[quote="npierce"]But I'm having problems with some fonts.

Another bug bites the dust!
"ping -4" doesn't seem to do any harm. Hopefully no one will report that it messes things up for them.
I have put the -4 option for ping into these scripts:
Pudd, check_internet, video_upgrade_wizard.
Code: Select all
usage(){
echo "
$0 [-p [4|6] |-h]
Simple xmessage based dialogs to perform the 'dd' command

exit $1

[ "$1" = '--help' ] && usage 0

while getopts hp: opt;do

racy 5.2.90 pfix=ram
chosen LANG: de_DE (without utf8)
saved to a new save file called racysave-de_DE.2fs
then reboot
and chosen racysave-de_DE.2fs
# cat /proc/cmdline
video=640x480 root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=normal pdev1=sda3
#
# echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
#
repeated chooselocale (de_DE) several times
My observation:
change to non-UTF-8 does not get permanent
I don´t think this is specific to German.
Other languages, please test: changing to/from utf-8
Hope this will help locating the bug
Running as a German user, I used quickcountry (symlink to quicksetup) to untick and tick the UTF-8 checkbox. There was no problem.
The problem may occur if you altered the initrd.gz the first time, to say de_DE-UTF-8, then that will be used at a reboot. QuickCountry/QuickSetup will offer to change the initrd.gz if you change the UTF-8 checkbox.
No problem if the offer to change initrd.gz is accepted !
Example: Change from de_AT to de_AT.utf8 only permanent if changed initrd.gz.
This leads to the idea:
I have decided wrong and LaRioja has decided wrong.
Why ask the user?
Always change it please without asking
edit:
I have run xorgwizard without utf8, our (shinobar´s) trick OUTPUT_CHARSET=UTF-8 did not work in console
this is leading to the next ( old ) idea:
make utf8 default without exceptions for non English

There have been issues with the Adobe player requiring a machine-language instruction that is not in an older CPU.
This is an awkward situation. I have added a warning, after the player is downloaded, that if it doesn't work, try an older one -- a PET in the Puppy Package Manager.
Usually, you have to give the complete path, viz:The code e2fsck sda1 (which is the correct drive) didn't take?
I do have the same problem with my ASRock K7VT4Apro AthlonXP3000+ MoBo.BarryK wrote:What CPU does the Thinkpad X30 have?broomdodger wrote:I have tried several times on the IBM ThinkPad X30 and Flashplayer 11.2.202.228 does not work.broomdodger wrote:flash 11.r202 not working

What is Puppy booting off? Frugal install hard drive? USB Flash? CD?sszindian wrote:Ran Racy all day without a hitch using WiFi... went to shutdown this evening, and Racy 'HUNG' on the shutdown just before updating the savefile. After 10-minutes I knew a shutdown wouldn't happen so was forced to do 'push and hold power button on computer' to shutdown.
Upon trying to reboot with Racy, all that I get is:
ext2-fs (loop): error: ext2 lookup: deleted inode reference: 16451
and it goes on and on through a bunch of numbers after that so am forced to shutdow with power button again...
Hope It can be recovered?
Bummer BK! and just when I thought Racy was really doing a fantastic job.

When I click a partition icon, I get an error message 'failed to execute child process' and I can't access the partition from there. In Racy it happens unexpectedly at random times, although not real frequent, in Wary it happens after the second/third time I click on a partition icon. In Racy the problem disappears after restarting X, in Wary I have to reboot. In both Racy and Wary I can still mount and access the partitions via Pmount or ROX-Filer (in /mnt/nameofpartition). The problem doesn't have to do with partition types (NTFS, VFAT, etc.), all of them are affected.
