Installing a patch as a pet or not |
|
Quote
To use a patch, download and extract, enter extracted
folder, open terminal from within folder, and enter
./install.sh to install the patch.

I usually install tar.gz files as a pet. Is that wrong?
I can install the update your way if i need to. I am just
Just wondering if I have been making a mistake by
installing them as pets.

No, do not install it as a pet. It must be done in the way described. Sorry, Pete22.

wireless |

Elroy:
"When that happens in frisbee, click the Reset Wireless Network button, and give it some time to refresh the list."...........
.is five minutes wait from boot long enough? Is another five minutes after reset?
I next went to menu, programs, control panel, networks, wizard -launch, it asked if OK to unload Frisbee.... OK-yes
Failed to raise interface. Cleared, old full network wizard replies with no networks are detected. I have the suspicion Frisbee did not unload.
I can not find the menu item to look at what modules are loaded in memory. to tell if Frisbee is still active. All I know is I can not run network wizard and get any networks found.
Thanks,
One more question, I have not tried Luki, but module for ODBC in LebraOffice - Libodc.so.1, seems to be missing.

update on wirless Subject description: Found task manger |
|
Found the task manger, yes frisbee module is unloaded.
Icon on taskbar changes. However wizard fails to find any networks, as with my previous post. Says correct drive is loaded, zd1211rw. It scans as it does find a active interface.
Interesting - physically remove the USB cable to the dongle...and get exactly the same messages.

What's not working |
|
Elroy:
I tried to install the patch just as you directed.
However, when I put ./install.sh in the terminal,
nothing happens. I tried going to the extraction folder
and pressing ~+esc to open a terminal but nothing
happened. So I put a terminal icon into the folder to
make sure it opened from there. I then tried
installing the patch three times but nothing happened.
I checked to see if the fixes are there, but they are not.
Wifi: Still is a no go, even with installing the most likely
kernels during startup. Wifi works on this computer in
Sakuki. I have installed and reinstalled the kernels but
nothing works. frisbee, sns, nw none of them work. I
installed and uninstalled numerous times.
I can not mount the sr0 drive by clicking on the
desktop icon nor by using pmount either. I can not
get the volume monitor to do anything, even though
the terminal says it is running.

This is rare but I experienced it myself.
:::::::::::::
Sometimes....very infrequently in Frisbee you have to
>> delete your profiles
Restart
>> Hit Connect
Frisbee starts...
Select >> Wireless Diagnostics
Select Ap_scan
Change the >> Ap_scan Parameter
from 1 to >> 2
for a better connection to a hidden network
Exit Frisbee
Hit Connect >> Frisbee starts...>> Wireless Network refresh
A few moments later...networks reappear
Fill in your details...and Frisbee connects.

Pete22, not to ask a terribly silly question, BUT: did you check the md5sum for your download with the one on the download site (which was marked blahblahblah.iso.txt)? They should match -- if they don't then a bad download would go a long way to explaining your troubles!
I admit that I get into a bad habit of not doing that. I'm learning better ones tho

@Geoffrey...
thanks very much for your responses to my questions/problems... i very much appreciate your support...
i am pleased to say that i now have my custom Carolina Adrive... it works perfectly...
i guess in previous attempts to build my Adrive i overlooked several important dependencies... eg... gtk dialogue, python, mozilla libs, etc, etc... the "builder" indicated they could not be found in any of the repositories... anyway, i manually searched and searched for them and found all but dvd +rw tools and core utils... i guess these two are not really required because the new custom Adrive is working quite well...
i will continue my testing of Carolina-001... as indicated earlier... i like what i see... keep up the good work...

@yr1945,
Good to see it's working for you, though elroy deserves all the credit for getting the custom builder functioning correctly,
elroy tells me that he made a few adrives to test and make sure it's working, all have been successful.
Thanks for trying Carolina, all feedback is helpful.
Geoffrey

Open the patch folder, right click on an empty area and choose 'open terminal here.' Type and press enter. There is no output if successful inside the terminal, but I'm about to update the patch so that it confirms installation.
You can check if patch-002 successfully installed from the terminal by entering: Code: | ls /root/Startup/xfce4-volumed |
Geoffrey is hard at work trying to sort out some of the reported wifi issues. Hopefully we will have something to report soon.

Hi elroy,
Thanks for the info re accessing wifi driver modules not automatically included at bootup. Good to know for future efforts. Unfortunately, my version of Carolina did not include either rt61pci or rt2561pci. See attached.

Trying to get wireless working on Carolina |
|
@cthisbear Thank you for your suggestion. I tried the fix for frisbee but it failed when I changed the api scan to number 2.
@starhawk:
I wish it was a bad download. I have forgotten to do it in the past. But it's not the problem this time.
Always worth asking, because that is an easy fix.
I loaded Saluki on the same machine as Carolina to see if it had the same problems with the internet.
No,it doesn't. Saluki detects my wireless hardware and connects just
fine. That makes me think its a software issue.
So I went snooping to see if I could see a difference..
I found one.
Saluki uses:

It looks to my untrained eye that Carolina is trying to use
wlan0 for the wireless network connection but is not being successful.
Saluki ignores wlan0 and is successful at using eth1.
Is that at all helpful?

Easing the transistion to Carolina Puppy |
|
Geoffrey and elroy: I suggest making PupControl available for Carolina,
I use it all the time when I am tweaking my system. It gives me easy access to most
of the items I need without having to dig into the guts of Carolina.
For others who might not know about pupcontrol; take a look at what it can do:
|http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=61961
I think that pupshutdown would also be a great asset for Carolina.
It would give the shutdown routine a very polished look.
