Hi Toni,

Fixed url-list updating, re-uploaded, see first post about sfs-get_smokey-get.
Recursive checkbox checked by default now (but it should work well for files directly on root of folder without it checked also).
Btw, I noticed, looking at bandwidth used, when scanning (updating or just creating download list) by wget, it's almost nothing, so no worries about speed, concerning that, for someone with slow connection.

Thank you, Fred!
I confirm the update url problem is gone. I will test it more tonight.

Is there a way to connect to the internet with pppoe using the new porteus- wheezy. I installed pppoe.deb with dpkg -i and did the usual pppoe-setup ( pppoe.conf I took from my lucid 528). But after pppoe-start I get a timeout after a while. Unfortunately I have no other way to connect to the internet than by pppoe and my lucid puppy is getting a little outdated and has no apt-get so I plan to switch to porteus-wheezy.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Payoon.
I guess you mean the latest Porteus-Wheezy from Fred here:
http://www.smokey01.com/saintless/Porteus-Wheezy/
I can't really test pppoe connection but maybe you need to install pppoeconf:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/net/pppoeconf
pppoe:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/pppoe
and ppp (maybe this one is already included in Porteus-Wheezy):
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ppp
And run modprobe (the example is from DebianDog but it should give similar output in Porteus-Wheezy):

Code: Select all

root@debian:~# modprobe -v pppoe
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/slip/slhc.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/pppox.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/pppoe.ko

Then try typing pppoeconf in terminal and read the instruction here if you find some missing step:
https://wiki.debian.org/PPPoE
I know Frisbee also can configure pppoe so worth trying to test Frisbee first before pppoeconf.

Hi Toni
thanks for quick reply. I have done following : install pppoe_3.8-3_i386.deb,ppp_2.4.5-5.1+b1_i386.deb and pppoeconf_1.20_all.deb all with dpkg -i. I have run

Code: Select all

modprobe -v pppoe

=> all modules loaded correctly.

Code: Select all

pppoe-setup

and entered the correct parameters
pppoe-setup says it was succesful

Code: Select all

pppoe-start

=> TIMEOUT!
I will continue to search for a solution and post it if I find one.
Thanks for the help provided.

Thanks Toni, working fine here!
What did you do to make this work without having to log in with new version first?

Another thing, I got the smokey-get script working also with google-drive now.
Please try, I'm curious if it works for you also.
Hope you don't mind I used your google drive address for it.
Attached gdrive-get.tar.gz
Edit: Re-uploaded, changed: curl not checking for certificates.

Sorry, Fred, I get nothing to choose for download from start, or after updating url-lst, with or without Recursive box checked. It shows all folders empty for me but I'm sure it is my ISP problem.

Ok, thanks for testing, not a problem as we don't really need it.
I still am also curious about how you did set up Skype

Edit: Sorry, please try one more time again gdrive-get, the script uses also curl and I forgot to let curl skip checking certificates, re-uploaded, see edited previous post.

Hi, Fred.

You have waiting PM in my Outbox the last few hours. Check out your inbox. Maybe it is 100% full? It is simple fix but I prefer not to post it here. The first loophole was closed by Skype team in a week. It will work longer if we keep the secret a way from google search The packages are available and ready for use anyway.

Edit: Sorry, please try one more time again gdrive-get, the script uses also curl and I forgot to let curl skip checking certificates, re-uploaded, see edited previous post.

Yes, this time works, Fred Seems it takes longer to update url-list but I can download files from google drive this time.

Yes,I read now, thanks I don't understand the technical details but I don't need to at this moment, great work, I can say!

Nice!

I don't understand the technical details but I don't need to at this moment,

Some reading, much testing and much luck is what made it work for me, Fred.
Anytime you need more information I will explain proper all needed steps.

Yes. please do when you have time, no hurry at all, I'm interested (and I like getting top-secret message, feels like being criminal for a while )

Hi Toni, Fred and everyone,

Ethernet support has been added to PeasyWiFi, looks very promissing:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 506#796506
any plans to debianize it?

[saintless]

Hi, Anikin.

From quick reading I see the default connection is wireless and wired is added as option by renaming files in /etc/rc.d
Debian does not have /etc/rc.d directory and I guess the location for the included files has to be changed inside the script. I do not use wireless and can't test myself the result. Also every next update from the author must be converted the same way for debian regarding the changes in /etc/rc.d and /root in order to make it work in multiuser system.
To the moment we have deb packages for frisbee, sns and porteus-xpns-tool_1.0.1_i386.
I do not plan to try but maybe someone else will make proper converted PeasyWiFi deb package.

Hi Toni,
Here is improved desktop-editor.
It's the one from porteus you found a while back, with changed/added:
- restarts now after editing so changes are visible directly.
- supports .desktop filenames containing spaces now (there are a few in openbox version).
- added 'New' button that opens 'MenuMaker' (which I took from puppy).
- menu-item for MenuMaker itself (which is rather complete on its own, you can create new, edit or delete menu-items)

Attached desktop-editor_1.0_i386.deb (remove dummy .tar extension)

Fred

[saintless]

Thank you, Fred!

Rebuilded the deb with version for replacing existing menu entry and both uploaded and linked in fixes post:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 368#776368
Also uploaded here:
http://www.smokey01.com/saintless/DebianDog/Fixes/
I will replace the old versions in google drive in the next days.

Edit: BTW, Fred, just for information my problem starting Skype 4.3.0.37 is solved. Skype has dropped support for CPU with SSE flag:

Let me understand: "solved" sounds to me you got it working right but I have the feeling from what I read in your skype thread you know now "where the error comes from" only.
EDIT: sorry, silly question, must be the latter, that you found out the cause.

About my desktop-editor .deb, in case you didn't notice, there will be created symlinks, by the "postinst" script in /DEBIAN, to /opt/bin.

Hi, Fred.

Let me understand: "solved" sounds to me you got it working right but I have the feeling from what I read in your skype thread you know now "where the error comes from" only.

Yes, solved means I have to buy new hardware to use skype 4.3.0.37.

About my desktop-editor .deb, in case you didn't notice, there will be created symlinks, by the "postinst" script in /DEBIAN, to /opt/bin.

No, I didn't notice this. I just saw the new desktop file in /usr/share/applications without testing the old menu entry.
Then I will remove the -replace version and edit the fixes post.

Am I correct in concluding that the mplayer is set up (compiled??) to not to work in the console framebuffer?

So if you exit X, it won't work with

Code: Select all

"mplayer -vo fbdev2 filename" or "mplayer -vo fbdev filename"

.

When install mplayer or mplayer 2 from the repository, it uninstalls gmplayer and then it does work.

edit: i was able to add mplayer2 as an sfs file and everything works as expected.
