The Official Release of Lucid 5.25 (Lucid Five Twenty-Five)

[cowboy]

Playdayz: thank you.

Actually, LuPu 5.2 (and 5.1.1) have been the best behaved puppies for me. I initially booted to desktop without a problem, but later ran xorgwizard (as I'd done that with other puppies) and used that setting. Both methods work, though they generate different xorg.conf files. Both however, in the drivers, have an entry for .810_drv that is a symlink to the intel_drv, and that seems to work better than puppy derivatives that do not support that, like the more recent spups (which run a later version of Xorg, i think?)

anway, under the TMI heading, I'm attached results for:

I hope all that provides some useful data for you, in some way. Again, thanks for your work with Puppy 5, and I apologize for the lameness of the cut and paste above, but perhaps it will serve some purpose.

[bigpup]

Could you send or post the output of the command lspci? Open a terminal an enter

Code: Select all

lspci >> test.txt

.

And then you can copy and paste from the file /root/test.txt into the message box. Thanks.

I copied this and made a scripted file you can click on to run this test.

[rerwin]

rerwin - I seem to have the same chip, the 82845G, in my 2002 era HP Pavilion desktop. While I haven't had a problem with Lucid, I have had difficulties with Spup which seems to use a later version of Xorg than Lucid 5.2.

Were you able to boot to desktop with the new version of Luci? Did you accept the initial setup? or have you had better luck running the Xorgwizard?
I've always been up in the air about which driver to choose there - intel, i740, or i810.

When I first boot up with Luci 254, I must enter the argument, i915.modeset=0 (as well as pfix=ram), to override the i915.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d. I take the defaults as Luci proceeds through bootup. Then I reboot and create a pupsave file, using the modeset argument again. Then I delete /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf file and reboot again, now without any arguments. All is normal from there on. I do the first reboot before the deletion because the removal may not survive the first reboot, due to quirks of the layered file system.

The module that gets loaded is intel_agp; I do not get into selecting any alternate. I infer from your "no problem" comment that the presence of the i915.conf file does not hang you up with the black screen at bootup. Is that correct? If so, then we need a way to discriminate between your case and mine -- it could get nerdy.
Richard

Edit: I just reviewed your posting above and see that you have rev 3 of the graphics card, while I have rev 1. That's a starting point!. R

[playdayz]

Oh rerwin, I am glad you are here for this I was sad to see that you both have 82845 Brookdale-G. I see you already have seen one difference--it is already nerdy, dude! I will be happy to distinguish between just these two cards--as I said in a pm I am willing to bet that yours is the exception based on our previous results.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tested guvcview with my $10 webcam and I worked right off the bat. At least to show and save the video. I didn't get the built-in microphone working--after I had worked the other day to get the mic working with gtkRecodMyDesktop. But it was a different mic input--usb vs. audio card--so I can use my regular mic.

So what verdict is emerging about luvcview versus guvcview?

[chrismt]

I noticed something, after Luci 253, I am having to always click reset wireless config every start up to make Pwireless work with my usb Realtek modem

I wonder why

By the way, Dejan555 updated Pidgin to version 2.7.11

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64385

I always like the Pidgin update by Dejan

[James C]

Everyone seems to be having fun with the new graphics problems so I grabbed an old Dell off the shelf with the famous (or infamous) Intel 845 graphics chip.

Live pfix=ram.....booted straight to the correct working desktop. Since installed Xorg_High and Firefox.

Just for comparison purposes, I've now booted SlackPup 099 live pfix=ram where I went through xorgwizard and accepted the default driver. No problems in either.

I've localized the puppyhelp application so it will
automatically open a HTML file on your hard disk

For example if you are using French, clicking on the
Help Desktop Icon will open a help file that is in French.
Try it.

I've included locals for German, French and Spanish.

It would be nice to have it included in Lucid Puppy.
It also works in Wary.

Download and install these two pets:

puppyhelp-1.0.pet
puppyhelp_NLS-1.0.pet

Ok, in spup atm but no problems! this machine has 511 installed with a widescreen monitor. It only boots usb, cd drive broken . I'll make a luci-254 stick and test that, back in a mo

Everything is fine in luci-254, booted to the correct desktop. Only issue is that I get the high res console when dropping out of X, no big deal , always happened on this box.

Cheers

[Minnesota]

Plugged in my USB zd1211rw dongle.

Personalize settings box was on the screen. Went immediately to Connect desktop button. Module was found, so I clicked on wlan0.

Continued, took Puppy Network Wizard as usual. Clicked Wireless, clicked SCAN at the top... NO NETWORKS FOUND... now I knew better.

Booted 520...Jan version... found networks, same seq.

If you answer OK to setting then perform wizard.. networks found in 524. Humm Or if you have USB dongle installed at CD boot... it finds networks.

OK, boot CD, Plug in USB module.........
THEN - let all settle down till the icon on at the bottom shows the firewall....then scan....and you get networks.

SO.... this is a timing issue... does not need direct addressing.. but hope the information helps others when you go live.

Yes, boots straight to a correct working desktop with no additional input.All I did is set the time zone and caps lock....... no black screen. Works fine.

01micko also has the same basic chipset as rerwin and James C.

James C and Cowboy, rerwin requests that you send the output of the command

That gives the device id#'s which might help. Thanks.

Noticed that as well here.

James C

Yours looks identical to mine, in which I have no issues apart from small console fonts outside of X, but that could be because it doesn't know how to handle the newish widescreen.

Seems there are many different versions of 82845G!

Thanks to all of you for jumping into this discussion of the 845 black screen issue. As a way to further sort out a way to determine which flavor of the card has the problem, could some of you with this card check for more info, by running this command:

grep '0x2562' /tmp/udevtrace.log

My NetVista has:

Code: Select all

add_0000:00:02.0_pci_0x8086_0x2562_pci:v00008086d00002562sv00001014sd00000267bc03sc00i00

I am hoping the ones that work have something different in the pci: modalias string. Thanks.
Richard

A thought I just had: When I looked at my BIOS setup yesterday, I noticed that the VGA aperture is set to 64, which seems small. I think it can go to 256, but that would use up half of my RAM - or is that KB, not MB. Could that be a factor in the black-screen issue? I will test. R

Greek to me!

James C, I suspect that wont work for you as the product ID is different to mine, weird.

Cheers

BTW, it's a compaq-EVO 500, one of those slimline desktops with mostly laptop parts. (circa 2002)
