Apparently:
rtl8192cu-fixes-master.pet
Right now just trying to work out why rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin isn't being built while rtl8192cfw.bin, rtl8192cufw.bin, rtl8192defw.bin, rtl8712u.bin, and rtl8192sefw.bin are being built.
You can try the RealTek driver, people seem to swear by it, just remember to to blacklist the old one.http://blog.stuffedcow.net/2014/04/rtl8192cu-and-linux-3-13-10/ wrote: As of kernel 3.13.10, the in-tree rtl8192cu driver (in drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi) is still broken.

Something similar happened also in Fatdog apha 1 , but jamesbond and kirk solved the issue in Fatdog 700 beta .battleshooter wrote:Thanks for confirming that.

On my desktop I have an OCZ Revodrive 3 which works in my case only with Wind7 . It has a fake RAID on it , and OCZ didn't make drivers ( modules ) for Linux . I found on the net that a solution exists to build that fake RAID , I even found a script and explanation how to do it .
The drive is seen as 2 SATA drives in Ubuntu , CentOS , Oracle Linux and Red Hat , but I don't want to go with those big systems .
Now in Puppy-land those two drives show up only in Carolina . I mean they show up in GParted ( mvsas and libsas modules are used ) . However I could not find mdadm ( raid tool ) to try to build something... Fatdog has RAID tools but the 2 drives do not show up in Gparted - even if mvsas and libsas modules are loaded ...
Maybe I missed something ? Are there pets in other repos that work in Carolina ?

Interesting, thanks for the tip, I'll look into that.Gobbi wrote: Something similar happened also in Fatdog apha 1 , but jamesbond and kirk solved the issue in Fatdog 700 beta .
I don't know much about RAID except the general idea, and even then I know nothing of fake RAID. I'm not even sure why you can see the drives in Carolina, I don't remember compiling RAID drivers for the newer kernels. Maybe Geoffrey or one other devs will know. But I found mdadm easy to compile so feel free to give this pet a go:Gobbi wrote:Now in Puppy-land those two drives show up only in Carolina ...

Thank you battleshooter for the mdadm-3.3.2.pet . I'll try to use it .
I did not know anything about RAID myself either , but searching I found some precise infos for my case and even a script .
I must start compiling too - some easyer things first .
Something without too many dependencies , to start with - just to get used to the process , to see it done .

Another frugal install. Only little niggle, booted to an incorrect screen resolution using "vesa" but no big deal to choose "nouveau" and get the correct 1440x900 resolution. All else good ootb.
Looking good.

lina_k3.17-1.2 lacks RaLink RT2561/RT61 driver/firmware?
Hi battleshooter,
While you're working on RealTek drivers, could you take a run at RT2561/RT61. This is the driver used by the Edimax wireless adapter which, several years ago was touted as "playing nice" with Linux. So I suspect that I may not be alone in having acquired some to use in a couple of computers.
Thanks, in advance,
mikesLr

Works here, battleshooters 3.17 kernel Carolina 1.2. Tested with 4 or 5 usb sticks, usb mouse and a usb hard drive on my Pentium M laptop. Updates correctly and reasonably fast when devices changed.Geoffrey wrote:@battleshooter,

Edit: Using the 3.17 kernel Carolina 1.2 as daily driver. Hasn't blinked once in normal use. Evince, Geany, LibreOffice 4.1.4.2, Slimboat, Opera, Lxtask, Xfce terminal emulator, mtPaint, Ristretto, simple GTK radio and of course Thunar most used apps. Printing set up with hplip_print-3.13.4 and CUPS. Wireless with PWF and static IP.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

Excellent! Thank you Geoffrey (and rg66). Like Marv said it's working over here as well.Geoffrey wrote:I compiled hardinfo from the git and patched usb.c with a patch rg66 sent me, seems to work now showing USB devices.
On the topic of Realtek, were you able to have a look at the pet I posted a little while back for your RTL8188CUS?

You could try compiling mdadm yourself just for practice. It seems that all its dependencies are included in Carolina.
Oh, of course! You'll need the devx SFS for whatever version of Carolina you're on. Very important or else you're going no where.
@James C
Thanks for the report. It's good for people searching for their hardware to see where it works.
@Marv
Yep, I've been using 3.17 on a daily basis and I agree, it hasn't missed a beat. I'm pretty happy.

More Info on the RT2561/RT61 driver/firmware problem
Hi battleshooter,
Thanks for taking an interest. Yes, pfind finds the drivers and firmware.
So next, I opened a terminal and ran "ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0". It reported:
"ifdown: can't open '/etc/network/interfaces': No such file or directory",
an inauspicious, but I suspect, significant piece of the puzzle.
Then, still being in terminal, I entered, code:
dmesg > /root/dmesg.txt
And then, to prove that I still didn't know what I was doing, I rebooted out of lina_k3.17-1.2 having forgotten to move dmesg.txt out of /root. So I had to boot back into 'lina and did it again. I've attached the entire file generated, but I suspect the most relevant portions are:
[ 43.191984] EXT4-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[ 43.419839] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt2561s.bin'

But it looks like it's not loading the firmware. Try and copy /lib/modules/all-firmware/rt2x00/lib/firmware/rt2561.bin to /lib/firmware.

The second, I have that too, about libc, probably dependency conflict.
That's some comments off the top of my head. I'm a bit tired to make a more appropriate diagnosis of dmesg, so I'm glad rg66 has made some suggestions. I'm keen to see if they will solve it, they may solve Geoff's issue as well.

Rt61 Wireless -- Following up on Geoffrey's Suggestions
Hi Geoffrey, battleshooter & all,
Success!!
I followed up on Geoffrey's suggestions in his last couple of posts, 'though with a slight twist. Rather than copy the suggested files and folders, I symlinked those from their installed locations to the locations Geoffry suggested. [After installing Rox-Filer which I store on my hard-drive in a Carolina Folder. I like thunar, but for symlinking I find Rox easier to use].
I don't know if his first suggestion is necessary. I'm posting from Carolina now. Before shutting down, I'll delete the symlinks from /lib/modules/all-firmware/rt2x00/lib/firmware/rt2561.bin to /lib/firmware and see what happens when I reboot.
I guess to be more elegant, I could rename the symlinked rt2x00 folder in / to .rt2x00.> note the ".". Still, I have a gut feeling that this work-around is analogous to putting things together with duct-tape. But then, I also have that feeling when I tune in to Morgan Freeman introducing scientists who theorize about "How the Universe Works."
mikesLr
p.s. Both were necessary. Deleting the first and rebooting left me without wifi. Re-installing the links and re-starting X was insufficient. A reboot was required.

Crome 37 Netflix
Hey, found this on distrowatch.com today :
crossing my fringers
best regards
Einar
YAY netflix on linux. last nail in the windows coffin. and now on to my question : Chrome version 37 in my favorite linux distro ?Netflix is a service which allows clients to stream television and film to their computers and hand held devices. Over the years the Netflix client software has been ported to several platforms, but GNU/Linux users have largely been ignored. In the past some workarounds were put together, mostly using WINE to get Netflix streaming to Linux desktop machines. Finally, a native solution for watching Netflix on Linux desktops and laptops has been made available. As the Ubuntu Insights website reports: "Thanks to recent efforts at Netflix and Canonical, Ubuntu now supports watching Netflix with Chrome version 37. Chrome is available to all Ubuntu users with up-to-date installations of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS and later. Netflix subscribers who already use Ubuntu can now watch simply by installing the Chrome browser."

Re: Rt61 Wireless -- Following up on Geoffrey's Suggestions
That's great news!mikeslr wrote:Success!!
So just to clarify the solution was to
a. Symlink /lib/modules/all-firmware/rt2x00/lib/firmware/rt2561.bin to /lib/firmware?
or
b. Symlink etc and lib directories from /lib/modules/all-firmware/rt2870sta-fw to /?
Because then in future releases I could simply symlink that and save everyone the trouble.
You can symlink in Thunar by dragging and dropping while holding ctrl+shift. Just putting that out there cause I like that shortcut.mikeslr wrote:I like thunar, but for symlinking I find Rox easier to use

Both symlinks are required
Hi battleshooter,
Both a symlink of rt2561.bin in /lib/modules/all-firmware/rt2x00/lib/firmware/ to /lib/firmware
and a symlink of the rt2x00 folder in lib/modules/all-firmware to /
were necessary.
Note, however, that when I looked in rt2x00 in I discovered rt2561s.bin and rt2661.bin, along with a couple other bin files. Having a hazy recollection of coming across references to either or both of the latter files, and being uncertain that rt2561 was, in fact, the one required, I created symlinks to each of the foregoing at /lib/firmware.
I wonder if there is a command which would cause the module searching for the proper bin file to search further down the tree.
Thanks for the instructions regarding creating a symlink.
