I am puzzled by this. I tried to reproduce some of these problems and I am not having any problems with anything I try with my setup.

No settings problems on reboot, everything is still set the way I initially set it.
I have an ATI video card and it works ok on initial boot.
No volume control problems and sound works, on initial boot, with no setting up by me.

This I do have;
The first boot wizard doesn't refresh its display when choosing a time zone or locale. On reboot the selected time zone and locale is present and correct.

One thing I did before booting with Lucid Puppy 5.0 was to remove all save files and SFS files from my hard drive that where from earlier versions of Lucid or Lupu Puppy.

In the past, I have used newer versions of Puppy, when I had old save files and SFS files on my hard drive and strange and unusual problems would happen. Starting with Pfix=ram did not prevent these problems, only starting with no save or SFS files on the hard drive worked.

Hope this info helps.

Icons missing from "Open With" menu (/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith directory.

Just a bit of "polish" that makes things look more professional, nothing more. Wink

Interesting. The live CD is fine. However an attempt to UPGRADE a FULL install of Q1.0 yields a broken Xorg/VESA combo. The default vga=normal removed from the boot line didn't help, just get the 'run xorgwizard' every time. Wiped HD - OK, but all icons missing (lower lhs icons were overlapped on liveCD). Re-run Xorgwizard, they all appear except sr0 (no disc present!).
Lots of good ideas, needs pots of refinement and polish.

Upgrade Ubuntu? But Puppy Lucid version only make use of the repository.

To upgrade seems to ask for disaster. One wait until the Puppy devs have made a new version and install that one. Or one learn to make them one own maybe. Never do upgrade Smile

My guess here is that my problems are related to using the wrong video driver. How can I determine which video driver my 4.3.1 uses?

See screenshots. I tried looking at a 40k pdf and got a "tmp full" message. I looked in there and xerrs.log is 245meg. Wondering what could possibly be in there, but it won't open.

Edit: I found the source. After a restart I ran Aqualung and when it got to the end of the playlist bad behaviour began in earnest. My cpu was pegged and xerrs.log started to fill up with these lines, repeated over and over:
