otropogo:
Am unable to access the alternative format for the Pmount window via the preferences tab, so no unified window or MUT is available.
In playing around, here is how I got Pmount’s preferences to work.

1. Rename in /usr/sbin/gtkdailog3 to gtkdialog3.hide.

2. Symlink gtkdialog4, naming it gtkdialog3 in /usr/sbin.

3. Install mut2-1.3.1238.pet from here: ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/

Works for me.

Thanks for your suggestion. Am a bit antsy about symlink, or indeed, any manual changes in system configuration, but will try playing with it later (using a test 2fs file.).

If anyone caught my original post, I'm afraid I'm getting swamped with Puppy versions, and got Racy 5.2.2 confused with Luci 529.

USB3 does seem to work in Racy 5.2.2 without the bothersome intermittent ntfs errors of lupu. It does however, intermittently refuse to load xwindows without pfix=acpi on my desktop machine. Today it loaded fine the first time, then failed on the second.

I also miss fprot/xfprot, and have never been able to install clam-av so it actually works.

Just now I went a few more rounds with both.I've got xfprot installed on the desktop system. When I open it, it goes online to get the sigs file, but then reports it can't expand it. So I downloaded the file manually in /usr/local/f-prot. So now, instead of wanting to go online, x-fprot responds with "binary not found". However, no installation for the binary fprot is listed in any of the repositories available to packet manager.

So then I tried to install clamav, which I've read Barry prefers to the "broken" f-prot. There's only one package in the repos clamav-0.91.2.pet, in the Puppy 3 repository. I installed it "successfully", but no tab or icon for it appears anywhere, and I have no idea how to access it to run it or update its sigs file.

I noticed earlier today, playing with Fedora16 LiveCD that they've been unable to get a working update app for clamav continuously since 2005! So what's more broken, clamav, which doesn't work at all, or x-fprot/frpot, which runs and updates ok in Puppy 4.x and lupu?

Lupu is ok except for its very scary handling of ntfs filesystems.
Aside from the intermittent ntfs-g3 error that causes it to mount usb drives in read only mode, I've recently had an instance where all of the subfolders in a folder disappeared when I moved another folder into it.

There was no error message or clue of any kind as to what had happened. Both the moved file and the entire contents of the target file, with 30 subdirectories and almost a gigabyte of datafiles bytes became instantly inaccessible.

When I rebooted, they were all there again. No disk utility could find anything wrong with the partition. But it's ntfs.

Wifi Problem!

#393 Post by sszindian »

Trying to setup wifi with Racy. It seems we are almost there except for this...

(Using Linksys AE1000 High Performance Wireless-N USB Adapter and BELKIN N300 Wireless Router)

Any suggestions appreciated!

wifi problem

#394 Post by sszindian »

Searching my files in Racy, I found that the rt2800usb file is in fact there, compiled for 3.0.7 but, wifi still gives the error message (in above post) and doesn't work?

Wifi problem

#395 Post by sszindian »

Hmm... My BELKIN router came equipted with a 'PASSWORD' protect... I'm wondering if that might have something to do with not being able to setup my wifi? I checked the setup as best I know how and didn't see anywhere to enter a password for Racy wireless!! Where is that setup function hiding? I previously setup wifi on my Nextbook Tablet without a hitch.

Maybe I need to take this problem to a different thread???

/usr/local/Partview/pdff.pl

#397 Post by Karl Godt »

I am not educated in the perl language so am not able to debug the script for the moment .

[edit]
[original:]
/bin/sort binary is not working as expected , have replaced sort in the script with busybox sort and that seems to function better .

Code: Select all

open(FH,"mount | grep '/dev/' | grep '/mnt/' | busybox sort -g |")  or die "cannot run command mount\n";
[/original]
It is not a /bin/sort issue with partview , see post further down !
[/edit]

#

There is also a problem with /bin/umount script that does not grep -w /dev/sda1 if rootpartition is /dev/sda10-15 for the desktop shows the sda1 as mounted even if it is truly unmounted because ^ df |grep sda1 |grep -v sda10 ^ would not run the icon_unmounted_func but the icon_mounted_func and leave a rooticon for sda1 on the desktop if Puppy installed full to sda10 .

I reported that in the slacko thread :
AND umount does not create the right icon for sda1
[The racy freememapplet works ok regarding df output]

to reproduce : many full installations on large drives ie partition sizes of 15GB ; run partview by clicking the freememapplet in the tray

wcpufreq looks in non existant directory

#398 Post by Karl Godt »

I have temporarily adjusted the code like this :

Code: Select all

 if [ -d /lib/modules/$kernelVersion/kernel/arch/*/kernel/cpu/cpufreq ];then
 cd /lib/modules/$kernelVersion/kernel/arch/*/kernel/cpu/cpufreq
 elif [ -d /lib/modules/$kernelVersion/kernel/drivers/cpufreq ];then
 cd /lib/modules/$kernelVersion/kernel/drivers/cpufreq
 else
 WARN='No appropriate directory with cpu freq drivers detected'
 fi
 if [ ! "$WARN" ];then
 #lots of code here
 fi
The directory

/lib/modules/$kernelVersion/kernel/arch/*/kernel/cpu/cpufreq

exists for kernel 2.6.39.4

BUT

NOT for kernel 3.0.7

cd ./non/existent leaves the prog in $HOME and ls -1 would show files and directories but no kernelmodules as expected .

And Please check rc.shutdown for

- umount -r $ONESTRAY

[edit]
there is still
xFUSER="`fuser -m $ONESTRAY 2>/dev/null`"
should also become
xFUSER="`fuser -m $ONESTRAYMNT 2>/dev/null`"

With partview it turned out to be a technical logical problem assigning the already mounted flag to the right partitions , so no sort problem .

The original code checks if all@i=mnt@i but the mounts might be not in the all@all order .

My hacked code looks for the mnt@all as many times partitions are mounted .

I have no solution for the rootpartition though . But it does not seem to hurt to mount and unmount it another time @/mnt/$rootpartition .
Maybe some rdev code to filter would do it .

[edit]
Want to mention , that
pdff.pl does not support /dev/hd names for IDE kernels !

To debug it i found out to alter

The code adjustment runs as long as sound modules are loaded with a precaution break .
modprobe -r is working more effectively because it removes also module dependencies for other modules at once .
I added the -v option for running it in the shell .
It filters out not used modules by grep '0 $' .
Modules in use can not be rmmod as far as i know .
A module not in use by another module can be removed from the running kernel and modprobe -r also removes the module dependencies that now become not in use anymore ,

Lupu has got /usr/[s]bin/alsa script which uses modprobe -r also if called for example by alsawizard .

Until now i had never problems with sound with Puppy .
BUT now it occurs that both 2.6.39.4 and 3.0.7 kernels dont reboot the newest 2007 board by DELL
The system stays in halted mode without even poweroff then .
They both rebooted or poweroff for boards from 2001 and 2003 .
Slacko kernel 2.6.37.6 is the last that actually reboots this board.
I will be working on this .
[edit]
The dells have several entries in

/linux-3.1.6/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c

like
/* Handle problems with rebooting on Dell Optiplex 745's SFF*/
.callback = set_bios_reboot,
.ident = "Dell OptiPlex 745",
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Dell Inc."),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "OptiPlex 745"),
},
},
{ /* Handle problems with rebooting on Dell Optiplex 745's DFF*/
.callback = set_bios_reboot,
.ident = "Dell OptiPlex 745",
.matches = {
DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Dell Inc."),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "OptiPlex 745"),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "0MM599"),
},
},

DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Dell Inc."),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "OptiPlex 745"),
DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "0KW626"),

AND the " reboot=f,w " kernel parameter worked for me to reboot the system .

Gnome-mplayer for Wary5 either doesn't work or simply crashes on Racy 5.2.2. I tried VLC for Wary5 and SFS, too. The reason I want to get a new video player is that Mplayer doesn't support full screen in Racy. Any suggestions?

Lots of fixes! I have been reading this thread, and fixing things. As I have been mostly off-line, I haven't posted to this thread whenever I have fixed any particular problem.

Info not posting right here...Go to Puppy Forum #2 and see post in Racy...

http://puppylinux.info/

But we will try once again here......

Surprise....

If you have a gmail account for your email, you have a feature in there called 'Call Phone' (if I remember right, you have to signup for the feature even though it's free)

if you go to: http://tinyurl.com/8479cqm

Download the .pet file:

googletalk-ff.pet

Install it in Racy-5.2.2

You have free live talk from your computer microphone to any local and long-distance phone number in the U.S. and Canada.

Works like a charm and is cyrstal clear, probably better than your phone!

This works for U.S. gmail accounts, how it will work for other parts of the world, you'll have to check that out for yourself.

NOTE: When dialing... a '1' is required for long-distance numbers and the 'area-code' seems to be required for all calls, even local.

Might even work in Slacko, Exprimo, Lupu and others... here again, you won't know unless you try.

mhwaveedit config file

Suggestion for Barry...

I got an idea while looking a Tazoc's Lighthouse 503

He puts a mhwaveedit configuration file in his ISO
so that the first time a user launches mhwaveedit
it will have a wide window and less vertical scroll bars.
It's a nice touch!! :lol:

Here's the file he uses ----> /root/.mhwaveedit/config
Note that there is a line for window geometry

Code: Select all

# settings are saved.

/etc/services is missing entries for ntp.

#408 Post by npierce »

After being a happy Puppy 4.3.1 user for over two years, I decided to try something new. Trying out Racy 5.2.2, I am pleased to see that the past couple of years have brought many improvements. Racy is looking good!

I did notice, however. that ntpdate (which was included in both Puppy 4.3.1 and Racy 5.2.2) is still not working because of an omission in the /etc/services file.

For details see the following bug report submitted by Minomushi in 2010: ntpdate trouble

I am attaching a copy of /etc/services which is a duplicate of the one included with Racy 5.2.2 except that the missing entries have been added.

Trouble with Ralink RT2860 Wirless Driver

#409 Post by nobles »

With Racy Puppy 5.2.2, I managed to add the RT2860.bin firmware file for the Ralink RT2860 driver that was missing to the lib/firmware folder but after that I cannot find any wireless networks when scanning, even though there is definetly one that should be able to be found.

Any ideas on how I can make a Ralink RT2860 adapter work with Racy Puppy 5.2.2?

nobles:

You might want to move your question on Racy wifi over to the forum thread below for better results:

I still have a problem with rt2800USB but at least it was addressed over there.
