@shr1k: Great! Glad you got it sorted. I reckon that the problem was caused by a previous 3.01-based puplet, NOP or the original 3.01 for example. These files have exactly the same name but contain different data. If this is the case however, remember that if booting the other puplet xpup_301x.sfs will need to be
re-renamed! There might be a way for me to rename it to something like pup_wN02.sfs at the point of remastrering the ISO, but I'm not sure how straightforward it is. I'll look into it though.
Well thanks for that
and happy wobbling
@puppyluvr: Mmm the plot thickens. Okay well I'm less convinced that it's an XFCE session manager issue, because it shouldn't effect things like installed pups. What I'm not entirely clear on is that when you say,
well i checked the settings you suggested and they were already set as such so..both the quit buttons (on the xfce dock and the menu) bring up the xfce session manager...ain`t doin that again so..
ctrl-alt bkspce to a prompt..typed reboot.."saved on top layer"..ect
was that from a fully wobbling environment? And if so how did you get to it if, when you then rebooted, it all went wrong and you had to use the LiveCD in order to get back to a functional desktop. It sounds like the first boot of the day works but subsequent reboots fail? The dump didn't reveal much as it just complained that X hadn't loaded at all
Although you do have the same intel card as a friend of mine's laptop on which I couldn't get wNOP to work, mm I wonder if there is a connection, i'll look into it. Is your laptop VERY new?
Anyway, now for some good news, the Dino comes up to scratch, technically it can run Compiz-Fusion
What seems to be holding it back is the amount of video ram allotted to it. Fortunately you should be able to adjust this in the BIOS. But first try skipping compiz's checks for suffficient video ram to see if that works -- just type:
into the terminal once booted into X..........
