4.3.1 Internet connection settings not saved
I had experimented with 430 upgrading a full HDD installation of 421. The LAN connection did not save for the next boot. So far so bad.
Next I did a frugal install of 431RC and the connection settings were saved on the fresh install. Hurray!
BUT...
then I made an executable in /root/startup to have the numlock active at startup.
( #!/bin/sh
numlockx on)
Funny enough this killed the connection settings. As soon as I removed the executable, the settings are saved again for the next boot.
Any idea if this is my doing or a bug?
Thanks guys.

Also posted in Barry's blog but added here for completeness.
4.30 frugal on acer aspire one; upgraded from 4.3 to 4.3.1 using the servicepack .pet
I have 3 ptns on my aspire one 120GB hdd: sda1 ~20GB ext3; sda2 ~10GB ext2 ; sda3 ~83GB ext3
If i mouse-hover over the drive icons on the desktop, sda1 shows as 110.2GB ext2; sda2 as 92.2GB ext3; and sda3 as 9.8GB ext2.
Gparted, parted, Pmount and partview show them "correctly".

Excuse the language but I am using a translator!
I have a problem with puppy linux already present in the version 4.30 network!
I have a Packard Bell Dot S with Atheros 8132 PCI-E Ethernet network adapter. When I try to connect the OS recognizes me automatically atlc1 driver if I am not mistaken. Tells me that all ok is never then when I go to do the car configuration DHCP not detects me suffered the setting the makes only after a little waiting and eventually fails the network! I think it is a bug in the drivers because sometimes obliterated and in the process of recovering the same driver was able to make it work but I cannot now!

Re: burniso2cd can frustrate user verifying disk
Would this also work with previous 4.x versions of Puppy?rerwin wrote: Since this might be considered a long-standing-bug fix, I offer it for the next RC.
Thanks.

Making Multi-session CD
Using 431rc2 frugal in notebook with probable defective hard drive.
I am a newbie forever.
Can make normal .iso CD,s but not multi-session which I need.
Tried: Barry's latest instructions on remastering; Remaster Pup Live CD; Pburn from right click on iso file; Pburn from desktop menu; Burn iso 2CDD
The remastered ones will not even boot.
I ran the others with pfix=ram and "saved to CD", but at reboot, they refused to boot. I tried one twice with pfix=ram and it rebooted ok the first time but refused after I saved the second session.
Incidentally, it seemed that Pburn could not find the iso file until I moved it into home root file.
Don't know if this is a bug in 43x, in my setup, equipment or me.
Puppy is great.

OK Houston, I have a problem, and I've had it since 430 actually, I just always forget to report it, since I'm usually in my 421.. sorry
Whenever trying to play any audio, it turbo-repeats chunks of it, progressing very slowly, and also slows down my USB mouse.
The audio can then be "killed" and dies out eventually (the introductory "Puppy bark" also loops crazily until I close the intro screen), but the mouse remains slow until reboot (restarting X doesn't help). The touchpad is unaffected.
This happens (at least) on my lappy 1.. gonna try to test the other machines soon (sometime tomorrow, I hope).

Any hope for this getting fixed? I like 43x otherwise, it boots faster etc..

Hi Barry.. No luck.. but while at it, I also went blacklisting some other modules later, of which blacklisting b43 resulted in the mouse being slow already on startup.
Incidentally! - I've also been getting a message Disabling IRQ #5 at bootup right after the Loading kernel modules...
I guess this could be related..
I'm attaching the logs now, if it helps any..
GTG now, BB tomorrow-ish..

burniso2cd fix for all Puppy 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3
tlchost, et al,
Regarding the burbiso2cd fix to delay verification for 15 seconds:
Puppy 4.1.2: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 306#352306
Puppy 4.2.1: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 299#352299

Regarding the burbiso2cd fix to delay verification for 15 seconds:
The answer is not simple, which is why it took me so long to respond. The fix provided in this thread is appropriate for all Puppys based on 4.3.0. (It is now built into 4.3.1.) For 4.1.2- and 4.2.1-based puppys I have provided retrofitted versions in the relevant threads for those versions. Here are the links to them:Would this also work with previous 4.x versions of Puppy?

zmixer stuck
I saw this reported as a bug for 4.3.1, but is it one? I only have the problem on one machine.
On my newest machine (Acer Aspire 5315, Intel Celeron) I can't get the sound in to work. Zmixer just won't allow to increase mic in, line in or cd, eventhough in alsamixer it works. On al the other machines I run puppy I didn't have this problem.
If somebody found a solution yet I would be very gratefull I he/she would let me know howto.
And for the rest: Puppy Linux 4.3.1 rocks!
