Test on Acer C720

Hi mistfire,
Tested on Acer C720 (chromebook).
- no audio
- no touchpad
Would have expected this new kernel to support at least the C720 audio.
Thats why I tested this one... Touchpad is a tricky one...
wifi works (frisbee), keyboard, ext. mouse, battery indicator
booted right to the desktop.
bluetooth not tested.
Looks familiar (not much changed since Xslacko-slim 4.2R37 from the looks).

@kuman11 yes it is
@Volhaut may I know the name and model of the sound cards and touchpad? Try to swap kernel file and zdrv file with another from other puppies just rename the zdrv file to zdrv_ xslacko_4.4.sfs
By the way at first X-Slacko Slim was looked unchanged however it was improved under the hood.
audio and touchpad on C720

Hi mistfire,
Audio needs pulseaudio, the HW is intel.
Touchpad needs intel synaptic, and uses a Cypress chip.
I haven't spend the effort to solve it (I must be capable to do this myself), using PPM.
And after that make a custom keyboard layout for chromebooks are missing the function keys F1...F12.
Once I have it working, I'll let you know.

R31
Posted: Tue 02 Jul 2019, 13:04
by Volhout
hi mistfire,
It is some time ago since I actively played with X-slack slim.
Last one I looked at was R21 I think.
Installed R31 on my EEE-PC X101CH and it runs flawless.
Used frisbee to connect to wifi (sns does not work well on this EEE-PC).
Gnome player works well on this hardware. Playing 720p with video acceleration (not possible on this HW).
Will install some packages, and try some more.
Anything you would like me to focus on..?
Feels good to be back....

@Volhaut as of now try to use bluetooth on your pc especially sending files from X-Slacko Slim also try to connect MTP devices and transfer some files
Bluetooth
Posted: Wed 03 Jul 2019, 11:14

Hi mistfire,
The X101CH has an Atheros AR9285 wireless/Bluetooth chip.
This is recognized (using lspci)
The ATH9K driver is loaded (kernel modules)
But there is no Bluetooth ("no adapters plugged in").
Any tips how I can debug..?
Regards,
Volhout

@Volhaut use dmesg command
MTP connection
Posted: Wed 03 Jul 2019, 11:54

Hi mistfire,
used Samsung A6 phone to test MTP.
Phone is recognized, popup launched for both camera and mtpdevice.
Was able to connect to both after many retries.
Camera:
shows folder "store00001" and nothing in it when opening the folder.
MTPdevice:
Shows 2 folders, Card and Phone
The Card folder showed the usual folder list, including DCIM (photo's).
Opening the DCIM folder showed my 2 folders, one of them the Camera folder.
When opening the camera folder (some 2000 pictures) the system froze.
(on my windows PC it slowly builds the folder content, but puppy showed nothing for several minutes. Then I closed off, did not wait if it would do something in an hour or so, the 2000 pictures are roughly 8 gigabytes of data, so my X101CH with 1G ram would definitely choke sometimes.)
Somethin odd: when unmounting popups where shown that data is still to be written to Camera and also for MTPdevice. Odd, I did not perform any write action. These popups never disappeared or timed out.
The retries:
The Camera sometimes refused to mount, even after repeated tries. The MTPdevice did mount more reliable. On my phone I have to enter my login before it allows access on MTP. It looks like the timeout on puppy is somewhat short for someone my age..

MTP device and bluetooth

Hi mistfire,
Spend some more time on the 2 items you requested information about.
Bluetooth: I fear I cannot help you there. I have ubuntu installed in the X101CH netbook, and even ubuntu cannot use bluetooth. looked into this through ubuntu forums, and the way to make it work is replace the wifi module, The AT9285 apperntly comes in 2 configurations, one does not support bluetooth. My other laptop (acer C720) does support bluetooth, but had problems booting on X-slacko-slim, I reported earlier about that.
MTP device: in addition to previous mail, when you can contact the android phone it works quite well. I can browse phone and watch video's, pictures, play music, etc....
The ony problem is in connecting the phone. When pulgging in there are several popups for Camera and MTP device. Like it is trying to connect multiple times, or multiple instances of the same phone.
I choose to "quit" the opoup for the camera, and it did not return.
There was a single quick popup with "MTP device lost, and another popup inviting it to mount again.
After 2 or 3 attempts to mount it finally worked.
Once this is achieved, you can mount and unmount (tried some 10 times or so) and all works correct.
It looks like ther is something fishy in the order of thing that need to happen to mount the MTP device. I cannot substanciate this but it looks as if the popup on the phone that asks to allow access related to an earlier try to mount.And that that status was carried over to the popup that actually was successful.
I am hopeing to describe it correctly.
Now I am going to install the UK keyboard, because currently I am searching for incorrectly labeled keys...

It's indeed a GREAT pup... but I am unable to set it up in spanish. Tried that link to no avail. I tried langpack_woofce_es-20150315.pet and lang_pack_es-0.4-w5 from repo... and failed miserably (not all of them at once, obviously). What am I missing?
Thx in advance.
