See your blog....can you guys who have the problem please run 'pupradio' from a terminal and post the messages?
I was told by one of the developers of a major distro (so long ago I forget who/which) that Linux ignores all BIOS instructions after boot up. Notwithstanding, as an arch-fiddler, I am in the habit of regular BIOS updating, even on dinosaur boards if the files are still available.The kernel is configured not to use acpi for any BIOS dated prior to January 2001.

Touchpad problems. Slow movements is easily fixed by tweaking xorg.conf but to enable touchpad tabbing I havent found any solution. Clicking enabled from mouse config does not have any effect. I have tried adding rows to xorg.conf suggested by google searching but no effect. Does anybody have working solution ?
What is "touchpad tabbing"? You don't mean "touchpad tapping"?pemasu wrote:Touchpad tabbing. I got it working. I have included my working xorg.conf attachment.
I made changes to Section "ServerLayout":And to Section "InputDevice", Identifier "Synaptics Mouse" I added two rows:Code: Select all
InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse" "SendCoreEvents"
If you need to use modified xorg.conf, backup it, because you lose changes if you run xorgwizard.Code: Select all
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "TapButton1" "1"
Those fixes shown above, do you think it would do any harm if I made Xorg Wizard automatically insert them for every case? Even for people who don't have a synaptics touchpad?

Well, it would be pretty easy to get the Xorg Wizard to automatically insert that every time. Any reason why it shouldn't be done for every case? ...the less question boxes that popup in Xorg Wizard, the better.stu90 wrote:Did you have the same problem with no scolling on the touchpad aswell?pemasu wrote:Touchpad tabbing.

I didn't need to add "SendCoreEvents" just adding below to Section "InputDevice" works to get both double tap and scroll working for me.

Yeah, there is something wrong there. tmp/versioncleanup does appear somewhere I think, try looking in /initrdcapoverde wrote:Went to /tmp/versioncleanup, as suggested at boot time, to see if anything could be taken back -- well, either I'm getting duller than I thought or there's really no such directory, even Pfind couldn't spot it. No big loss for me (had just been playing around a bit with Quirky), but possibly worth reporting: guess this directory should exist anyway, even if empty.
I need to examine the 'init' script, try and figure out where that is going wrong.

Re: problem and solution for puppyinstaller script
Ok, I have put those changes into 'puppyinstaller' script.EdV wrote:Greetings folks!
I had a problem with the puppyinstaller script failing on my "unique" partitioned hard drives. Many debugging statements later, I was able to isolate the issue: identifying partition filesystem types and determining if an older version of puppy was installed on it.
I provided more detailed information to Barry along with the offer to provide my solution and debug output. He requested I post my script changes here as he is montoring this thread more closely...
1. On line 41 starts the function fsfunc() which takes the extracted filesystem type and changes it to a different character case if recognized (maybe for presentation but not really sure why). I changed this function to return the character case change if recognized (current behavior) and return null/empty string if unrecognized (new behavior).
OLD CODE:
fsfunc() #f.s. type param passed in
{
FSTYPE="$1"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "Ext2" ] && FSTYPE="ext2"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "ReiserFS" ] && FSTYPE="reiserfs"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "Ext3" ] && FSTYPE="ext3"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "Ext4" ] && FSTYPE="ext4" #v423 kirk: ext4 support.
[ "$FSTYPE" = "FAT16" ] && FSTYPE="vfat"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "FAT32" ] && FSTYPE="vfat"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "NTFS" ] && FSTYPE="ntfs"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "ISO9660" ] && FSTYPE="iso9660"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "JFS" ] && FSTYPE="jfs"
[ "$FSTYPE" = "XFS" ] && FSTYPE="xfs"
}
NEW CODE:
fsfunc() { #f.s. type param passed in
# 100320 EdV: changed func to provide FSTYPE only when recognized
# - but is it really needed just to change the case?
case $1 in
"Ext2" ) FSTYPE="ext2";;
"ReiserFS" ) FSTYPE="reiserfs";;
"Ext3" ) FSTYPE="ext3";;
"Ext4" ) FSTYPE="ext4";; #v423 kirk: ext4 support.
"FAT16" ) FSTYPE="vfat";;
"FAT32" ) FSTYPE="vfat";;
"NTFS" ) FSTYPE="ntfs";;
"ISO9660" ) FSTYPE="iso9660";;
"JFS" )FSTYPE="jfs";;
"XFS" ) FSTYPE="xfs";;
* ) FSTYPE="";;
esac
}
2. At line 388, I inserted a simple if-then check for the filesystem type, which prevents the script from checking for an older version of Puppy on unrecognized filesystem type partions.
OLD CODE:
if [ "$PARTITIONFS" ];then
fsfunc $PARTITIONFS #sets FSTYPE.
#find out if partition has puppy, or has ${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-xxx.sfs file...
PUPINST=""
ispupfunc $FSTYPE ${DRVSEL}${PARTNUM} #returns PUPVEROLD
[ $? -ne 0 ] && PUPINST=", Puppy version $PUPVEROLD installed"
echo "${DRVSEL}${PARTNUM}: ${FSTYPE}, size ${PARTSIZE}${PUPINST}" >> /tmp/pidrvmsg.txt
fi
NEW CODE:
if [ "$PARTITIONFS" ];then
fsfunc $PARTITIONFS #sets FSTYPE.
#find out if partition has puppy, or has ${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-xxx.sfs file...
if [ "$FSTYPE" ]; then
# 100320 EdV: added FSTYPE test before bothering with checking for installed puppy
PUPINST=""
ispupfunc $FSTYPE ${DRVSEL}${PARTNUM} #returns PUPVEROLD
[ $? -ne 0 ] && PUPINST=", Puppy version $PUPVEROLD installed"
echo "${DRVSEL}${PARTNUM}: ${FSTYPE}, size ${PARTSIZE}${PUPINST}" >> /tmp/pidrvmsg.txt
fi
fi
These two changes allowed me to use the puppyinstaller script on all my "unique" partition systems without problem

And to Section "InputDevice", Identifier "Synaptics Mouse" I added two rows:
It worked without those addings.Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
These addings to xorg.conf would be helpful. People have asked same questions at Lucid Puppy thread also.

resolution modes detected
Hello,
Testing out Quircky 18.
Found this:
1. Wanted to set a resolution of 1360x768 which i know the screen + the graphics card supports.
but that option was not available in the xorgwizard.
its a manual hack to fix in the xorg.conf i guess?
2. Also tested to turn the screen to portait mode (9:16) but that did turn the screen black..
Anyone got a clue to the above.. ?
Best regards,
JOHan

Barry,
I think you should consider adding Flsynclient for touchpad configuration. It's a GUI that supports the majority of options that the synaptics driver has. It doesn't mess with your xorg.conf either, it just adds a script to your startup that configures your touchpad settings.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=48011
It's just a frontend for the synclient that comes with Xorg. Probably something smaller could be written that doesn't link against FLTK.

Save file types issue
Altho I did a first boot with pfix=ram and selected to save to 3fs, IMHO, this stil doesn't work at the next boot.
as it is mounted as ext2 in my case.
I still think the init script in initrd.gz has to be adapted as well.
Three statements to change from ext2 to ext3.

It appears to me that the PUPSTATE is indicating is that your installation is on an ext2 partition. This is what my PUPSTATE indicates for an installation on an ext4 partition.Console output for "mount" command is:

Hi all,
Whilst waiting for Wary (I thought I would have xorg problems with Quirky 018/Samsung x05 laptop ) I downloaded the Q013_Q018 diff file and made an Q018 iso. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised to see the desktop come up. I thought I had selected the i810 driver during set up but report-video say that I have the VESA driver?

I terminated mplayer after 30 seconds and no sound with control C. I am posting this with Quirky 018. I do like it. If someone can suggest another mms stream, I will try it out to make sure it is not a problem with the source. Thanks for any help.

I terminated mplayer after 30 seconds and no sound with control C. I am posting this with Quirky 018. I do like it. If someone can suggest another mms stream, I will try it out to make sure it is not a problem with the source. Thanks for any help.

Here's a mms test sample:
http://itc.virginia.edu/network/audio-s ... ounds.html
With my 4.3.1 or 4.1.2 installs in which I have mms enabled in
seamonkey it works.
With Quirky I just get "mms is not a registered protocol".
Same for any video mms streams at this site:

The kernel is configured not to use acpi for any BIOS dated prior to January 2001. Which might account for your problem.
Quirky018 with acpi=force -- shutdown ok
Puppy431 with acpi=force -- shutdown ok
Since the last date I found for the BIOS is 1998, problem solved.
Does anyone know what utility Barry is referring to, that will display all sorts of info about the BIOS?
Edit: A bit of websearch and I found it:
biosdecode lead to dmidecode,
and now I know the BIOS date 1999-06-01
Ndiswrapper problems
Barry
The Netgear WG111T usb dongle has worked using ndiswrapper on every pre 4 series pup that I've tried. Used it a lot on 214R and 3.01 (several varieties), and currently on 214X. I think I also got it to work with MeanPup (2.02) as well.
As I mentioned before, if I boot a fresh boot (manual frugal) and use SNS, I get the following:
ERROR: Windows driver does not seem to work, it has been uninstalled
If I try Dougal's nettwork wizard I get;
netwg11t: driver installed
device (1385:4251) present
Nothing happens after this. Looked in Process Manager and connectwizard is still running (two instances) as is net-setup.sh (twice)and connectwizard_2nd
I tried running modprobe ndiswrapper in a terminal, and it just hangs, so maybe the problem lies here.
If I save and reboot, then try the network wizard again, I get;
Loading ndiswrapper failed with the following message:
Maybe try a different driver
Strange thing is I did get it to work the once, but nothing worked after a reboot.
I use WPA-PSK. The router was supplied by my employers, and is set up that way, so can't change it (use it with XP laptop).
Also, it has a hidden ESSID. Your SNS does not seem to prompt for this, so if could not connect anyway.
Usually with 4 series and later, I need Pwireless2 to get a WPA connection.
I have attached the message log from /var/log. Yep, there are plenty of errors showing up.
