Hi Jemimah

I know it's not hard to get me confused.......

But grateful if you could clarify - even though k3.2.13 sources are in the repo and the first page mentions pemasu's k3.2.13 pae kernel

Saluki 020 is still using k3.2.8 ..........??

see screenies

Thanks

compiling ati with oficial amd installer
1. get latest amd installer
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
2. Load SFS - Dev & kernel sources (tested with kernel 3.2.8 which is default)
3. Exit to promt
4. sh amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --keep

if compiling fails then
5. cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/
6. patch -p1 < /path/to/patch
7. ./make.sh
8. cd ..
9. ./make_install.sh
10. aticonfig --initial

xwin to load desktop. reboot not required

Tried Saluki under Virtualbox.

Without the Virtualbox Guest Additions it is usable - the only catch is to disable Mouse Integration from the virtual machine dropdown menu.

However the Guest Addition installation fails in a new and unexpected way (with other Puppies it usually complains about not been able to start services, which is fixable, or crashes when trying to start X, which may be fixable or not).

I used Virtualbox 4.10, Saluki 0.20, the 19 devx sfs renamed to 20, and the 3.2.8 kernel sources sfs. I also did all the required preliminary stuff (make oldconfig, create a vboxadd user, etc). Here are the messages generated by the install script.

Hi Jemimah,

I am now in Saluki 020. The keucr module is not loading. I used your instructions from a previous post and used "Configure Kernel Modules" in an attempt to force the module to load. This does not work. The keucr module does not load.

I issued the modprobe keucr command from console followed by lsmod. The keucr module was added to the list.

keucr 47302 0

Saluki still does not recognize the ENE card reader.

[pemasu]

I remember that at the beginning of 3.X kernels...keucr module was dispatched of SD card handling and it was diverted to some ums* modules. And during that process it has been broken at some time. I dont know what is the needed module with 3.2.8 kernel and if everything needed has been included. I havent heard anybody so far got it working with 3.2 kernels with Puppies.
So the status of ums* modules is unknown for me, there has been naming changes during the development, so I dont know the name of them in 3.2.8 kernel.

If somebody wants to dig to the handling...I would appreciate the information.

EDIT. Found this:
CONFIG_USB_ENESTORAGE: USB ENE card reader support
General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_USB_ENESTORAGE has multiple definitions:
USB ENE SM card reader support found in drivers/staging/keucr/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_USB_ENESTORAGE:

prompt: USB ENE SM card reader support
type: tristate
depends on: CONFIG_USB && CONFIG_SCSI && CONFIG_m
defined in drivers/staging/keucr/Kconfig
found in Linux kernels: 3.1–3.3, 3.4-rc+HEAD
modules built: keucr

Help text

Say Y here if you wish to control a ENE SM Card reader. To use SD/MS card, please build driver/usb/storage/ums-eneub6250.ko

This option depends on 'SCSI' support being enabled, but you probably also need 'SCSI device support: SCSI disk support' (BLK_DEV_SD) for most USB storage devices.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called keucr.

Due to my hdd crash. My linux partition is somewhat empty still. I dont have Saluki installed to check the kernel modules content.

Can't get any FlashPlayer, including DaveS' recommendations to work with Opera 11.62?

Thanks a £1m, Dave!
That's what happens when wiping/re-installing!

I'm in the process of testing xfce 4.10.

The new appfinder is indeed a good launchy clone so I can drop rover.

I've been trying for hours to get native drive mounting working - I think I've concluded that udev is broken in some way. The good news is that if udev can be fixed I think udisks will work (with policykit hacked out).

Everything else seems to work ok so far.

Hi,

Could comic book support (.cbz and .cbr files) be enable in Saluki.

Is some extra package necessary or only myme types?
