Hi mistfire, Spend some more time on the 2 items you requested information about. Bluetooth: I fear I cannot help you there. I have ubuntu installed in the X101CH netbook, and even ubuntu cannot use bluetooth. looked into this through ubuntu forums, and the way to make it work is replace the wifi mo...

Hi mistfire, used Samsung A6 phone to test MTP. Phone is recognized, popup launched for both camera and mtpdevice. Was able to connect to both after many retries. Camera: shows folder "store00001" and nothing in it when opening the folder. MTPdevice: Shows 2 folders, Card and Phone The Car...

Hi mistfire,

The X101CH has an Atheros AR9285 wireless/Bluetooth chip.
This is recognized (using lspci)
The ATH9K driver is loaded (kernel modules)
But there is no Bluetooth ("no adapters plugged in").

Any tips how I can debug..?

Regards,

Volhout

hi mistfire, It is some time ago since I actively played with X-slack slim. Last one I looked at was R21 I think. Installed R31 on my EEE-PC X101CH and it runs flawless. Used frisbee to connect to wifi (sns does not work well on this EEE-PC). Gnome player works well on this hardware. Playing 720p wi...

Hi Sailor Enceladus, Tried you 5.7.1 on my Asus netbook that has succesfully performed for 5 years on Mick0's Slacko 5.7.0. Had used 5.8.3 for few month, but that was less compatible with my SFS's (complained about missing libes, an libs that where not compiled with GCC 2.13....) Running 5.7.1 now I...

Congratulations to the girl. I am sure she will have lots of fun, and she has a warm and loving grandfather, who will guide her on the way through puppy land. You are soo lucky man.

Yes. Newbies are probably immigrants from Windows; less likely Ubuntu; least likely, some other major distro. They are used to Mommy doing everything. Web-browsers are essential. Time enough for them to 'cut their teeth' on some toy they feel they need enough to do a little work to get. I doubt tha...

Thaks,

@jrb Using your script for feh, a copy is made of the default wallpaper as a background for conky. If you change wallpaper using the menu, default is not updated. So you end up with conky backgound of default wallpaper always. This is something that should change in the wallpaper chooser. Or the feh...

@musher0 your proposal worked, I manually tuned the background color. @jrb modified your script to match my needs, but it took me a while before I understood that feh could not handle svg's..... In the wallpapers there are svg's and jpg's. Downloaded a nice wallpaper in jpg, and am happy... Thnx Vol...

@jrb Your precise booted right to the desktop on the ASUS X101CH. That is unique. Most cases I have to manually direct video to modesetting….. Also on the X101CH shutdown is slow. Cosmetics... trying to to do something about it... will show you once it's done @musher0 Tried your conky and conkyconfi...

Hi jrb, Downloaded the -light version from post #1 Installed on 1Gb USB stick using Rufus Test on HP Probook 4510 (dual core celeron) with 2 Gb RAM -WIFI works (peasywifi) but does not automatically reconnect. -Booted right to the screen (1366x768). -Sound works -Battery works (icons shows level) -U...

Hi mistfire, Audio needs pulseaudio, the HW is intel. Touchpad needs intel synaptic, and uses a Cypress chip. I haven't spend the effort to solve it (I must be capable to do this myself), using PPM. And after that make a custom keyboard layout for chromebooks are missing the function keys F1...F12. ...

Must have been before my time, but I seem to recall there was a puppy Dingo...?

@kirk I have the standard seabios boot on my C720. Not sure what the John Lewis rom will do, but I'll look into that. Looks like John got that in one script for all chromebooks, and then there is not much to choose from... But if I understand correct you also had to split initrd for the C720 peppy. ...

hi fatdog team, Just wanted to inform you that I tried fatdog on an Acer C720 (2955U CPU, 2G ram) and it would not boot. Not enough memory. I used the fatdog 631 with C720 patches for a while on this Acer C720, was curious about the new 800 series. This machine must be too old. Keep up the good work...

Hi mistfire, Tested on Acer C720 (chromebook). - no audio - no touchpad Would have expected this new kernel to support at least the C720 audio. Thats why I tested this one... Touchpad is a tricky one... wifi works (frisbee), keyboard, ext. mouse, battery indicator booted right to the desktop. blueto...

Hi ttuuxxx, Tried your slaxxx iso on an Acer C720. Was under the assumption it would be based on Sailors 5.7.1 (kernel 3.18.117 or so). But uname -r showed it was 3.4.xx So it did not support audio on this platform. And it does not support the touchpad. For the rest it looked familiar, booted right ...

Hi vtpup, What is the problem with gallium OS ? According their website the R11 is well supported.... Or don't you like XFCE ? Last 10 years Intel played nasty games with the linux community. They developped silicon for some markets (tablets, phones) that needed to be cheap, but when these markets d...

Congratulations !! This must be the best looking Puppy ever ! Impressed by the fact that you are able to continue turning a puppy base (*) into a professional product. Even if you don't make a lot of money (at 49.99) it is a professional looking product and commercial. I am not a music producter or ...
