Works fine on patched TahrPup 6.0.
I just tried using the default name a second time. It found the duplicate, said it was going to use a modified name, and did.

Updated packages are now available for:

Slacko 5.7
http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/slacko/initrd.gz
http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/sla ... ko_5.7.sfs

Dpup Squeeze 5.X.3.4.12
http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/squeeze/initrd.gz
http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/squ ... 3.4.12.sfs

Dpup Squeeze 5.X.3.6.2.1
http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/squeeze36/initrd.gz
http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/squ ... .6.2.1.sfs

In each case:
1) Download both files.
2) Rename current 'initrd.gz' as a backup.
3) Move both downloaded files into directory containing the frugal install.
4) Reboot.

Note: As for the 'raring' implementation, the 'squeeze' zdrv acts like a ydrv.

Testing in X-slacko-2.2.1n. Frugal install to CF card, pmedia=ATAFLASH, PUPMODE=13. The appearance of the 'save' dialog or not on shutdown does not track the RAMSAVEINTERVAL set in Puppy Event Manager and saved in /etc/eventmanager. Normal behavior would be that setting 0 would result in the dialog, anything else just a straight save with no dialog.

Looking at rc.shutdown, a variable ASKTOSAVE is present but not set. I added the following code at line 99 and the above behavior is obtained. May be a cleaner way to do this, just a suggestion.

Code: Select all

if [ $RAMSAVEINTERVAL = 0 ] ; then  #141118, Marv
  ASKTOSAVE=true
else
  ASKTOSAVE=false
fi

Not in X-slacko currently but in Tahr/Slacko6 the ASKTOSAVE variable is set from the eventmanager > Save Session tab.
As soon as "Save interval" is set to "0" an 'ask to save' checkbox appears.

Thanks, that makes sense. For now I'll export it (set to false) from /etc/profile.local in X-slacko leaving rc.shutdown untouched.

I've done more testing of pupmode=13 in Wheezy 3.5.2.11, and have come up with 2 suggestions for extra patches for 'snapmergepuppy'.

Patch to tidy up symbolic link stuff:

Code: Select all

+++ snapmergepuppy	2014-11-24 04:36:28.138255092 +1000

 if [ -L $BASE ]; then #we have savefolder based on symbolic links
  BASEMTP="/initrd${PUP_HOME}"
+ BASE="`readlink -n -m $BASE`"
 else
  BASEMTP="$BASE"
 fi

This is just an efficiency thing, since $BASE is used a lot in the following code, decode the link once here so the system doesn't have to do it lots of times later. I've no idea if it makes any significant difference.

Patch to fix saving of '/dev':

Code: Select all

--- snapmergepuppy.orig	2014-11-27 03:29:05.466244219 +1000
+++ snapmergepuppy	2014-11-27 03:17:33.000000000 +1000

  [ "$XRUNNING" = "yes" ] && [ -f /tmp/wmexitmode.txt ] && exit

This causes 'snapmergepuppy' to ignore '/dev/tty*'.
This should probably be done by modifying the 'find' line.
In Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.11 with a savefolder using symbolic links, the partition was not unmounted cleanly. Omitting '/dev/tty*' from the file copy in 'snapmergepuppy' produced a clean unmount.
This does not make any sense to me. I fail to discern the connection. But it seems to work this way.
Interestingly Wheezy didn't seem to mind if I omitted '/dev' altogether.
Edit: Adding "|^dev/tty" to the list of exceptions on the first 'grep' on the 'find' line works, and is a neater solution.

Note: TahrPup 6.0 does not have this problem.

Since I'm already modifying 'init', I add an 'e2fsck' command in 'mnt_fnc', in my puppies.

Hopefully this is the last update.

Just in case it is useful to somebody, I have atached the real patch file for Dpup Wheezy's 'snapmergrepuppy' to omit '/dev/tty*' from the list of files to copy.
(It doesn't look very clear in the forum as "code" because the long lines wrap.)

Could a savefolder be the slowest and most complicated full install ever

Definitely not a full install.
I can still do a "fresh install" by renaming a single file.

And a fresh boot with a pfix=ram (or no changes= for slax)... for those floaty moments if say you want to partition or test or compile..

and cleanly load and unload sfs files.... and ...oh well
