I get dumped to the command line when booting grafpup 2.00 in a frugal install. "xwin" gets x up and running ok. The last lines before it stops are:
Patch mode 38 to resolution 1280x800 complete
-sh: /etc/profile: line 184: syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'
-sh: /etc/profile: line 184:' fi'

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Cheers, Mike

Post the contents of /etc/profile (or a good-sized chunk around l.184, at least) - sounds like something in the nature of someone dropping a semi-colon.

Well, i've scrapped the frugal install after it failed with 3 different save files. each time it starts off ok but my the time I have added some settings and a couple of applications, e.g. open office, it all goes wrong again.

I have reinstalled as a type 2 which was fine after I corrected the resolution. Set up the wifi, added the open office dotpup and rebooted. No X . X starts and then exits and I cannot restart it by running xorgwizard/xwin. It just dumps me back to the command line. I have been running puppy and grafpup on this machine for 6 months now and never had this problem before.

Edit - the patch Nathan has just released seems to have fixed this.(See the grafpup news page)

The patch didn't seem to fix it for me, but removing the # from line 183 in /etc/profile seemed to.

My line 183 in /etc/profile is "exec login" with no comment, so I assume if that line was originally commented, the patch must have taken the # off, as I haven't.

That line should only ever be active during the very first boot of the live cd, before a save file has been created. Otherwise the login manager is supposed to be started from /etc/inittab. I'm not sure why it would have remained uncommented in your case, but thingsshould get back to normal if you comment it out.

Hi Nathan, this type2 install is working fine at the moment so I think I will leave that line as it is for now.
Mike

I definitely get the error Mike described, running as root with a frugal install, unless I uncomment that line, so I don't know what's going on. I'll have a look at /etc/inittab.
EDIT
No - I am lost - it clearly has nothing to do with /etc/inittab, and whatever script comments out line 183 should actually comment out that whole if statement. Right? It seems right anyway. Can we please have a fix for whatever script does this please? (I intend to remaster with a whole bunch of fixes and some additional stuff)
BTW could it have something to do with the fact that I never boot from a live cd, I just do a manual frugal install? - I wouldn't have thought that would affect it though.
