Classic Pup 2.14X -- Updated 2 series
Another (small) problem for us Brits is pressing "U" when selecting the keyboard layout in the xorgwizard brings up Ukrainian in 2.14r/x, rather than UK like other puppies. By gum they call our language difficult?

Hello again ttuuxxx,
I have a swap partition which puts the text outside the box but only when it's turned on & off, I assumed it was text size but of course it's a button thing. Also noticed when clicking 'eject' on the cd button the resulting 'close' button has no white border & with text in purple it's hard to read. Minor details so should be no problem. Font, colours, icons & refresh button a great improvement over the old.

Hi Guys,
I haven't changed any settings so I cannot comment reference UK etc. I don't remember being offered any options except Xorg.
I've tried to get the wireless working. I have discovered from original box the pci card came in, that it uses the Ralink RT2561 chipset.
Now the site says rt61 should work but no joy here, it comes up as rt61 with unknown config.
There also appears to be an actual rt2561 driver as well available.
I've looked elsewhere for the driver but no luck. I've downloaded the driver tar.bz from Ralink but it's a bit confusing as it appears to contain 3 drivers and won't compile properly??

A quick update on what happened when I tried running dejan555's minimal KDE pet (kdelibs4c2a) and your Kommander - compiled I understand in puppy4.12 - in ttuuxx's recently-enhanced series 2 puplet entitled 214X3:-Problem.sh-3.00# ldd kmdr-editor
./kmdr-editor: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/libkommanderwidget.so.0)
./kmdr-editor: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/libkommanderwidgets.so.0)
However I report success in having those puppy4 KDE pets working in puppy 2 by installing a 'bridging' pet from the official puppy 3 repository: - gcc-g++-4.1.2.pet at http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ackages-3/.
I have no idea really why it worked (something to do with g++ and glibc libraries, wish I knew what that meant), or whether it will work with other puppy2's - but I'm confident that this is on the right track for anyone wishing to update their KDE environments in early versions of puppy.
Thanks again for opening that portal in the first place, gposil!

Hi I don't have a swap partition so I can't see what your problem is, I'm just doing everything 100% live, could you please submit an image so I can fix the box size and colour. ThanksOlddogNewtricks wrote:Hello again ttuuxxx,

Thanks ttuuxxx,
I'll download and transfer them to the troublesome computer.
In the meantime I've loaded it onto todays 'skip' find .
A 1400mhz Sempron machine with 512mb ram, soundblaster card, cdrw, 8 usb and a floppy, all in a case, maybe a bit scratched but not badly.
Can't believe someone threw this out
I just added an 80gig disk, monitor, mouse and keyboard and off it went.
Runs 214 perfect, even started up on wireless. I'm using firefox right now, settings are just right. I've been enjoying the news feeds for a while.
I will get the other going though

I think we found a winner!
Screen shot of 2.14x3 with tempestous' eeepc driver patches applied. Posting from this desktop using WPA wireless connection. I rearranged things a little bit for the small screen. This is solid. Thanks ttuuxxx.

Yes, that chipset is definitely supported by the rt61 driver in earlier kernels (later kernels use the rt61pci driver).tasmod wrote:I have discovered from original box the pci card came in, that it uses the Ralink RT2561 chipset.
But Puppy 214R/X already contains the rt61 driver, and it has been successfully used by other forum members. It would be worth doing some diagnosis - you should run this command
Code: Select all
lspci -n
There's unnecessary duplication going on here. As I said, Puppy 214R/X already contains the rt61 driver.ttuuxxx wrote:2009_0123_RT61_Linux_STA_v1.1.2.3-i386.pet
And if you want an updated version of the rt61 driver, the best available is the version from the rt2x00 development project, which I already contributed 4 days ago - rt61-20090412-k2.6.18.1.pet
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 232#316232
The version that ttuuxxx compiled is the proprietary version, upon which the rt2x00 version is based. The rt2x00 version is bugfixed and improved.

Hi tempestuous, I don't use wireless, but I do a have wireless modem, and I configured it not to broadcast wireless, due to the fact that I've networked my house using cat6, Well 4 rooms anyways Anyways when I seen your test you posted, I was wondering what it would show, Could you maybe explain what that output means? So I might get some understanding on the topic. Thanks for your help

About the next release a final though, How much space would you need to have a browser, a mail client and a html editor, without using SeaMonkey?. FireFox is my main browser in Windows and Linux, but how could we keep it in Puppy without losing features that are already present in Seamonkey and using the same or less size?.

Well as that goes, I was thinking that people will not be satisfied with anything I would provide. During 4.2 build when had Seamonkey only no mail, and was using Claws Mail, people complained, Its just that there's so much choice for mail clients, Like Claws, Thunderbird, Seamonkey mail, simple mail, everybody wants a different mail client, I'll leave it up to them, I've already supplied a Full seamonkey package that can add, also I have a complete claws mail package they can add and the latest thunder bird is in the forum, and well simple mail they can download, I might make a installer program that they can click and it will download the package they want, As a wysiwyg editor goes I'll Include a Firefox plugin for one.clarf wrote:Then, We shouldn´t play with it (yet).ttuuxxx wrote:I've also been informed that it will messup petget and other programs that call for that number.

You are right ttuuxxx it´s very hard to please all kind of tastes, then a good (I mean updated, categorized and organized) repository for 2.14x could help. But the maintenance work will be very hard.ttuuxxx wrote:Well as that goes, I was thinking that people will not be satisfied with anything I would provide.

I use thunderbird or Seamonkey for mail, sadly Mozilla foundation don´t update them like FireFox.
Meanwhile the plugin editor sounds good, I never hear of one before apart from kompoze (it was good, although it messed up the html code, damn nothing is perfect...) , I personally use some useful extensions: Tab Scope, english dictionary and extended copy menu. Which ones could be added without increasing Puppy size and which ones are really needed?. (I didn´t take notice of plugin size in firefox before). Again the best option is keep it small and let the final decision to the user...
