That's not my experience :wink: .

I have 3 SD cards, all from PNY.

1 some years old 16GB, the last times formatted with Gparted, I think 3 partitions ext3.

2 new 8GB cards, class 10 with original VFAT.

All 3 are working with my Rasp, one with Debian, one with Arch and one with OpenElec/Raspbmc. I didn't reformat anything, just used dd command.

The last days I was playing with Raspbmc. It was the first time that I've seen 1080p movies on my screen :D (some play smooth, some with glitches and some don't play). By now only mp4 seems to be working. Coverted some mpg movies with Handbrake. Seems to be a good program for this.

I wasted many hours in Arch to mount usb sticks :evil: . I tried 2 different sticks (1 with VFAT and one with ext3) but nothing happend. After many hours I tried a 3rd one (3 ext3 partitions), which worked as expected. Needs more testing, maybe because a passive usb hub?

@Rolf - that's interesting. I'll have to look out for PNY SD cards.

:D

What happened exactly with the USB sticks?

I know that with Arch in the past, I've had to use the "-t" option to specify the filesystem. For instance, a nfts stick mount command might look like this:

Code: Select all

mount -t nfts-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

Good news. 8)
Was sound working too?

dd should indeed - just work - which version of Puppy are you using?

Just about to try Arch again

Been wasting my time ordering a dishwasher and I may have to plant some parsley this afternoon. Which reminds me, we had some parsley were the stems tasted like chilli - for the first time I really think parsley is a good 'erb (I am a chilli addict). Is this normal or is it really old parsley (could be the third year and it only grows for two . . .)?

oops rambling . . . :oops:

OK claws crossed, will report back . . .

@antiloquax
PNY cards were the cheapest ones in the store where I bought them (8Gb class 10, 13.99€). All others were more expensive or were only class 4.

The older one (16GB) I used all the time in my Eee since ~2008 without any problem.

The problem with usb sticks, they were not recognized in /dev/. Plugging in, plugging out, no difference. Nothing like sdXX. Only when I plugged in the 3rd stick, sda, sda1 and so on popped up. I used one usb slot for wireless mouse dongle and the 2nd one for a passive usb hub, where I connected the keyboard and one usb stick. Keyboard was allways working. Power supply, from my Motorola smartphone, output 5.1V, 850mA. Maybe the problem is solved, now I have a wireless Logitech keyboard with touch pad (39.99€) and an active hub..But I've not tested the usb stick because I was busy with Raspbmx :oops: .

@Lobster
Was sound working too?
Yes, with Raspbmx ootb, with Arch when I use modprobe snd_bcm2835. I don't need sudo because I'm allways root (Puppy damaged :lol: ).

Since my Gericom refuses to work, I use older Puppies (too busy to upgrade :oops: ), Slacko 5.3 and Luci-528 without update.
About http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppiArch and JWM:
I think at least xinit is missing. I used the steps given by Tman in his first post, I think it was on page 2 of this thread.

Parsley is very healthy. I use it often but never had the taste of chili. The plant needs 2 years for blooming the first time. Maybe the taste changes after that? Also there are many different sorts of parsley. OK, off topic, but I couldn't resist :oops: .

Thanks for parsley tips. :)

Not having much luck with my new SD card - it could be that I don't unmount (I am just a sloppy end user at heart)

Issue 2 of the excellent Magpi has very detailed SD card set up info
Will try following that . . .

I am having a few problems with Python / Pygame. It was working fine, but then the next time I booted up nothing worked.
I've re-compiled it all and about to try again.

Also I am hoping to compile build mupdf (a fast pdf viewer).

I've been running the RPi through a nice 1080p tv this morning. It looks good.

EDIT
Here's a screen-shot: viewing "PracticalCommonLisp.pdf" with mupdf while I have a little play with hello-world in CommonLisp.

fun!

It's easy to compile zathura and it's very fast.

https://zathura.pwmt.org/

I made a GUI for it using gtkdialog.

Thanks Don. I'll have a go if mupdf doesn't satisfy me!

Check out my ftp site if you want to have a play with:

Is anyone planning or is looking at gtkdialog C source code?
Any tips?

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 684#629684

There is a problem - the 'pull down' menu appears at the base of the program . . .
I will be looking at the code this weekend with Shadow . . .
actually he will be looking at the code and I will be making tea . . .

No promises. Will do what we can . . . :)

Thought it would be nice to have a Life program on the Pi.
I've uploaded the binaries here.

Image of Sap6 Puppi from BarryK

I have changed the icons and JWM theme. Otherwise this is pretty much what boots to the Raspberry Pi powered desktop . . .
USB recognition and many other things awaiting debugging.

Sadly me and Shadow were unable to fix gtkdialog :oops:

:) gosh long time since I used the links browser . . .
Anyway it is working and I am posting from Sap6. The keyboard arrow keys are not working, (something I also noticed in Abiword). So am using the mouse to position the cursor . . .
You also get Geany and leafpad text editors - so that and Rox and a terminal and already feels at home. I may have to change the background image. Oh it may be childish but it makes me feel at home . . . come to think of it I am using a primitive Puppy with a Puppy menu and some of the Puppy programs running on ARM.
I say woof X 2
= woof woof :)

possibly a long shot for a working browser
http://puppylinux.info/topic/create-por ... y-with-cde , guess try the skype there and see first?

then there is also portable opera?

edit : perhaps not, " After receiving the package, the user can
now run those same commands from within
the package on any modern x86-Linux
distro. "

OK had a go with the devx SFS but it crashed out at 40MB download and I am told I have no more room on my 4GB SD card.

Will delete file and see if I still have a working SD image . . .

That would be because you tried to download to the first partition, which is only 64MB.

Yes I am an embarrassment to the kennel. :oops:

The enclosed file is psync which sets the Puppy clock by linking from
time servers on the net.
This is taken straight from Slacko and may be of use. I have not modified.

If the clock is off by a series of hours, in the command line type:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Not tried that in sap6 - but worked in Debian Squeeze and . . .
we probably don't need sudo
