That HowTo is here, you will probably need actual bash to run it (IIRC Ubuntu defaults to dash, which is of course different) -- <a href="http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67235">http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67235</a> My humblest apologies for not being more active lately, I'm still trying to get that script working, and -- aside from that -- I've been struggling with some IRL stuff, plus my mother's birthday is in less than a week! Worth noting, though -- my most recent attempt was using a USB flash drive... I seem to recall stating that fairly clearly, although I could be wrong as I have not looked back through the comments to check. I can't imagine what the difference would be to the OS... a filesystem is a filesystem is a filesystem -- or so I'd think... Also, again, Precise 5.7.1 is KNOWN WORKING prior to this issue being raised -- as it has an older (pre-0.3.x) version of openchrome. The problems do not start until TahrPup / Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04. I have independently verified, through accident in fact, that this is true of at least two Ubuntu derivatives -- Linux Mint "Rosa" will bring up a desktop using the "vesa" driver, but as left-click crashes and restarts the WM, it's not functional. Linux Lite won't even bring up a desktop; it crashes similar to TahrPup -- black screen, no text -- but I couldn't extract enough useful information out of them to do anything meaningful; their devs don't care to mingle with the common folk (sadly) which means a lot of people are stranded without real answers. The best advice I got was "use this version that's more than one major revision behind" which is, when you think about it, a little daft. I'll retest --again, from flash drive-- later, but I really don't see that being much of a difference from the SD card. Which I still have to order a replacement of... ugh...</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
