Sorry ended up working a very long day to day but here is an update.

SD cards recognized if in @ boot but I have some info on getting hotplug to work I will play with that.

Wireless works and was able to connect with wep

Will have openbox and cairo dock and previous software.

Mic and soundcard work but volumes are low on both still hoping to get alsa compiled for mu .27 kernel, and that this will fix this.

Haven't even looked at suspend yet but hope to have something working.

rndis for internet connection

#35 Post by Alley »

I'm also trying to get tethering to work over USB with my Windows Mobile 6 phone. Should be easy, just requires 3 complied files from latest version of rndis-lite as explained in the forum here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 827#251827
Easy enough, just substituting 3 files out for a newer compiled version.

Problem is, if this goes to a later beta kernel those 3 files will need to be recompiled, and the developer in that thread won't be able to as he's on 2.6.25.16. Is this something you might be able to wrap in as you're working on this? It would give the ability for anybody with a WM6 phone to use Internet Connection sharing on their phone and use their phone as their internet connection without having to deal with arcane and semi-random GPRS modem settings that the carriers don't like to release and half the time give incorrect info about....

Thanks for all your work,
Alley

Acerone puppy works on AsusEEE 900 too

#36 Post by Dromeno »

I have just tested the acerone puppy (with ath0 and eth0 build in) on my Asus EEE 900 as well as on my friends Acer One

wireless, sound and camera are working on both

sound is not very loud though but that appears to be the case with all puppy distros on all computers I have tested so far.

But it is great that it is working (especially wireless), one singe puppy on the two most popular netbook (mini laptop) computers of today.

Can anybody test it on a MSI wind?

There really should be a general Puppy4Netbooks distro on the main puppylinux.org site!

SD cards in acerone puppy

#37 Post by Dromeno »

addition:

SD &SDHC cards are recognized by Asus EEE 900 but indeed not by the Acer yet. But that is a detail. Can't wait for the final version though

SD cards still a problem for me

On my One, it locks up during boot if an SD card is present, either a 1Gb SD or a 2Gb SDHC, either slot. :(

My AAO is a basic Linpus one (8Gb SSD, 512Mb RAM), dual booting Puppy and Linpus via Grub - Linpus is sda1 (6Gb), Puppy is on sda3 (1Gb).

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Best regards

I found the same thing myself when I tried the 411 iso. Also, I couldn't get the "double-tap for left mouse click" working on the trackpad, even though I enabled it.

tap for click

#42 Post by Alley »

Jaycb, I had trouble with that at first, but discovered it worked after creating the save file, rebooting with the save file, then making the change, then rebooting.

ymmv.... for me worked like a charm after that.

Thanks Alley, I'll try that.
Thinking about it, it's pretty obvious really if it's running "live".
Doh!

Any available pet to get wireless work with wep yet?
It feels wrong to use a cable on a laptop :(

It can be a challenge. I found after installing another distro my ssd card was recognized correctly and I could install. I will try tonight on a pristine aspire one and post procedure. If the linpus uses grub you should be able to copy the files and add an entry to grub.

I am going to keep this on one thread now..this one as this is a derivitive.
New ISO coming withing the hour. Try out your function keys and your wifi switch. All work with feedback except the switch monitor. If any one has this working with xrandr please tell me how.

Ok here it is

ftp://puppy:puppylinux@ftp.servage.net/ ... 410-27.iso

I actually tested this one. Only thing of not is that you will need to turn up pcm and master to get reasonable volume, once booted click at the bottom of the screen to see cairo-dock.

As for an install to the internal card the easiest way is......

Boot in puppy
click on sda1 icon on desktop
mount sda1
right click/new/directory........name directory puppy
click on desktop icon for drive your puppy is running from, probably sdc
drag and drop pup-410.sfs/initrd.gz/vmlinuz to the new folder
in the root of the hardrive/sdcard look for a boot folder
go into it, then the grub folder.
open the file called grub.conf in a text editor

add the highlighted items

default=1
timeout=0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

title Linpus Linux RCD
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage ro root=LABEL=linpus vga=0x311 splash=silent loglevel=1 console=tty1 quiet nolapic_timer
initrd /boot/initrd-splash.img

title Puppy
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /puppy/vmlinuz psubdir=puppy nosmp pci=noacpi pfix=noram
initrd /puppy/initrd.gz



save reboot and you are good to go.

Craig
