Code: Select all

it's easiest for others to diagnose what went wrong if you copy and paste the terminal command along with the error
then enclose in a code block

</> in the menu bar of the editor above

Please note that mounting is not through terminal. After restarting the Laptop PC, I am able to mount partitions.

I would like to know the reason behind this mischeavous behavior. Is it bleachbit cleaning?

nnriyer, "I would like to know the reason behind this mischeavous behavior. Is it bleachbit cleaning?"

Could be. pup_event_frontend is actually a script in /usr/local/pup_event. But on boot-up/restart a symbolic link is created in tmp. tmp is a TEMPORARY folder designed so that it's content is not preserved. For example, when you execute a Save, all changes to your system are written to your SaveFile/Folder except the contents of tmp. Bleachbit may be wiping it and similar temporary folders automatically.

I don't use bleachbit. Only tried it once, years ago. My flaky memory suggests that it or I configuring it in ignorance wiped something I actually wanted to keep. But it's also possible that I considered it was an unnecessary waste of my time. I run Puppys under PupMode13, see https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 183#p97183. Making use of either Remastering or modifying/creating an adrv and/or ydrv via nicOS-Utility Suite, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 983#p12983 every change made during the last session is wiped on reboot/shutdown and I boot into a pristine system. There is nothing saved other than the datafiles I wanted to save and did; and nothing to clean.

I use portable web-browsers configured to auto-clean on shutdown; but enhanced by addons/extensions for privacy, security and manual cleaning when desired during a session. From time to time I'll modify an adrv.sfs to include an updated and configured web-browser. An adrv.sfs is a READ-ONLY file-system copied into RAM on bootup. So, again nothing to clean. A separate stanza on the boot menu.lst or grub.cfg permits booting PupMode 5 for additional security when desired. Under PupMode 5 after boot-up, no drives or partitions are mounted.

Thank you for the detailed post. You are correct. It seems that "event_frontend" is deleted by bleachbit upon cleaning.
