Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

In my case its a new external USB floppy drive bought to look at content from c2008 floppies, which have very little on them in most cases, and probably hardly used.

I had a very similar experience last year with a pile of floppies. I recall having to reboot the computer or at least reload the windows manager to get past it, but check for yourself.

I get the same message as soniabu in Boowormpup64_10.3

If you are trying to boot a potentially lower USB stick try adding nousbwait=5 to the linux GRUB line, or even nousbwait=10. Worth a try.

Just checking...
What is your boot script for KLV-Airdale? It will be significantly different from Bookwormpup.

I think its similar to the one at the bottom of this post: viewtopic.php?t=3965

Just tested this on Bookwormpup64_10.0.3. Works well.

Many thanks for this addition. I do not know of another OS where the forum offerings are so varied, useful and helpful, as opposed to just "solving my problem" posts.

The puppy community is a very special, imho.

Have you tried running "eject" (without the quotes) in a terminal ??

I recently used the appimage in Bookwormpup64_10.0.3, found here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

I use the following in a keybinding situation to run a script but it can work elsewhere (in the case below, the script is on the Desktop)
lxterminal --working-directory=/root/Desktop ./yourscript

And you can convert all PNG files to one PDF at once with ImageMagick:
convert "*.{PNG}" -quality 50 FILEOUT.pdf # to remove original PNG file, add: && rm *.PNG

If you only want a simple list of files (output to text file), use the following in a terminal open in the desired directory: ls > file.txt
You can also output to a csv file which can be opened in Libreoffice etc.
