Something recently has raised its ugly head again. Live media DVD problem which surfaces after its initial boot and begins when a Save-Session has been completed at Shutdown-Reboot.
This problem that I will describe happened a couple years ago, and has now re-surfaced.
I am posting here for 2 reasons:
- Understanding of what's occurring
- a resolutions that ALL Puppy distro developers can benefit from.
All of us begin from an ISO download. Some/many, will then create a Live media from that download for booting from CD/DVD. Puppy has a great feature where all of yo
ur session's work can be save; either to your HDD/USB or back to your CD/DVD media. This technology works and works well.
In all cases, upon getting a good downloaded ISO, once the ISO is used to create the CD/DVD media, it has booted the PC to the distro's desktop. And, in all cases, assuming the media was created as multi-session, I am able to save the work that I do.
But, there is a minor problem where I need help from this community to address understanding of what's occurring and whether there are steps to resolution.
Problem
As share above, in all cases Puppy is capable of writing to the media it booted from. In some cases, the media cannot be booted after Puppy creates the Live media in the PC/laptop that it was created on.
What makes this dilemma even more difficult is that you can take the problematic media to a different machine and that PC or machine will boot the media.
This leads to the questions:
- Does anyone know why this occurs?
- Has anyone else seen this problem?
- Does anyone know the steps to take to capture data supporting this problem?
- And has anyone know a technique to resolve this?
Additional Information
I have replicated this on a X2 64bit Laptop on the following media used in the onboard DVD burner.
