Classic Pup 2.14X -- Updated 2 series

[ttuuxxx]

Thanks rick, yes I'm still not sleeping my nights when my wife is doing her 24hr shifts, plus I have a cold and go back to work on Monday. Its a shame about that wireless not working right, I might have to revert back to the older network setup and ditch the auto wired net feature that broke the wireless.
oh well it was nice while it worked

Thank you ttuuxxx for taking the time to make the two packages for the ipw2100 module.
I installed both packages plus your earlier wireless fix.
Result: wireless interface still not detected.

did you try the wireless fix from page 284 ?

ttuuxxx,
Thanks for your quick response.
Yes, I did try the wireless fix from page 284 together with the two packages for the ipw2100 you made.

maybe PM shinobar about how he achieved it... I applied his work to puppy arcade and as far as I know, wireless still works (if the modules are found and working obviously...) ... I say "as far as I know", as I have been unable to get my Eee PC connected (my only wifi PC), but I can't with any pup4.... I literally have never had anything older than puppeee working with wifi!

One last thing re: wireless networking ... 214X is the only Puppy that I have found so far that automatically reconnects to the network after a suspend / resume cycle. This coupled with its ability to make sound work painlessly on my Thinkpad 600X have made it my permanent OS for that laptop.

Cheers again all and thanks ttuuxxx for a very functional and useful Linux OS that is particularly friendly with old hardware ...

My rant post...Acer netbook works with Kinda Lucid Puppy 006.

Iguleder revised 4.3.1.

But no pick on the revision by ttuuxxx.

And I will retry one of ttuuxxx's earlier Classic Pup 2.14X
the latest would not work, but I have the wireless packages on
my multi USB in the 2.14 folders.

Pretty good combo, Classic Pup 2.14x and Firefox 5.......

[Volhout]

TTuuxxx,

You may want to take a look at Frisbee (from jemimah). It does a great job in connecting and reconnecting. Bot wireless and wired (I use it on Puppeee in a varietey of environments). It is not "ueber"-fast, but reliable,and supports a mix of DHCP and fixed IP connections.

P.S. what happened with the "revival of 4.3.2" ? Is it iced again ??

[wuwei]

Confirming Firefox 5 running smoothly in 214x.

Downloaded the tar.gz from the Mozilla site, unpacked to /mnt/home and dragged the starter to the desktop.

(Frugal install to HDD)

Hi,

I would like to know if Firefox 5 runs faster than firefox 4 in Puppy 2.14X.

Does anybody has made a benchmark between firefox 3, 4 and 5 in this great Puppy version?.

I also read somewhere that Firefox 5 have better memory management than previous releases and corrected the memory hungry requirements present in Firefox 4, is that true?

Need help...Is the absolute latest version of 2.14x the top7 iso? I was referred to 2.14x but unsure of which iso to download....there are 200+ pages in this thread...Wow!

Thanks.

Thanks...Can I use the chromium 6/7 browser in top7?

I'm asking because I'm looking for a puppy that runs well on my IBM A22p which is getting to be retro itself....Yes Chromium seems to do fine on it so I would rather use that over FF4.

I don't know about Chromium. However, my experience is that ttuuxxx's coding is darn good. I wouldn't be surprised.

However, before installing new software, I would recommend backing up your pupsave (I'm assuming that you are running a Frugal system).

Also, if Top7 doesn't do what you want, there is also Wary (which is designed for retro machines). And I've had pretty good luck with Lupu 5.20 (5.25 is the most recent) on old machines -- including an old 300 MHz Win98 laptop...

Looks nice and I wish I could make better use of top7 but for some reason when I try to connect to the wireless and I click on the wireless button in the connection wizard the cpu goes to 100% and nothing comes up. I tried this on both of my laptops....an IBM a22p with pcmcia card and a Lenovo R61i with internal wireless. I found it curious how with both the cpu went to 100% after clicking the wireless button to configure it....

I decided to try a new copy so I downloaded it again and tried it again with the exact same results. What gives there?

[JonT]

Indy452, we know that there are wireless problems but so far only one has been found and the fix appears not to work for everyone. You can get the one fix from here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... start=4256. Hope it works for you.

You could use 214Xtop6.2, page 1 of this thread. Of course it is missing a few things that top7 has.

The specs I find for the Lenovo R61i indicates that it is quite enough machine to run the latest Puppy. Did you try Lupu 5.25?

I use 5.2.5 on the R61.

Its an issue with the wireless wizard that I have. Actually 2.14x seems to run good on the a22p as well its just getting connected wirelessly using the old fashioned wireless utility that slows me down. (perhaps I'm used to Barrys simple connection wizard?)

Ahhh..sorry, I lost track of which machine we were working on...

Still, if the a22 is 1GHz, as this indicates:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... UVKVX.html

It would probably handle Lupu 5.25 fine.

I ran Puppy 4.3.1 (which in my experience is more hardware intensive) on my Asus netbook, 900MHz.

Also, I think when you pull up the connection wizard, you are given a choice (or at least you are in 5.20). I'll have to look at my laptop, as I needed the old wizard to get my modem to work (while travelling).

What adjustment should be made so that I get a "normal" display of an account in Rox?

I want entries to be regular length. The default setting is limiting entries to 7 characters long. I want to get rid of those #@$%^ red lines! (See attachments)

weird if you go to the top of rox where the column says Name and type, if you get your mouse in the middle of both column titles it should now have a arrow pointing left and right. now hold your left mouse button down and drag the column to the right to make it larger.
