Hello,
- I made that chaneg to the menu.lst file however it is still in read only mode.
Getting this when booting:
.......................................
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line30: /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE: Read-only filesystem
.......................................
- It must be something with that above? that is causing the system to boot in readonly mode.
Thanks for help,
Best regards,
Johan

Hello
Thanks MU,
- Seems to work now that message during bootup is now gone - excellent!
- However when changing settings to conky these settings are not saved after reboot?
- Also that question at bootup "keep it simple" or "shiny thing" is that something you can modify ?
So it saves the choice i make - so i dont need to make that choice at every bootup.
Thanks alot,
best regards,
Johan

I think you must edit /etc/conky/conky.conf
Is that, what you did?

Hello Again,
- No i edited using the menu then reloaded the conky and verified the change.
- However that menu item must edit the wrong conf file.
- Editing /etc/conky/conky.conf works - so thanks again.
- Do you have any clue on how to remove that question that always shows at bootup ("keep it simple" or "shiny things") ?
Best regards,
Johan

the puplet still contains Rox-Filer.
You could launch in from .xinitrc.
In this case, you had to deactivate the PCManfm desktop (right-click the desktop, look in the settings there).
Like this you could use the trash from Rox-filer.
You might have to play around with some settings, until you get optimal integration of LXDE and Rox-filer, as the system is optimized for LXDE/PCmanfm.
PCManfm is following the freedesktop.org specifications, and based on .desktop files in /usr/share/applications and the standard MIME system.
Rox-filer uses own versions,
Puppy uses a lot of tweaks to integrate Rox as a usefull desktop.
So in this puplet, it might not always work as expected.

Doesn't like my Medion MD8818 PC apparently.
After the first two lines, I expect something like unlzmaing, but the screen goes black.
A pity, as I would liked to see my sata and e-sata HDD's were supporte in this kernel.

@playdayz: I'll try to fix that multicore glitch.
@divisionmd: about conky, read bug/bugfix in page 2:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 4&start=15
To remove autostarted apps (shiny things) launch lxsession-edit. To add more apps to that list try to press the RightMouseButton over the desktop, choose "Add application shortcut", create a new launcher, copy the new launcher to /root/.config/autostart and run lxsession-edit again to enable/disable it.
@wkr: there's no trash can support in PCManFM, but if you want to use the Puppy Trash Can: disable "Manage Desktop" in PCManFM's preferences dialog, enable ROX's Pinboard in LXSessionEdit and restart X. Now just drag and drop file to the Trash icon.

@Béèm: I disabled some messages in kernel .config file to make it less verbose. But if you want to know what's going on please boot with loglevel=7. Example(grub):
Code: Select all
kernel /ultrapup/vmlinuz loglevel=7 psubdir=ultrapup pfix=ram

Never tried with loglevel= A wealth of messages now.wow wrote:@Béèm: I disabled some messages in kernel .config file to make it less verbose. But if you want to know what's going on please boot with loglevel=7. Example(grub):Code: Select all
kernel /ultrapup/vmlinuz loglevel=7 psubdir=ultrapup pfix=ram
So added loglevel=7 and pfix=ram
The freeze is at: freeing unused kernel memory. 376k freed.

I made a pet of Scribus 1.3.3.12 that works with the Unnamed One (since I used the Unnamed Puplet to make it)..

Some more info concerning the problem with 3D on intel cards.
I paste my conclusions I sent via mail with someone.
Q: - Just one thing I have noticed when testing here is that even
though "direct rendering" is active I don't like the graphics performance
when testing with for instance google earth.
In the computer I am testing with has the graphics card is "Intel GMA
X4500HD (Graphics Media Accelerator)".
A: it is a G45 chip:
http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/c ... erview.htm
I suggested to replace drm.ko with drm.bak.
The result in Xorg.0.log then was:
drm.ko seems to start fine according to the log.
Strangely, after dri installed successfully, you get a memory error:
----------------
(II) intel(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) intel(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 0 at 0x03f7f000 (pgoffset 16255)
(WW) intel(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: binding of gart memory with key 0
at offset 0x3f7f000 failed (Invalid argument)
Fatal server error:
Couldn't bind memory for HW status
----------------
I never saw such an error before.
Maybe with the log of your former setup, I can get an important hint.
Please also attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I then was sent the Xorg.0.log with the "original" drm.ko, X starts here.
My conclusion:
ok, this clarifies things, but no solution.
------------
[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) intel(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
-----------
As you now have the "wrong", first drm.ko, the required dri-kernelmodule (i915.ko) cannot be loaded.
So you have no dri.
In consequence you get:
-----------
(II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
----------
This is the SOFTWARE renderer for OpenGL.
It is slow, but works.
So it was correct (in theory) to use dri.bak instead, because it enabled hardware accellerated dri.
Unfortunately it causes the memory error.
In the thread for the old puplet, wow wrote about problems with the new dri driver.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=240
I think on the pages before, there already was a request concerning intel cards.
Yes, was here (for the old kernel):
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=195
At moment, I have no solution, just wanted to let you know, what the logs told me.
Maybe I get another idea by googling.
The best solution would be, if I had such a computer for tests, so I could try to compile some packages on my own.
I will however post my results to the lxdepup thread.
Maybe wow has another idea.
