I didn't see anything in the menu to do that, but you can do it in terminal, " xset +dpms " turns it on and " xset -dpms " turns it off. |
That will turn off dpms (energy star), but you also need to turn off screen blanking.

Good to hear you got it working. It sounds like Wine is over writing something in LibreOffice with a older version. What I would try is to boot without a savefile, load wine manually with SFS-load and then load the newer LibreOffice to see if it and Wine work ok.
I would think SFS's are loaded alphabetically or maybe by order in SFS-load. If this works you could try renaming the Wine SFS to something like aWine or whatever so it loads first, or making sure Wine is in the SFS-load list first.
Just guessing though. |
@ rg66:
Tried that, still have a same problem.

Got me on that one. Can you access the partition if booting into RAM? Is it an ntfs partition? If so you may need to do a "chkdsk /f" on a windows machine.
It might be looking for fsckme.flg and it's not there or corrupted. Are you using grub4dos? If so does the precise entry have "pfix=fsck"? Maybe get rid of that and try again.
Just guessing though.

Hi rg66:
I removed the pfix=fsck entry from the menu list but the result was same. After that I tried "chkdsk/f" from windows, restarted that system. Everything goes fine. Now I can access the root partition (which is NTFS) without any issue.
Thanks for the help.

x- precise is my most used puppy. I cannot express how much i love the feature - that gives me a choice "to save or not save" when i shutdown.
great THANKS to rg66!
Wish I was rich enough to send donations for your work.
Really appreciate x-puppy precise!

Some will work, some won't. You can try them in RAM so you don't mess up your savefile.

So how do you install new app ? Do you compile app specially to X-precise ?
I am currently installing apps from puppy package manager.

rg66 ,
i need to ask one thing. I am not an expert on computers.
When I install and start xprecise from pendrive, I am able to have this feature - save or not save - at shutdown time.
When i install and start xprecise from external hard disk, I am unable to get this feature - save or don't save - at shutdown time.
Is there anything I can do in order to get this _ save or don't save -feature on my external hard disk installation of xprecise so that it will work just like my usb pendrive?
Thanks

The apps from package manager are made for precise. The ones in Carolina repo were compiled in Carolina for Carolina.

To get that to work from a harddrive change menu.lst entry to pmedia=ataflash
