Slacko RC
Is anyone else having problems with the desktop SAVE button application?
I have a 512 meg save file and after the initial message displays and then the Saving Ram to file.... appears, it never disappears and I do not know if the save to USB has completed.
When I shut down or reboot, the save to the pupsave file is fast.
So what is happening here?
Is the Desktop save button application broke?
This is with a 4gig USB flash drive with a 512 meg save file.
Also, I am not running ant other applications when this happens.

Click install
Click uninstall
That is how it should ideally work . . .
I do not feel it does yet . . .
We have moved towards the ziggy interface in Slacko PPM.
A big part of Woof is trying to make more packages (and quicker) available for Puppy.
I think Barry and Micko are aware of the ideal - it is simple to state
difficult to implement . . .
----
I used the upgraded Flash recently supplied.
No issues that I could detect - seems OK

Was this a problem in any of the betas? If not I have a possible fix. Let me know please before I post it. Thanks.jim3630 wrote:01micko,
this problem is beyond my skill level and looks like it is not my hardware since in other pups once the speakers are chosen via multi-sound card wizard on reboot sound continues to go to those speakers. have looked in other pups multi-sound card wizard and the choices are the same as in the pic of my first post here in RC. any ideas?

Don't know if this should be reported here or not, but I notice that through PPM :
Test 1:

But PPM > Slackware 17.17 > Desktop => blackbox 0.70.1 (the same one)

@mave there is a QT pet in the PPM there is also a qt_all sfs that can be downloaded from slickpet
hope this helps
Don
the qt_all.sfs link in slickpet seems to be broken...
but meanwhile I think reaching the whole compiling of scribus 1.4x with all its neccessary 3d part libs

INFO: Trouble with mini pci wlan card: rt73usb
INFO: Didn't get this running under Slacko RC with updated wag-profiles... then took a 5,- EUR Mini PCI Express card WLAN "ZCOM XG-920"out of Medion-Notbooks via eBayHi 01micko,
I tried in a MSI VR610X notebook a min pci express wlan card RT73 (because the orginal Atheros 242 didn't work all).
Under Lupu 5.2.8 this runs good, also WPA2. In Slacko network wizard are showing the wlan-interface but scans reaches no results. Log:
Code:
Information about this interface:
Interface: wlan0 Driver: rt73usb Bus: usb MacAddress: 00:0D:F0:4A:A4:34
Description: Ralink RT73 USB Wireless LAN driver.
STEP1a: ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
I'm not familar with rfkill (Barry told about somewhere), maybe there is a kernel issue...

Test frugal install of RC ++
AMD turion 64 x2 tl-50
ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150
Very very slow mouse on first boot - editing xorg.conf to:
Option "MinSpeed" "0.80"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.80"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0080"
Then refining setting further in flsynclient resolves problem.
Ram usage is rather high - around 75-80mb idle after boot, if i recall about on par with the older lucid 525 however considerably higher than the Dpups - Dlite 40-45, Exprime 55-60
New save file dialog worked ok.
cheers.

Does this mean I'd need to MANUALLY enter this command at EVERY bootup?
Or is there a way to have it done automatically at each bootup [of a live CD with pupsave file]?
p.s I'm off to London tomorrow to visit my son [who has a Lupu-526 CD], but will take a copy of my 526 lupusave on a Flash Drive, and attempt to continue posting from there on his PC.

Hi Mick,
«stable» is meant that the X desktop that comes after have ran xorgwizard is reproducible, and uses the siliconmotion driver + the «be» locale.
Instead what is only reproducible when booting fresh (pristine) on slacko 5.29.5 is:
- X desktop starts automaticaly OK with driver = vesa + fr_belgium keyboard if the <Probe> option is activated;
- if doing <Choose> , then xorgwizard displays the drivers full list; there the siliconmotion driver choice and <Test_X_now> brings return to the prompt; doing xwin returns to the prompt again + message «Starting X, specs...If X failed to start, type "xorgwizard" to setup X».
- /usr/lib/x/drivers and /usr/lib/x/drivers-backup folders are empty;
Later tests (before issuing slacko RC) with the xorg4charlie_indian.pet installed brought the drivers list as shown below when running xorgwizard and doing <Choose>. Choosing then siliconmotion and doing <Test_X_now> brings X to start. That 2-drivers list never got displayed using slacko 5.29.5.
Note: in slacko5.29.5 siliconmotion_drv.so and vesa_drv.so are still the earlier version (resp 109K and 21K: later are 119K and 26K sized).
Attached are screenshots of a current slacko5.29.5 with /usr/lib before (orange) and after (green) having copied the /usr/lib/x and /usr/lib/xorg contents from a fixed slackoB2.
Original 5.29.5's folders have been renamed /usr/lib/xX and /usr/lib/xorgX.
Here is a link for downloading a nice working slackosave-4992becy.3fs (except that locale is 'us' which has been updated for slacko5.29.5 - size= 64MB:

Hmm...this post several times re-edited as I could not get reproducible results and a stable savefile;01micko wrote:Hi Charlie,
Strange your siliconmotions issue still as the pet I made for you and Indian is included.

then you can put it on the boot code for the usb.will take a copy of my 526 lupusave on a Flash Drive
Is it iso linux? or do you have grub4dos on the usb?
I try to show on both. I almost never use usb so not sure.
I take an official code as example
Code: Select all
default puppy
display boot.msg
prompt 1
timeout 50
F1 boot.msg
F2 help.msg
F3 help2.msg
label puppy
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usb pfix=usbsave
scottman wrote:Boot with pfix=usbsave to get PUPMODE 13 on HD frugal installs
So does that really apply to CD or DVD or USB? it says it only apply to frugal on HDD
So maybe me misunderstand what is supposed to happen?
if you have grub4dos then you add it here
Code: Select all
title Slacko-5295 B5
root (hd0,0)
kernel /slacko5295/vmlinuz psubdir=slacko5295 puppy pfix=usbsave
initrd /slacko5295/initrd.gz
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though
