If you do a google for that error message you'll see that most folk who have had with other distros this have put it down to a bad burn or bad CD burner (same thing I guess.)

Not trying to tell you how to suck eggs but...

Did you check that the downloaded MD5 agreed with that on page 1 of this thread?

Have you tried another burner, reduced the burn speed, changed type of CD you use?

What about doing a manual install (assume you're using frugal) by opening the iso and extracting the individual files.

Just a few thoughts as this is the only post I've seen concerning this error with RC1.

Tell us what happens.

Cheers
Dave
Just a quick update; I couldn't even copy the files (at least, not all of them) off the CD. So a bad burn is what it looks like.

Thanks for replying anyway, but I think I'll wait for 2.14X-Final.

Cheers,

Thanks for the icon switcher gift ttuuxxx, It should be added to the Control Panel list. I was thinking in the miscellaneous tab.

I found the icon change is not immediately applied (I suppose the change will be possible only after icons in /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps are replaced), so the one with the additional OK button could be the best option, because changes for the user seems to be executed after OK is pressed.

ttuuxxx, I like Stardust theme please don´t remove it (I´m a old man with a classic taste :roll: ). I think WhoDo´s theme is better suited for XOpup project default theme, looks good in small resolutions and is based in comic icons (hand drawed), anyway it´s a really good addition to 214X...

thank you,

Not bad at all :) , but I´ll prefer folder icons from UGnome theme, also draw, Pmount and petget icons look something poor (for a color oriented theme). I like Puppy-Oxygen colors... Although Home, PetGet and Pmount icons are not the best ones.

Love the icon switcher. Nice addition.

Like clarf I don't think HaikuPup would be a positive move for 214X. Not that I think much of Stardust either especially the famous fuzzy house for Home. I just think Blue Moon is really good. But others I personally would vote for are erectus, JQ8 and Puppy-Oxygen.

Also FWIW I prefer the no-ok version of the icon switcher.

For the first time ever Firefox won't run. Running from the terminal I get
/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 6327 Bus error "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
I think this happened after I let it update yesterday. Won't do that again.

Anyone know how I can overcome this update and get FF back without having to do a re-install.

Thanks
Dave

I don't have a solution to your problem but ........ my Firefox updated to 3.5.6 and is working normally on 2.14. Hopefully someone else can give you a solution.

Reading through the rox manual I discovered AVFS which lets you browse archives as folders (including tar.gz, tar.bz2, rar, zip...) It is rather small and quick for what it does & arguably simpler (maybe too simple?) than xarchive, xarchiver and file roller.

There is a pet here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... h&id=24169

(It is compiled for the puppy 4.X, but should work for 2.X as well - for more info on AVFS read the Rox help file)
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

Sure dave its simple
delete /root/.mozilla
place your cd into the drive
open the cd and drag /mnt/dvd/pup_214X.sfs to /root/SfS-converter/3-4-Series it will make a /root/squashfs-root folder
delete /lib/firefox and replace it with the /root/squashfs-root/lib/firefox folder and your done :)

Thanks ttuuxxx.
It worked fine...except that when I dragged the pup214x.sfs file from the CD to /root/SfS-converter/3-4-Series it refused to copy. This was with 214X-RC1.

So then I went to a 214X16 install it worked straight away so I used the files from there.

I note that there is a SFS-converter pet which I have applied previously to 214X RC1 but not to 214X16. Could this be the reason? What is the pet for?

Cheers
Dave

I just installed the getez-0.2-i386.pet above and saw a long list in the Petget package manager saying
an entry has been created in the `#the#'X-'
MENU
desktop
desktop
desktop
...
etc.
We had this problem a long while ago and I think MHHP or clarf fixed it.

Seems to be back or is this a getez problem.??

Hi Dave,

I remember that MHHP updated some scripts to show the full dependencies list in pet installations, can´t remember if he made other changes...

UPDATE: MHHP made some changes to /usr/sbin/petget to fix this error, but that fix is for pets containing ending semicolons in their category list. There´s not an alternative for pets with a wrong named .desktop file.

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... start=1769


Anyway there´s a problem with getez pet, if you open that pet you´ll find that desktop/menu file in "/usr/share/applications/" is "Getez wget downloader.desktop" as you can see this file has a invalid name, then pet installer can´t read its contents. If the pet is repacked with the same file but using a different name like: "Getez_wget_downloader.desktop". It´ll show:

Code: Select all

An entry has been created in the 'internet' menu, with text...
As far as I know if some pet contains a invalid .desktop file or just doesn´t have it, pet installer will show that long Menu list. I´m sure we had this problem before with other pet (hard to find the related post in this long thread) and a workaround could be implement to avoid that list, but I don´t know right now where to look at...

Here's another application Grsync and Rsync combined

Quote"Grsync is a GTK GUI for rsync.

Grsync is a GUI for rsync, the command line directory synchronization tool.

It supports only a limited set of rsync features, but can be effectively used to synchronize local directories.
