Precise Puppy 5.7.1

#337 Post by L18L »

New forum member MyPuppysaysWauWau has posted about issues with shutdownconfig: no back button.

Here is my fix to get a back button that enables everyone
- to repeat the entire process
- or cancel without shutdown.
#final sanity check...

I'll try soon. This functionality can be very interesting.
Thank you.

#340 Post by RSH »

Hi.

What I did learn from programming functions, is: usually one can have only one function per name or one name per function.

I did not learn that it would be possible to have two functions using an equal name within the same code.

So why there is function free_coord twice in /usr/local/pup_event/frontend_funcs ???

Which one is used ?

If both are used, how does this work ?

And which one is executed first ?

Any clues ?

Thanks.

RSH

Code 1:

Code: Select all

Danke, L18L.

This simple solution was waiting for someone to think about it, and you did! :)
(Very free translation of the French: "Il suffisait d'y penser.")

How exportable is it? To other Puppy derivatives, I mean. Do you know?

Hi, RSH.

Do functions not behave like variables? Meaning: the 2nd one by the same name
supersedes (updates) the first? Not to mention that it should never happen in a
well-written script.

BFN.

musher0

PS. There are "literal" repetitions of script code in the "init" as well... (the one in initrd.gz).

Nice catch RSH. This is now fixed in woof. Musher0 is right that the second function overrides the first so no bug was seen (regarding the duplification) however of course it is a bug!

Hi.

I tried to run Precise-5.7.1 in VirtualBox-4.3.4 (shinobar's edition), but VirtualBox complains about my computer doesn't have PAE. So it did not start.

Without VirtualBox I can run and use exactly this Precise-5.7.1 Version.

Is VirtualBox wrong or my Computer?

Is there a non PAE Precise-5.7.1?


Thanks,

Hello,
I think VirtualBox wrong.
For a non PAE Precise 5.71, you can use precise-5.7.1-retro.iso

Thanks.

I found this and tried this already. It began to boot, but it hangs when it comes to: making the filesystem usable...

A Precise 5.6 derivative and original Slacko 5.6.3 do make exactly the same problems. Lucid and THD boots fine.

Any clue, how to solve this (it destroys a vision of a cool app/function otherwise).

Hello, anyone with Precise 5.7.1 on usb, has experienced like a freeze when execute "Menu---Shutdown---Power-off computer"? The black screen with "Precise-Puppy is now shutting down" remains indefinitely, so I have to remove the battery and unplug the power.

#351 Post by chrabak »

First time posting so be nice:)

Run this cmd on a Precise 5.7.1 full install (with devx) and you will find
about 830 duplicate directory tree entries. I think this is a result of the sfs_load routine. Same with Slacko5.6.

find / -type d | sed -n '/.*\(\/.*\)\(\1\)$/{p}'

Discovered puppy 2009 and have found the joy of programming once again. Thx to all you puppy-makers.

Bit of selective censureship going on -Posts being blocked ?

Precise 5.7.1
I notice the thread http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84718deals with a lan wireless adapter I use as , no doubt , do countless other potential users.
They would be walking away in droves scratching their heads and going to other distros as there is only a limited fix by "pemasu" for the one distro only (5.4.2) and it has not been incorporated in subsequent releases so none of them are useable for people with that adapter . I last looked at 5.7.1.

I see also a bug noted in this threadhttp://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=85477with glipper failing to load reliably each time , sometimes it loads most times it does not and restarting the x server fixes it . If you are deep in the middle of something and want to copy text then everything has to be shut down first.

What is the point of continually updating distributions with new features if old problems are not fixed? I can't use any precise distro except 5.4.2. I guess the others are like that too huh?[/b]
