Hi Barry,

thanks for helping me.

Yes I did try your 4 step method. That was my first approach in a fresh spup 040.

In /usr/sbin/alsaconf, when restarting alsa at line 907

Code: Select all

     if [ -x $rcalsasound ] ; then
      echo Loading driver...
      $rcalsasound restart
    fi

/etc/init.d/alsa would be executed, but it doesn't have a restart option, only start and stop. In my testing this failed to restart alsa (no sound) until I rebooted. I fixed this by changing the beginning of /etc/init.d/alsa to

Code: Select all

case "$1" in
 *start)

Of course another fix would be to have alsaconf execute $rcalsasound with a start instead of restart.

Hi all,

Slackpup working well on IBM R50e laptop (made Hacao Linux series from 2.0 to 2009 CE).

Thanks,

Hi All,

I'm a newbie so don't know if my reporting will help. Of the recently released iso's Slackpup is the only one to boot to the desktop when I probe for a video driver. In Lucid and Quirky I have had to choose Xvesa as the computer freezes otherwise.

Wifi is working intermittently for me on Slackpup. I was having the same problem in Quirky but NOT in Lucid. If I use Dougal's network setup it works for only a short time. Using Barry's network setup it lasts longer. Oddly when I first boot up and try to use Barry's straight away it won't work but if I use Dougal's, wait for it to cut out, and then use Barry's again it works. Weird.

Anyway thought I'd let you know.

Thanks first to Barry for giving us all these things to try....

Trying out spup-040 from LiveCD on HP550 laptop, Thinkpad 600 laptop and on an AMD based desktop.

On HP550 laptop:
-Computer-
Processor : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 550 @ 2.00GHz
Memory : 2066MB (88MB used)
Operating System : Puppy Linux 0.04

-Multimedia-
Audio Adapter : HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
Agere Systems HDA modem with manufacturer:model id = 11c1:1040

-PCI Devices-
Network controller : Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g

**Wifi problems:
Can connect using Network Wizard but not with Simple Network Setup however connection is not remembered through a reboot.
Connection drops periodically see dmesg output ++++1++++ below - but is reconnected with this command:
iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxxxxxx
SAMBA via pNethood worked but the new Samba tools did not work for me - the buttons when clicked didn't seem to do anything.

**Modem problem:
Tried to force load modules agrmodem and agrserial - dmesg output ++++2++++ shows error messages - do I need to load something else??

**Sound problem:
Sound is muted on reboot and then springs into life after a time delay.

Other than these problems - much better with far fewer problems than recent tries to use lupu501, qret-120 and wary-030.
Successes were that mplayer played dvb-t ok and webcam worked out of the box.

Also tried on my AMD desktop and that seemed OK but on my Thinkpad 600 spup would not boot - strangely it started to boot and read stuff off the cd but then was unable to read the spup-040.sfs file and stopped - I guess I need a retro version for this age of hardware.

Cheers
Peter

**Wifi problems:

iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxxxxxx

I made a wireless tweak to the router settings then tried to reconnect - no go.

I have tried rebooting, logging on to the router via a cable and restoring the original settings, tried installing pwireless (it found no routers),.

I can "see" the router and am sitting below it 70/70 signal strength.

I just tried "iwconfig wlan0 essid wireless" but no joy.

I am guessing that whatever happened when I tweaked the router and rebooted is still stuck somewhere in a config file or elsewhere and that is what is preventing the Wifi nic from connecting.

This laptop and Wifi have been working fine, I use it every day at home and on the road, so there is no reason to believe it is a hardware failure.

Any thoughts as to how to purge/reset the Wifi settings in spup 040 so I can get my Wifi back, please?

peebee,

Agere Systems HDA modem with manufacturer:model id = 11c1:1040

**Modem problem:
Tried to force load modules agrmodem and agrserial - dmesg output ++++2++++ shows error messages - do I need to load something else??

I am not convinced that the issues with this modem have been resolved. I researched it a few months ago and concluded that work was still in progress in getting it to work reliably. I have on my "To Do" list to revisit the problem in the near future, to see what progress has been made. If you know of any linux distro in which the modem works, please tell me so I can see how they did it. Thanks.
Richard

The Wifi failure I am seeing is in wpa_supplicant

Is there somewhere that the Internet Connection Wizard stores wpa_supplicant information where something may be corrupted and needs to be deleted so a clean config may be created?

The last time I saw this it was in the transition from Spup 030 to Spup 040 and I had to move the Spup 030 savefile where the new Spup 040 boot could not find it in order to get a clean Spup boot and new savefile without whatever was corrupt in the Spup 030 savefile.

It is really frustrating to have to go to another room to hardwire the laptop in order to connect to the Internet!

Help??

EDIT:

Can I delete these and force them to be rebuilt?

/etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/CO:3F:OE:56:E6:EE:WPA2.conf

or

/etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/CO:3F:OE:56:E6:EE:WPA.conf

Should we get the Slackware version of Audacity here for spup 040?
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.0/audio/audacity/

Or is there another preferred source that will work, please?

edoc · #101 Post by **edoc** » Fri 23 Jul 2010, 01:31

I am seeing a "tty" error flash by when booting - but I forget where the bootlog is that would capture this.

Help, please?

petget worked from cli for an uninstall but exited with gtkdialog error when attempting an install.

I installed xfce from the puppy package manager which used the slackware repo and it worked fine, then since Xfce was installed I found the slackware 13.1 version of xfburn and installed it, it takes 3 packages to manually install, so I made a pet with all 3 packages included and removed the doc's, locales etc below is the package, but you need the xfce window manager installed with its deps for it to work.
also for many more xfce packages are located at

Also I converted the 902kb txz evince pdf and other format viewer package to a 402kb pet, by removing the extra's like dev,locales,help files.

I am guessing that I am not the only one who is unfamiliar with xfce, xfburn, and evince, so here is what I just learned:

About Xfce

"Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for various *NIX systems. Designed for productivity, it loads and executes applications fast, while conserving system resources." - Olivier Fourdan, creator of Xfce

Xfce 4.6 embodies the traditional UNIX philosophy of modularity and re-usability. It consists of a number of components that together provide the full functionality of the desktop environment. They are packaged separately and you can pick and choose from the available packages to create the best personal working environment.

Xfburn is a simple CD/DVD burning tool based on libburnia libraries. It can blank CD/DVD(-RW)s, burn and create ISO images, audio CDs, as well as burn personal compositions of data to either CD or DVD. It is stable, and under ongoing development.

Evince is a simple multi-page document viewer. It can display and print PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), DJVU, DVI and Portable Document Format (PDF) files. When supported by the document, it also allows searching for text, copying text to the clipboard, hypertext navigation, and table-of-contents bookmarks.

Here's a mahjongg game. Probably could be made much smaller if removed some of the tile themes, I'll think about updating it maybe.
Would like to change the control gui icons. I would have to edit the source code, if I get some free time
ttuuxxx

ps to use a different tileset open a terminal and type
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset real
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset gnome
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset gnome2
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset dorwhite
or
xmahjongg --bg green --tileset dorothys

a few people really loved the Gnome games lite I compiled on upup and later altered for dpup, well it works on Spup also with 3 extra libs. Gconf,Orbit,libtasn. Actually when I repackaged it, with the 3 extra libs it only grew 300kb, not bad at all, so Here's the gnomes games lite, it has most of the games and tons of card games, like 100+

also I packaged up a gimp-2.6.6-i486-1, with the missing deps from Slackware 12.1, its fast and stable. If you install python you'll get a few extra features
