I'm sorry Dry Falls, but even changing the folder does not change anything. :(

Hi Dry Falls, I tried several versions of Just-lighthouse and I found it one in which my keyboard work OOTB downloaded from the following link: http://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux ... 64-603.iso.
I tried to replace the folder /lib/keymaps of JL64-702 Slackware-14.2 with that of 150816-JL64-603 but did not work.
Hope this helps.

Corvus, I was wondering if you have an older box or laptop? I was thinking it must be a kernel/firmware issue or syntax in the .xinitrc script. Have you tried the firmware sfs addon? How about k4.1.11 kernel package? It's true that slackware64-14.2 is substantially different than 14.1 and its earlier xorg server (in JL64-603 & 604), but I suspect the error is mine. I really appreciate your help with this. Hopefully we'll find the culprit and fix it.

Here is the current .xinitrc I'm using. Maybe that will have an effect.

Tried your .xinitrc script and the firmware sfs addon no success.

I have tried several JL64 versions and noticed that Just-Lighthouse64-604.6.8 is the last version on which my keyboard is working properly, from Just-Lighthouse64-604.6.8.2 up to JL64-702 my keyboard does not work in the correct mode.

k4.1.3

#205 Post by Dry Falls »

Hi Corvus. Just to humor me, could you try this kernel package with JL64-702.sfs (plus minimally, 2_gvfs and python-2.7 addons)? It is identical to your JL64-603 which works except for distrospecs and BOOTCONFIG files. It's an older kernel configuration and older yet busybox. Anyway, this test, if it still doesn't work for you, will rule out the kernel and initrd as the root of the problem...

k4.1.3.tar.gz

thanks,

Corvus, did you try boot parameter "pkeys=it"? May be a timing problem. Otherwise, log out and at prompt, type xorgwiz-auto or xorgwiz-vintage (either of these set up the system for, and then call xorgwizard). If that doesn't work, I think your keyboard just doesn't tolerate xorg-server-1.18.3+. I'm going to try and rebuild JL64-604 for older machines, but that is down the road. 603 was really a pre-alpha experiment and has much amiss. It's good to know that the 4.1 series kernel worked for you.

This did the trick I'm very happy Thanks. :D What changes if you specify the keyboard layout in the boot parameter instead of the quick setup settings?
Anyway Thanks again Dry Falls for the time you have dedicated to the resolution of my problem.

Hi DryFalls

Have you added save directory loading to the initrd by chance? Maybe consider adding it. Save me some work lol.

Hi dryfalls !

Same problem with alt gr key keyboard over here with azerty be latin 1 belgian keyboard.
I can't remember how to access boot parameter to try to input "pkeys=be", it's been too long ago since I used it last.
Also last versions do not detect my pci and usb wifi hardware.
Last I tried I was able to use a save file on USB stick.
Booting works fine.
On Fat House latest iso booting is dead, but before last updates everything worked fine; keyboard, sound card, wifi, etc... but no save file. :-(
So what is needed is once again a blend of LH & FH :-)
The best of both worlds in one package.
I am really missing Puppy since I had to switch to 64 bit, so far nothing is working for my Lenovo POS.
Except for Linux Mint and windblow$ 10 :-(

Thank you guys for all the work, it will work sometime soon.

hey there eztuxer.
pkeys boot parameter goes after 'linux /vmlinuz' in grub2, or after 'append' in the others (syslinux, menu 1st, etc). Also, you might want to run with 5_JL64-702-8.sfs which has extra kbd utilities, including salix tools 'keyboardsetup' you can run from console or gtk wizard from menu. Also, the enlightenment DE runs a different setup/configuration altogether at the first time you run it. Might be worth a try. Meanwhile, here is a package with extra keymaps from fatdog 710...

@Stemsee, I fiddled some with save to directory in the init script, but usually ended up breaking it. As far as I have experienced, the only stable/trouble-free save-to-folder is in fatdog. Lighthouse has always had save-to-partition, quirky style, as an option. It is very well with flash media. A step short of full install. And contrary to what some have said, you can have multiple save-files on the same partition. With two or more (real or dummy) save files, select 0 at prompt and you will boot into pupmode 6 or 7.

wifi?

#217 Post by Dry Falls »

Hi ez.

(make sure python sfs module is loaded)

from wizardwizard -> startup | services,
disable (uncheck) Frisbee and restart to see if kernel & X (dhcp & wpa) can find/load your system. you can try frisbee.sh (newer frisbee for wlan) instead. Or disable both and from the menu, select Stemsee;s wifi-connect or another method. experiment. (may want to move frisbee_tray out of ~/Startup!)

Of course there's the 'connect' icon in the Desktop folder ('Launcher") but that is some pretty old stuff.

The kernel is configured pretty heavily for intel, but you could still try the firmware sfs addon in case something's missing.

Another thing to try is the network manager sfs, which contains other networking software as well and auto-loads the networking applet.

If you can find something that works for both eth0 and wifi/wlan, I'll change the default. Unfortunately, I only have eth0 hard-wired to the satellite. No way to test this stuff from here.

Thanks (really!)

df,

Removed frisbee from startup folder, however after reboot I still get some pesky OSD pop ups claiming "Sucsess" wlan2 connected, etc... :evil:

I think some other automatic setup is running in // as I am using the Puppy Network Manager which is working on all other puppies so far.

Also with Firefox I get this :

trying to connect to pay wifi hotspot :
https://proximus.portal.fon.com/jcp/102 ... 2.28.185.8

I get this:

update v2

#219 Post by Dry Falls »

@ez, sorry to be late coming back to you on this. Been digging out from flood season here. The base file has libraries and some modules for ca-certificates and js-185. Full packages are in sfs addon (js-185). Are you using an old (trusted) ~/.mozilla or new? If the latter, you will have to re-set up your services, passwords, etc. I have one .mozilla directory on the drive which I frugal link to every save file or distro I.m running.

meanwhile, several new sfs modules uploaded (including kodi16.1 (64bit). check sfs-update or browse gdrive (link in opening post - sort by modification date).

JL64-702.v2-delta.tar.gz (57M) contains a delta file to patch the previous iso. some significant changes including cgmanager fix (in rc.sysinit).
Rebuilt kde4 and broke it up into smaller packages.
New Devx to accommodate slackware64 package upgrades.
Kernel is 4.10.7 (although I use 4.7.6) with some changes to .config

Although I have a working plasma5-17.04 (kde5), JL64-702.sfs needs remastered with several slackware-current files which breaks pup_event if it's done right! So, removed alien kde from slapt-get repo. May later make a KLighthouse when slackware-current settles down. Meanwhile sticking with slackware64-14.2 and salix (which provides deps and won't install packages which will break the system).

More and more, I'm going back to xfce4 desktop which just feels sturdier than the other dm's, even with compiz running.
