wake noise

#931 Post by westwest »

Frugal install to HD on Dell Latitude E6400, all seems well, except for a small issue:

Waking from sleep mode produces high pitched beeps from the speakers.
This seems to be a new issue with the latest version.

I've tried disabling the Power Manager, but the problem persists.

@westwest try to swap kernel using kernel of other puppies. Just placed the vmlinuz beside the puppy_xslacko_4.4.sfs and copy the zdrv file of a corresponding puppy beside also the puppy_xslacko_4.4.sfs rename the corresponding zdrv file as zdrv_xslacko_4.4.sfs and you are good to go

My thoughts
I'm glad that some Puppy devs involved in Woof-CE noticed and considered my logic and stuffs here in Puppy Forum.

@kuman

Im not sure but you can try to install firefox.

did you put the main sfs files of x-slacko slim in a folder? if yes, specify the foldername on your bootloader settings using this

Code: Select all

psubdir=[your folder name]

It takes me to a blue screen w 3 options - save, go to prompt, reboot. I've made a mistake, to put the .iso file in a folder while the others are not. Do i need to put the name of it in brackets? I did it at the prompt & it didn't work. I've not decompressed the .iso too.

@kuman11 brackets are only placeholder just substitute it with the folder name (without bracket) where the X-Slacko Slim is saved.

If you are using syslinux, just press tab in order to edit the boot settings, press enter to apply. for grub press e edit boot settings, press b or F10 to apply

beeps

I've swapped in the kernel from the latest Stretchpup, also from LxPupSc64.
Strange beeps persist upon waking from sleepmode...

@westwest, what is the brand name and model of your computer?
@kuman extract iso on a working linux distro. Can you please show your bootloader settings to examine?

I don't have backlight on mine.
The power app in XSlacko 4.4r24 doesn't seem to work properly. The screen's set to go off in 1 hr though it can only last for less than 10 min ...
