Upup Precise 5.3.3.3 with kernel 3.3.2

[rerwin]

pemasu,
I just now received this from peebee:

I noticed in your first diag file that you had ssb blacklisted. But that disappeared in the other diags.
Richard

Thats how Precise came OOTB - I didn't do anything specific to cause that.......nor to un-blacklist it....

Cheers...

I do not see the blacklist-ssb file in the main SFS file. Is there something in precise that creates that /etc/modprobe.d file?

The ssb module should not be blacklisted. It gets loaded very early regardless of the blacklisting. The firmware that did not activate takes care of ssb and its friends. Please avoid forcing that blacklisting. In the diag file peebee sent me, the blacklist file was not present in bootups after the first. So, it may not be as effective as someone intended. Anyway, it should not be there. It would prevent my "firmware" module management logic from operating correctly, so must be resolved. Thanks.
Richard

Upup Precise-5.3.3.3 has been uploaded.

- updated broadcom wl - b43 - b43legacy detection

Broadcom/Dell wireless adapter not detected by Network Wizard on Dell D430 (works fine in Racy 5.3 and latest slacko beta)

Is there any reason why you do not use Frisbee? Precise sort of comes with Frisbee "pre-selected" - you just right click on the wifi aerial in the tray to connect. Could you try it?

Same problem with Frisbee - no wlan0 appears; only eth0 and lo

What mode are you running Precise? If frugal, have you created a savefile and rebooted a couple of times?

Is wlan0 being created? Do you know which driver is being used? (NetWiz will tell you this)? What encryption scheme is being used?

Manual frugal install. Started with no save file, and rebooted 4 times. Still no wlan0 in Frisbee

Could you post the output of lsproc and dmesg? Does dmesg show any errors?

Or pm me the output of pmodemdiag (ignore any error messages it might throw).

lsproc does not exist. I'll PM you the dmesg and pmodemdiag shortly. The only suspicious wireless lines in dmesg are:

Broadcom/Dell wireless adapter not detected by Network Wizard on Dell D430 (works fine in Racy 5.3 and latest slacko beta)

The "updated broadcom detection" may require a second boot-up to have a device be detected by the b43 (open-source) driver. The first boot uses the proprietary (wl) driver if it claims to support a particular device. But sometimes it lies! In that case, an error message is detected and changes are made so that the next boot-up will use b43. So, before concluding that a broadcom wifi device is not detected, try a reboot. If that still fails to detect, then we have a problem to work.
Richard

4 reboots from a clean frugal install. Still no wlan appearing in Frisbee or Network Wizard. I PMed the diagnostic output to peebee. See my post above for a possible dmesg hint.

Thanks

[ 22.556734] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

Found reference for that message in one wl debug thread:

The message about the tainted kernel is nothing to worry about. All it means is that the module is not approved when looked at in the light of licensing etc. Not in terms of its engineering quality.

Hi pemasu,

Impressive! Using the ppm, I installed Xiphos, a heavily gnome based program. It installed perfectly from the ubuntu repositories. This is the only pup that I've been able to install Xiphos in without having some missing dependencies.

Also, your Bibletime implementation that you prepared for Exprimo works fine.

So far Precise is looking great.

Cheers,
Jim

[peebee]

Hi Zekebaby

Many thanks for all your reports (apologies in my haste - should have been lsmod I requested)

I've now confirmed your findings on my laptop.....and

rerwin is now on the case - see: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=258

but there is still a blacklisting mystery to be solved.

Thanks again for your testing
Cheers

Hello, gang.

Still following the news here, but I was side-tracked researching a java/LO problem. Back in a bit.

[musher0]

Precise 5.3.3.3 generally working great on my machine. Geany's editor had sick colours, however (green+turquoise+blue, and pale at that: couldn't read a thing). Doesn't have the same configs as in other Puppies, for some reason.

So replaced geany with my compilation of joe. Phew, I can edit again.
Replaced old urxvt with 2011 edition. Replaced seamonkey with opera.

next item on the list: install the real less, so I can have a real text reader and with benefits.

All the above easy to do, even on a DVD "install". That's Puppy for you.

Also, frisbee needed some convincing to give me a connection. Third time around, he finally gave me what I needed!

Too bad Precise doesn't come with the most recent abiword (9.2) with full set of plugins.

Shutdown routines now ok out of the box. Nice set of gtk & jwm themes. Impressive reduction in sfs size: bravo, pemasu!

BFN.

[James C]

On both my frugal and full installs of Precise I ended up having to use the original Network Wizard to get a connection that would be persistent.
On boot, Frisbee would acquire the connection and immediately drop it (pretty noticeable with the nice dialog boxes). Manually resetting the connection with Frisbee would work.......till a reboot.
SNS wouldn't even make a connection but Network Wizard worked on both installs and is persistent.
Never had this much trouble with my simple wired dsl connection on any Puppy..... Working now though so .......

EDIT:

Disregard all the above-mentioned connection problems...apparently something I installed was interfering with Frisbee ,and the internet connection in general, since deleting the save file and starting fresh solved the problem.
Now to trace the app that caused the problem......

[oui]

as it is not really a matter concerning specially THIS new version .3

I did publish my new comment here:

I test compiled dbus with source I had in script.
# configure the package
./configure $BASE_CONFIGURE_ARGS \

--libexecdir=/usr/lib$LIBDIR_SUFFIX/dbus-1.0 \

And.....this is what I got...after stripping and splitting...
The uploaded pets are just example that the dbus compile did work. I dont recommed to use them....
I dont have intention to compile core packages if there isnt any serious problem with them. I am going to use Precise Pangolin packages with woof download in the future also. If someone finds serious problem and solution to the it...with recompile...please post full story....compiling options in ./configure and what solution you got with it.
It would help my small brains to understand the need to update core packages....

Oh yeah....I do have full less in build but should it be named as less-FULL when the busybox one is not used ?

[pemasu]

I have now played a lot with sns - Frisbee - dhcpcd.

Frisbee uses it`s own patched dhcpcd. The dhcpcd hooks are common...Frisbee ones amongst the original dhcpcd compiled ones.

I have now compiled dhcpcd in Upup Precise which sns uses.
/usr/sbin has the dhcpcd with sns uses.
/usr/local/sbin/dhcpcd has the Frisbee used one...sns does not work with it.

Atm no symlinks so....hopefully no interfering.....

But...if you create wireless profile with Frisbee or with sns they surely interferes each other and leads to non automatically connected wireless connection.

Having several wireless wizards makes things difficult...and I really dont understand all the logics behind sns and Frisbee scripts...in fact quite little of them...they are higher mathematic that I can understand.

I know that Saluki has improved Frisbee...but I dont know if sns works better with it.

I will continue my experiments with time I have....

Hi pemasu:
I just finished going through this thread for the first time. I would like to wish you all the bests with your surgery and job business. I hope everything will go well and you will have a fast recovery.
I will download upop 5.3.3.3 and will be testing it as well.
Good luck!
