No , I'm not :oops:

I'll surely try ; does the order to install those pets matters ?

In the mean time I tried something else : In my vlina folder I also keep Chromium 39 and lib6+libstdc6-4.9.2.pet from @kost@s's thread .
So when I saw the error amdcccle gave in the terminal , I installed again Catalyst but first I also installed lib6+libstdc6-4.9.2.pet . In the end I have amdcccle working :!:
The sound through HDMI is still missing but using my monitor through DVI I got analog sound in speakers . I'm really glad :lol:

Doing the remaster , however I missed something in the /etc/X11/xconf... files because the remaster starts with vesa module and only after I get out of X to prompt and do aticonfig --initial I get fglrx working ...
I never needed this but I should put a line in rc.sysinit or rc.services in /etc/rc.d/ , but I don't remember where exactly ... :oops:

More surprises from you. I wouldn't have thought that would work.

That's weird, I would have thought you didn't need to initialize every time, but if that's what works for you, I think /etc/rc.d/rc.local is early enough. rc.local gets called in rc.sysinit, so it's basically the same as putting it in rc.sysinit, but neater.

Maybe the issue is the xorg.conf created by aticonfig --initial isn't being transferred over with the remaster?

You are right about this , I choose not to make the remaster for my PC only . I run Fatdog on other computers with AMD graphics and the driver works on all of them . In the end I edited a little , some xorg.conf files and I could make a remaster that boots directly on desktop with fglrx . Still no HDMI sound . But it's fine anyway . I could add Compiz .
It goes this way only on the monitor where I made the remaster . To make it work on the other one - I delete those xorg.conf files bounded to the previous monitor and I have to exit to prompt and type :

#aticonfig --initial
#aticonfig --enable-monitor=auto
#aticonfig --swap-monitor
#xwin


After this four commands , fglrx driver works on the monitor . The complainings about the missing or not connected monitor are harmless ...

I tried those pets for glibc 2.20 and it also worked . I could also install the AMD driver . But it doesn't add HDMI sound , so I'm OK with some MB less ... Thank you for the effort anyway :!:

Get Full Path Thunar right-click

#1671 Post by elroy »

This was inspired by using the xdelta gui. I couldn't figure out the drag n drop wile using it with Thunar, and I tired of having to copy/paste text from the "Show Full Path" right click in Thunar. So I decided to create a Thunar right click that copies the full path of a file/directory to the clipboard directly. It does use xclip as a dependency. Thunar - Get_Full_Path_pet (right-click, save-as).

Hi elroy,

I made something very similar the other day, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 298#823298 though I did it slightly differently.

Hi Geoffery,

Yeah, that's what I get for not keeping up with the forum :oops: Oh well, at least I'm not the only one that finds copying text from 'Show Full Path' cumbersome.

Great minds think alike lol, yeah, I got sick of copying the path the old way, especially when there are a lot of them required.

Edit: fixed lib file dependency for xfce 4.10 and theme manager entry.

Optional Puppy Linux or Carolina heading text.

Compiled latest whisker menu, source edited to suit Carolina, looks the same as the old version, the search feature now finds apps in the control panel,.

Thanks to rg66 for the source.

I'll get around to updating the repo soon, at the moment I'm still sorting out XFCE 12 and should have the packages for an upgrade shortly.

Geoffrey,
I downloaded carolina-1.3 and took it for a spin.
I like the sparse menu but am not a fan of XFCE. Nontheless, I would stay with it if only I could get online. The problem is that ndiswrapper is not fully/properly installed. No ndiswrapper.ko exists in the system. Apparently, ndiswrapper should be compiled in the kernel.

This issue has come up in the slacko-6 and tahrpup-6.0 threads.

I compiled the ndiswrapper, try this and see if that fixes it for you, I have nothing to test it with.

I have ndiswrapper working but it's not connecting with the driver I used, it does however find the access point ok, just one of those things I guess.

The pet did not work.
A search for ndiswrapper in a virgin carolina showed 3 files:

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-buginfo
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapperGUI.sh
As mentioned in my first post, ndiswrapper.ko does not exist in the system.
On installing the pet, I was warned that these same files will be overwritten. The pet was successfully installed.

I disabled frisbee and enabled Internet Connection Wizard at the Control Panel.
On completeing the routine to identify/select the Windows driver there is success until the last stage when the error in the screenshot is reported.

A search for ndiswrapper after the pet install reveals:

Code: Select all

/lib/modules/3.2.13-ski/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-buginfo
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapperGUI.sh
/usr/share/man/man8/ndiswrapper.8
The ndiswrapper.ko is found where I expect it to be.

Output from the comparative search in tahrpup-6's implementation is:

Code: Select all

/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
/etc/ndiswrapper
/lib/modules/3.14.20/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
/tmp/ndiswrapper-buginfo.gz
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-1.9
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper-buginfo
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapperGUI.sh
Other miscellaneous info which may/may not be helpful:

Code: Select all

The Windows driver files are installed here:
/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwlhigh5
/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwlhigh5/bcmwlhigh5.inf
/etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwlhigh5/bcmwlhigh5.sys

Code: Select all

As I booted to use the depmod command recommended by rcrsn51 I saw the lights on the dongle flickering and knew all was well :D . I think the wi-fi adapter needed to be reset and that didn't happen through several reboots. Apparently a power off was necessary.

Thanks Geoffery and rcrsn51.

Because I have a short attention span. I waited 24 hours and there was no reply.

rcrsn51 wrote in explaining why he deleted his post:

1. Not all of us are connected 24/7. Not all of us are tied down reading forum threads several hours of the day. I do other things, so 24 hours is not a long time for me to reply.
2. I posed a question in another thread 4 days ago to a specific person, but haven't got an answer yet. Should I be surly?
3. Anyway, I was either browsing through forum threads or going through my email (20-30 per day) when I saw or was directed to your response. I made note of it and since I cannot connect from Carolina I maximize my connect time by continuing to browse: forum threads, news, email. As I was unaware of a deadline for responding, I did not hurry to reboot into the problematic distro and try the advice given. I may have even visited the forum a couple times ahter that. When I rebooted Carolina and saw the flashing lights I was so excited that I forgot to set up DHCP and having failed, used depmod. I was eventually successful in connecting as stated in my last post, but that's after several reboots before I was comfortable reporting success. Then I rebooted into my other distro which with saved passwords, bookmarks etc, makes it easeier when online. Carolina will eventually get there.

4. You don't have to wait. I am sure you know of the watch option in a thread. That's what I use when I pose a question and await an answer.

I appreciate the time you take to help me and others but your action, reaction and explanation was very surprising :o .
