I will leave http://alphaos.tuxfamily.org forum registration open today, if someone wants to join, then will disable it again to prevent spammers from registering or making comments.

Hi simargl,
Hope, you're doing well. I've done a quick test of alphaOS 9.0, mainly its startup routine. Will do some more testing and share my experience here later on. Both good and bad, in equal measure. In the meantime, I have a question, purely technical one: Can you apply the startup routine, as implemented in alphaOS to a classic puppy of your choice. So that, "xorgwizard" is taken out of the process, but leaving "quicksetup" intact. Can you make it happen?
Thank you in advance

Hi, I think xorgwizard in Puppy is started from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, and quicksetup from some script inside /root/Startup, so you can find xorgwizard there and comment that line to disable it. Every script from /root/Startup in original Puppy is executed when session is started, but that directory is not used here, instead of there is file /root/.start that sets background, tint2 panel, volume control and other programs on startup.

It's not that simple and the task is above my grade. The process is split into many parts, some moved to initrd, some to profile. Obfuscated, to say the least. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=87662 I shouldn't have mentioned Quick setup as it is not related.

There is new Openbox release 3.5.2
http://icculus.org/pipermail/openbox/2013-August/008158.html
3.5.2:
* Fix crash in theme rendering code, and in theme parsing code.
* Maximize windows without borders to fill the whole screen, don't leave
a one-pixel empty space. (Bug #5996)
3.5.1:
* New translations: Afrikaans, Belarusian, Interlingua, Hebrew, Romanian,
Greek.
* Updated translations: Italian, Serbian, Spanish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish,
German, Arabic, Polish, Dutch, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Estonian.
* SVG icon support. This is optional, depending on librsvg being installed.
* Allow application rules to control window size with a new <size> tag.
* Allow application rules to pick a monitor for new windows without forcing
a position.
* Allow non-interactive focus cycling with a new <interactive> tag.
* New LeastOverlap window placement policy replaces the old default
behaviour. It finds a place on a given monitor that overlaps as few
windows as possible. Contributed by Ian Zimmerman.
* Improved Xinerama behaviour.
* Correctly interface with latest gnome-session for Gnome/Openbox X sessions.
* Allow third-party control of window opacity in compositing managers.
* Improved themeing options. Contributed by Dave Foster.
* Add <monitor>, <title type="regex">, <title type="exact"> and
<activedesktop> options to If action.
* Addresses bugs #4661, #5506, #5186, #5758, #5410, #5228, #5277, #5731,
#5746, #5737, #5419, #5721, #5711, #5385, #5500, #4992, #5443, #5518,
#5444, #4782, #5237, #5228, #5173, #5203, #5246, #5180, #5179, #5150,
#5132, #4937, #4889, #5253, #3769, #5819, #5811, #5081, #5426 among others.

I installed new openbox package from
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/openbox/
with
pacman -U --force openbox-3.5.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
I don't like their new window placement choice, it looks like with some tiling window manager and it is too much robotic (better if they kept it random like before).
Window placement in previous version was perfect, now they have changed to worse.

The GNU C Library version 2.18 is now available
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-announce/2013/msg00000.html
Already in the Arch Testing repository https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/i686/glibc/
Before they move it to the [core] repository, I think they will recompile all 6000 packages with this new glibc,
Than means Arch is still the most up-to-date, plus simple, fast and stable Linux distribution in the world.

In AUR repository there is a package for linux-sta:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-sta-dkms/
I ran the install script but I can't test the install because in alphaos the kernel does not recognize my hardware wireless' buttons... How to get working the hardware buttons of wireless?
EDIT: I made some progress. Successfully created the pkg from AUR but I need the source of the kernel 3.10.3-ALPHAOS to install and test by dkms the wl.ko driver. Can someone public the source of the kernel used in the last release of ALPHAOS?

I think the file linux_3.10.3_src.sfs is what you want. check https://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/files
The link to it is availible from first post in this thread

Re: Broadcom bcm4313 |

Many thanks. But I had not success. Doing:
building the package broadcom-sta-dkms from AUR by
Code: | ln -s /lib/modules/3.10.3-ALPHAOS/build /usr/lib/modules/3.10.3-ALPHAOS/build |
Code: | pacman -U broadcom-sta-dkms-5.100.82.112-6-i686.pkg.tar.xz |
Code: | dkms install broadcom-sta/5.100.82.112-6 |
I have builded a wl.ko. But:
exits in:
Code: | insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /usr/lib/modules/3.10.3-ALPHAOS/extramodules/wl.ko: Unknown symbol in module |
EDIT: solved wireless connection. With BCM4312 ALPHAOS-9.0 works out of the box. I had only to unblock the hardware button with:
The compiled wl.ko does not work. I tried even to put in /root/.start:
Code: | rmmod b43 &
rmmod ssb &
rmmod bcma &
rmmod wl &
modprobe lib80211 &
modprobe cfg80211 &
insmod /usr/lib/modules/3.10.3-ALPHAOS/extramodules/wl.ko |

That is strange because this is original mplayer2 package from Arch, it should play everything
I've tested and here wmv file plays correctly in gnome-mplayer

Broadcom-sta wl driver |
|
I have found the way to get working the compiled wl.ko driver on my machine. I created a shell script:
Code: | #!/bin/sh
rmmod b43
rmmod ssb
rmmod bcma
rmmod wl
modprobe lib80211
modprobe cfg80211
insmod /root/my-documents/Downloads/wl.ko
sleep 10
rfkill unblock all |
I run the shell script and then the compiled wl driver works. I uploaded the compiled wl.ko:

So I fired up my old Window$, which I havent done for months
The file didnt play there either so I think it was corrupt somehow.
However it was the first of five files and three of the others played fine
in gnome-mplayer but not in smplayer!
I will have to re-download the files
