Is your save file in a usb?
If not in usb, in which disk and partition is it at?

How do you "add b43 firmware"? please. And any chance of posting your wpa_supplicant? I'm still struggling. cheers.

darkcity: Thanks, good job It looks nice. Very Happy
I've just discovered that before you can use packer it is necessary to run this command:
Code:
update-ca-certificates

so I wanted to share that info here and will also update first page.

On an USB. Inside archpup folder. FAT filesystem.
Installed thru FlashPup install process from Slacko.
I tryed to move savepup to the USB root - no go.
I erased savepup and it boots fine... but still no wifi connection.

Do I need to have devx and kernel sfs on the USB stick?
Make no sense since sfs are only installed on boot after save file is make...

i copied and pasted /lib/firmware from out of the saluki sfs and added 'modprobe b43 &' to the top of /root/.xinitrc

i still couldn't get pwireless2 working after that so installed wicd using pacman. it took a nice meat of mbs installing it but i don't mind giving the space, for the stability.

On an USB.

I had this issue too.
Looks like that ArchPup can not boot from USB (yet).

Seems so... Posting from a running Archpup installed on an internal HD at my father in law desktop computer with savefile OK.
Checked the size of both savefiles: on this desktop it has 262.1 MB, on my USB only 220MB.
Maybe the savefile script didn't finish saving all savefile to the USB? Too slow compared to an HD?

Just need to find out how to solve the wifi problem... maybe it's related?

I just run some tests with booting from usb device. USB is formated as FAT32 and I used
unetbootin in windows to create bootable Live USB. It works if you don't have savefile
or if savefile is on hard disk partition. But if you create savefile on USB after reboot it gives
kernel panic !? Rolling Eyes Confused I don't know why would empty savefile make that problem.

I love it, thank you Shocked

a couple of issues

1.
Code:
setxkbmap se
does not correctly display swedish special characters otherwise fine

2. Cannot install torbrowser bundle from aur. Says "stdin not in gzip format"

2.5 Cannot install tixati from aur. says "cannot find strip binary for object file stripping"

3. How do you run a program as spot? Tried to run tor browser bundle but it complained at being run from the root user account. (downloaded tar ball with browser)

4. Have sometimes problems with screen tearing when palying video

Internet connection works well although I manually had to call dhcpcd. Pacman works fine. ffmpeg,mplayer2, smplayer works with a little tweaking (removing some jpeg stuff)

When I have time I will try to install bumblebee from Aur

Again very good work. Maybe now I can scrap my windows?

Hi

a/ Key maps:

the keymaps seem don't to be from puppy and we have now different results and in this details, they are not better, for me in all cases: I write with the us_intl from Puppy and have a great choice of char including some chars for slave and north European languages (and all chars for west European languages completely correct).

in ArchPup, it is different, the same map code produces that what in Debian or Slax etc. would be named us_accentos, a very reduced choice of chars only for south European languages...

b/ Browser comportment

I did try divers browsers and no one will proceed to connect with

localhost:631 (tragic... Cups!)
localhost:8000 (only didiwiki but it would be better to be able!)

what experience did have other users with this important detail concerning directly the ability or not to print in ArchPup?

Kind regards

My savefile is now loading Cool

greengeek

Use a Puppy that your wifi is working on.
Look in lib/firmware and copy the folder corresponding to your driver (in my case 'b43')
Copy it to lib/firmware in Archpup - if 'firmware' doesn't exist, then create it.
In Archpup you will also probably have to create a file called 'firmware.dep.3.8.6' in etc/modules/
This needs to refer to your module, and in my case the line needed is just 'b43:b43.ko'
(I can't profess to understand this fully, I've arrived at it by trial and error, mainly the latter...)

wpa_supplicant.conf is specific to your own connection (contains your SSID and password etc) so again, copy a working one from somewhere else. It is in etc/.

I then run the following script, based on info from
How to configure wifi from the commandline

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
dhcpcd -k wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up

# first remove stale wpa_supplicant file if it exists
 if [ -e /var/run/wpa_supplicant/* ];
 then rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/*;
 fi
 
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -q -B

sleep 30      # 30 for testing - try lower if successful, higher if not.

## first remove stale existing dhcpcd files if exist

if [ -e /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-* ]; then rm /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-*; fi

dhcpcd -t 30 -h archpup -d wlan0

# A result here should mean success...
echo `ifconfig wlan0 | grep '\<inet\>' | sed -n '1p' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f3 | cut -d ':' -f2`
