dPup on a dell d830 |
|
Nice job.
Installed dPup 3.6.2 on a Dell D830 with an nvidia NVS 140M (comparable to a 8400), and it runs fine after compiling NVidia's 310 driver.
The reason I choose dPup from all the other derivatives was:
a) Debian Squeeze, which is built from the new C compiler
b) A kernel that supports SMP
c) Video and Sound device support
My needs are to use 3rd party debian software, in particular, the Second Life client viewers and dPup runs it pretty well.
Hope you maintain support for dPup, as the debian people put a great deal of work in converting to 6.0 and this distro makes their efforts worthwhile.

pemasu, I managed to get it loaded manually, but only once. Did first mod prob eeepc_laptop, and then modprob eee. It loaded, responded to commands, the folder was there. Rebooting and it's gone and modprob doesn't help anymore. |
Hi pemasu,
The fan control issue has been solved, as I already mentioned. The reason it failed to work from the start, is because I lumped together and loaded all the modules that had an Asus name on it. Did some cleanup, removed what wasn't needed, like 'asus_oled' module and now it works perfectly well. It can be easily managed either from the terminal or via Micko's GUI app.

i also give my vote for ...
moreover, a survey of CPU temperature on various 54X7 and uPup3.7.2 vs dPup3.6.2 showed that this dPup3.6.2 keeps CPU the coolest ( in powersave mode, tempicon background is most of time blue coloured => i.e. temperature = 40°C or lower )
thanks in advance

Shutdown does not do a clean unmount |
|
Hiyas...
I'm not sure if this is dPup specific, but I've come to the conclusion that unmount of flash drives are not being performed properly at shutdown.
My system: Dell d830 with the following setup
sda1 : 800MB vfat partition used to boot the system
sda2: 14gb ext2 partition for the squeezesave file and data/apps directories
sdb1: 8gb ext2 partition for cache, temp and frequently written to directories
sdc1: 8gb pcmcia adapter for a Compact Flash adapter that holds a vfat SDHC card
Upon booting:
sda1 remains unmounted
sda2 becomes the dev_save device, with drive directories available under home
sdb1 and sdc1 are automaticly mounted
Upon Shutdown, the system hangs after the "Shutting Down"message appears on the console.
If sdc1 is unmounted manually before shutdown is attemped, then the shutdown completes fully.
If 'umount' of sdc1 is added to rc.shutdown, just after the Shutdown message, then it completes without hanging.
Without the manual unmounts or added umounts in the rc.shutdown, I find that fsck reports that all the sdb1 and sdc1 drives have not cleanly unmounted.
Booting with another minimum dPup flash drive that I use for recovery, it reports that sda2 (the save drive) has not been unmounted cleanly.
E2FSCK also reports that the squeezesave file itself has also not been unmounted cleanly.
The reason the umount is placed just after the Shutdown echo message is that it's the only place I found that didn't cause a hang, because sdc1 was still mounted.
I have a Dell C640 running dPup 5.X.15 (kernel 2.6) with a single flash drive:
sda1: 600MB vfat boot partition
sda2: 3.2GB ext2 partition for squeezesave and data/apps directories
A e2fsck of sda2 reports that it also was not unmounted cleanly after a shutdown.

I have a question to Pemasu to Xorg version in Exprimo:
On my new laptop Fujitsu T902 only Precise Puppy 5.4.3 and Upup 3.2.29 and 3.7.2. can works Xorg correctly.
In Exprimo 3.6.2.1. Xorg won't works, Vesa Running instead to first boot, But if I switch system to text mode (for example pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) screen blanks in a random color and I cannot see anymore anything.
Can I upgrade Xorg version form Exprimo ?
Thnx
Fabio

Fabio T, Xorg is much older version in Dpup Exprimo. Not the best one for newer comps. I think that upgrading xorg is quite big job. There isnt fully working updated xorg for exprimo. I did test the one from squeeze backports and I even built the test version. Unfortunately there were many missing xorg drivers. It wasnt possible to use it fully. I dont know why they provided that crippled version to test. Even working synaptics driver was missing.
So...I cant help with upgrading xorg. It is too big job for me.

Note to Pemasu:
.pot and .po files are essentially text files so they should have
right click menus like text files (I often open text files with leafpad)
RSH has a nice app that converts mo and po files

both pet or in sfs
I'm not a good specialist, but I tried to launch in a terminal :
(nothing)
Quote: | # chromium
Illegal instruction
# |

Thanks to read me
Edit

Please, do not get me wrong, but tell me if my problem does not interest you, or has already been processed. I have great difficulty with English and I may have missed?

Arefacti. Have you downloaded the browsers from my repo or from somwhere else. The browsers in my repo should work. I tested chromium-19.pet....it worked and then I created google-chrome-25.pet and sfs and they worked. I did upload them to the exprimo repo.
The straight link to exprimo repo is here:
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-exprimo/
You can find several browsers there.
Posting this from google-chrome-25
If you have downloaded the browsers from my repo, then something is wrong with your setup. You should post the error messages here, when you launch the browsers in console.

Many thanks Pemasu answer to me.
I download the browsers from the Puppy Packages Manager
my install is frugal : copy puppy_squeeze_5.X.3.6.2.1.sfs, initrd.gz and wmlinuz to my HDD and modify the menu.lst of grub
The Puppy works great, except the browsers. tor even don't work.
I'll try to download it directly from your link and I'll let you know
Thanks again !

Problem with Chrome, Iron, Chromium in Exprimo 3.6.2.1 |
|
Hi Arefacti,
Don't panic. Have patience. Pemasu has a real life outside of Puppy, and maintains several puplets. Sorry I can't help but I don't use the Chrome or its clones, and am currently not in Exprimo 5x3.6.2.1.
There are a couple of things you can do in the meantime.
First, always give your posts subject titles. That way, for example, someone familiar with Chrome and its problems who may not be using Exprimo may find it and provide help.
Second, just in case it's a conflict between hardware and software describe your computer: Processor? Amount of Ram? Graphics Card?
Third, and in this case most important -- identify the pets and sfses you've tried. There are many versions of Chrome, Chromium, Iron available. Which ones are you having a problem with? It's best to provide a link to the webpage where you got them so that someone using Exprimo 3.6.2.1 can download, test and see if your problem can be duplicated.
Fourth, the 5x3.6.2.1 is an "experimental" build. Try one of the 5x3.4 Exprimos
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/DpupSqueeze5X/
and see if it has a problem with Chrome etc.
Fifth, abandon Chrome etc. Everything you do using Chrome is sent to google. Big Uncle is watching you. Iron does't, but can't use Chrome's plugins. Use Opera: it's almost as fast and your business remains your business.

here are the news :
Google chrome downloads in the exprimo repo of Pemasu works !
Before I downloaded to PPM, when I launch for example chromium the browsers in console, the answer was :
Quote: | # chromium
Illegal instruction
# |
or google chrome :
(nothing)
@mikeslr : Thanks, I'll follow your advice!
Now, I'll try to get TOR in the repo of Pemasu, and I'll say to you !
thank you for your understanding, it is difficult to understand and help someone who speaks the language poorly.
