Thanks for luciddc10,2.jpg Wallpaper

#2207 Post by mikeslr »

Hi futwerk,

Thanks for the new wallpaper. I wonder if anyone else realizes how much hard work you put in to create your artwork and the vision that had to precede it. Just wanted you to know it was appreciated.
Although I keep Lupu as a fall-back/work-horse, most of the time I currently run one of the precise-pups. Pemasu just came out with a new version that I thought could be better reflected by a more powerful and abstract wallpaper. So your work appeared just in time. A little editing in gimp eliminated the Lucid+ moniker.
And then, having gimp opened, I got carried away. The result was my new upup desktop (jpg attached), a new drive48.png and a new xonclock clock-face. I've also attached them if anyone wants them. Instructions for replacing the drive48.png --which shows up as the desktop drive icons-- can be found here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 1528348104

How to change xonclock's face can be found here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=602304

None of which would have been possible if you hadn't created the wallpaper for me to cannibalize.

Thanks

You will need the Lupu 528.005 iso

Depending on how Lucid is installed determines how to do the upgrade.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

I got a strange effect on a Notebook Fuijtsu LifeBook!
It looks like the Fn Key is activated constantly and deactivated by pressing the Fn Key. Exactly the opposite, as it should be. I can write this post only by pressing the Fn key constantly !

Do you have any idea/solution?

It is about the Lucid 528-4 / Lazy.

Hope it is okay to ask here first and if it is wrong forum
I ask in Beginners instead.

I had to switch to a new computer on on that one
I had Lupu 528-004 instead of latest 005 july.

Is it okay to reuse old savefile for -004
or do I really ahave to start all over and
manually add all the programs and tweaks and
so much to remember to do in right order?

Have any of you tested and got in trouble?

not an ideal solution though

Take more than a year as the main distribution in the full installation. When changing your computer's hard drive moved to an archive file, opened the drive alive and put grub. No problem.
Excellent distribution, and to fill the program has no equal.

Realtek wireless modules missing in recent Lupu versions

#2215 Post by otropogo »

My Toshiba laptop has built-in Wi-fi which in lupu 528 v.2 is recognized as wlan0 rtl819xSe, and for which the module RTL8191SEvB is available.

However, in the latest version of LupuplusLibre, the wlan is not detected, and no wireless Realtek pci modules are listed.

Is there some way I can load support for this hardware under lupuplus?

UPdate: Have discovered that when booting the latest lupupluslibre without my 2fs file, the wireless realtek 819 wireless pci modules are available in the load list. So it would seem that my 2fs file is somehow substituting another selection which doesn't include these modules.

I've never used the function which permits removal of bundled material, nor have I remastered, so whatever is happening occurred automatically, and I find that disturbing.

I don't want to abandon my 1.4GB 2fs file with all of its added applications and configurations, some of which may not be available in lupus 528.

So - is there a way to fix this problem while keeping my 2fs file?

As I understand from a google search, the later module for this device is rtl8192se_pci, which is already in lupupluslibre (which I run as my main puppy). Could you install the attached tool package and obtain a pdiag file for your lupupluslibre setup and, if easily do-able, do the same for your older lupu that works? It works the same as the old pmodemdiag tool -- just enter pdiag on a command line and upload the pdiag...tar.gz file it places in your /root directory. Thanks.
Richard

Update 12/28/2012: Uploaded correction to archive directory, after download number 9. As with pmodemdiag, the directory should be "pdiag...". But the previous version had it as "tmp/pdiag...". So if you told the tarball to extract to "/tmp", you would find the pdiag directory in /tmp/tmp/ instead of /tmp. There is no functional difference, so the old one is fine for testing.

Update 12/30/2012: Uploaded package to remove collection of potentially sensitive wireless connection data related to the network wizard, after download number 12.

Thanks for your interest, renwin. I installed the tool and ran it, but am unable to make sense of the output, as found in the /tmp/pdiag-20121226 folder.

Can you tell me which of the many files generated are relevant to this question? I would feel more comfortable knowing what I'm posting and limiting the content to information relevant to my configuration issue.

BTW - I had another look at the modules available in my copy of lupupluslibre (which I assume to be the latest version, although I don't know of any simple way to check), and there is no rtl8192se_pci in the list. The only wireless pci "rtl" module displayed is rtl8180.

If save file was made on the same computer, it should be OK.
If save file was made on one computer and you use it on a different computer, there could be problems.
The save file contains specific settings and hardware data for the computer it was originally made on.
The problems you may see are really dependent on the setting changes that have been made, hardware differences between computers, and program settings made in support of specific hardware.
No way of really giving a 100% yes or no answer to question.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Thanks, I where lucky it seemed to work.
But I had problem with getting Adobe flashplayer to work
so not sure what that was about. No need to answer
I will test to run FatDog 64 on it instead. Which has
Flashplayer built into the Seamonkey.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

otropogo,
You are right about the absence of rtl8192se_pci. I misread r8192se_pci as rtl8192se_pci in lupupluslibre. The files in the pdiag... directory that I would look at are chipnummod.txt, modules.alias and udevtrace.log. I don't think I have captured or generated any file named modules-list, and do not recognize the content you listed. Where did that come from?

With those 3 files, I would first look for the wifi device description and ID in chipnumod.txt (produced by pupscan), then find a line in the trace log related to your wifi device (vendor, device) hardware ID. That would tell me the device was detected. For example, my Broadcom wifi card has hardware ID 14e4:4320, so my log contains

Code: Select all

add_0000:01:09.0_pci_0x14e4_0x4320_pci:v000014E4d00004320sv00001737sd00000015bc02sc80i00
In my modules.alias file, I find

Code: Select all

alias pci:v000014E4d00004320sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ssb
The module is ssb; yours may not show a module in chipnummod.txt and may not have a match in modules.alias.

Most of that probably is obvious to you, but remember I am "flying blind" as to what the user is actually working with, until I find the above information. If you get a pdiag for the older lupu, I could see that the r8192se_pci driver is associated with the device.

The most important info is the hardware ID, which I can use in google searches for information about any driver issues for it. BTW, googling "r8192se_pci" yields only one hit other that this thread. It was not helpful. (Maybe is was actually a mistaken name.)

Given that you have r8192se_pci available, if the kernel version of the lupu CD is the same as that of lupupluslibre (2.6.33.2), try copying the module to that same location in lupupluslibre. Then run depmod. The module should show up in /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.alias and with a "pci:" line containing your hardware ID. Try it even if the older lupu kernel is 2.6.33-anything.

Sorry for my confusion over the module name. I would like to get the correct module for your device, even if I have to compile it, assuming we can find the source tarball.

Hi Richard,

You are right about the absence of rtl8192se_pci. I misread r8192se_pci as rtl8192se_pci in lupupluslibre. The files in the pdiag... directory that I would look at are chipnummod.txt, modules.alias and udevtrace.log. I don't think I have captured or generated any file named modules-list, and do not recognize the content you listed. Where did that come from?
IIRC, the text I posted is the content of a file /tmp/pdiag-20121226/module-list. However, it doesn't appear in the pdiag folder generated today, nor in the one I saved yesterday...

OK. I ran pdiag again on my regular lupupluslibre setup (ie. with the usual 2fs file) in which the the connection module doesn't detect the Realtek wireless chip and the modules list doesn't show any r819 module.

I looked at the three files you mention, and found the following in chipnummod.txt:
DESCRIPTION: Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller
VENDOR: 10ec DEVICE: 8172
and from modules.alias
alias pci:v000007AAd00000047sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8192_pci

alias pci:v000010ECd00008192sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8192_pci
But I wasn't able to identify anything relating to this device in udev.trace. So here is the entire text of that file:

Most of that probably is obvious to you,
I wish...
.. If you get a pdiag for the older lupu, I could see that the r8192se_pci driver is associated with the device.

...

On booting with the CD version and a barebones 2fs file (only the graphics configured), no browser installed), I checked the kernel, and it's the same 1.6.33.2 as in lupupluslibre.

With this combination, the wireless realtek chip is automatically recognized by network connection wizard. I couldn't run pdiag, because I didn't have a browser to go get and install it, but I ran pupscan, and got the following info:

kernel driver: rtl819xSE
Kernel module: r8192se_pci

I then rebooted from the CF card with lupupluslibre but used another barebones 2fs file.

With this combination, the wireless chip is not detected, but the module r8192se_pci is displayed on the drop down load list


Given that you have r8192se_pci available, if the kernel version of the lupu CD is the same as that of lupupluslibre (2.6.33.2), try copying the module to that same location in lupupluslibre.
What's the procedure for copying the module from lupu528 to lupupluslibre?
Then run depmod. The module should show up in /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.alias and with a "pci:" line containing your hardware ID. Try it even if the older lupu kernel is 2.6.33-anything.

...
Hmm. Well, as indicated above, the module already shows up in that file, although I haven't copied it nor run depmod. And yet, the wireless chip isn't recognized, and the module doesn't appear in the list of modules available for loading in the connection wizards.

@Renwin

After saving your revised pdiag pet, I rebooted from the CD using the barebones 2fs file that showed the wifi module, but didn’t recognize the chip, when booting from the CF card. When used with the CD, however, the wifi chip WAS recognized. And when I ran pdiag, udev.trace showed the following entries.

20:51:19 add_r8192se_pci_module___
20:51:19 add_r8169_module___
20:51:19 add_serial8250_platform___platform:serial8250

20:51:19 add_r8169_drivers___

I then booted from the CF card again, using the same 2fs file, and then, the wifi card was recognized. However, whether I boot from the CD or the CF card, whenever I use my main 2fs file, wifi isn't recognized, and the wifi module doesn't appear in the load list.

NB. it appears that no matter which medium I'm using to boot the system, it's always the lupupluslibre sfs that's loaded, as both loaders find it on the hard drive, and there doesn't seem to be another copy on the drive.

The CD has only the 125MB lupu_528.sfs, and the CF card has no active sfs file at all, only the loader and intrd.gz. But all the desktops, including the one without a 2fs file, have the libre suite.

So something about my main 2fs file is preventing the wifi chip from being recognized. Any ideas how this might have happened, or how to fix it?

From page 1 of topic:
Notes: 1) If you have previously used the Lucid 5.2.8 Live CD, it may have copied the lupu_528.sfs file to your hard drive. When the new CD boots it will use that lupu_528.sfs without telling you, so you need to delete it from your drive, or rename it, before you boot the new CD. This will happen even if the lupu_528.sfs is in a directory.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Thanks, I understand that bigpup. Although I believe the loader only searches the first level of folders. In this case I was just using an old CD to boot the newer lupupluslibre sfs on the hard drive.

What made me unsure of the process is the fact that modules from the kernel somehow became inaccessible. I thought it was impossible to add or remove kernel modules except by recompiling the kernel. You might recall that Puppy documentation has not always been "Spot on".

Renwin has told me to look for the realtek pci wifi module in /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.alias, and it's listed there (three times) as r8192_pci.

But that's just an entry in a text file. I don't know where to look for the actual module and driver, or why they work in lupupluslibre when using one 2fs file, and not when using another.
