What about the .cmd files???

Does *all* of /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod, go into the DEV???***
As far as I know just the .h files go to the dev.

Ha! I just did a Pfind and got 16000 hits for ".c".. all in /usr/src/linux/2.6.33.2/.. er yes, kernel src is loaded! :lol:

Only other .c files are in /usr/share/doc, usually as examples.

Hi Mick, thanks for the reply,

When you run ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run and it auto-compiles Catalyst, you end up with 69 .c, .h, .o, and .cmd files under /lib/modules/fglrx, plus modules.order, modules.ofmap, and modules.ccwmap.

I'm wondering what to do with these. If they don't need to be in the regular Catalyst .pet, then I can split them off into a DEV and have the regular .pet be that much smaller. At least, that's my thinking.

Pity MU is so busy, he'd know for sure.
I reckon, once compiled, the .c and .o files are useless. The .h are the ones needed for compiling against. I don't know about the .cmd files I'm afraid.
The .h files could certainly go in a _DEV package, wouldn't be needed for everyday use I wouldn't think.

I'm still wrestling with compiz on my radeon 9200pro, not supported by catalyst 10.10.. did you know 10.11 is oot, within the last 24hrs?

.cmd files are commonly used in Windows (as an alternative to .bat). I'm not sure why it's in a linux installer, though.

237 usage report

I am using this on a day to day basis
Every time I run the computer I have to run the
audio wizard. If I am trying to run a youtube/flash video, I have to run the wizard twice. The bottom right audio icon and the woof woof bark is very helpful.

The new ATI radeon graphic driver whilst allowing me to run compiz in KDE has effected flash. If I try and run full screen I get not a 'black screen of death' but a white one (never seen that before)
- in that situation press ctrl + alt + backspace
and type xwin jwm
at prompt (most will know this)

Before running the ATI driver, Seamonkey was very stable - now it has a tendency to crash.

If dragging .ASF video files into gnomeplayer
the video comes and disappears and I get audio only . . .

Being aware of the above I am able to use 237 very well
Thanks guys :)

Thanks for reply. I tried, but Gericom has an lousy support. Nothing for Linux. I also searched some other manufacturers without success til now.

Samba

#1103 Post by shinobar »

Finally, i got success with shared printer via samba.
My problem is the linux driver does not work.
But i realized the Windows client do not use the linux driver but of Windows. :idea:

Updated SFS.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60836
Easy to set up shared folder almost out-of-the-box.
Sharing printer is not so easy but as for the samba settings, the SFS has well prepared cofig file sample.

I recommend rcrsn51's Samba-TNG for PET.

icons and program problems

#1105 Post by eeepuppy »

Hello, I am a senior member of puppy and are passed
from relise 4.3.1 to 5.1.1 and then the luci-237.
By doing this, I saw that the desktop is changed as follows:
Standard icons have disappeared (see the pic).
The program xplns does not start (see the pic)
icon in the icon tray bar of the opera program appears to work but is confused.(see the pic)
I'm sure that there is a simple solution, but I was not able to
find it.
Am looking forward to your help. Thanks in advance.

Lucid Puppy 5.2 Base Luci-237 New Version NOV 13

#1108 Post by Billtoo »

I have 237 installed to a 4gb flash drive.
This pc has an ATI Radeon X1600PRO PCIE graphics card installed in it.
I bought the card 3-5 years ago (can't remember) but it's considered a
"legacy" card by ATI as far as the commercial driver is concerned so
I'm using the Xorg_High-1.1-Lucid driver in quickpet.

So while the commercial driver is great for the newer ATI cards the
Xorg_High-1.1-Lucid driver works great for "legacy" cards.

Agreed. In my opinion, the easiest way to add a print server to a Samba file server is with P910nd. Then you don't have to use CUPS on the server side at all.

Yes.
And the Xorg_High driver might even be less troublesome for some newer cards (see Lobster's recent post).

Having a bit of trouble with( AMD k CPU scaling tool requiring to reset it each boot .
Stu90, tazoc and I are working on this. I believe tazoc does it all with a file in /root/Startup.

My recommendation is to wait for luci-238 and see if it works as it should out of the box. Thanks.

There is a thread at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60846

Lobster, Have you updated flashplayer?http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -lucid.pet

It will be updated in luci-238.

new wacom driver

#1114 Post by don570 »

I was successful with the new wacom tablet driver of charlie6
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=135
installing with wacom bamboo tablet.

I tried it on lupq511 and luci236 and it now
allows the proper shutdown procedure
so that a pupsave file can now be created.

______________________________________

mtpaint 3.34.57 works when the tablet preferences are
set up in the following manner....

Set 'stylus' to 'screen'
The other tools leave disabled.

Don't forget to tick 'opacity' and 'size'
or the pressure effect won't be seen .
