Installed libxss1.0.0 disappears on restart

[dalebednell]

Hi
I have installed libxss1.0.0 in usr/lib and unpacked it but when i restart the computer it's gone again. How can i get puppy 5.256 to remember or to store this file.

What version of Puppy are you using and how do you have it installed.

[dalebednell]

Hi dude
I am using puppy linux 5.256 and i have it installed on an 8gb pen full install not frugal any way.

What procedure did you use to install the file and did you do a search to see if it was still there.
You will have to run ldconfig for it to be recognised.

Just open a terminal by clicking on Console and type in ldconfig.

[dalebednell]

Hi again
Downloaded /libXss-1.0.0.tar.gz extracted to usr/lib and then i unpacked it all worked well untill the next time i used the computer i had to unpack libxss again all works well but puppy doesnt remember it. I tried to idconfig but bash command not found.

The command is ' l ' as in ' lower case L ' for ' Linux Dynamic' loader not i or I.

ldconfig

[dalebednell]

Hi again
"L" ldconfig bash command not found

[Ian]

Did you type in ldconfig

I have problems with your statement 'full install' as this isn't possible on a pen drive.
Can you explain in detail how you did it?

[dalebednell]

Hi Béèm
Well I downloaded from www.diddywahdiddy.net 5.526 iso using unetbootin installed and tried for a couple of days on a 2gb pen then with the install wizard puppy universal installer install to my 8gb pen where i am now does this help to clarify.

The install wizard doesn't permit a FULL install on a pen drive.
So I am pretty sure you have a FRUGAL install, but without a save file.
Hence the install of the lib isn't retained.

[Ian]

When you first shut down a pen drive it asks you if you want to save your settings and gives you the option of creating a save file.

[dalebednell]

Hi
yes when i first shut down i did save all the settings i have a lucid save.2sf

[Béèm]

dalebednell,
So a FRUGAL install after all.
Can you post the contents of /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE and the one of /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG here.

[dalebednell]

Hi
Yes here is the pupstate
PUPMODE=13
PDEV1=''
DEV1FS=''
PUPSFS='sdc1,vfat,/luci_256.sfs'
PUPSAVE='sdc1,vfat,/lucisave-Dale.2fs'
PMEDIA='cd'
#ATADRIVES is all internal ide/pata/sata drives, excluding optical, excluding usb...
ATADRIVES='sda '
#ATAOPTICALDRIVES is list of non-usb optical drives...

LASTUNIONRECORD='lucisave-Dale.2fs luci_256.sfs'

[Béèm]

So you have a save file.
Did you set by accident the save interval to 0 in the Puppy Event Manager?

[dalebednell]

Hi
No i did not save interval 0 in the puppy event manager purpose or otherwise.
What should it be? thx it is set for 30 min's

Then I don't understand why this lib doesn't stick after install.
If you create a text file in /root, put some text in it and save it, is it still there on next boot?

[dalebednell]

Hi
yep when i create a text file and put it in root and reboot it's still there

[Béèm]

hmmm.
Can you issue the command ls /usr/lib -l |grep libXss in a terminal and post the output here.
