... Are you updating data after selecting other repositories?
This high-lights another area where if you dont know the correct procedure, we are bound to use it in-correctly.

Maybe time to publish a "PPM proper use" or a "Howto Properly Use PPM" procedure by someone knowlegible.

Hope this helps

I really detest the new version of the ppm.

edit:

Figured out how to uninstall packages;
my "detestiness" has subsided. Smile

I tried Lupu-5.2 by live-cd, but it isn't for my old laptop Sad . First boot led to kernel panic, second boot was slow but success. Then... everything is working, working, working... until Firefox or Opera freezes, and show is over. And they can freeze without significant load of many open tabs or heavy scripts. Firefox is rendering some pages better in Lupu than in Quirky or Wary, but anyway, I'm back on Q & W.

First of all thanks for lupu520, it's amazing, definately the best puppy i've tried so far!

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but when you install or de-install an sfs file, all the icons on the desktop reset themselves to the first-start default, usually all over my custom icons.

thanks for lupu!

Use "bootflash" with the iso to install to usb;
should have the ldlinux file when finished.


With a clean install that does work. Somehow it stopped working for me so I started from a fresh puppy 5.2 and made all my changes and it still worked. So I went back to a broken setup to see if it could be fixed. So, apologies to the knowledgeable readers, I hacked bootflash so it worked again. My theory is that formatting the partition after makebootfat erased the ldlinux.sys file. But then why would it ever work?

Here's the hacked version - simplified to a button panel with one button. Oops, I can't attach it and it's long for a post. Basically, I did not zeroize the first 512 bits of the drive or the partition - doesn't seem necessary and you'd need to write something back just to access the drive. Moved the makebootfat to just after the mkdosfs selection.

Code:
 if [ $DRVSIZEM -gt 1024 ];then #1GB
  #set partition-id to fat32 (0b=fat32, oc=fat32-lba)...
  echo -e 't\n0b\nw' | fdisk /dev/$USBDRV
  mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/${USBDRV}1 #FAT32.  -n puppysave
 else
  #set partition-id to fat16 (06=fat16, 0e=fat16-lba)...
  echo -e 't\n06\nw' | fdisk /dev/$USBDRV
  mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/${USBDRV}1 #FAT16.  -n puppysave
 fi
 # cd /tmp/makebootfat
  makebootfat --output /dev/$USBDRV --syslinux3 --boot ldlinux.bss --mbr mbr.bin --copy ldlinux.sys tempdir
 sync
 syslinux /dev/${USBDRV}1

philb, I've had the same issue, and it's not only with lupu520. However, having asked the question myself, I can direct you to the answer:

Could be the solution

This is when I go to change around desktop icons mate? If I should move them around the screen, or even delete some in favour of others - and then reboot - they'll be back, oft-times in their same places which will cause a real jumble upon the desktop space, see what I mean? Sometimes it'll remain fine for one or two reboots, then hit me on the 3rd or 4th. Sometimes as soon as the next. It's not predictable in other words.

To correct this problem, arrange your icons like you want them, then goto /Choices/ROX-Filer and copy PuppyPin to PuppyPinMy. Then when you add an sfs or do anything else that changes the desktop simply copy PuppyPinMy to PuppyPin and restart X to restore your desktop.


Although it doesn't completely solve the problem, it does give you a very quick solution to return your desktop to the way you like it.

It's a hell of a lot better than having to delete/rename/ and customise icons again!

thanks for the solution.

This program may give you a quick recovery from such problems.

It has an option to save a custom setup and restore it.

Hi,
Sad Main Sat box crashed, after looking at it (and what I had loaded and unloaded) I decided it was time to put 5.2 on (has been 511 for a while).

It was a full install so took a bit of manipulation so not too loose things (basically move root, printout of user-installed-packages, check for other keep areas and move them, reformat partition so it is "clean", install fresh 5.2, install pets from u-i-p list, copy back only what was needed after new install from saved material, change profile files for ff to use/match your old bmarks etc., (if you haven't started eudora or thunderbird between install and copy backof .thunderbird directory you shouldn't have to do anything to those programs as they only create them on first run if not already there,) quickcheck programs all working, redo internet and firewall, and off you go. Rolling Eyes easy Rolling Eyes.

However, with 5.2 were using Openbox, not JWM.
QUESTION, how do I set it to hide the menubar in ob, I can't see where.

In the meantime i've gone back to jwm.

regards
scsijon

In Openbox it uses Fbpanel to control the menubar.
menu->desktop->desktop settings->fbpanel configuration->main tab.
In Fbpanel configuration you must select OK on main tab for any setting changes to work.

Right-click the speaker icon in the system tray and choose Full Window. Enable Master, PCM, Front and any others that seem likely and also turn up the volume in each. This should fix things a good percentage of the time. If not, then please try Menu -> Setup -> Alsa Sound Wizard.
