Puppy 4.3 Final -- bug reports and suggestions
puppylinux widget version display
I was working with an upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.3.0. Pwidgets was included
in 4.2.1, but not in 4.3.0, so I was running pwidgets 2.0.8. The current pwidgets is
version 2.1.0 and it displays the puppy version correctly.

Yes. Almost ready. See -mawebb88 wrote:@ tempestuous
Any chance of the specials you did for Eee PC's for the new kernel?

I am particularly after the ones for the function keys and CPU/fan stuff.

Pupscan lists all devices correctly, but no modules found.rerwin wrote:Iguleder,What does Menu > System > PupScan show for the sound card in the PCI interfaces listing? Do you see anything relevant in the /var/log/messages log?- Sound card is not detected. An onboard Intel HDA, the card is not recognized, snd_hda_intel is not loaded and doesn't exist for some reason.

Re: Missing programs and internet connection
It seems to be similar to one of my problems with 4.30 I've reported above - when I boot from CD and there's just only pupsave-xxx.2fs file on the hard disk, Puppy loads the saved state and finds network devices. Yet, on shutdown, it saves the pup-430.sfs file to hard disk and on the next boot doesn't load any network driver modules and finds no network devices. Deleting the file again helps.Brown Mouse wrote:Yes I fixed my network connection problem by reinstalling.
I'm using the boot from cd method and had Puppy 4.2.1 previously installed as a pupsave file and it didn't like it even after renaming it.
Maybe it's the same for you.I saved a copy of my old 421 file to a flash disc then deleted what was on the hdd,reinstalled 430 and it detects the network card and saves the settings now.
Do you successfully boot from CD repetedly now?
Remasterpup2
I have found a bug or two in /usr/bin/remasterpup2
line 329 should read:
sort -u /tmp/root/.packages/woof-installed-packages > /tmp/woof-installed-packages-tmp
and line 331 :
echo -n "" > /tmp/root/.packages/user-installed-packages
They were both missing the output redirect >

Re: Missing programs and internet connection
I had the same problem in my laptop. Everything worked fine in live CD Boot. Then I created a pupsave and reboot, but Puppy saved pup-430.sfs file on hard disk at second boot (I really hate this behavior, I don't have enough free space for each Puppy in my HD, I always use pupsave and nothing elese), and then I lost network driver modules, lost CPU Frequency scaling modules and lost the battery indicator in Task Bar. I had the same problem even in successive boots.cichlasoma wrote:It seems to be similar to one of my problems with 4.30 I've reported above - when I boot from CD and there's just only pupsave-xxx.2fs file on the hard disk, Puppy loads the saved state and finds network devices.

I could fix it just copying the zp430305.sfs file in the same partition where Puppy previously saved the pup-430.sfs file, It's seems a stupid bug. When Puppy boot and find a pupsave it "always" copy pup-430.sfs but not p430305.sfs in the same pupsave's path, then doesn't search further for zp430305.sfs in media devices and just doesn't load any driver.
Hope you could fix your problem cichlasoma, I'm sure you have to copy zp430305.sfs to HD. Please try and feedback.

The Package Git is broken especially "git pull" dont work !
I was just at the git irc chanell and asked what could be the problem and this was here the answer.

hello to all. can somebody tell me how to resolve this ugly problem here ?/usr/libexec/git-core/git-pull: line 204: exec: git-merge: not found
git: 'pull' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean this?
pull
this here are all files in git-core folder. could it be that something is missed ?

Well, that error message really looks like some busted git installation.
Aw... Seems like they stripped out all direct executables for builtin commands, but didn't note that some scripts need the direct executables for those...
clarf I can confirm that when running with a pup-save file that you need to copy the zp430305.sfs and the pup-430.sfs or you will lose your modules. I have it set up with a pup-save on a usb flash drive with the pup-430.sfs and with out the zp.sfs I had the same problems. With the zp.sfs everything is working fine.

and full iso.
Cd boots fine, but when trying to use it to make a full install,
I get "Error 2, bad file or directory, when rebooting.
The remaster problem seems to be confined to 2.6.30.5 kernel.
Didn't have any problem with 430 2.6.21.7.
Edit:
Tried simple remaster with Ttuuxxxs' latest 430 2.6.30.5 and it had
no problem booting.....obviously not a kernel issue.

RE: autocopy pup....sfs - would it be better to have the install script specify the locations of pupXXX.sfs, zdrv, other sfs files as a boot parameter when it writes the grub menu.lst?
These would be parameters you could change at boot as well.

Re: Besides the Aforementioned Crashing Browsers & Copying RedLi
Hi max, if all those changes were made it wouls save around 1MB compressed, the large iso has 29MB of drivers compressed. I don't think a 99.5 MB full driver release would be possible.Max Headroom wrote:RedLining Blinky Monitor Applet, I was wunderin' when Dingo 4.3, was going on a Diet, Specifically Rationalizing Surplus X Media Players & Rippers, Txt Editors, implementing ttuuxxxs Cut Down Calculator, also I Vaguely Recall Barry K Suggesting a Lighter Weight GParted GUI...

What it should do is run the wizards and only copy the drivers needed , kind of like printing does. Then it wouldn't matter on the size of iso, where it could always retrieve the extra drivers when/if need-be from cd

i try install Puppy430 with frugal on ext2 partition as usual, edit Grub menu.lst and boot my machine, end up with console, when i type "xwin" it back to previous stage. XorgWizard result okay, detect the dispaly well.
My machine okay with older Puppy like 421, 412, and 411.
Any suggestion?

[SOLVED] Pup430 DVD drive mounting & autoplay
Running Pup430 from a bootable USB flashdrive
On a Dell Latitude D610 Laptop with combo CD/DVD read/writer a data DVD opens up gxine & tries to autoplay - I have to mount it by a right-click/Run-Pmount) . Plays normal DVDs beautifully
DVD drive is a TSSTcorp CDRWDVD (Seagate) Rev-DE09 accessed as sr0
On a Dell Dimension 2400 PC with combo CD/DVD read/writer just the opposite - opens all DVDs as data disks - I need 'goggles' dvd player to play a normal DVD.
DVD drive is NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD Rev-103D accessed as sr1 (there is another CD-RW accessed as sr0)
--------------------------------------------------------

The inconsistency has been resolved - when the Dimension 2400 PC's NEC DVD/CD-RW and the other CD-RW were switched to master & slave respectively - the DVD was defined as sr0 and the /dev/dvd link was pointed at sr0. Now the PC plays DVDs via gxine by left-clicking the sr0 icon, and like the Laptop, needs a right-click/pmount to read a data DVDs. This I can live with
