This is the weechat irc chat client.
It creates an entry in the Internet section of the puppy menu.

Problem with internet connection

#22 Post by TSK »

Thanks for help, now I did get the FatDog running, but now I have different problem, with network.

How I can load Windows setup? I have student LAN and I think there´s a NAT and that´s probably the reason why auto etho doesn´t work. Which .inf file I have to choose from Windows .inf folder?

Thanks again.

@TSK
Does the Net-Wizard on your FATDOG desktop offer you the solution to remedy?

Jamesbond,

I didn't see that you answered TSKs previous post, I've been out of town using my Blackberry's little screen. I'll have to try unetbootin.

Billtoo,

When I get some time I'll grab your pets and test them out and add them to the repo. Thanks.

WB7ODYFred,

As for the reason for 64bit. Back when I made Fatdog-200, I made a 32bit version and a 64bit version. Both had the exact same packages and I tested on the exact same hardware. Handbrake is about 20% faster in the 64bit version. That's a big difference when your talking about a DVD rip that takes 45-60 minutes. A lot of things you won't see any difference, It depends on if the program your running takes advantage of the CPU's features. I guess the better question would be if you have a 64bit computer, why would you want to run a 32bit os? The only reason I can think of would be to run some 32bit only program. Wine would be a good example of that, but James has put together a couple packages to take care of that. Guys, please don't turn this into a 32bit vs 64bit thread.

I usually use ext3 on a hard drive and I've started using ext4 on flash since it's performance seems very good there. I was using ext4 on hard drives too, but much of it's performance advantages have been lost as bugs have been fixed. That said ether ext3 or ext4 is a fine choice.

Tui,

For the screen resolution problem try Menu - Setup - Xorg Video Wizard and see if that helps. Automatic Xorg setup depends on a monitor that EDID compliant, so ether that's the problem or you may need one of the proprietary video drivers for ATI or Nvidia pet packages.

For the network problem, does the Network wizard show your card?


TSK,

Fatdog64 doesn't auto-connect to anything. Try the network wizard.


Anyone out there using Nvidia graphics? Just wondering how that's going.

Anyone using the Samba-Server to share files?

Fatdog 510 is working well on this little pc.

I have a few other small pets that I've made, a couple of larger ones too, seamonkey 2.0.10 and deadbeef 4.4 music player but they are too large to attach to a message.

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for the new 510, it's fast, stable, and I've observed no problems.

1. If you are using any version of Puppy and want to install >1Gb memory, you should ask your relatives to have the men in white coats call.
2. If you are still buying proprietary scrap off-the-shelf rather than specifying and building your own box, you should ask....
3.If you buy laptops (other than for experimentation)....

Fatdog is quite nice. Thanks kirk.

fatdog pfix=ram doesn't seem to work though. It complains of fd*.sfs not found and drops me to the prompt.

You might want to set the default for "firefox" to not run pets, as it doesn't work(for obvious reasons.)

These pets are a small music player and a terminal emulator.

http://cmus.sourceforge.net/#home <--- for information about cmus
music player.

The number keys 1-7 show different screens with 5 being the browser to
navigate to your music files and 7 shows all the commands.

Mrxvt is a terminal emulator with tabs and transparency and other
options available in the mrxvt menus.

Just been trying Fatdog 510.

Can't seem to connect to the internet. My ethernet card uses the forcedeth driver.

I can see both the ethernet card and the WLAN card. Both acquire a normal valid IP address using the network wizard which show up as usual in ifconfig - but browser won't connect.

Any ideas? Permissions problem?

powerplay

#31 Post by Prospere »

Hello since the Kernel of this release is 2.6.35, I would like to use powerplay for my radeon HD ATI card
but the command

Code: Select all

echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
send me

Code: Select all

bash: /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
Since powerplay is in the Kernel, and not any other where, What happen?

wine sfs - winecfg error

#33 Post by davids45 »

G'day,

Running 510 as a frugal, with the seamonkey pet linking well with my existing profile, bookmarks, address books and email files. So the 64-bit Pup can read the 32-bit data?

I have the 64-bit wine sfs booting at start-up but the winecfg is reporting an error when tried from urxvt:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: Success
The menu entries are in place in /usr/share/applications so the wine sfs seems to load up OK - just won't configure. No .wine directory in /root.

Thanks for any advice.

David S.

For what it's worth I have a similar problem. The network wizard in 510 detects the network and assigns an ip but I can't access the internet. I had no problem with 500 (I'm using it to write this).

Cant connect to Internet
  1. What happens when you "ping yahoo.com"? ...post your ping result
  2. what browser are you using?

gcmartin

#36 Post by gcmartin »

I asked this question earlier and not answered, yet. So, I'm bumping it>

Anyone care to comment on why terminal sessions (Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc.) hang when you try to login? (System is LIveCD)

thanks in advance

Yep, that about sums up the problem. I wonder though if this is a firewall problem. I remember reading in one of the Fatdog64 threads that the firewall software version had been bumped. Could just be that this is the culprit.

Prospere,

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about powerplay. I just googled it and it seems to be part of the ATI proprietary driver, so try the ati-catalyst pet.

ghead, tronkel,

Did you enable the firewall? If not, it's not on by default. Try:

ping google.com

and

ping 208.67.222.222

If you get a reply from pinging google.com all should be well. Delete /root/spot/.mozilla and try Firefox again. If google does not respond, but 208.67.222.222 does reply then your DNS is bad. You can add 208.67.222.222 to /etc/resolv.conf and see if that works. (208.67.222.222 is a public dns) If 208.67.222.222 does not reply then your not getting routed to the internet. Try typing route in a terminal and see what your default gateway is, and then try to ping it. If you can't ping your gateway, ether your gateway address is wrong or your not connected to your network.

gcmartin,

Ctrl-alt-f2 works for me, maybe it's a graphics/KMS problem. I'm using intel graphics right now. I'll try on my ATI box next time I'm on it.

Guys, when I asked about Nvidia before, I wasn't clear. I was wanting to know how Nvidia support was without the Nvidia pet package installed.

kirk,
I told TSK to use Unetbooting because he mentioned installation from Windows7.

ghead, tronkel,
Try this - open terminal and type this there:

Code: Select all

echo "require 006" > /etc/dhcpcd.conf
then re-run network wizard.

Attached is also a fix for /usr/bin/xine.sh (this will enable playing media files in folders whose name contain spaces). Gunzip this in /usr/bin.

Billtoo,
Thanks - thinking to do the elinks myself.

Tui - I'm working on a diagnostic script (this script will collect some hw/setup info) - but that script is not ready yet.

cheers!

David, not sure where you get the 64-bit wine. The only in Fatdog repository is 32-bit wine - it's the one compiled by green_dome (with suitably minor modifications). You need to use the 32-bit compatibility library (fd64-32bit-lib.sfs) to use it.
