Problem with SaveFiles

#1721 Post by mikeslr »

Hi pemasu & All,

First off, frisbee working flawlessly using wifi over several reboots.

5X13-reupload does not have a problem creating a SaveFile, nor recognizing the SaveFile created with the initial 5x13, after its name was changed to squeezesave, nor for that matter the squeezesave file created in 5x9. The problem is that when there is a choice of which SaveFiles to use at bootup, or even if there is only the 5x9 SaveFile and the question appears whether to upgrade it to 5x13, the keyboard becomes unresponsive, the system hangs, and the only way to move forward is to pull the plug.
Note my system uses a keyboard plugged into a USB port, but by now that is pretty standard.
This is not a 'deal-breaker' for me. I was just being lazy, trying to avoid having to rebuild my usual system. But I think there may still be some puppians --perhaps with limited computing resources-- who prefer having different SaveFile configurations and choosing which to boot up in accordance with their current needs.
I recall having a similar problem recently, but don't recall which puplet I was testing.

liggiomm and licurl-gnutls

#1722 Post by ciento »

Tried installing qtractor, hydrogen and guitarix2, from .debs,
but hydro needed libcurl-gnutls.so.4 and guitarix2 and
qtractor both needed libgiomm (other main dependencies are likely
met although more may be out there))

neither seems to be an easy dependency to solve.
Not expecting a solution, but mention it in case someone
else has a more mainstream application needing one of those,
and I could get lucky. (I can use those apps elesewhere, so
don't want to waste anyones valuable time.) :wink:

Billtoo. There were more differences than just the conditional checking of new modules location in 3.X kernels.
Have you tested that 0.9 version script in Exprimo. Does it work if you replace that script and reboot and launch cpufreq from menu or from console.
The whole cpufreq is just that script. The other stuff in pet is just for menu entry.

Mikeslr. Thank you of your report. It includes same elements than SoundNICK`s earlier bug reports.
The problem. I use init script from woof. So the bootup recognizing is as Barry K has designed it. The difference and problems probably comes how usb section has been configured in kernel. And what might change the bootup usb detection and loading. It would need recompile....building new puplet...testing....recompiling...etc.
I believe I will let it be at this stage with 2.6.39.4 kernel. My next step will to continue with 3.X kernels.

I copied the script and rebooted, then ran the cpu frequency utiltiy and the k8 option was there, it's working now.

The ati proprietary driver seemed to be working okay yesterday but when I booted up this morning it wasn't working.I reran the installer and rebooted, again it seemed to be working okay but if I log out and run xwin X won't start.If I choose fglrx from the xorgwizard it won't start either.

Billtoo. Thank you of confirmation. I will update to that 0.91 version of cpufreq. It is usable with 3.X kernels also.

About fglrx. That will be tricky. One possible conflict. You can try
#modprobe -r dri radeon and then try to load fglrx kernel module manually also
#modprobe fglrx.

#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
above does not hurt also

Xorgwizard only loads xorg driver fglrx.so (something like that) and there is need for kernel module fglrx also.

I got sidetracked badly today...when I saw announcement in murga-linux about new peazip. So...I downloaded the portable version....hacked somewhat existing launching scripts...created rox right clicks...added mime link to several archive mimes and created a pet of it.
I would call it hole in one peazip-portable-4.4. More mime extensions can be added. There is 130 formats peazip support now...even .pet .deb .rpm and the whole usual set including .iso support.
The pet has also menu entry to launch it from menu > utility > peazip. Or from console with peazip

Five rox right clicks included with proper rox right click implementation. Mime association to 17 mime types. Much more can be added.

Those who didnt know...Peazip has graphical interface.

http://www.peazip.org/peazip-free-archiver.html

http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_pack ... le-4.4.pet

Okay...my package is not exclusively tested. I extracted .pet .zip and tar.gz

Would you put in the newest quick launch 2.5 ?

I've fixed some minor bugs. I'm still working on bacon recorder.

I launched once again PupServer-435 which offers oob filesharing with samba server and cifs mounted shares.
The mount point is /mnt/network/PUPSERVER/usr=root passwd=woofwoof
The space in mount name fools puppy rc.shutdown script.
I tested this: umount -a -t cifs and yes...the umount did work. The cifs-shared folder content vanished.
So...adding this to the /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown script and you get samba shares unmounted when shutting down.
Why to do that. Tubeguy posted that shutting down hangs several minutes when he had connected with pnethood to the PupServer-435. I can confirm that.

Pmusic-2.4.0 with fixed Nad theme...test with wings...all dependencies included. By Zigbert
Xonclock does not appear in e17....until you change the theme....some coder should check the xonclock script in /root/Startup

Psip32-1.3-Exprimo by Smokey01
NoBlankScreen-1.0 by Trio...I need it in competitions
CopyDVD updated to the latest by Smokey01. You need big /mnt/home partition size for tmp creation.
wcpufreq-0.9.1 by Tazoc/01micko ( I suppose) informed and presented by Billtoo
Frisbee scripts and binaries checked through and reorganized.
Rc.shutdown script fix....cifs and smb share with space in share name does not cause hanging anymore. Reported by Tubeguy. Fix came in mind by Gcmartin`s pm post.
Default cpu governors state changed to on demand (with battery) and performance (in ac/dc) in Ppower tray app
Devx sfs fixed from couple of missing symlinks which caused autotools to fail with error
Several other small script and etc fixes...

Sorry about confusion. I did have in sandbox3 the dpup and squeeze named versions. Using FireFTP I did upload that older dpup version. Atm I am uploading the right latest... last night build version.
I am truly sorry of confusion and my mistake.
My brains just didnt notice the difference in version name.
That is the reason Shinobar didnt find my fix and coders didnt find their latest versions of Puppy apps.

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.13

#1738 Post by Billtoo »

I burned the new iso and am running it with a save file.
Sat 4 Feb 2012 Operating System: Dpup Exprimo-5.X.13 Linux 2.6.39
0.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 2400 XT
oem: ATI ATOMBIOS product: M74 01.00

X Server: Xorg Driver: # vesa
X.Org version: 1.7.7
dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (444x277 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes


Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8135
Core 0: 800 1: 800 MHz

No problems,I think doing "aticonfig --initial
--input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf" solved the ati driver problem.

Billtoo. Thank you of your feedback. And thank you of your good how to in Saluki thread of how to install ATI proprietary driver:
Install the devx and kernel source sfs.
Go to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Download the driver for your card.
Open the terminal and run the amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run
driver:
sh amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run

When it is finished do the command:
aticonfig --initial
And maybe this is needed:

Code: Select all

#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

or the whole set:
#modprobe -r dri radeon
#modprobe fglrx.
#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
