Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

After putting in my Mobile to the USB port I keep being flooded with PupCam and PupMTP pop ups that dont want to disappear.
I killed the pid and ppid and it will keep coming again and again,

Any thoughts ?

Does your USB cable connection was secured and not getting loose? If your want to disable, that just do this command on terminal

 chmod 655 /usr/sbin/pupautodetect 

What version of Puppy???

I get this also in Fossapup64, I ultimately just kill it in the task manager. It's seems like some kind of script loop. I think sometimes I have to restart X.

Code: Select all

 chmod 655 /usr/sbin/pupautodetect 

Thanks I had to remove X all places to get it to work , just U-x didnt do it but yes that is the wind of it .

root# chmod 655 /usr/sbin/pupautodetect 
root# ll $_
-rw-r-xr-x 1 root root 917 Jun 23  2020 /usr/sbin/pupautodetect
root# chmod 444 /usr/sbin/pupautodetect 
root# ll $_
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 917 Jun 23  2020 /usr/sbin/pupautodetect
root# chmod 666 /usr/sbin/pupautodetect

that is the screen shot I attached. It will just keep restarting everytime. I agree it could be a flaky cable out there and yes I am on Fossa 64

I don't think it's a cord issue, it does it for me no matter what phone or cord setup I'm using. It seems to me that once started it just keeps looking for devices and never stops. Restarting X has always turned it off for me, if I remember correctly. I haven't used it in a couple months.

But then I seem to recall that there might be a certain sequence involved in shutting it down that actually works. I'll have to plug in and give it a try and report back.

Actually I mentioned a flaky cable not a bad card. If it doing that with a card than most likely it a bad USB card connection. I am stuck with this longer size cable for my PC connection - looks good from outside but much like hollywood divas its all kinked inside !

Yes I understood. I used the term CORD, rather than cable. sorry for the confusion. I'm saying that I get similar behavior when mounting with PupMTP and PupCamera regardless of the cable or phone. So it's a thing, as they say.

Frankly both of those are not well written nor maintained that I have yet seen.

I use "gmtp" download it with the PPM and it works quickly first time .
I had to edit the start script that loads the PupMTP though to stop it and put gmtp in its place.
Highly recommend gmtp.
If it does the same you can be sure its's your connection.
