Good news, more stuff for 002:
- New Iceape template with a modified profile - Puppy links in the toolbar, some default settings, a homepage and no Modern theme (1 MB, too much)
- /usr/bin/nicoedit is now a link to /usr/bin/leafpad, for backwards-compatibility (as I did with xarchive and File-Roller)
- New udev 164, compiled from the Debian sources

Stuff already in:
- pupRadio
- The package lists downloader
- Some missing packages (3 if I remember right)

TEH Iguledereh

Seems to be a woof problem with zzz. In quirky-1.4 and Insidious with my 3G modem I have to 'modprobe option' to get the thing loaded. Luci is ok, but things are a little different there :) . NOTE: muggins had the same issue in quirky, see teh blog!

Also having video trouble on this old box (a radeon 9200pro card, not my main box which has nvidia) with mplayer but NOT gnome-mplayer .. yes more weirdness, been that kind of day!

Funny thing.. with luci modem is ok and sound no good, with insidious and quirky it's the other way, sound ok, 3G modem no good

I started to load the openoffice-3.2.1.9502_en.US.pet but the pop-up warned about installing to /mnt/home

BTW: That error message includes a misspelled word.
Always report type of install.
You should know that since Aug 2005.

It's not mine. I found out about it by a thread from the author on the forums which I can't find in my history.

Hi jplit,

That's a strange problem. I guess nobody replied to your first post about it, because it is so uncommon, as far as I know.
Did you try the Mouse/keyboard wizard? ( menu >>setup>>)?
Maybe you'll find your keyboard there, in "advanced xorg keyboard configuration"?
Otherwise you could try menu>>setup>>setup puppy>>wizardwizard>>change the mouse and keyboard >>choose keyboard layout. There you can tick "keyboard has usb interface". Maybe that helps, but I really don't know. My keyboard is usb, and the "keyboard has usb interface" is unticked in my case.
There's always a solution.. :wink:

OK, the good thing is that all your post from 2005 on will reflect FRUGAL again. :wink:
I used the version you reference as a sfs and never had a problem.
In a FRUGAL I avoid to use a pet as it reduces sometimes considerable the save space.

There is a sfs version here
I am not aware that there are specific OOo versions for puppy's.
I didn't have incompatibility issues.

Thanks for that link!

I am trying to switch to SFS versions as quickly as they are made available.

QUESTION: Does the Italian version of OO taste better or is the background music Sinatra? ;-)

I never did put OO in a pizza. Who knows how good it taste with the background music Sinatra.

Insidious Puppy 001

#72 Post by CosmiCat »

Hello everybody, I'm new from Italy.
my PC: ASUS P4 PE -X TE, P4 2,4 GHz, 512MB memory
MATROX G550 32MB monitor PHILIPS 190C
Controller scsi ADAPTEC AVA-2904

I like Dpup and I was very curious about Insidious Puppy. Unfortunately in the boot sequence I was no able to configure the screen resolution (I got only a blank screen with the message "cannot display this video mode) and unlike Dpup, does not even works the boot option command "puppy vga=795" (corresponding to the native resolution of my monitor). The VESA option is useless for me, because I don't need a emergency rescue system. My goal is a fully functional substitute of MS Windows.
I posted this as a test report (if someone is interested)
Sorry for my bad english

p.s. Hi Iguleder, I send you an email one week ago.

I guess you used fbdev and a framebuffer driver - the Matrox one. Insidious doesn't have any framebuffer modules except the generic VESA one and the KMS ones.

Have you tried any other drivers? What is your GPU (brand, model)?

And regarding the email - I received your mail some time ago (I'm pretty sure it's more thana week) but I was too busy to reply (worked and slept 24/7), I apologize for this. And I wish to thank you.

Hi Iguleder
I apologize a lot.
I did not mean to say "Hey, I sent you an email, why don't you answer me?"
I mentioned it because I thought you would recognize me. I'm very sorry, I know you are very busy.

During start up, as well as with many other distros, I'm stuck in xorg wizard panel. When I'm asked to choose the resolution and test it (in this case 1280x1024@60Hz 24bit),
Puppy probes and recognises correctly my video card (Matrox Millennium G550 dual head vga, dvi, with 32m memory)
and uses the right driver (mga) but when I test it I get only a message from the monitor "cannot display this video mode, change resolution".
Lesser resolution or vesa driver works, but being my monitor LCD, resolution other than that native produces poor quality screens. Vesa driver does not use full capability of hardware.
It was what you meant for "have you tried any other drivers"?

Thank you for your attention

No Frugal nor Full instalation.

#75 Post by Tui »

Well things were going well until
I wanted a full install or frugal.

The live CD runs ok! This bit of instruction software
is missing.

So how do I get a full install?

Agere HDA modem

#76 Post by peebee »

Hi Iguleder

First of all many congratulations on Insidious Pup - you've done a great job of which you should be proud - lets hope your Army uses Linux and recognises and harnesses your talents while you are away.

This is just to report that although you very kindly included the drivers for the Agere 11c1:1040 HDA modem in your builds, for some reason they do not load - and strangely they don't seem to leave any error messages anywhere to give clues as to why they are not loading.

i.e. modprobe agrmodem gives no errors but afterwards lsmod shows that agrmodem is not loaded

Many thanks
Peter

I have sound problems in inspu as well,after running okay for hours
the retrovol icon has disappeared from the tray and if I try to run it
from the console it does this:

# retrovol
Segmentation fault
#

from hardinfo:

Operating System
Version
Kernel Linux 2.6.32.26 (i686)
Compiled #2 SMP Tue Nov 23 21:36:48 GMT-8 2010
C Library GNU C Library version 2.11.2 (stable)
Default C Compiler GNU C Compiler version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-8)
Distribution Puppy Linux 0.00

Now if I run the Setup alsa Sound wizard it can't find any supported
sound devices.
And if I let it probe for legacy cards it can't find any of those
either.

Running alsamixer in the console gives this:

# alsamixer
cannot open mixer: Input/output error

Does alsamixer work? I remember I had similar problems with retrovol in the past.

EDIT: here's something I just compiled. This one plus gnome-alsamixer go into 002 :wink:
