A little tip (for what it is worth!), I think that some reference was made in Barry's blog not long ago, about some Debian/Ubuntu stuff not kept in their usual paths, it may have been related to Precise Puppy. I just skimmed he text, so I cannot tell you if it was related, but it may be!

Anyone?

It seems I was reading the first page in this thread without realizing there where more pages :oops: , so please excuse me if this is totally irrelevant now!

Wheezy is missing the ntfsprogs package (ntfsclone, ntfsfix, etc). When you run Gparted, it shows NTFS partitions with a warning symbol.

That would be my first suggestion. For some reason the firmwares are not found from where they are in Puppies. And now I should have that /all-firmware folder structure right. I messed them up in other dpup build...
Just wanted to say thanks for that hint. I've put an Intel 2200BG card in an old Dell Latitude X300, and am booting a derivative based on Saluki 022. Copying the firmware files over got the wireless working. So, again, thanks.

(Now if I could just get the thing to update the nameserver properly, all would be well.)

Broadcomm driver.

#86 Post by tony »

hi,

I can't connect to my router with wheezy using wl driver.
The problem seems to relate to wpa encription

# iwconfig wlan0 key 0123456789ABC
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument4

In trying to compile wl using hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz
it fails in /drivers/wl/sys/wl_linux.c

regards tony.

Hi tony

The wl driver is built-in to wheezy so there should be no need to compile it....don't know where you got that source from but there have been quite a few patches needed to compile it on later kernels - and Wheezy has a very modern kernel....but pemasu was able to compile it just fine.

See: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 5&start=16

WL works fine on my system under Wheezy using wpa encryption and Frisbee. Posting from Wheezy over wifi now. Are you using Frisbee? Is there anything out of the ordinary about your wifi setup?

You could try updating Wheezy with the latest rerwin initialistion logic:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=59481

If you continue having problems suggest you post dmesg output or pmodemdiag output.

Cheers

Radeon KMS

#88 Post by LateAdopter »

Hello Pemasu
It might be that I should enable KMS at kernel compile level for radeon.
The important thing is to enable radeon KMS in DRM when compiling the kernel since it can't be enabled later. KMS in radeon.ko can be enabled or disabled via the radeon.modeset= parameter or in radeon.conf.

Your DOTconfigs for 3.5.2 and 3.6.2 have:

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is not set
So radeon KMS will not work properly with these kernels.

BarryK did enable this in later Precise versions, and radeon KMS works properly.

The only issue that I found was that the VESA driver segfaults if radeon.modeset=1 but is OK if radeon.modeset=0. But you wouldn't normally use VESA with a radeon card when there are proper radeon DRI drivers for cards from the last 15 years.

The radeon kernel configuration details are in the Xorg wiki here:

http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo# ... radeon-KMS

LateAdopter. Thanks. I have updated in silence also wheezy. I suppose I will update the kernel also. Radeon KMS set default on....is ok. You can disable it with kernel boot parameter when needed.

Main problem for me is that xorgwizard is not compliant with the xorg version in wheezy. And my abilities are not enough to fix it. I have already one non working command/parameter in xorgwizard, but it does not help much. The xorgwizard should be modified for working correctly.

I created new wheezy couple of days ago....with packages which are now in wheezy deb database. It works and boot to X, loads my drivers and so on. I have implemented the CUPS fixes from this thread.

I probably compile 3.6.X kernel for wheezy. At some time...and I follow when wheezy has the deb database completed and official wheezy is out.

Next thing would be to test firmware loading. I unfortunately dont have any wireless which would need firmware from all-firmware. I need to think from where I can get one.....

Wheezy

#90 Post by sszindian »

Quick update !!!

Wheezy still working great, very responsive and stable.

Only a few problems so far...

Google Earth from the PPM doesn't seem to build a package and no menu entry is created?

Pwidgets 2.4.0 work nice EXCEPT for the NO WEATHER ICONS showing up (anyone have a suggestion or fix for this?)

EDIT: (Dec 23 2012) Installing the new Pwidgets-2.4.1 takes care of the icon problem and Pwidgets works as it should!

Wheezy-3.5.2.1

#91 Post by sszindian »

This Wheezy-3.5.2.1 has lots of potential testors... let's not let it fall by the wayside. Even as it currently is, it's a fantastic Puppy... could easily be the king of puppy's in the very near future with a little more work!!!!

I haven't tried this in a while....... was running it on my Athlon XP box with an old Nvidia card and was having some display problems so I gave up on it. Your post reminded me of it so I did a quick frugal install on an old P4 with Intel graphics and zero display problems. Now I can experiment with it.

3.5.2.1

#93 Post by sszindian »

Wheezy-3.5.2.1

Abiword & Gnumeric do not function!

Tried reinstalling them from the PPM with no luck. Even tried installing from other Puppy versions, no luck?
Went back and did a pfix=ram from previous version 3.5.2 and they did not work there either?
This Wheezy is one fast Puppy on all the rest of the apps!

Abiword-gnumeric

#95 Post by sszindian »

Oh Boy... dumb me for missing that post... 'Thanks James C'

I guess I will have to try the libre office thingy... never used it I might say but if that's it I will have to learn!

Main reason I like abiword is for the printing out of graphics from mtpaint, it does a nice job since mtpaint can't print, I hope libre office can do that, if not I'll have to use gimp I guess?

Anyway, so far this has been a super distro, excellent graphics and as far as I can tell, the fastest puppy I've ever tried... online. offline, downloading, web browsing, you name it. I hope pemasu keeps after this one! although to be truthful, I can't find anything major wrong with it so far?

First time trying this distro, I'm really impressed.

Manual frugal install on no-name laptop, M processor, 1.6Ghz, 256RAM... and it flies. Copied lib/firmware for ipw2200 and connected without further problems.

This is the first 'new' build puppy that I've actually been able to run Firefox with, it usually grinds to a halt. Also installed latest version of Seamonkey, no problems.

Hope you continue to develop it, and Happy New Year to you!

Ambiword

#100 Post by sszindian »

James C :

Notice on your desktop you have a 'Ambiword' icon... by chance is that working for you and if so, how did you go about it?

Wheezy has been working really well and the programs that come with it seem very stable. I run wifi and have had zero problems. It still appears to be the fastest of any of the new puppy's so far!

Been trying to get a Google Earth going in it without success.
