EFI BOOTING CONFIG
the efi image is no longer a image once its DDed on to read write media. We can edit it easy as a user since it looks and acts like any other FAT formated partition. If the grub.efi was moved to exist ONLY in EFI. Then it should find it and use it.
Matter of fact would like to thicken the EFI partition with almost the rest of files to make it easier to change more.
Of THE TWO 64bit computers the icon problem only occur in Nvidia one. ATI one has not had a problem.
Changing to modesetting with Nvidia fixed icon issue and smoothed out CPU spikes. IE made HD video playback better but not as good as proprietary drivers.

Re: SAMBA4 idea which may be of benefit to this thread's project
Ok, so I tried to build samba-4.13, with a modified SlackBuild script... all the objects compiled but it failed at the linker stage , sorry didn't save the error but it was suggested to use -fPIC, which was already part of the CFLAGS.gcmartin wrote:Thank you @Jamesbond for your response.I am NOT sure if this will help or not, as I would understand if this were not, BUT, I think @01Micko has a good brand for something extremely simple, if you find value.JamesBond wrote:Samba4 is indeed smaller thatn samba3. Why it isn't there is because we haven't gotten around to do it. Plus - to do proper package, you don't just compile the stuff. You need to provide a reasonable configuration that works out of the box; create a Fatdog/puppy-specific startup files; and then test it to make sure that it works. For a large and complicated package like samba, this takes time.

I tried, however I can try again and supply full log of failure if interested.
PS: ads was disabled after first failure, not truly important IMHO.. anyone going to be using FD as a production server of a windows enterprise network?

SAMBA4
I have no current plans but do understand the steps to accomplish, particularly with the SAMBA developments' rewrite to not only improve overall performance, but to also advanced Linux with SAMBA4 to an equivalent of a MS Server. Should this be desired, I will assist as much as possible to help anyone else who thinks that this would benefit the community.... anyone going to be using FD as a production server of a windows enterprise network?
What I expect to do is to show how to use SAMBA4 to provide document, file, and media services as I have in the past. This time around, additionally, I may consider a separate document on how to setup SAMBA4 in the desktop to provide NAS functionality to the many LAN devices most of us have today. A simple to use document, coupled with the excellent startup utility, coupled with easy to use document to guide (maybe a PUP video) serves to make PUPs as simple to implement as have been seen in other OSes and Linux distro. (Actually, this Puppy implementation is much, much better in understanding for everyone who uses it.)
Hope this helps
I found that a mistake configuring sound causes a hidden crash in the sound sub area. So even if you use the tools to pick the right setting after a bad choice the newest settings does not undue the damage caused by bad settings... Reboot between attempts til correct sound is achieved the first time after booting.
Yes, that's what I find too. Another suggestion from kirk:Ted Dog wrote:Of THE TWO 64bit computers the icon problem only occur in Nvidia one. ATI one has not had a problem.
a) delete /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-noaccel.conf
b) delete /usr/X11R7/lib64/vdpau
There may be a problem with savefile on usb. What's the video card on your laptop?irishrm wrote:Installed on usb and used on laptop with i5 processor with 4 gig ram.
Installed fine but experiencing 100% cpu spikes plus shockwave crashes in both seamonkey and chrome.
Rc2 not usable for me, hoping for better result with next release.

I don't have LS120 but I do have floppy drive and I will see if the problem happens here too.Sage wrote:Why does my LS120/fd0 icon keep flashing?!
Did you try to multiple soundcard wizard from control panel?Sage wrote:Sound issue just popped up - ie none. Twiddled all the usual knobs and dials - silence. Think it's a SiS chipset? check tomorrow.
What exactly did you do to make the crash?Ted Dog wrote:I found that a mistake configuring sound causes a hidden crash in the sound sub area.

@Kirk
I cannot find this utility anywhere in FD6xx. Is it still OOTB in the system? Curious.

Thanks, TD & jb. Working on it (testingwise, that is). Very few have LS120 - it was a great concept, FDD backwards compatible, and not tainted by the IOmega yankee money-making bug! There was an LS-240 but I never saw them. Rather slow in Linux and smallish by present yardstick, but infinitely more reliable than CD/DVD/BRay/Flashdrive.
Sound update: only one card (onboard) SI7021, correctly identified. Set all the Alsa controls correctly - no sound.
PPM says it cannot find FlashPlayer? Odd! Essential for UK residents, probably rather more.
Is it me?! Suddenly all my favourite Puppies are misbehaving:
- sound, FP, icon-flashing, eject +sudden retraction of sr0 on FD360
- no poweroff, strange video effects like pink bars on some icons/menu items on Slacko5.6.5
- no X-vid with XP-cpu on X-Slacko
- Q6, well we all know about that one!

video on bottom of page.. I have a green house and wondered if just the top part was needed. since the plants are on stands with an Isle down the middle. My ground is good for growing so I have this idea years ago.
oh that is the video that caused a problem mp4 version. sorry about the extra non Fatdog64 info

I compiled xfce4 4.10, it works pretty well but it won't shutdown or
reboot properly, the only command that's not grayed out is logout.

Logout gets to the prompt and poweroff or reboot work from there.Sage wrote:- exactly the same with Slacko. All my other Xfce distros close and reboot properly.it won't shutdown or

Did you check CTRL-ALT-BKSPCE? That should give you the prompt. But poweroff and shutdown only get halfway from there, at best!
So fast and beautiful.... A big step for mankind if you ask me...
Until you install something. Then the YEAAH goes a bit more like hmmm...
Why in the world are the repo pointing to Ibiblio and not a mirror that gives top speed for downloads of software like NLUUG?
Ibiblio turned their bandwidth down to 1990's level a few years ago and is like "the download site that is stuck in glue".
This is a issue that really annoys me, as I do not believe people would understand WHY they should change the Repository, as most folks dont even know what the word even means.
So the default repo should be the fastest one and not the slowest.
That would give the great first impression that FATDOG deserves and not the opposite.
I see complaints about the ibiblio site everywhere on the forum.
Another option is to have or not have ibiblio as deafult and change the name "Choose Repository" into "Choose Download speed" as that makes more sense to the average Joe.
Just a idea...
Anyhow the RC2 comes up fast and beautiful on my ASUS U36 and it is hereby by primary OS...

Ted Dog, can't reproduce your issue ... how is your setup, do you use HDMI or anything? If you do, please disable "shared access" (dmix), sometimes it interferes with that.
Billtoo, you need to configure the actions of Xfce panel to this:
- logout mapped to "wmexit logout"
- reboot mapped to "wmexit reboot" or "wmreboot" or "reboot"
- shutdown mapped to "wmexit reboot" or "wmreboot" or "reboot"
I compiled Xfce once but didn't bother to investigate where to make the changes so I can't advise you. Kirk probably can - he spent more time to get Xfce to work before. Or may be there is some config file or startup file which you can change, without having to recompile the whole thing.
Sage, rcrsn51, I can't reproduce your problem here. Booting clean frugal install on nvidia desktop with floppy drive (with precaution said on the second post - deleted /etc/nouveau-noaccel and deleted /usr/X11R7/lib64/vdpau), I got the drive icons lined up correctly on the first try. My floppy drive icon also isn't constantly blinking.
Please do this - open terminal, and then type "udevadm monitor". Tell me what you see there. For rcrsn51, are you sure you don't have any leftover files in your save file (especially /etc/X11/xinitrc - this file gets updated in rc2).
Atle, thanks for the suggestion (and the compliment ). One of the reason why we go with ibiblio as the primary mirror is - because it is the primary source. All uploads goes there first. It may take one to two days to ibiblio to sync with the mirrors. But your concern is a valid one - ibiblio is also slow here. Let me discuss this with kirk.
