Wireless Adapter/Access Point |
|
Can anyone give me a manufacturer, and model number for
Devices that are known to work with Fluppy 13 that require no
compiling of drivers?
I am looking for a USB plugin(prefered) or an access point
that I can connect via usb or cat 5.
Thanks
Thom

There is an old thread on keyboard country settings. See my post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=383442#383442
Yesterday I set the Danish keyboard for a friend. We could get every character except the euro.
Rt-Alt e should have given euro, it produced nothing. But shift-Rt-Alt e produced c with a slash across it, so at least he got the cents symbol.

Thanks, Shep. How many euros to the cent?! Most distros will display the euro with CTRL-ALT-4. That is supposed to be the 'standard' keypress. Amazing but Linux Mint Xfce is delinquent in this regard. Not sure whether this is an Ubuntu or Mint Xfce, alone, feature because Debian has no such problem. Too much partisanship, bad education in some quarters?! I imagine that both S Africa and Ireland are well aware of euros.

Really? I don't get anything printed in Wary.
The Danish keyboard has the euro symbol on the e key already. There is the option in Puppy's keyboard setup to set the e key to give a euro. It just didn't work.
I'll pass on the ctl -alt 4 suggestion.

I've only tested on Intel processors. If it needs scaling not provided by the acpi_cpufreq module, it's probably not working out of the box.
You might want to try the Frequency scaling utility pet and see if that helps.

Jemimah, your are into Asus? I am into Acer but acer use the N270 Atom maybe one of your Netbooks do too?
Do you have any clue why the Temp in the hardware info says it is 27 Celsius all the time.
Does the Mobo in Acer need another kind of program to give right temp?
Acer D255 has another CPU and taht one are up in 45 Celsius and going down to maybe 37 when the fan has worked on it.
So that CPU seems to be read by same program.
Sorry not Fluppy related I am in Snow now. But you knowing those small Netbooks I dared to ask you.

You can get the legacy keymap selector by picking "more" for the main language. If you have better luck with the legacy version it would be worth mentioning your problem to Shinobar so the FirstRun program can be fixed.

If I recall, you need the acer_hdf kernel module. This is in Fluppy but you may need to request it for snow puppy if it's not there.

Ah much appreciated. Yes I guessed something was missing for it stayed at 27 despite being some 34 degrees from outside
Thanks indeed, I ahve been wondering about this temp thing for a long time. Feels good to know it is not me not getting it. It really need a thing that allow it to do what one expect.
I tell Pemasu about it in case him want to know such info.

I had forgotten about that and when I searched came up empty - thanks!
I went here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=424549#424549
... then downloaded and installed cpu-scaling-ondemand-1.3-3.pet:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=29677
Then I tried some options until the AMD k8 worked.
It set up the CPU range as 1100000 to 2100000 so then I went back and changed it to 500000 - 1100000
I have several pages running, including a video, and so far it seems to be holding the temp at 66C

€+key |
|
Shep,
On the Danish keyboard R(right)-alt+e should make the € appear. Danish has dead-keys, to make umlauts (]-key) and accents (=-key) and other marks, exponents and so forth, and if you have hit a dead-key somewhere before the R-alt+e the stroke will only cancel the dead-key. You have to then hit the e again, still holding the R-alt, to make the € (or backspace which cancels dead-key strokes like any others).
a hanging dead-key stroke is the usual that causes things that should appear to not appear. If a double-tap doesn't get you a €, go back through the XKB wizard, remove and reinstall the Danish keyboard, hit the "activate new settings" button again, open a new abiword, open office or whatever, and try again. Old settings sometimes persist in old program-windows.
However, if all else is working for you, if the [ key makes å and the ' key makes ø, the R-alt+e combo should make €.
If the Danish layout is an added one, not default, if your usual keyboard is UK-English R-alt+4 should give you a €, and if your usual is US-International, R-alt+5 gives the € (I don't think the basic US layout provides any options). Setting the XKB group-shift option permits setting a key or key-combination for quick switching between layouts.
And a deluxe feature of Fluppy is an indicator aplet for the tray that shows the current keyboard. Start the aplet from the desktop pane of the control center the setup icon on the desktop starts. The aplet isn't persistent, though, so you have to restart it each time you boot your Fluppy.

Fluppy smooth on Dell Mini 9 Subject description: Best puppy install experience yet! |

| Roy wrote: | jemimah,
I finally got around to loading Fluppy13 onto my Mini-9 netbook (frugal) and... wow! Connected straight away to my rooted Android cell phone -- with the Broadcom wl module as the default! That's terrific!
Buttttttt.... then I turned off my cell phone and went to a wireless hotspot -- and Fluppy13 was determined to connect to my missing cell phone wifi (and nothing else). Finally deleted my cell phone's wireless profile and Fluppy connected to networks that were actually available.
I generated a before and after diagnostics, if you are interested in seeing them. Just PM me if they might be of interest to you. One other thing that I did -- told Frisbee to ignore my ethernet connection -- shouldn't/didn't cause any problems with wireless, I would think.
-Roy | Yes, I too would like to report similarly fine results with my new install of Fluppy 13 on my Dell Inspiron 910 (Dell mini-9).
Since the Mini-9 has no CD drive, it's 100% USB as the OEM 8GB SSD is non-functioning, (locked itself when my sister had unknown issues - I tried but can't hash pw - suspect it is doa) and so far have had no problems, out-of-the-box it all works:
wifi/ethernet - good
video - good
sound - good
input devices - good
Drives/SD all mount
The only "problem" would be the same amazon.com crashing Midori issue that edoc is having. I plan on shifting to Firefox right away, will keep midori as backup/test. I like it, reminds me of FF2..maybe 1.x?
Thanks jemimah (and everyone)! Nice work! 
Still testing..and learning..mostly the latter..

I compiled the latest midori and the latest dev version of webkit yesterday. After patching a segfault in webkit, it seems to be working and Amazon doesn't crash. I need to continue testing, but I think we have an improvement.

Great news!
Midori is an excellent compact browser.

Midori Subject description: Midori |

Thanks for checking out the new Midori release. Hope it's a keeper with the bugs fixed. If it looks good ... would you please pack it as an SFS for us to use or would an SFS of it mess things up as it is our default Fluppy web-browser? Thanks for all your hard work on these Puppy projects. I use Fluppy and Eeepup very day ... Thank you ...KJ
