypasses the frisbee stuff but not on wireless. Make sure it's executable.

Some feedback from wireless users would help as well.

rg66........

I’m not sure why, but the reworked sleep.sh file that you sent me did not fix the problem.

At this point, I want to make you aware of two things: 1) My toshiba laptop is connected to the internet via my wireless router. 2) I stumbled across a peculiar situation. When I first boot and the Quick Setup window appears (country, timezone, etc), the Suspend Function works just fine. However, immediately after I set the country, timezone, etc and hit the OK button, a window appears for me to set up the internet connection... it’s at this point that the Suspend Function no longer works. I went through the same steps 3 times to validate this is where the problem begins.

Anyway, you are definitely right, the problem has something to do with my internet connection. Therefore, you should not WASTE any more of your time trying to sort this out... especially, since it may be unique to my laptop/router and workarounds exist for me (eg, replace the sleep.sh file with the one from v2.1.1 OR use the terminal command “acpitool -s

I am using now X-precise - everything works grate, but I have one problem. I have two sound cards and I dont know how to switch to the other sound card (to be default output device). In normal precise 5.7.1 there is some tool in menu to switch sound cards. I tried to install pavucontrol from PPM (ubuntu users wrote that this is the only easy way to switch it), but it does not work after install.

I have also one other simple question - how to run xfce4-extra-panel-plugins ? I have installed it but I dont know how to run it - I was searching in /usr/bin but could not find it.

If you get the initial boot splash hit F1 and type puppy pfix=nox and run xorgwizard to see if you can get it working.

If you use grub4dos add pfix=nox to the kernel line in menu.lst and run xorgwizard, if you get your video working you can remove it.

Right click on xfce-mixer control (speaker) in panel and click properties, it should let you choose a sound card. Or, there is a Multiple sound card wizard in Control Panel > System. In hind sight it should have been in Hardware not System.

To use the extra panel plugins, right click on the panel and choose Panel > Add new items... and they will be in the list.

Thx a lot ! I was searching that "Multiple sound card wizard".
Do you know why page http://grooveshark.com/ does not work ? I was trying at default firefox and chromium 28.0.1500.71 from PPM. As I read its based on html5 so it should work. I have chromium 25 on normal precise 5.7.1 and it works.

I tried it yesterday and it didn't work for me either, I only just tried it today and it is now working fine, http://grooveshark.com/ had to have been a fault at their end.

rg66 ,


THANKS rg66 !!

Al though i have complained about the pakage manager of puppy precise, I find myself always coming back to precise based puppy.

And i am loving xprecise more and more.

Thanks for adding the feature where i can have the choice of saving or not saving at shutdown.

It is brilliant! Among the many great features that comes with a well integrated xfce environment, this feature which allows users to choose whether to save or not to save is very much welcomed.

It saved me a lot of troubles. Once, i foolishly played around and turned off the menu for thunar then I couldn't figure out how to re activate the menu back. Luckily, at shutdown, i could choose not to save the session, I got back my menu for thunar file manager on the next boot up.

Compiz is also working ok.

Thanks again for x-precise! It is now my favourite puppy.
