Is there a goggles package for Slacko?

I was just trying your previous suggestion before logging in last time. It hadn't worked, but I thought I might have missed a copy of the sfs file. So I went back and tried searching with pfind. Pfind, unfortunately, is not working properly. It found one "puppy_slacko" that time, and I deleted it. I also deleted all but the last slackosave file.rcrsn51 wrote:Delete the sfs file from the hard drive. Make sure that you look on all the partitions, so that Puppy is not finding a corrupted version somewhere.
Reboot. Puppy will get the sfs file off the CD but use the savefile off the hard drive. Does that work any better?
I duplicated your procedure.
1. I booted off the Slacko CD.
2. I saved both the sfs file and the save file to a vfat partition.
3. I rebooted.
Puppy found both files and loaded properly.
Glad to hear that you are making progress. Try booting off a different Puppy Live CD and see if the files are still shown as corrupted.otropogo wrote:Any idea how I can delete the corrupted slackosave files from my two hard drives with a Puppy app?
Yes, that's a disturbing thought, especially since the last time something like this happened, the entire partition was locked read -only until I could run Dos chkdsk on it. Unfortunately, these are internal hard drives, and I don't have Windows installed on the system.rcrsn51 wrote:Glad to hear that you are making progress.

But I would worry about other underlying corruption in the NTFS partition. Maybe you will have to off-load its content and re-format it.
I recall a fix being offered somewhere, but can't remember where. Xfprot works fine in Lupu 5.28, although Barry seems to think it's broken./tmp/xterm_simulater_hold,sh: line 2:null:command not found

thanks. Unfortunately, it didn't work:rcrsn51 wrote:You can try "ntfsfix /dev/sdxy". But it is not a comprehensive repair tool for NTFS.
I'm in lupu5.28 now. It shows the files as corrupted also. I was able to open them and delete the contents, but they're still shown as taking up the same amount of space. I can rename all parts of the filename except one garbage character, but that one prevents me from deleting the file.sh-4.1# ntfsfix /dev/sda5

given the fact that I can't even view the partition in Windows, I decided instead to let Gparted have a go at it. I let it delete the partition, then recreat it as an extended file (as primary, it didn't give me any format options except ext2) in fat32 format.ERROR: NTFS is inconsistent: Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot TWICE!
Gparted has a check option, in the right click menu, when you right click on a unmounted partition.I've only got about 60GB of data on that hard drive, so I guess it's not that big a deal to move it all. The question is, should I use Win2K or Gparted to fdisk, partition, and format it?
This tells me you are doing something wrong in how you run Gparted. Should not be seeing this.given the fact that I can't even view the partition in Windows, I decided instead to let Gparted have a go at it.

Windows is able to see up to 4 primary partitions.IIRC normally Windows only allows one primary partition, and all the others are logical extensions.
Well, I did find when installing the newly formatted partition in Windows a second time that Windows still doesn't see anything except a formatted hard drive, which it calls "C". It looks like I'll have to Fdisk and repartition the entire drive.bigpup wrote:...

It will run a check and repair if needed.
Not knowing what version of Gparted you used, I would go for the latest version.

Thanks. Is there a pet for it? My experience in manually installing linux apps is zilch. And in fact, I haven't been doing well even with pets.
If you are running only Linux operating systems, why use NTFS or fat32 to begin with? Use Linux formats that Linux is designed to use.
Probably because more reliable reference material is available for problems with Windows file systems. In my experience, Linux documentation is extremely poorly maintained, and ofter dangerously misleading.
Well, I've been using a lot of different Puppy versions lately. Slacko_5.2.9 distinguished itself primarily by providing native support for USB3 in Puppy. I wasn't going to dump it until I knew there was something better, because the difference in throughput is huge. I only discovered Slacko_5.3 today, and had never experienced this problem with any previous version of Puppy. For instance, I've never had a Puppy 4.2x sfs interfere with a Puppy 4.3.1. They've always co-exited on my hard drives without issue.One thing you have seen and indicated by your previous posts is leftover old files can and does cause problems.
Sure, but when you have one OS that crashes, freezes and/or corrupts data every time, and three others that never have an issue, with the same hardware, I think it's safe to say it's not a hardware issue.Consider the possibility of hard drive, connector cables, or memory going bad.
All would cause these problems.
Sure, and I've got all these programs several times over, one more than one rescue CD. I very rarely have any cause to use them, and frankly, many of these programs are not that reassuring. Memtest86 is one I particularly dislike. It used to lock up Puppy 2.13 Retro for me every time.Hard drives can be checked using manufacturers tools available for download at their web sites.
Memory can be checked using program Memtest86.
Free self bootable program found on internet.

I let it delete the partition, then recreat it as an extended file (as primary, it didn't give me any format options except ext2) in fat32 format.Gee. And what could I be doing wrong? There aren't a lot of options in Gparted as presented in Puppy.This tells me you are doing something wrong in how you run Gparted. Should not be seeing this.
Example:Windows is able to see up to 4 primary partitions.
Or 3 primary partitions.
With one extended partition with any number of logical partitions inside it.
Anything above 4 you do with logical partitions inside extended partition.
Was sda5 mounted when you ran the command? Ntfsfix will only work on UNmounted partitions.otropogo wrote:sh-4.1# ntfsfix /dev/sda5
