Subject: 4 bugs in the XKB Configuration Manager
Subjetc description: (xkbconfigmanager)
Recently, while musher0 and I were helping a new forum member with some keyboard stuff (
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 598#725598), I realized that one problem seemed familiar. Sure enough, I found my old bug report, work-arounds, suggested fixes, and patch file here:
Racy Puppy 5.2.2 Final, 18 Nov. 2011: 4 bugs in the XKB Configuration Manager (xkbconfigmanager)
These bugs remain in Precise 5.7.1.

ok, i think i manage to find the solution to the problem by restart X server everytime i plugged in my modem. it solved the problem although mount it through pmount sometimes seem to work but in my case the drive icon wont or not appear on the desktop for most of the times.

creation of blanck pupsave

by ASRI éducation
Usually, to create an additional pupsave file, I use the script below.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
dd if=/dev/zero of=precisesave2.3fs bs=1M count=256
yes y | mkfs.ext3 -q -m 0 -F precisesave2.3fs
But with Precise (5.7.1) it does not work well. When restarting the computer, I get an error message (see screenshot below).
What can I do to make the additional pupsave compatible with Precise?

@Tui, on your post ===> "pmount- desktop icon", is there a chance you have your PUPPY installed as a Frugal/Full install? And if so, is it installed on SDA2? Or did you make a SWAP "file" and placed it on SDA2?
Here to help

Thank you for this info.
Therefore, to directly create a pupsave file compatible with Precise, I would have added to the pupsave, the file /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
Problem: I know how to create a blank pupsave, but I do not know how to create a pupsave containing a file (/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders).
If anyone knows how to do, I thank in advance for information.
Cordialement,

Maybe something like this, but I have not tested it.
[Edit] I ran a quick test with Precise and it worked.
Once the savefile is created, mount it. Then write the pixbuf stuff into the mount point.
Code: Select all
mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount -o loop pupsave.2fs /tmp/mnt
mkdir -p /tmp/mnt/etc/gtk-2.0
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /tmp/mnt/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
umount /tmp/mnt

Excellent !
With your solution, I'll be able to update two scripts!
Thank you so much!

modprobe -rv snd_intel8x0 hangs on shutdown - precise 5.7.1
Posted: Mon 14 Oct 2013, 18:55
by step
I'm using the precise 5.7.1 retro build live on an HP dv1250 laptop. It hangs on shutdown in /etc/init.d/10alsa stop called by /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown. I did some debugging and it appears that the command modprobe -rv snd_intel8x0 hangs. I tried it from a terminal and it hangs there as well. It doesn't hang when other five snd_* kernel modules get removed. For now I have commented out the outer while loop that calls modprobe -rv in /etc/init.d/10alsa stop. If anyone knows how to permanently fix this issue I welcome some help.
I suppose I can't blacklist snd_intel8x0 because it provides the actual sound system, but I'm not positive.
I tried a precise 5.6.1 live and it hangs in the same way.
My hardware:
# lspci | grep audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
possible bug booting two wired NICs - precise 5.7.1
Posted: Mon 14 Oct 2013, 19:08
by step
I need to report what
could be a bug. A preliminary discussion already took place in another thread
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=89283, so here I'm just summarizing this issue.
I boot, configure eth0 and eth1 with network-wizard, then reboot and I find that only eth0 is connected, while eth1 isn't even up, even though I had also saved its configuration in network-wizard. So this issue can be described as network wizard not being able to fully restore a previously saved configuration when two wired NICs are involved. The configuration seems to be saved correctly, but it isn't restored.
When the system reboots eth0 is correctly configured. Manually executing
ifconfig eth1 up starts the interface but without IP address.
Please look at the linked thread for configuration details, because a cable modem/router and a LAN router are both involved.

Thank god someone finally found this. This problem was occurring on my Inspiron 700m as well, requiring me to use a different version of Puppy. Commenting out that modprobe -rv line in /etc/init.d/10alsa seems to fix the shutdown problem. A proper fix would be most appreciated.

Sound problems aren't the issue, shutting down is the issue. Mine freezes with both versions and this edit is the only fix I've found.
