Hello everyone, this topic of puppy not being able to recover properly from sudden power failures or shutdowns has been there in t forums for a while, i wonder though why t correction hasn't yet been made in t original boot scripts.. Anyways, I have a full-hd installation of puppy linux 4.3 on my comp, and i too faced this problem of puppy not starting after a sudden shutdown.. Agreed, it can be solved by after browsing through t forum but it is quite a task, n one will probably end up reinstalling, like i did.. t problem that occured on my comp was similar to the one found in this thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=36944 It has problems loading usb modules, then enters into a black screen with '#' Then, after typing "xwin" t gui starts, but usb devices are not recognized unless i do a proper restart (type "poweroff" or "reboot" at t command prompt/ black screen which u r taken to when started after sudden shutdown) And finally, with help from various posts in t forum, i could get t following script to solve t problem: I thought i'll post this on t forum, cos this problem of puppy not starting properly after sudden shutdown might make new users to puppy run away..
I added these lines to t rc.sysinit script in t /etc/rc.d folder after t "Making filesystem usabel" part, i.e. just above t line ############VERSION UPDATE############# So, basically, as we see in t above script, there are a few temporary files which are deleted during a clean shutdown, so this script will check for a clean shutdown, and if that wasn't t case, it'll delete those temporary files and proceed with t startup.. Now i can, without any problems, recover puppy from a sudden shutdown on my computer.. (note: mine is a full hd install, i've not tried on frugal installs) I have also attached t rc.sysinit file with this post.. If someone else also faces similar problems, one can replace t rc.sysinit file in /etc/rc.d/ folder with this one, make sure to keep a backup of t orignal script though, just in case.. Also make sure t file has executable permission, i.e. after copying t file into /etc/rc.d/ type in terminal:
to enable t executable permission.. Also, i found another post on t forum by silverpuppy related to this topic, might be useful, the link is: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47668 pls provide feedback if this was useful, thank you..
