A more concerning issue is that, upon first connection to the Internet, there's no check for a firewall -- users have to find that manually
SNS ie simple network setup which is network setup tool created by Barry Kauler launches firewall wizard but Frisbee does not. I think also, that it would be improvement if Frisbee also would launch firewall wizard like SNS.

If you choose SNS you should see firewall wizard. If you choose Frisbee you wont see it.
I have preinstalled in dpup exprimo builds firewallstate tray app by Tasmod. It could be useful in Upup Precise also. Or...Frisbee update. Rerwin.....Houston is calling. We have a problem...lol.

I was using the older, more complex Network Setup. SNS didn't work for me with a couple other Pups, so I wanted to use Network Setup so I'd get the error messages I'd need to know what was going on.

I have a strong dislike for Frisbee.

Well...that one is mostly unmaintained nowadays. Not sure if there is motivation to improve it anymore.

I was told that the storage site I was using doesn't work...

So I reuploaded the Qupzilla.pet

Hope it works this time.

Hi pemasu,

On my frugal install of 3.8.2, the network interface is eth0, but tx_bytes and rx_bytes are not updating in /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/.

Maybe it's just my installation. :)

Radky. Do you mean that this does not happen for you ?

What eth card do you have...and what driver it uses.
Pdiag tarball post for example
Cheers.

Radky, do you have 2 or more eth$n interfaces? It's a known issue if so with the network_tray icon. Rerwin and myself have been trying to figure it out.

pemasu, a bug! Click the tray clock, minixcal opens, dismiss it by right click on the pager entry and "close" and X crashes!

If you use my igucal-002 pet (in one of the slacko repos) it works ok. (edit: btw, it links to minixcal so slots straight in)

Cheers.

Oh, a suggestion... why not use 5.5.0 as version? It's up there :wink:

Hi pemasu and Mick,

No, just one interface (eth0). :)

Code: Select all

# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/rx_bytes
0
# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/tx_bytes
0

Thanks 01micko of more experienced information.
I will update to the igucal...or to the PupClock.

About version number. I am not sure if I should use your official numbers.
Anyway...I have used kernel version reflecting numbers for some time now. It is eternal puzzle for what version numbers should be used. Oh well....

Radky.
[ 27.862668] tg3 0000:02:00.0 eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex
[ 27.862671] tg3 0000:02:00.0 eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX

I havent found so far any straight reason. Will keep your driver and chip in mind. Maybe solution will pop up. Or reason.

pemasu,

In Mick's PHATSlacko with kernel 3.8.2, I have the same problem described above in Upup Precise 3.8.2 (failure to update the send/receive data in /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/).

However, your prior release of Upup Precise (kernel 3.7.2) works great on my system with the BCM57788 chipset and tg3 driver.

Pemasu, 3.8.2 looks good to me so far. Thanks! However, I get
the impression that the power management bug still lurks since
SNS didn't immediately connect when I tried without my "fix". Normally,
I get a connection on the first try with SNS. I can spend some time
trying to get more conclusive results if you wish.

Artsown. I think we are speaking of this:
iwconfig wlan0 power off

Yes....If you still need it, I would like to get confirmation. So that I could guide to that command if there seems to be need with troublesome wireless chips and drivers.

Pemasu I've confirmed that 3.8.2 has the wireless power
management bug. My "how to" on this is here:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84266

I should add something to this. Turning off power management on
wlan0 may not have immediate effect. After placing the script
in /root/startup you should reboot puppy and then do the
first or initial connect.

Ok, I edited my "how to" on the wireless power management bug,
altering the procedure to say that a reboot should be done
after placing the script in /root/startup

Fresh manual frugal install on the old P4 test box. No problems....everything working well ootb.

For whatever reason every release with a 3.8.X kernel has a problem detecting and/or mounting flash drives on my older hardware (in particular my main Athlon XP box) but no such trouble on newer boxes.Or maybe it's a problem with AMD. Anyway...no problems on this box.

This is a problem with the current crop of precise puppy and its WOLF spins, does not occur in Ubuntu Precise.
