CP: cannot create regular file

Do you have a Windows-computer?
Did puppy create a file pup001?
If this file was not created:
In Windows, download and extract to C:\
http://noforum.de/dotpups/pup001.zip
It needs 254 MB free space and is needed to store your personal files and configuration.
Then copy usr_cram.fs from the CD to C:\
Then boot puppy from CD.

Not able to install to HDD - What I am doing wrong
Posted: Thu 02 Mar 2006, 15:34

Hi I am having another go at trying to get PuppyKDE to hard disk. The hard disk is a small one 3 gig and given over to Puppy entirly.
I copied the seven files from the CD that make up the Puppy I have installed Grub and given grub the same parameters as mentioned by MU above.
When it boots it tells me that the usr_cram_fs file cannot be found as MU says happens on his Windows install. Windows is not on this PC let alone the disk, is it the same problem as MU encounterd and if so will the fix he used for Windows sort this and if so how do I go about applying it as I cannot run the KDE version from the disk.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

try a grub-entry like
kernel /kdepuppy/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=18456 PFILE=pup002-none PHOME=hda1

Hi Mark
thanks for the help. I amended the line as described and I now get a kernel panic VFS Unable to mount root fs on 01:00.
Any ideas thanks
Sam
PS would it not be easier if I were to install a copy of the install to hdd script to my version of KDE puppy, I assume that is the reason it is not working because the script is not there.
Posted: Fri 03 Mar 2006, 07:50
by SamSung
OK well my own answer to the PS is no it would not the script is there but just does not work.
So in conclusion still looking for a way to get this to work on its own partition.

Dot Pup not downloading list
Posted: Fri 03 Mar 2006, 17:03
by SamSung
Aanother question I am afraid.
I have followed all of the above instructions in the thread to resilve missing libs and the missing Dot Pup downloader, and installed them, when I try and run Dot Pup it has an error downloading the list and uses the old one. I am connected to the net, so any ideas what the problem is.
Also MU reported that to get Kate to work in with web sources a symlink needs to be created, how is that done.

Type in a consolewindow:
cd /usr/X11R6/bin
cp xedit xedit-beaver
ln -s /usr/bin/kate xedit
------------
Dotpupdownloader:
Do you get an error when running
/usr/local/Dotpup-downloader-mu05/start-downloader
from a consolewindow?
hmm.. you might not see relevant errors, as wget runs in xterm...
please try:
cd /usr/local/Dotpup-downloader-mu05
wget -O dotpups1.htm

wget -O dotpups0.htm

We can see there is a lot of potential here:
1. We couldn't get ethernet or dialup connections to work.
2. Could Open Office 2.0 and Firefox 1.5 be added?
3. Delete the religious popup.
4. Keep up the good work- there is a need for this!
Well

Well, I have been waiting for more support of this project.
I mean there were only the usual replies of complaints & request. But not a lot
of people showed genuine interest. So until that happens I won't worry about this.
As for the religious logo. I won't go there..
As for openoffice, I could include koffice.
And for firefox, there is konqueror. Less weight.
Just burn it as a multi-session, you can add & take what you want out.
Support fro this project

HI klhrevolutionist
I think this is the best thing that has happened to Puppy and would like to support the project in whatever way possible. What do you need.
I like the KDE version so much it is now the default OS for both the PCs at home, now that I have overcome my limitations on getting it installed to the HDD. So I hope to be posting a lot of my findings here over the next few weeks and months, questions for sure but hopefully some answers as well.
I would certainly like you to feel encouraged from the work that you have done. It is always difficult in providing a solution for a number of people as the old saying goes "you cannot please all the people all the time".
In short hang in there, you have done sterling work.

Hm I can see from the date of my files, that I had replaced them.
But I made strange symlinks, maybe to avoid a conflict between different programs.
But don't remember, where I got them from.
Here they are, please try this Dotpup (950 kb):
http://dotpups.de/isos/Puppy-107-KDE-3. ... 0puppy.pup

OK tried that installed the dotpup and said yes to overwrite the existing libraries but now the dot pup downloader does not launch
Here is what I choose from the menu Setup > DotPup Package installer - The Puppy Package manager window appears I click on the run the dot pup downloader. Nothing then happens.
Over to you MU.

How to get Konqueror to recognise HTTPS
Posted: Mon 06 Mar 2006, 10:14
by SamSung
By default Konqueror in KDE Puppy will not browse secure sites HTTPS (so you cannot log into ebay etc) for that to happen install the Blackdown Java dot pup
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Libraries/Sma ... ckdown.pup
this is about 11M.
After install it seems to work without any further configuration which the Konqueror homepage suggests
http://www.konqueror.org/javahowto/.
I have tested it on two secure sites successfully.
I am also new to Puppy and Linux so if there is an easier lighter way of achieving this then please let me know. If some one else would test and this proves successful I will post something in the wiki, is that the right place.
Cheers Sam

please run "dotpup" from a consolewindow, to see error-messages.

Thanks Mark that showed that a file was missing (dotpupdownloader), one that I had downloaded before, anyhow re installed it and it works.
To be sure I reinstalled the pupXXX file on another Puppy kde PC and went thru the process of installing all the updates mentioned in this link and the dotpup downloader works fine on that install as well.
Any chance you could give you opinion on the Konqueror HTTPS post above, as you are experienced with all things puppy and linux I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Sam

I have no idea.
I can go to https-sites without installing Java.
Also the small-java dotpup just has a "jre"-folder, but no other libs.
So I wonder, what it might have to do with https.
I'm really confused about that
Maybe you rebooted your computer after installing Java, and so Konqueror just became aware of the new ssl-libs as it was restarted?

Kenny,
I just stumbled across your post of March 5. Don't get discouraged by lack of feedback. Maybe quite a few people are - like me - just using it and not complaining. Looks great and is way faster than KDE from the big dog distros. Have also tried KDE via the underdog technique of Puppy2, and it is much slower. More power to your elbow.
If it encouragement you need - you've got it.
