That could work. I'll try it. Also maybe making you enter the passkey twice would reduce errors.

I can't download from drop.io- I get a login page. It says if I was not expecting to login, then the drop may have expired. What to do??

I have a new battery patch for Pwidgets. If you believe that the one I posted earlier was causing problems this should fix it. Don't worry that it say's "old".. :lol: , I just made it :wink: The syntax was incorrect in the first patch, it is corrected now.

This will overwrite the battery config in Pwidgets, no need to uninstall previous version.

Cheers

Gerry, the drop.io site is working for me. Can you try it again?

01micko, that's for working on this! I will include your fixes in the next version which I will hopefully be done with next week.

outtaspam, sorry I forgot about your menu issue. I'll take a look tomorrow.

Thanks jemimah!

This puplet suits me because I have a eee, I have been helping ziggy with pwidgets since the start and I like tint2 8)

Only thing I got to do now is figure out that freeze on the 701SD when you hit Fn-F2 to disable wireless, we'll get there

The new version will have a work around for the wireless on the 701sd. If I can find one cheap, I may just buy it and see if I can solve the issue properly. No one mentioned this problem with the old kernel, and no one's really complaining about it on the internet, so that makes me think I'm missing something.

I stumbled around the forums and found the solution by altering the Categories entry:

They now appear in the Graphics menu.

hi jemimah,

Ok, I've got myself boxpuppeee 2 and all is well so far. I have been a little out of the loop with the eee testing so a question.. before I crash my machine. .

What is the status of the Fn-F2 bug (wireless hotkey) on the 701SD? No, don't answer, curiosity got the better of me!

Other hotkeys seem fine. Perhaps a conditional test for the 701SD could at least stop the crash, perhaps giving an error message til we manage to resolve this bug.

Cheers

A nasty bug. I saved the session as you do, no prob, all saved but on a reboot it didn't load. I see the sfs is named eee-431.sfs but the save is named pupsave.2fs. I renamed to eeesave.2fs and it loads, so I gather you may have overlooked that detail.

I've uploaded a new version with a fix for the save bug.

I did change the logic of the wlan script and one person told me the new version didn't crash on the 701SD. Apparently, that's not entirely true. :(

Apparently the wireless toggle panic for the 701SD exists on Ubuntu now too.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/494287

Guess I'm not missing something obvious after all. :)

I guess I'll just add a work around and hope it gets fixed in the next kernel.

Hi jemimah

Code: Select all

MODEL=`cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/model_name`
it returns

Code: Select all

701SD
in boxpuppeee, I just checked. Perhaps you could find it useful for the Fn-F2 bug and perhaps splash an error message.
That is the code I used for the condition of a 701SD in eee-control I worked on with tempestuous.

HTH :)

Thanks that could be useful.

If you get a chance could you try adding 'acpi_osi=Linux' to your kernel line in syslinux.cfg (or grub if you use that). Apparently this is needed on 2.6.32 but maybe it would help with this problem.

Ok,

added that to the line but no cigar, still crashes, worth a try though

First off let me say THANK YOU! This is my favorite distro for the eee 900. Only one small problem,

My university uses wpa2 enterprise encryption for our wireless network. Using puppeee 4.2 I made a wpa_supplicant script and was able to connect without a problem for the past couple months.

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/* 

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant2.conf  -B -dd

sleep 5

rm -f /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.info
rm -f /var/run/*.pid

dhcpcd -t 30 -h puppypc -d ath0
When I tried running the same script(other than changing ath0 to wlan0) in boxpuppeee I couldn't connect. When I compared the log from puppeee 4.2 with boxpuppeee I found an error:

Code: Select all

ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - wpa_driver_wext_set_drop_unencrypted
Setting scan request: 0 sec 100000 usec
Using existing control interface directory.
Added interface wlan0
Daemonize
After searching around I found bugs that suggest wpa_supplicant is conflicting with the mac80211
http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap ... 17954.html
I tried changing ap_scan=2 to 1 but it did not make a difference. I also found another report that it may be a kernel issue http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... ed-613144/

Has anyone else experienced this? If I can get this working I'm going to upgrade from 4.2 so any help would be appreciated.
