Altho I did a first boot with pfix=ram and selected to save to 3fs, IMHO, this stil doesn't work at the next boot.

Hi Béèm,
It appears to me that the PUPSTATE is indicating is that your installation is on an ext2 partition. This is what my PUPSTATE indicates for an installation on an ext4 partition.

Hi all,
Whilst waiting for Wary (I thought I would have xorg problems with Quirky 018/Samsung x05 laptop ) I downloaded the Q013_Q018 diff file and made an Q018 iso. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised to see the desktop come up. I thought I had selected the i810 driver during set up but report-video say that I have the VESA driver?

I ran pupradio in a terminal window using this url:
mms://thegulch.shacknet.nu:5119/Gulch

Here is what was displayed when it connected but no audio could be heard:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 15 in module: decode_audio

I terminated mplayer by stopping the playing with pupradio.

I am going to try mplayer by itself and see what happens.

Here is what I got with mplayer by itself:

I terminated mplayer after 30 seconds and no sound with control C. I am posting this with Quirky 018. I do like it. If someone can suggest another mms stream, I will try it out to make sure it is not a problem with the source. Thanks for any help.

[rjbrewer]

Just Greg;

Here's a mms test sample:

http://itc.virginia.edu/network/audio-streaming/test-off-grounds.html

With my 4.3.1 or 4.1.2 installs in which I have mms enabled in
seamonkey it works.
With Quirky I just get "mms is not a registered protocol".

Same for any video mms streams at this site:

The Netgear WG111T usb dongle has worked using ndiswrapper on every pre 4 series pup that I've tried. Used it a lot on 214R and 3.01 (several varieties), and currently on 214X. I think I also got it to work with MeanPup (2.02) as well.
As I mentioned before, if I boot a fresh boot (manual frugal) and use SNS, I get the following:
ERROR: Windows driver does not seem to work, it has been uninstalled

If I try Dougal's nettwork wizard I get;
netwg11t: driver installed
device (1385:4251) present

Nothing happens after this. Looked in Process Manager and connectwizard is still running (two instances) as is net-setup.sh (twice)and connectwizard_2nd

I tried running modprobe ndiswrapper in a terminal, and it just hangs, so maybe the problem lies here.

If I save and reboot, then try the network wizard again, I get;

Loading ndiswrapper failed with the following message:
Maybe try a different driver

Strange thing is I did get it to work the once, but nothing worked after a reboot.
I use WPA-PSK. The router was supplied by my employers, and is set up that way, so can't change it (use it with XP laptop).

Also, it has a hidden ESSID. Your SNS does not seem to prompt for this, so if could not connect anyway.
Usually with 4 series and later, I need Pwireless2 to get a WPA connection.
I have attached the message log from /var/log. Yep, there are plenty of errors showing up.

MESA video experiment

For you guys who have reported issues with the video in Quirky, like a green-tinge screen, or it is just not working, try this.

If you can get it going with the 'vesa' driver, get online and run the Puppy Package Manager.

In the 'Find' box type "mesa", then download and install the mesa 7.6 pet pkg.

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, comment-out the "disable glx" line.

Exit to the prompt and run 'xorgwizard'

...let me know if that makes any difference.

Hello,

1. Conky 1.8.0

I tried to compile conky 1.8.0 on Quircky 18 - but it seems a package named "lua5.1" is missing...

how to fix that?

2. ATI drivers

Tried to install ATI drivers.

I have the DevX and kernel source sfs files added / and they are loaded.

But during installation ATI log tells me:

cat fglrx-install.log
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Message] Kernel Module : Found kernel module build environment, generating kernel module now.
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
Error:
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/build/include do not match current kernel.
they are versioned as ""
instead of "2.6.33.2".
you might need to adjust your symlinks:
- /usr/include
- /usr/src/linux
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult readme.
#

clue to that?


over and out,

Johan

[Fishy]

Tried your fix Barry. Downloaded and installed mesa 7.6, controlled out. Edited xorg.config file as directed. Ran xorgwizard. Still have green hue to screen, possibly even darker. Vesa works.

ATI HD 3300 integrated graphics.

Cheers

PS. will download Wary and see if X runs properly.

There is a major problem with quirky and puppy 431 with the latest ayttm. Because of the change in spellcheck to Enchat, it's working only when using english language. I checked with greek, spanish and german and it isn't working at all.

The error in console is:
