Charlie 6, it is actually the tint 2 panel that is showing the date and clock (and battery time).
It is part of openbox plus 1.5 pet . The panel is alterable via config/tint2/tint2rc.conf.
For information on manually configuring tint2 see http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Configure

Hope this helps.

There's no hiawatha in wheezy, but there's pplog (menu entry and /root/Web-Server/blog) Is this intentional? You could package pplog too as separate pet (although it's only 88 KB and probably insignificant when compressed into sfs but would remove Web-Server dir from /root) or add hiawatha to iso?

Also, when I start pure-ftpd server (I always start it from console, just: pure-ftpd & I also tried from menu dialog where "prevent user root connections" is no checked) I can only login as anonymous to ftpd directory, I can't login as root (password woofwoof? I also ran passwd to set it)

@ Smithy: thanks for your answer :wink: I'll get a try.

@ Pemasu,
just i'm wondering if already on-wheezy_3.5.2.5-compiled-applications need to be recompiled on wheezy_3.5.2.11 ...? This question because i've one which segfaults on wheezy_3.5.2.11. :shock:
Thanks for answering !
@ all: ***Wish you an happy NY time ...and snowy ? :wink: ***

(here we get abnormal +10°C mean outside temp. + abnormal rain falls ...maybe awaiting temp. decrease down to -15°C in mid-january/february/march ?)

Regards, Charlie

I compiled this latest version of DreamChess from source in Dpup Wheezy. It is much more recent than the version in the Debian repos which is from 2007 I believe. I also compiled the dependencies from source to keep them as small as possible without dependencies of dependencies. It looks quite elegant with several graphical styles to choose from and seems to play OK. Give it a try.

faded or washed-out police characters

#639 Post by charlie6 »

[SOLVED] see a few posts below :wink:
Hi,
having Wheezy-3.5.2.11 running like a charm ...
On a PC with an oldNvidia chip + nouveau driver (see report-video comment), i
just got somewhat «faded» or «washed-out» police characters inside text-entry dialog boxes and inside Geany; as also main Menu icons and web screens icons (see shot from Geany below);
Therefore, Geany is not usable.
What could be a fix for this without switching to another video driver?
sh-4.1# report-video

Is the older 'nv' nvidia driver installed in Wheezy? If it is then you could test it
for compatibility.

I have a nvidia graphics card MX400 that I can test this weekend.

[SOLVED] iwl3945: no wifi connexion even after copy

#643 Post by charlie6 »

Hi,
[SOLVED]: yeah .. :oops: ..digging a bit deeper into this forums thread relevant to wifi connection, i got a look into my pdiagxxxx.tar.gz files (see attachments below) comparing the dmesg.txt files:
- the pdiagxxxx_before.tar.gz's dmesg.txt reports that the iwl3945 module was well installed ...then not an ounce of problem !
- at the contrary, the pdiagxxxx_after.tar.gz's dmesg.txt reports iwl3945 module to have problems...

WHAT I DID: i then suspected that my session could have been somewhat corrupted; and then got a try on a fresh wheezy-3.5.2.11 install ...and bingo ! : wlan0 working + wifi could connect OK.

ORIGINAL POST hereafter
here on Dell620 latitude:
- wifi runs OOTB using raring-3.9.9.2 :)
but
- wifi connexion reported as impossible on wheezy-3.5.2.11 :cry:

I browse across this thread and found several relevant posts: as also a fix: copy the relevant module (i.e. iwl3945.ko) from
/lib/modules/3.5.2-dpup/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/
to
/lib/modules/firmware/iwlegacy/

and ... no success ! :?

here are the pdiagxxxx.tar.gz
«_before» copy to /lib/modules/firmware/iwlegacy/;
and
«_after» copy to /lib/modules/firmware/iwlegacy/;

maybe i have done something wrong ..?
thanks for any advice

Cheers, Charlie

just got somewhat «faded» or «washed-out» police characters inside text-entry dialog boxes and inside Geany...blablibla
Solved by building the right Nvidia driver ...:
- here my Nvidia card is GeForce2 MX200 with integrated GPU
- I found at www.nvidia.com this Legacy GeForce2 driver:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run
and
- applied forum member shinobar's latest getnvidia-1.0.pet (...! just care having enough memory (i.e.>300MB) left in personal save file ...) and bingo: driver installed and pet and sfs file generated :D
-if someone needs it, i might upload the pet somewhere...just ask :wink:
Thanks shino !

Hello don570 and charlie6,

As you have said, the nv driver does not appear to be included in Dpup Wheezy. Normally the xorg drivers are in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers although in some Pups the nv driver is placed in /usr/lib/x/drivers-alternate to avoid a clash (?). The modesetting driver is in that location in Wheezy.

I downloaded the nv driver source and it compiles without any problems if anyone wants to include it. I think it can be placed in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers with all the others. The xorgwizard seems to handle everything OK. The only nvidia card I have here is the GeForce FX5200 which in fact gives missing graphics with the nouveau driver.

This is perhaps one reason why it might be nice to have a more recent kernel in Dpup Wheezy at some point in the future.

Anyway, with my nvidia card the modesetting driver works OK. With nouveau you have to use the noaccel=1 boot parameter. The vesa driver and the nv driver then also both work although you have to reboot to activate them and the nv gives a slight sideways displacement but you can adjust the monitor easily to compensate.

In most cases the best thing to do is install the nvidia driver and really the nv driver is surplus to requirements, but it is easy to add it if you feel you really need to.

Hi OscarTalks,
many thanks for your suggestion :D !
assuming the driver you have built is for FX5200, it could be the 325.15 one which drives only 6XXX and FX5xxx Nvidia card types.
MX cards need another driver according to Nvidia support lists.
Maybe others could be interested.
Cheers, Charlie

GeForce FX5200 which in fact gives missing graphics with the nouveau driver.
Use this option to boot:

Code: Select all

nouveau.noaccel=1
title Wheezy 3.5.2.1 (RAM)
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /Wheezy3521/initrd.gz
kernel /Wheezy3521/vmlinuz psubdir=Wheezy3521 pmedia=atahd pfix=ram,fsck nouveau.noaccel=1
initrd /Wheezy3521/initrd.gz
I got a FX5200 and it works also in my Precise Derivative.

Hallo RSH,
vielen Danke RSH !
again another fix/workaround !

did the trick ! :D

mit freundlichen Grüßen ! Charlie
