Video Freezes during boot from USB - Radeon HD 6450
I'm having similar issues trying to install Macpup 550 - Video Freezes during boot from USB.runtt21 wrote:Since you can run precise 5.5.0 . make a new savefile with it and rename the save file.
Note: This is not a problem for Macpup 528.
Mother Board - Asus P5Q SE/R
Video Card - AMD Radeon HD 6450
Any suggestion on getting this to load would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Just to give a link with a person that had troubles with that GCARD upgrading from Ubuntu Lucid to Precise :

Macpup-550 includes XORG_HIGH (Mesa/OpenGL) by default - not sure about 528 .
Kernel modesetting might be different and the newer libdrm might handle that different, too .
I have no ATI/AMD machine, so cannot say much else about it .

What we need is mainly log files .
The Bootup has two/three different stages :
1) Initrd.gz 's /init , that loads a few drivers in frugal installations .
2) The /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit that loads the most drivers .
3) The xwin script that starts Xorg .
If your screen is usable until xwin starts , then the way would be to boot frugal with the pfix=nox option
and examine the files in /initrd/tmp and /tmp .
After that xorgwizard might need to run to choose the vesa driver for example .
If things hang, the log files likely are still present in the save-file and are possible to be viewed booting another Puppy that works and clicking the save-file .

MP550 comes with three screenshot apps. The e17 screenshot app is in the main menu as "take screenshot" this will give you a full screenshot that you can edit with mt paint. If you right click on the top window border you have the "take shot" option that will give you a screenshot of just that window. This option can also upload your shots to :

My fav is mtpaint-screenshot screen capture under graphics in the menu . This will also give you a full screenshot but it opens in mtpaint so you can instantly crop or resize it .
Also included is screeny capture windows app but I have never used it.

Sorry for bothering again but I am trying to figure out how can I select a small region screenshot with mtpaint-screenshot screen capture.I used before Carolina Linux and the screenshot option was way more easy to use.I dont want the whole window but just a small region to be able to upload it on prntscr.com.I dont know how to do this.
After you take the shot mtpaint will open . The area select option should be chosen already see my shot the red square on thew tool bar. Use this to select the area and then go under image on the top bar and select crop. you can "drag" the square by clicking and hold and move the curse or you can click once on the pic by what you want and click on the other corner of where you want to select then crop.
