Partview crashes

[ecomoney]

Hi, whenever I try to run partview in Ecopup (puppy 2.15ce based) I get this error message, has anyone any ideas?

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# partview
Error in startup script: child process exited abnormally
    while executing
"exec /bin/losetup-FULL /dev/loop1 | grep "/pup_save" | cut -f 2 -d "(" | cut -f 1 -d ")" | cut -f 4 -d "/" "
    (procedure "df_check" line 11)
    invoked from within
"df_check"
    (file "/usr/sbin/partview" line 84)
sh-3.00#

Copy that line starting with 'exec' except for the surrounding outer double quotes, paste it into a console window, and execute it. See what it gives you. It's supposed to give your pup_save file name. If it fails you can try to debug it by chopping off commands at each pipe...

Thanks Paul. I modified the startup files within initrd.gz to use eco_save.2fs and not pup_save.2fs, so that existing puppy users could try it without interfering with their existing puppy frugal install. Your post put me on the right direction. I edited /usr/sbin/partview "as text" within rox, and replaced where it said pup_save.2fs to eco_save.2fs and everything works fine now.

Thanks for the tip
