the package is created and somewhere on your computer. where it is though...i don't know. u'd have a better idea of narrowing down exactly where the .pkg.tar.xz file created to. after you pinpoint it's location though, u'd run the command
Code: Select all
pacman -U /path/to/eeepc-linux.pkg.tar.xz
i'm thinking it created to somewhere in the eeepc-linux folder that you ran the 'makepkg --asroot' command from, or maybe somewhere in the /tmp folder.

One last remaining issue. Can't load it yet.
Code: Select all
[root@archpup ~]# modprobe asus_eee
modprobe: FATAL: Module asus_eee not found.

Sorry, I forgot to change install directory, so open PKGBUILD and change last line, this:
Code: Select all
install -Dm644 $srcdir/asus_eee-$pkgver/asus_eee.ko $pkgdir/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/acpi/asus_eee.ko || return 1
with this
Code: Select all
install -Dm644 $srcdir/asus_eee-$pkgver/asus_eee.ko $pkgdir/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/acpi/asus_eee.ko || return 1
Repeat everything
Code: Select all
pacman -R eeepc-linux
makepkg --asroot
pacman -U eeepc-linux-0.39a1-8-i686.pkg.tar.xz
and then it will work.

Redone.
It loads without a hitch and is working now. Sweet. Although, these 2 lines don't look good - should I be concerned? And there's no directory '/etc/modules-load.d', let alone 'asus_eee.conf' file. Should I create them?

if it's working fine then just ignore that. one thing u might want to do though is edit the /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG file and add the module to the addlist line to look like this:
ADDLIST=' asus_eee '
that pretty much does the same thing as:
without you having to manually do it every reboot.

Using wvdial for internet connection, required 2 steps,
(not unique to ArchPup):
rm /var/lock
then
mkdir /var/lock
(if the first lock is a file, not a folder)
Evidently wvdial wants to make it's own lock file,
and needs a lock folder to put it in, and if not found,
constantly seeks it, /dev/ttyACM0 used by some usb modems
will then report the device is busy.
Copy or create /etc/wvdial.conf
Thanks Simargl, for adding this crucial piece of net connectivity!

ciento, I'm glad that you got it to work. /var/lock was pointing to non-existing folder /run/lock, so I edited build script to make that folder and problem is now solved.
darkcity, also there is template PKGBUILD in /usr/share/pacman, so making new one will be easier.

run the command
wvdialconf
it should look for your modem,
and generate a file called
wvdial.conf in the folder /etc
it looks something like this below, fill in your account details
for phone, username, and password.
If you already have such a file from a working system,
just copy it to /etc
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Stupid Mode = 1
Auto DNS = 1
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = your-dialup-phone-number
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Dial Command = ATDT
Username = your-isp-account-username
Password = your-isp-account-password
hope it works...
64 arch version

Hi,
I am testing out the ArchPup and thinking it would be nice to have a 64 bit version. I have run 64 bit Arch for a while and would like to have a 64 bit puppy of some kind.
Great job by the way.
Thanks,
Rob

Hey, I really wanted to try that out, but it seems that there is no .ISO in your SF account.

Hi
As I see the link to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/archpup ... -12.12.sfs is broken / not active any more / erased? Has anybody an old version of archdev for 12.12 (probably the first release, the release with the butterfly on black background) and can upload it for me to permit to rebuild the exact system I did have in 12.2012 to repair a very important big file on my system?
I thank you if you make it possible.
ciao

ArchPup project is removed
http://ehc.ac/p/forge/site-support/3174/, but I don't understand why you need exactly version 12.12 to repair some file.
And how do you plan to repair it?
Regards.
