1. I think it's not a good idea to hardcoded deleting the .XLOADED file. If everything is ok with X - maybe. But if something going wrong, then this prompt helps to bypass X starting. I know that there is ability to use pfix=nox, but standard prompt seems to be more finger-saving technology (less typing required)
2. It really does. It thinks that it's still on flash in some mystic way. But it's not my own fault [or glory]. Yes, I really edited a little some configuration files on CD, but there was nothing about savefile location. I have just add a key to forcing ACPI usage - it's necessary to powerdown correctly on my board, and add a notification about ACPI is forced to boot.msg file ("Just wait 5 seconds for normal startup (note that acpi is forced)").
Now the "isolinux.cfg" file contents such settings:
Code: Select all
label puppy
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd acpi=force
Btw, while trying to save pupsave file from command line (/usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy /initrd/pup_ro1 /initrd/pup_rw) with X inactive I've got some "file is locked" conditions. So it does not work while some processes are still running. And I really have no idea neither which ones exactly nor how to stop them.
So, next step is trying to burn onto CD pupsave file after correct shutdown with session saved on exit. Awaiting for save completion (now it still saves. about 30 minutes were already passed).
Thanks for remastering ISO file manual too. I did not know how to do it under linux, and used UltraISO under windows.
I have a bit strange situation with the file laying on CD (read-only CD-ROM), but with saving abilities also activated. So if any saving would be tried to perform then the system must raise some writing error message [or simply hang-up]. But nothing like that was detected even when restarting X many times. So, it seems that the X restarting is not an accidental save cause.SimpleWater wrote:I used this method, and works nice, but not guaranteed. It does save on certain situations. I think restarting X is one of them.
