Been there, done that.
me too,

I lost a couple of save files because chkdsk ran at bootup and screwed things up....and there's no undo for that particular process, so I NEVER let it run any more........pressing any key will interrupt it, then, run chkdsk from within running windoze, if necessary, preferably after copying savefiles to USB stick

Earlier puppies certainly seemed to cope with NTFS better....maybe ntfs-3g has been changed somehow, due to 64bit code allowance?

Good compiling to all !!!!

I write here to ask Tuxxx why devx files are pets and not sfs. I converted Pet in sfs3 with createsfs to have gcc but seems the sfs filesystem is not loaded. (I'm using 214x-top8)
Hi Maguz,

Fisrt post of this thread has the 214x-top6_devx.SFS devx file. This will work with the latest top8, just put this file in the smae directory that your pupsave file and it will be loaded at next boot.

By "earlier," do you mean pre-2.14?

No, I was thinking pre 5 series, as although I have to admit most of my Puppy use to have been predominantly 214/214R/214X, 412/431, and TXZ_4.5, I'm going by the help posts I've responded to, and a personal recall and experience rather than an actual stats count

I've only had 2 NTFS crashes/CHKDSK runs which have cost me savefiles and both occurred with lucid variants, which have been otherwise quite pleasurable
It may merely be coincidence....?

Otherwise, I think I once had NTFS write error/inability, or something, but I can't remember which Puppy that was on....it was a while ago

no more audio

#4476 Post by linuxsansdisquedur »

Something happens to my pc, anything with audio make trouble, big lag, flash on firefox, mp3 on hd even midifiles (i'm fond of)...
Something like "some thing happens to my my my my my my" and so long.
I think about a hardware failure because both classic pup (older ttuuxxxed puppy 2.14) and pizzapup (puppy 2.14 original flavour, my second choice) make it lag!
buffer of audio card (included in motherboard :? ) or ram (256Mo probably used by audio card) ?
I was there when i tried to use dpup 484, i use sometime...and no trouble at all :shock:
What do you think ? hardware failure + 2.14 audio pilote matter or what ????

Exactly what I have...and we have the same NTFS issues with 2.14x.
Perhaps this affects only certain types of processors and/or motherboards.
Edit: Problem solved. See page 300.

ttuuxxx/guys with pII/350s ntfs problems

Maybe its coincidence that its affecting ntfs....as it's a longer read/write cycle

Is it possible there needs to be a bigger wait state/delay somewhere, due to slower 4200rpm hard drives and access times iro 12/15 or more msecs??

just a thought...

The way I look at it wuwei is like this, I've never posted anything on distrowatch, but somehow just on this forum solely by itself we've almost hit 300 pages, I've stayed in the shadows just to prove a fact, Barry likes to quickly move on to a new kernel and xorg, and make new releases which is great . I went another way and Barry went 10 different ways, I'm extremely proud of 2.14x and all the extra help that has went into it. I still think its the best puppy version ever that hasn't hit the limelight.

Hi Hugh,

I can read/write on my NTFS partitions from my desktop system.

I had some problems when I tested top8 in a recently acquired Vostro Laptop but it was fixed too and I wrote about the NTFS problem here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70369. I hope this information could help you.

Regards,
clarf

On ntfs rw

I notice that mounting an ntfs drive by clicking on its HotPup drive icon mounts it ro, while mounting the same drive through the mut tool mounts it rw.

That explains why I could not copy from one partition to another. Thanks for researching this MHHP.

Happy 300th, ttuuxxx :D


Now, is there an easy way to find info in this megalith thread, yet?

I've been pressing for access to John M's phpBB database, so we can finally sort out 'lost' info, with a proper searchable, organised database....but he hasn't replied yet....would someone like to support this suggestion?

thanks

@ Aitch:

Well, there is a way to search this entire thread. Is it easy? I am not so sure.

There is an application "Threadget"
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62236

It will load the entire thread - or parts of it - into one html file. When you open that with your browser, you should be able to search the file for words and phrases; works with Firefox, at least.

And this is of some help, too:

Excellent work guys, nice to see 2.14X finally hit page 300 :) When we hit page 200 I was a bit skeptical that we would hit 300 pages, But with a little work we did, A very proud day for all of us :)
Thanks for the praise also and 300 pages wouldn't of been done without everyone's dedications to 2.14X looking forward to page 400. :)
