Puppeee 4.3X
Picatrix, thanks for letting me know of this problem. I made Pwireless2 be more specific in the later versions due to some combinations of encryption not working, but I looks like I may have overdone it. I'll try scaling it back a little for the next version and see if anyone complains. Please let me know if the problem is fixed when I release the next version.
Vattery icon
(Sniff) My little tray battery icon with the 6.2 pet installed doesn't have lightning on it during charge. (701)
But Jemimah, I still can't figure out where you find the time to "have puppeees" and work as well. Unless there is an overlap there somewhere... Thank you again for all your hard work for the rest of us to play with.

I give it a try within some hour and tell the result.jemimah wrote:Nooby, I presume you put the eee-431.sfs into the /puppy431 directory. Does the same file work from a usb stick?
You could try it without the psubdir parameter.
What filesystem are you using?
What file system? I guess it is ntfs because it is a frugal install.
ok I try without the psub first. Edit that did not work and I took home all the files again and those did not work either.
But making memory stick with those files did work.
I am writing from it now. It says it has chrome in it.
Wired worked out of the box but wireless failed both the internal and the Belkin dongle that I also tested. That one did work last time som month ago.
Back to original text.
Here is how it is just now.

you have a good description on your thread
where do you say how to add your files on a ntfs to a already frugal installation of other Puppies? I will try to add both PupItUp and others to get music synth built in. Lmms and such.
To get the sound of internal speaker I had to use the Retrovol. alsa did not help.

I just installed PCMan file manager on my 1000H, and I had to run fixmenus to get rid of a menu catagory and item the installation created.
After I restarted X, the wireless connection wouldn't acquire the address again.
It went through all the ra0 down/resetting DHCP messages, but never acquired.
I had to open Pwireless2 and hit the Reset DHCP button on the DHCP tab.
My 900 resumed connection all by itself after restarting X.
It's probably not too big a deal, but I thought it was worth a mention.

Nooby, I will test on NTFS. Puppeee has an updated initrd from Quirky; it fixed support for ext4 but I guess it's possible the NTFS support got broken in the process.
Nevermore, please delete /root/.xlockrc and try again. You'll need to have Rox show hidden files to see it so it can be deleted. If it still doesn't work after that, edit /usr/local/apps/Xlock/AppRun and add the line 'set -x' to the top. Then run it from the command line and post the result.
Dougeeebear, the next version of Pwireless2 is going be be a lot smarter about this. I think I've got it good enough that 'nolink' mode can be the default.
Beta 3.5 will have the fixed tray applets, the new Pwireless2, hopefully fixes for Chrome font issues, and whatever else I can think of this weekend.

Does anyone here have a 1001HA? Apparently it has a rt3090 network card that may or may not work with the rt2860 driver. Anyone have it working?

yes that could be why. It looks for an ext version maybe.
I tested the unlocked one and that did not help.
Could I use some other initread then?

Hi jemimah,
Thanks for your advise earlier.
I made a clean install for beta 3.4 but experienced two issues on my eeePC 701.
The Google Chrome does not work smoothly. Trouble resizng and moving the window around the desktop. It keeps sticking to the top left hand corner. Also, the images on the top part disappear.
Most importantly, it does not auto detect my Huawei E1550 3G modem. I have uncommented on the .conf and rule.d files for E1550.
p.s. internal wi-fi works well otherwise the desktop looks good.

Nooby, let me test it first; then I'll let you know what to try.
Coolsun9, I turned off the Jwm borders in Chrome to give you more space. If it's working poorly. Go to Options->Personal Stuff and select 'Use system title bar and borders'. Then restart Chrome and it should work as normal.
Neurino mentioned that he had to manually run 'modprobe option' to load driver to get his Huawei modem to work. You can use the Bootmanager to put "option" on the "add list" so it loads automatically on boot. Give it a try and see if there's an improvement.

The debian wiki has been updated with recent Eee models. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Models. Models supported by Puppeee are pretty much the same as Debian at this point.

The error says.
Searching for Puppy files in computer disk ... eee-431.sfs not found
dropping out ... /bin/sh: Cant access tty Job control turned off
suppose it is like you suggested.
That some script expect that a file is an ext3 file? How can I do anything about it? Okay I have to wait until you load it up on the site then.
But why did nobody else notice this to be a problem? I mean I am a total nobody so the experts should have barked loud at it?
Am I the only person trying to do frugal on a ntfs partition then?
anyway. I maybe have to log out soon it is rather late here.
