I don't see a response to this yet.zaivala wrote:I downloaded Wary 5.1.2 a couple days ago, burned it to a CD (my ancient lappy won't boot from USB), and ran it (as a Live CD). It looked pretty good. Did some setup and a couple reboots...
On about the third reboot, and from then on, it boots to a black screen with a mouse X. The mouse works, but there's nothing for it to work on. There is a small icon top left which says I'm connected to the Internet. That's it.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it? I also run MacPup this way and it works great.
I deleted my save file and started over, got the same results. It loads great, I use Puppy Manager to get Firefox 4, Skype, and a couple other programs. Rebooted a couple times, first to save the config, then it said qt needed to load on reboot. Everything was fine at that point, and the boot worked.
On my NEXT boot, and all subsequent boots, I just get the black screen with mouse support (black X marking the mouse, no menus, no icons, and the function keys etc. don't work).
I have not yet downloaded 5.1.3 to see if this behavior repeats -- until I know what's causing it, or whether it has been fixed in 5.1.3, why should I?
