Wifi in 13.2

#221 Post by peebee »

/etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG seems to have disappeared in 13.2

It is necessary to load the b43 driver BEFORE /etc/init.d/Pwireless2 is run - I no longer know how to do this....

I can get b43 wifi to work with Pwireless2 but it isn't persistent through a reboot due to the above problem - needs manual intervention to kick it into life.

Anybody know what the new bootmanager mechanism is?

Cheers

Many thanks

Added b43 to modules line

and changed network interface to wlan0

wifi is now automatically reconnected after reboot.

Scooby,

See if you run the command:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd
if you get any errors.
thunar-volman is unnecessary for the volume monitor.


mavrothal,

I tried your filemnt script and want to include it in the adrv-xfce.sfs. only flaw i have with it as opposed to the one i posted earlier is that it doesn't mount the files if there in a directory with a space in it. same with any puppy:

path = /mnt/home/sdb1/operatingsystems/archpup.iso..........works
path = /mnt/home/sdb1/operating systems/archpup.iso.........doesn't work

same as with your original script! (check again and see if the SFS is actually mounted because I do not see it mounted at my end).

The reason that I prefer the puppy version is that it includes all the required checks for the state of the SFS to be loaded/unloaded.

BTW, simargl indeed quited the puppy forum. :shock:
However, AFAICS development continues 8)
Comments suggestions etc at archpup souceforge support or discussion

i've been using the script for about 2 years now. i wrote it specifically because puppy's default filemnt script couldn't mount if there are spaces in the directory names.

i like the default for those same reasons. deal breaker for me though is '/path/to/space in dir name/*.sfs' won't mount.

Nice to see sim's still working on archpup though.

BTW, Archpup puppy People, should we start an Archpup-13.2 thread even if simargl does not want to participate?

That might be useful, aarf has one on the alt forum, plus they have made a webseeded torrent.

:
Sounds like an excellent idea to me. the new filemnt script also works perfect. it tends to go unnoticed but the filemnt script hasn't worked with spaces in puppy...as long as i've been using it. well done.

Does the 'create a save file' dialog from a new frugal install work for anyone? I haven't gotten it to work, not one time, on any ArchPup. It says it's creating, but it doesn't. I have to manually create the save file, and reboot so it'll load, and then make changes...

No problems here with 12.12-2 or 13.2.
Do you see anything strange if you run it from the terminal (makepfile.sh)?

I don't think I carry much weight here, but when doing your initial Create Savefile, I had to explicitly click on the volume (you'll see what I mean)...you can't just highlight it and press enter.

EDIT: Okay, we're up and running 13.2. BTW, the savefile presents no issues (whatever!)

Yeah, You cannot register on this forum

and torrent is "access denied"

I think I will stay here

What is this alternative forum anyway? A secret society? A state within the state.

that's well said mavrothal and gives the users a heads up that....there is a bit of a learning curve.

the system isn't overly hard to use though. the great part abt it is...at least for me, it has totally filled every gap. i no longer use two linuxes, one for this, and one for that...i use ArchPup for everything. Fast systems, slow, new, old, hard drive install, portable...everything.

1 spot though, that is accomplishable, is 64 bit.

You are right I'm a Puppy fascist :P

That's why its called 'Alternate' Forum and says at the top Alternate Forum for Puppy Linux Users - Go to Main Forum. Just maybe its a back up in case murga goes down?

That's right the link is just fool, don't use the login or the server will self-destruct:

use login: puppy@changed
