Agere HDA modem

#76 Post by peebee »

Hi Iguleder

First of all many congratulations on Insidious Pup - you've done a great job of which you should be proud - lets hope your Army uses Linux and recognises and harnesses your talents while you are away.

This is just to report that although you very kindly included the drivers for the Agere 11c1:1040 HDA modem in your builds, for some reason they do not load - and strangely they don't seem to leave any error messages anywhere to give clues as to why they are not loading.

i.e. modprobe agrmodem gives no errors but afterwards lsmod shows that agrmodem is not loaded

Many thanks
Peter

Insidious Puppy 001

I have sound problems in inspu as well,after running okay for hours
the retrovol icon has disappeared from the tray and if I try to run it
from the console it does this:

# retrovol
Segmentation fault
#

from hardinfo:

Operating System
Version
Kernel Linux 2.6.32.26 (i686)
Compiled #2 SMP Tue Nov 23 21:36:48 GMT-8 2010
C Library GNU C Library version 2.11.2 (stable)
Default C Compiler GNU C Compiler version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-8)
Distribution Puppy Linux 0.00

Now if I run the Setup alsa Sound wizard it can't find any supported
sound devices.
And if I let it probe for legacy cards it can't find any of those
either.

Running alsamixer in the console gives this:

# alsamixer
cannot open mixer: Input/output error

Does alsamixer work? I remember I had similar problems with retrovol in the past.

EDIT: here's something I just compiled. This one plus gnome-alsamixer go into 002 :wink:

Segmentation fault
Barry Kauler posted today about this problem in luci 5.2 thread. It is probably newest woof related, at least partly.

This is a fresh install and the first screen shot shows retrovol and
alsamixer working fine.

The second screenshot shows after installing your new gnome alsa mixer
pet.

I tried installing your new pets on the install from yesterday but it
would just show an empty gnome alsa window and selecting "sound card
preferences" from the menu would make it crash.

I'll run this install today and see how it goes.

Failed to show the Ethernet option in the network dialogue. I have been able to connect in all other puppy's to the internet. I think this is my Ethernet card: "02:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)".

I'll check this. Maybe the kernel needs to be recompiled ... or maybe the kernel doesn't play nicely with Debian Sid.

What do you think - time for a new kernel (I'll take care of third-party drivers, modems are not needed because they won't compile)?

Try to install xf86-input-keyboard, it's a Lupu package.

And by the way, I started working on a 2.6.36.1 kernel package. This time I'm going to compile only nvidia drivers - modem drivers won't compile.

I have downloaded 001 and am about to look for the Broadcom wl wireless driver in it (for use on different computer -- a netbook), but see it is probably too late to ask about it if it is not there.

As a matter of curiosity, is there some secret or new procedure to print a web page to a .pdf? It is either not working for me or the new procedure is throwing me....

Love the speed and looks!

Hi jplt,

I'm afraid I can't help you any further.
I attached the package Iguleder advised, in case you don't have a Lupu copy lying around.
Just unpack it and place it in /root/.packages/builtin_files.

Hope that helps.

Roy - print, and choose "print to a file".

Bert - he needs the package, not the list of files in the package. I don't see it in the repo for some reason. :cry:

Thanks, but something is amiss on my end....

Brought up a random Google web page (see test-screenshot.png). BTW, great job on the PrntScrn keybinding!!!
Selected Icecat's File > Print > Print to file
Assigned name of 'test.pdf' and printed
Almost the entire 1st (of 3) page is blank in .pdf (ran the .pdf over the pinboard zip icon -- actually targz'd it -- for forum attachment).

How do I get rid of all that blank space Puppy inserted into the .pdf?

Improving the insidious puppy

#93 Post by mistfire »

Does all debs are supported? Is it also possible to install rpm, tgz and txz on PPM?

By the way this puplet is great! Is there a xfce version of it?

I suggest that include the following for better long-support and make insidous pup work more offline rather than online:

1. startmount for managing start-up programs
2. pcompile/petmaker to build a pet packages out of source code tarballs,
3. sfs converter for converting old sfs files to newer sfs, sfs installer/ sfs to pet installing for installing sfs modules

4. an apps that mounts the sfs modules on-the fly.
5. Add rar support in file archiving software.

Is it possible isolate root folder from home folder by default? it means that the home folder for storing documents and files will be at /root/folder_name instead of /root/ because of of hidden files and folder which part of an apps inside the /root/ even show hidden files is disabled. the files can be seen at GTK uploader or any file managers. It may accidentally deleted by the newbies or user.

Can't do a full install!

#94 Post by Tui »

Yes I did another reburn of the downloaded iso
and before doing so did an md5 to check if it compared
with that stated in this forum.

But still can't do an install to the HD

The script won't go past the CONTINUE & QUIT install window.

What am I missing?

Cheers Tui

Don't think you're missing anything. :)

I generally do manual frugal installs,so no problem there. I just failed trying to install via the installer on 2 machines myself.

First was my test box with a frugal of Insidious 001 on sda15, the installer detected that install and was supposed to continue while skipping that partition (same window you saw I guess) but it just quit.
Second was my main Linux box...same story,detected a Insidious sfs in a partition and just quit again. Big problem, no Insidious 001 files of any kind on that computer. :lol:

Believe we have a installer problem. :)
