guys, afaik the shutdown problems are due to a code-change in wmpoweroff, wmreboot,...
not on puppy right now but will try to post a workaround later.

so here we are again. test this
1. open /usr/bin/wmpoweroff in a text editor.
2. edit line 30 ff
Code: Select all
#w003
CURRENTWM="`cat /etc/windowmanager`"
kill -9 `pidof $CURRENTWM`
to this
Code: Select all
#w003
#CURRENTWM="`cat /etc/windowmanager`"
#kill -9 `pidof $CURRENTWM`
killall X
sleep 1
exec killall -9 X
3. Save the file
4. Test poweroff
If this works, apply the patch also to wmreboot and wmexit.

Thanks, Aragon! I'll give this a run....

mmhm..
As a wm dilettante, I'd find that I needed to ungracefully 'kick' my mod of plogout with ctrl+alt+bs (and then I rediscovered the 'endlines' thing for wmpoweroff, wmreboot and startwm with recent pups) - it's even nicer if there is a wmexit file as well ..
.. keep on a-rockin' me, baby …

Those 5 lines were already present, though the first two
were not commented out. So I commented them out,
but it made no difference. Still didn't poweroff.
I'm using dpup477 on a PIII
Thanks for trying.

shep,
yes the lines are allready present, but it was lighter to display it in that way...
to be a little clearer on what issue 'could' be solved with my workaround:
a) could be solved
you use poweroff (reboot,...) from the menu and nothing happens, because X doesn't close. if you shutdown from cli, everything works as expected.
b) could NOT be solved
your pc shuts down except last step. often a problem with acpi...

Ah; yeah, when I try (without your changes) from cli it shuts down but doesn't turn off...so this wouldn't fix that, hmmm...I still need to test it though...

If anyone cares
I'm hacking on Lupu 5.1.1 and have fluxbox running on it. It will take a while if it is at all possible to strip and clean, etc., but just wanted to mention that I'm playing with it right now.
If I can pull it off I'll start another thread...

See, I knew I was behind on the game...
Nice, dejan! I'll get that one going as it looks more stable...

Oh, dejan you rock! Man that looks good!
Forgot how easy it is to add stuff to the menu...added Hide or Show desktop icons courtesy of forum member "seeker," from
here.
Thanks to dejan's work it greatly expedites things. I'm going to play with the menu and strip out jwm and all I can and change a couple of things then I'll post an iso...hopefully in a week or sooner...

Well, I'm really close...custom boot image, hacked away on the menu, themes, images, looks great, very fast, etc...then the pc I was using today: complete hard drive crash! Awesome...today was spent being data recovery guy...
Almost got it totally back, though...
Anyway, have had some issues getting it to start in fluxbox...at first, had to make sure /etc/windowmanager wasn't getting changed...xwin fluxbox is the only thing that will start it...I'm going to try modifying /root/.xinitrc to exec xwin fluxbox...any suggestions/comments on that would be helpful.

by steve_s
Gotta have /etc/windowmanager and /root/.xinitrc both set with startfluxbox, that fixed it.
But now wmexit, wmreboot, restartwm and wmpoweroff all give me this weird message and don't work...ugh...something about kill then giving options for that...something in the script. I'll try and figure that out and/or post back the error message...
