I uploaded the new iso the server is slow ATM for downloads
must be getting a lot of downloads at the same time
so I havent checked the md5sum on the download yet

if you have the 7-7-2010 iso you need this fix
http://www.puppy2.org/slaxer/mime-tgz-f ... 3_SLXR.txz

for the click on tgz package to install the 7-13-2010 has the fix built in



89f44e890470e19267f4cd329c5d29c0 TXZ_Pup-4.50-7-13-2010.iso

the next iso is called 7-13-2010 I post the link when I confirm the iso

if anyone confirmed the iso md5 let me know I'll try again tomorrow

Why is it that some of the recently released Puppies [including TXZ_Pup] won't boot on my 2002 hardware? :(

I have a usb connected HDD and a USB flash drive.
Some days ago I booted with the USB HDD connected and got the sda1-sda7 partitions (sda3 being the extended one)

Now I added the USB flash one which only has one partition.

The USB HDD became sdb1-sdb7 (sdb3 being the extended one)
So far so good.

But the USB flash was sda1-sda7, but only sda1 can be mounted as the others don't exist.

What is going on here?

Hey Béèm


check the first post for the new iso
the server is cooking fast now get it while you can



are you on the 7-7-2010 version or the 7-13-2010?



I wrote a simple mount tool
you manually unmount using the ROX unmount that is displayed in
the standard rox menu to keep things safe
remember this is a simple test

the "ok" also works as a refresh the list if you plug in
a USB while the xmounter2 script is running

just click on the script called xmounter2
its only one script

**the only reason I want you try this script is to see
if the other USB's get listed

since it uses a different method of checking than the puppy script

that will help me narrow down the problem

Joe
I boosted the server so as to give me 500KB/sec. :wink:
I was on the 07.07.2010 and will switch to 07.13
I had the desktop drive icons redrawn and it is now as it should be.
So no worry about that issue.

Big Bass,

Keep doing what you enjoy doing and I'll keep licking up the crumbs!

I switched to one of your very early Slaxer versions as my main operating system and have never gone back to regular Puppy. This weekend, I'll try your new TXZ version. It sounds great. The only problem is that I have my old Slaxer version tricked out just the way I like it and I'd hate to have to do that all over again -- or maybe it would be great fun to do it all over again. Oh, the decisions!

hey hillside

:D

thanks


testing is safe with

Code: Select all

puppy pfix=ram 
just dont do a version update start clean
I had to remove old 412 sfs you could just rename them also

to pup_412-old.sfs or something else
to prevent the kernel panic error of using a wrong sfs file

then when its time to make the save file save as TXZ the pup file gets auto named from the GUI installer to
pup_save-TXZ.2fs


BTW the TXZ has a new number for the sfs pup_450.sfs
with new icons for 2fs and sfs

I know the issue. For puppies I did customization also. Mostly things done in a terminal/console.
What I did is put these in a script and when I change a version, I run the script and I am back in business in minutes.

Thanks for the latest TXZ Joe.

Just installed frugal on my X2 with geforce 8200 GS, great job providing the nVidia drivers, the standard open source drivers don't cut it with my hardware, well they work, but I think you know what I mean :wink:

I still have good ol' slaxer on my older box, still runs like a champion.

I'll keep TXZ around too, always good to have a some diversification, :lol:

Cheers

sir big_bass got some issues/query regarding TXZ_pup

1. i tried installing GRUB many times but wont boot after reboot!
even if try all the GRUB option, though i'm no expert with puppy or linux for that matter i can say i can easily install quite a few linux distro and puppy

one thing i notice it needs a M$ partition to continue with the GRUB booting without error (why? why? why? :( )

2. can i remaster it just like other puppy? (i successfully remastrd 4.21 with our school simple requirements without problem!)

3. when i installed some of the files provided here particularly openoffice-3.1.1-i586-2jsc.tgz, it did not install its menu properly furhter investigation showed it was actually put under some CATEGORY not found in TXZ_pup and when i tested it the language is german (hope i got it right).

i haven't tested other packages included but will find time in a few days, i'm seriously comtemplating in using your derivative cos i find it somewhat fast as compared to our currently installed puppy

issue number 1 really got me thinking for 2 days now!

last point, i didn't really like slack way back before when i started exploring open source as alternative to M$ but with your puppy whoa it made me stop and force my senses to give it a try one more time :D

Hey badsaintz

1. I dont use grub I use lilo to boot (I have slackware installed) so in order to set up grub I have to manually install my other hard drive ( I shouldnt have to, this should work for you)

but ... in geen is a standard 412 install as an example only dont use that

title Puppy Linux 412 frugal
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
kernel /puppy412/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=puppy412 nosmp
initrd /puppy412/initrd.gz


in blue is what I would change to boot TXZ_pup
notice I made a new folder called txz_450


title TXZ_pup 450 frugal
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
kernel /txz_450/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=txz_450
initrd /txz_450/initrd.gz


a blank text file called IDEHD
the real files initrd.gz pup_450.sfs vmlinuz should all be inside the txz_450 folder

======================================

# Bitmap in BMP format: 640x480x8
  bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
# Menu colors (foreground, background, shadow, highlighted

# Location of the option table: location x, location y, number of
# columns, lines per column (max 15), "spill" (this is how many
# entries must be in the first column before the next begins to

  bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
# Timer location x, timer location y, foreground color,
# background color, shadow color.
  bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255

# Standard menu.
# Or, you can comment out the bitmap menu above and 
# use a boot message with the standard menu:
#message = /boot/boot_message.txt

# Wait until the timeout to boot (if commented out, boot the
# first entry immediately):

thats just number one I'll get the other questions a bit later
moving to another house so a lot of work today carrying boxes

right click open with is mostly broken links

epdfview won't open - error: libcups.so.2

hiawatha gives the dreaded 403 error no matter what i try
uninstall - reinstall - change permissions
i really like hiawatha to work/play with
Iĺl fix the right click and make a script to updated that (remove those)

Code: Select all

rm -f  /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/composer
rm -f  /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/gview
rm -f  /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/gxine
rm -f  /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/inkscapelite
rm -f  /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/mozilla
rm -f  /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/pupzip


removed cups so epdfview needs one dependency from cups
I wanted a clean start if you dont want cups installed I can upload you that lib as a package fix

http://www.puppy2.org/slaxer/libcups2-1-i486-3_SLXR.txz







hiawatha : the only thing I noticed that changed was one config file so here it is
that must have been a bug fix that never got in the official package
http://www.puppy2.org/slaxer/hiawatha_f ... 3_SLXR.txz

hope that does it for you

sorry big_bass but hiawatha is a no go
tried several different versions with same results - 403 - forbidden
tried everything i could find on forum and at hiawatha site too
hiawatha is running but just won't display anything

seems they had the same problem on one of the 4.2 alphas
evidently it got fixed on later builds
but nobody ever really figured out the bug

tried chmod 777 -R /root
chmod 777 -R /etc
even chmod 777 -R /
tried new seamonkey
still get 403 - forbidden
i'm stumped

maybe next rebuild it will get automagic fix :?
