Hi all,
I have been using puppy version V5.2.8-005.2
for some time now, and the other day when
I wanted to close down the machine it would restart with the desktop
again!
As machines these days don't have a reset button I
pulled the power plug to kill it!
After a restart the machine went into the prompt mode,
with the instruction to use the xorgwizard and the type xwin
Well this continued with the command going around in a circle
with the xorgwizard and the xwin commands!
The selection of a screen resolution made no difference!
What help with this one
Thanks Tui
xorgwizard and xwin
Hi Karl,
What does this all mean? fuser etc!
assume that you replaced some binaries like fuser that kills the shutdown commands .
Look into killzombie function and the unmount part of rc.shutdown of current slacko for differences to Lupu-5.2.8 .
Slacko also does not use /sbin/pup_event_backend_modprobe_protect anymore .
Thanks Tui

How is puppy version V5.2.8-005.2 installed?
Full or frugal?

The old Lucid /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown script has a bug that only unmounts one partition and not all partitions.
It has also /bin/df script replaced with /bin/df-FULL bin.
df script is needed for full installs only for /bin/mount and umount scripts.
I would suggest to fetch the latest rc.shutdown and df from current Slacko.

Did you also select the proper graphics driver?Well this continued with the command going around in a circle

This usually happens with Xorgwizard if you choose the wrong driver. If the driver does not work, it loops back to rerun xorgwizard.
