Question?

#201 Post by Proudog »

Hi Barry.

I found these two scripts, of which I have these questions about them:

In /usr/sbin/ndiswrapperGUI.sh, Where is the locale file?

In /usr/local/bin/fmradioshell, this points to fmradio, but not is included in puppy.

#202 Post by rerwin »

Attached is a minor correction to pupdial, to retain configuration-file Init statements as edited by users. I have also updated 3G_pupdial-wireless-12 with the fix..

Driver for ess modems!

#205 Post by rerwin »

Much to my surprise, I found a new version of the ess modem driver that required no patching other than Barry's to allow it to configure. Attached are the source, the updated readme file and the modules in a dotpet.

Will the mp4 association bug be fixed any time soon?

Also some ogg videos won't work.

Solved it myself. Downloaded install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz from the Adobe web site and extracted the single file to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Now deezer.com works

success on toshiba E105-S1402

#208 Post by sue »

I'm very happy to report that 4.3-beta2 works on my weird toshiba. (It was a Best Buy deal.)

1. Running Xorg out of the box. woof would also run, but 4.2 was DOA for both Xorg and Xvesa.

2. iwlwifi needed the new intel firmware plus the pupscan-2 pet, as reported by others here and in the blog. The first scan failed, but the second worked. Without pupscan-2, I was seeing "Connection refused."

What a marvelous distro!

Puppy 4.3 Beta 3

#209 Post by James C »

No new thread yet so.......

Already downloaded and did a full hard drive install with 4.3 Beta 3 on my old P3 test box.

Install took the usual 5 minutes, installer detected all of my partitions as well as showing that 476, 412, and 214 X were installed.

Not much testing yet but I haven't noticed any problems yet. It's late here, or early in the AM, will do more testing tomorrow. Am posting from FF 3.5 w/ latest flash.....installed and working fine as well.

Hi

As above - got pup425 beta3 - very nice.

Might be my imagination - but seems even faster than beta2.

Absolutely flies on my old Patriot laptop.
(93mb ram, 1GHz celeron proc. 251 swap partition, manual live frugal on
ext2)

Playing now - all seems very well - report later in new thread.

Very best regards - Ray

4.3beta3 is out!

There's a new forum thread for feedback:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=46502

Please don't post anymore to this beta2 thread if you want to bring anything to my attention, as I probably won't read it.

Rerwin,
Your last two posts, re the pupdial patch and the ess driver, missed out on beta3. But, I won't forget them!

no attn: needed (merely a tardy report)

0) Used the *pup-424.iso.delta to upgrade the earlier puppy-4.3beta1-k2.6.29.6-v423.iso - very quick and the final product md5 matched, used burniso2cd "NORMAL" (no multisession) and the boot liveCD was greencard in burnverify (for a change).

1) pfix=ram at-a-glance 1st impression
Well .. at least one texteditor has linewrap (and how do I toggle autoindent *off* in geany18?).. marble iconsets are fresh and fairly obvious if a bit monochrome :| and they do well enough (test of that is "If I take off the labels will they still tell me who they are?"), the lean is even sort of modern-looking and helps. Omg, the lizardprawn 1117 must have been sitting on a warm rock! A *BIG* THANKS for no more orange twostep on the driveicons. Fonts are still a tad enh as-is. Abi seems decent, really .. maybe a bit ticklish on the ui. Impression is that the response is snappy to the point of getting ahead of itself almost. Very nice. Alsa is good to go right off the bat (or at least the trash barks) on my card .. aqualung seems oki for d'n'd of local jams .. I miss sgmix on rclick. jwm looks nice updated :) and thememaker a plus (but setting for 3 virtual desks gives the old "config corrupt, keeping original" nonsense) gxine gives same old initial 'warning' (cddb as default) for me, but respects no-goom pref if set.. not sure what's up with initial flickers while pcd is playing (does a good job after it settles). Hah, it took awhile but finally freemem took off, eh; Pfind a trifle :?, but does better than zfind at the 'dummies' search (type&enterkey) - it may need a minor tweak (no Fotoxx for view image in p424, but I see that's been fixed for next edition).
The 3 main gui text apps are fine but really .. leafpad is missed! Geany and Abi' are overkill imo for readmes and Nico doesn't wrap afaict.

2) ..moving on
'Most all added apps work well (leafpad816, zedit22, xpad214, medit94, teagtk1766, threw in nano2110 just to see and it seems good to go also - lol, I like variety in texteditors .. a few others like gqview204, htop81, sgmixer03, treesize541) out-of-box. Of course Blackbox, Openbox (newer set) and a 'short' kcompmgr for jwm-beta along with plogout switcher. Audacious132 works well for me. wbar133 and conky170 needed a few minor libs. synth's new opera10 final I gave up on (had to start it directly from Rox and startopera didn't have the 'boss-dock') .. went back to the tried and true (for me) Opera 10alpha. 10 final seems pretty cool, but if it's a hassle to load, dock or make an 'open with' it's of limited usefulness to me (and PPM failed miserably at 'uninstalling' it, but simple enough to do manually).
Alsa loaded SB0350 soundcard fine on initial boot, but pulled an old usb headset as '1st device found' on the next boot (no biggie to blacklist that for pup, I use it sometimes in win32).

3) ..well-behaved
Responds well and no real noticeable showstopper bugs from my limited use - Pcur was a trifle odd but finally picked up Neutral_Plus_Inv (should "default" be listed?). User customizations seem mostly stable (trimming/editing menus, icons, etc). Occasionally the boot 'searching for puppy files' doesn't pick up on the pupsave-p424.2fs and load it prior to the pup-424.sfs on thumb (easy enough to bang the case button and it usually boots fine the next time).

Recognizing second HDD

#215 Post by shinobar »

as for 2 or more HDD:
  1. some partitions on the second HDD cannot be seen at the first time.
  2. once start up pmount, it cannot detect the partitions.
  3. close pmount without any change.
  4. restart X, then appear all partitions.
i do no know why.
this appears with 4.3beta2 and beta3.
no problem with 4.3beta1, it finds all partitions from the begining.

4.3final will be released at the end of this week.

For 4.3beta3, the 'zdrv' is named 'zp425305.sfs'

Note that there is a bug, I have reported on my blog. The first time that Puppy boots with the 'zdrv' at /mnt/home, 'demod' is supposed to run, but it doesn't. Therefore, you have to run it manually, then reboot.
...this is fixed in the final.
