hi i am trying to get xenial pup running on my son's hp stream11
It has a pci Intel wireless 7265 network controller
i found a linux driver on intel's website but not sure how to install it.
thanks
How to use wifi on hp stream11?
I have an intel 7265 wii card in my laptop.
The firmware versions in most modern puppies is old and not found. The firmware version I am presently using with xenial and bionic puppies & dpup stretch 7.5 with kernels 4.9.x is iwlwifi-7265D-22.ucode.
The firmware is contained in the directory /lib/firmware. You will probably see in this directory iwlwifi-7265D-10.ucode. This version is too old for newer kernels and won't be found at boot.
If you run in a terminal
dmesg | grep wifi you will se something like this:
The kernel is initially trying to load firmware version 26. As its not found, it cycles backward up to about 10 times. If it doesn't find a valid firmware version. it doesn't load any firmware. In my case it finds and loads version 22 on the fifth attempt.
As this kernel is starting to look for version 26, there are newer firmware versions 27 & 29 available, but won't be found at boot either, as they are above the version that the kernel is searching for.
Edit: Using LXPupSC64 with 4.15.x kernel the newer firmware version 29 is successfully loaded. You will need to load this firmware yourself also.

Others say it is Broadcom.

thanks fpr the help
I was thinking was too complicated.
how I got it to work was downloading the linux driver from intel then unpacking it and copying it into lib /firmware then it finds the wifi when I opened network set up.
I now havrle another problem though I can't. Install xenialpup 7.5 tried bot 64 and 32
I tried the installer, it opened gparted
I then deleted the partions and made a new ext 3 partion and set flag to boot
but the installer keeps telling me there is no partion to install to (tried ext 2 and 4).
what am I doing wrong?
thanks

Sorry about your installer problem.
I will assume you are talking about the Puppy Universal Installer.
I will assume you only want Xenialpup on the computer.
No Windows 10
Am I correct?
Could you post a link to exactly where you got the driver.

Yes you are correct i dont want windows on the hp stream and i was using the universal installer.
The link to where i got the wifi driver is https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/ ... rking.html
the driver i used was https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media ... 0.14.0.tgz
I dont know if the problem is to do with the hp stream having a internal sd card onstead of a proper hard drive maybe?
thanks

What partitions do you have now?
Look in gparted or typein console.
Look in gparted or type
Code: Select all
parted -lSo, you have only one partition.I then deleted the partions and made a new ext 3 partion and set flag to boot
Suggest you use ext 3 or 4 for format.
If this had Windows 10 on it.
The internal sd card may be using a GPT partition table and it had a small first partition formatted fat 32 to work as a boot partition to hold only the boot loader.
Had another partition to actually install the Windows 10 OPS on.
Puppy is best to setup on a storage device using a msdos type partition table.
I suggest you run Gparted.
Make a msdos partition table.
Gparted>Device>Create partition table>msdos
Make partition
Format it.
Close Gparted.
You did not say anything about having trouble booting Xenialpup, so I will assume the bios is happy booting something that is not Windows.
About the Universal Installer Problem.
Make sure to mount the partition before running the installer. It may not see an unmounted partition.
After the install completes run Grub4dos Bootloader Config to install a boot loader. Just select the SD card as the device to install to. Select search only within this device.
All other default settings are good to use as is.
OK.
OK.
OK.
done.
Strongly suggest you do a frugal install of Xenialpup.
Some features only work on frugal installs.
It is still the complete OPS. The name frugal is about how little space the install uses.
Also, this info:
Frugal installs:
Can be put on any partition any format, any type storage device.
They load more of Puppy into RAM.
Easier to backup, because all changes, settings are in the save. The core Puppy files never change. Only what is in the save changes. All you have to do is copy the save to have a backup.
If Puppy really gets messed up. Just delete the save and replace it with the backup save.
You can easily load or unload SFS program packages.
This lets you use a program without actually installing it to Puppy. You will have to use this option to fully understand it.
All of Puppy is placed in a directory (folder).
You can have many Puppies on one partition.
All completely separate from the other.
All in different directories (Linux term for folder).
Full installs:
Must be installed to a Linux formatted partition.
Uses the entire partition.
Main advantage is it uses less memory to boot to desktop.
Does not use layered file system.
Works best for compiling.
Does not run into size limit that a save file has on a fat32 format.

mmop1 is not a normal name Puppy would use for a partition.
Normally it would be each storage device as sda, sdb, sdc, etc....
The partitions would be identified as example:
sda1, sda2, sda3 for partitions on sda.
Normally one internal drive would be identified first as sda.
One external drive as sdb.
The external drive is being seen as sda.
So, need to figure out why it is giving the mmop1 name to the internal SD card.
Could just be how it hooks up to the computer and how it identifies it.
The big problem seems to be getting the installer to see a partition on it.
In Gparted it shows the SD card by this name?
Did you do as I suggested to make new partition table, partition, and format?
We only know what you tell us.
So you must give use info.

Unfortunately Yapi sees the partion but fails when trying to install grub.

Have you done this in the UEFI bios setup?
Disable Secure Boot and/or enable Legacy Boot

the note book has an eMMC drive which I think is why it won't it wont install.
I tried https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2351579 but still no luck.
maybe I was too quick in formatting the drive.
Is it possible to install puppy on this type of drive?

Well, you may just have to be happy with Xenialpup booting from a USB flash drive.
Could probably still use the internal drive for storage.
That Ubuntu topic talks about having to do this:
Secure boot MUST be off for installation and after installation.
Legacy Option ROM should be disabled
You do what?
You see what?
Some computers want to see the boot loader stuff on a fat32 formatted partition.
I wonder if redoing the partitioning would help.
Make two partitions.
The first partition, a small (maybe 100MB) partition formatted fat 32.
Use this as the partition to install the boot loader on.
2nd partition the rest of the drive space. Format ext 3.
Install Xenialpup on it.

That Ubuntu topic talks about having to do this:
Note this statement:n order for the system to recognized the installed OS, you must ensure the system is using UEFI boot mode as well as enabling Firmware TPM BEFORE installation. Secure boot MUST be off for installation and after installation. Legacy Option ROM should be disabled. After install, the system will recognize the OS and boot properly after the TPM check which will only occur at the very first bootup and never occur again.

Legacy Option ROM should be disabled
