Re: Broadcom-STA wl driver for mage2

#121 Post by peebee »

peebee wrote:Here is the Broadcom proprietary wl driver compiled for k3.3.6 and mage2.

To install you need to first load the small delta pet followed by the multi-kernel pet from this download.

A reboot is needed to activate the new driver.

The multi-kernel pet contains the logic developed by rerwin to choose the correct broadcom driver for the various types of broadcom wifi hardware.

The background to this driver can be found in this post

Cheers
peebee
An update of the delta pet needed to install the Broadcom WL wifi driver onto the new version of Mage2 with its updated kernel can be found at:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 5&start=14

Please install as described above.

Cheers

Tested on Core5, works fine, but:

* gThumb installs but fails to launch.

* ffmpeg is old, use the latest BUILD of 0.11 (many bug fixes since 0.11.1, but no 0.11.2 release yet)

* unfortunately can't find Chrome Browser

Thanks feelsub for your report,

With gThumb, try starting it in a Terminal Window, it may need an extra library or three not already installed and it should tell you, use the puppy 'check dependancies of installed package' to find which. Not having used it, can you give a report on it please as others may be interested?

The ffmpeg is the current one for Mageia 2, if you want/need a later one check the updates areas for a later one, however we are working on Mageia 3 at the moment which has 11.1 but the size has increased considerably between 10 and 11, you may need to compile your own if you need it specifically for mage2.

The Chrome Browser can be found under core updates as 'chromium-browser' although they are working on the Open-chrome project so that should appear soon. It's not a small package though!

I saw for Mageia 3, so I'll wait for new build.
but the size has increased considerably between 10 and 11
Could be(nothing in comparison to a LibreOffice), V11 supports new codecs including for 1st time WMA Lossless.

feelsub, the mage2 release will be mageia 2 compatable, not mageia 3 compatable.

Mageia 3 has a LOT of system and package location and version changes in it plus quite a few 'puppy system packages' won't be useable. It's first alpha is only appearing to the testers next month, release is next christmas or so away. From what i'm dealing with and reading, it may never become a puppy source for general use, so don't hold your breath for an alpha, as there will be quite a pet build requirement to deal with first.

I will be working on my qtpuppy after getting the mage2 release out and only return to trying to start to formulate a Mage3 packageset when mageia 3 is in beta.

UPDATE: 30Aug 2012
There will be a second Beta needed, due to some problems found to have sources from within the 3.3.6 Kernel. The new one will use 3.3.8 Kernel which has these problems fixed and be out hopefully next week. Sorry folks.

had a 'little' corruption problem on my development partition, will have to rebuild it after moving packages and sources off so will be a few days late with the 3.3.8 kernel beta for mage2. Will try for a beta 1.9.95 next weekend.

Mage2 1.9.95 with 3.3.8 Kernel

#127 Post by scsijon »

The beta has been uploaded for testing. See page1.

Please note that the only differance between this and the 1.1.90 is the kernel, however a number of problems that were kernel related have already disapeared and marked as fixed on my list.

Peebee's Broadcom patch has yet to be built for this kernel and he will add a link in this thread when it's done.

Mplayer is out of the build due to conflicts with the differant back ends between puppy's and Mageia's. If someone wants to take on the project of building a compatable one, feel free.

The only 'nusance' problem I have still is 'Desktop Icon Switcher' not displaying the various icons, even though they are in the /tmp directory and it does switch the sets corectly! I suspect this is a gtk/gdk problem between the mixed set necessary for Mage2 to work. I have it in my fix list for qtpuppy, but don't intend to do anything further in mage2 about it.

Unless any serious problems appear the Mage2-2.0.0 Release will be out on the 21st of September, with a fix period until the end of the month.

Then finally I shall be working on qtpuppy!

For those wondering about and considering Mage3, with the number of changes in Build Structure, File Locations, Updates, and Formats they are working on I an not sure it will happen. It certainly won't be this year I start on it anyway, if we can ever do it. It will need most of the packages in our part of the build to be recompiled at least, if not replaced.

The delta pet for Mage2 1.9.95 with k3.3.8 has now been built and is available from:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 5&start=14

This is a delta pet which allows the multi-kernel pet in the same thread at post #1 to work on many different kernels.

I've tested it on my relatively well-behaved Broadcom wifi using wpa2 encryption on my HP550 laptop and all seems OK.

Hi, I've just downloaded Mage 1.95 and am posting from it now. Unfortunately it isn't going well.

Three times Abiword's crashed on me now, once when pasting a URL into a document there, once when spell checking and once when trying to save a document. Sorry, but I rate it as unusable on my machine as things stand.

hi CP, can you attach the /tmp/xerrs.log for your system from after youve had a crash please, it may give me an idea of the cause as your the only one with this problem so far.

Thanks

PupRadio doesn't launch.....

Code: Select all

# pupradio
/usr/local/pupradio/pupradio: line 105: /root/.pupradio/config: No such file or directory
#

Simple fix...... just copied the missing config file from another Puppy to /root/.pupradio/config. No MPlayer but PupRadio launches. :)

Sure, the next time I use it I will (I'm in Puppy 4.32 v3 at the moment). I suspect it's an Abiword problem rather than an exclusively Mage problem though.

gtk problems with change of kernel

#137 Post by scsijon »

Folks, I am halting all testing for about one week while I rebuild a few packages that need updating for the new kernel, gtk problems are ocurring! This was not expected.

I shall report when it's fixed and will bring out a new Mage2 Alpha, numbered as 1.9.88

YUP, another GdkPixbuf-WARNING problem, I thought so!

I'm going to use a couple of the old packages, which worked ok, and update a number of others to suit the kernel so were in a halt mode at present for mage2, a couple of weeks more should sort it all out. Depending on how much I do will decide whether another alpha is required or just a beta.

regards and thanks for everyone's patience with this.

I decided in the end to update my woof2 and start again with mage2 after it would not build a stable mage2 after the woof2 update. A lot of changes were needed to sort it out.

I plan on releasing an alpha this weekend and will leave notes on what's what at the time.
