Installation problem follow-ups / update:

As advised, I burned a CD and booted with it into wolfe-028. The Wolfe was booted up successfully. From there I chose to save a pupsave file in a sub-folder for Wolfe on harddisk. After quitting Wolfe, the core files from the CD were copied to that sub-folder. This time, I have been able to boot up Wolfe on the harddisk with Grub2.

Thanks, GrumpyWolfe

in /usr/share/applications was three files: logout, reboot and poweroff.
i delete "logout" and "reboot" (not to be found in menu) and i open "poweroff" with Geany.

I switched to:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=xf-shutdown
Icon=system-log-out
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Categories=System;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
Name=Poweroff
Comment=Poweroff the Xfce Desktop

as it was at xfce 4.6.
and it works.
(no with ctrl+alt+backspase ofcourse).

I think I now understand the flash you were talking about and the command in this application you have put in may have a problem for others who are running MyWolfe in pupmode13 for this bypasses the rc script and does not call the save function of puppy script. If I am not wrong. So using this if you do not have a save file already then you will not be asked to create one. It is the time delay that is cousing the flash part. I have the delay set so that xserver is fully exits and rc is able to run.

Howdy again, GrumpyWolfe

Another experiment. Just made another pendrive (Sandisk Cruzer 2 gig).

First uninstalled U3 read only software n pendrive
http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm

Made the pendrive with Unetbootin (linux Version)
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Booted with

Code: Select all

puppy pmedia=usbflash

at the boot screen.

Tried using Puppy Universal installer to install again to the Kingston 2 gig pendrive. Found the mywolfe.sfs but vmlinuz I could not find so I said screw it and instead. I installed grub4dos onto the Sandisk USB to replace Unetbootin bootlooader and am just going to run with that. Rebooted. Works just fine so far. Have not shut down yet and created persoanl save yet though. Wanted to make sure experiment worked fiirst.

Tap Works. Wireless Works. Hardware info below for this Asus EEEPC 701SD

I am thinking of replacing urxvt with something like Sakura or LXterminal because there is no middle button click for pasting on these little netbooks.
That was why I mentioned XFCE Terminal. It is a pain t hit both right and left click at the same time. Ctrl -V pastes the last thing I may have right clicked and copied on a web page.

Not going to do pianobar this time till I hear back from you. Quirks on this machine. Opened System>Pupscan interface Connection. Window opens to big to be usable even if I auto hide top taskar. Using Cntrl+Left Click and pad to drag Window is not moving it up enough either. Just letting you know.

My screen is set with probe>800x480--24 bit color. System>Hardware Info window is OK though. Window manager also opens too big. Also Video Upgrade Wizard. Just posting for info because this is just a experiment on this netbook. I probably won't use this pendrive on this netbook because I can use Puppeee 4.4 which is better suited for this machine. Just wanted to see how it went. Hope you can use the info.

Happy Trails, Rok

hey rokytnji

here you go xfce terminal-0.4.6 but first install Vte-0.24.3 let me know if it works for you

[rokytnji]

hey rokytnji

Downloaded and installed and made launcher in top taskbar. Works when launched. Tried making it transparent in preferences. Did not stick. No biggy though.

Curious as to how you take a screenshot. GrumpyWolfe. I have been using Gimp to take mine. Which is a little convoluted. scrot gives me command not found is why I ask.

Edit. Do you think Jemimahs Frisbee http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472 will work in mywolfe? Sns drops are frequent for me.

[GrumpyWolfe]

Hi rokytnji

Edit. Do you think Jemimahs Frisbee http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472 will work in mywolfe? Sns drops are frequent for me.

I do not know for sure but one thing it does not play well with other internet connection tools so you can not have puppy internet sns config or her Frisbee will fail.

BTW did a fresh frugal install of MyWolfe-028 and installed the faad2-2.7-V3-wolfe.pet and pianobar-2010.11.06-i486.pet and it worked so I do not know why it is not working for you.[/quote]

BTW did a fresh frugal install of MyWolfe-028 and installed the faad2-2.7-V3-wolfe.pet and pianobar-2010.11.06-i486.pet and it worked so I do not know why it is not working for you

Code: Select all

# which faad
/usr/bin/faad
# which pianobar
/usr/local/bin/pianobar
# pianobar
pianobar: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Like I said. I must be special.

[rokytnji]

On a brighter note. I have installed Opera 11.1 snapshot into mywolfe. Posting with it now.

Running it out of /root.

[GrumpyWolfe]

the files you posted show that faad2-2.7-wolfe.pet and not faad2-2.7-wolfe.pet here is the link it has the syslink for the libfaad.so.0 in it

faad2-2.7-V3-wolfe.pet

Sorry just notice that I did not upload try this lib or you can use this command to fix the problem

ln -s /usr/lib/libfaad.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libfaad.so.0 in a terminal window

[rokytnji]

Thanks, GrumpyWolfe. That pet did the trick. Did not use the command because I had uninstalled pianobar and faad figuring I would wait and see what turned up first.

I will be using these posts and pets to see if this fix will work in Big Mikes TLOS Quirky Based Pup also later this weekend. Thanks again GrumpyWolfe.

I have them saved in a Pets Direcory in /root for later. Can transfer via my made USB. Cool beans.

[jim3630]

Thanks for the puppy grumpy. Works well in Lattitude D610. Wlan0 b43 and Eth0 tg3 connect straight away using SNS. Nice looking graphics and desktop first time used xfce. jim

[GrumpyWolfe]

Sorry for slow response working a lot of hours.

jim3630 glad you like it.

rokytnji

You asked about Frisbee well I checked it out and here is what you need to install

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=37704

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=37701

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=37700

And all should go as planed. One thing you need to do is menu/settings/session and startup / Application autostarte add a new startup to the config and point it to the root/startup/Frisbee script in the startup foulder. Uncheck the one for Network applet

[rokytnji]

Thanks GrumpyWolfe. Downloaded. Set it up in Startup Session. Unchecked Network Applet.

Working so far. Will see how it goes. Usually if I was replying to a post or out of browser too long connection would drop and I would go through reconnect sequence. Good Practice for a noob.

Thanks again for being patient and taking the time out for us testers. . Nothing to be sorry about. Real World one must eat and stay warm. Good to hear you have a lot of work also. Mine is picking up also (fixing motorcycles) since the weather warmed up.

Happy Trails, Rok

EditL I can say that Frisbee is working quite nicely. No drops. Survives reboot. Just a 1 day test though.

[rokytnji]

Having everything set up like I wish I just had to show you.

Could not get Opera 11.1 to pick up /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so.
Tried all kinds of combos. Ran opera in /opt. Ran tar from in forum. Ran Opera Snapshot in /root. Stubborn thing would not pick up flash no matter where pointed to in preferences>content>plugin options. Wasted too much time on Opera.

So scrapped that and went with SeaMonkey 2.0.11 tar.bz2 and running it from /opt and flash and my java is picked up. Just using it as a backup browser for Firefox. I always run one backup browser in all my Linux installs.

Using Pup-Shots screenshot utility from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 1aa12925e4 .
Works good and is shorter than using gimp.

[GrumpyWolfe]

I like it and I am glad you enjoy it maybe I will get some time soon to find out why Opera not working \

Enjoy

Moved my pen drive over to Wifes Laptop in Subj. Description.

Booted in My Wolfe ram mode (like running a live CD session)
Probe>Xorg>1280x1024 got me to XFCE. Screen was way dim.
Rebooted (without save) and chose vesa 1280X1024. Screen OK.

I a not going to load correct display driver as this is my wifes laptop and if she knew I was playing with Puppy on her Windows 7 Premium Laptop. She would kill me.

No Tap with touchpad on this model of Acer Laptop either. I mentioned before that tap works on EEEPC though. Like I said just posting info. Wireless works using stock network manager applet. Inxi readout below for showing Hardware Specs.

Sound Works testing sound file in /usr/share/sounds directory using Xine and making sure retroval had mixer sliders turned up. Youtube works with sound also. So anyone with one of these rigs can run MyWolfe pretty well off of USB or Live CD. Just a short test (before my wife comes home).

Don't work too hard Grumpy-Wolfe. Happy Trails, Rok

[GrumpyWolfe]

So rokytnji how would you like to have a way to auto login to painobar. If so then download this file
config-example
and put in the root/.config folder in a folder called painobar. Then open it and change the user name and password. Be sure and delete the # from in front of each of the username and password lines.

Enjoy

[GrumpyWolfe]

Hey rokytnji

here is a pet of Opera 11.01 that so far has worked well on my system flash and all. Try it and let me know if it works for you.
