Hi pemasu,

I reported previously that no text is visible in Bibletime on Raring compatible pups due to recent Ubuntu Raring updates. It has been confirmed as a Raring bug, however the recent update of Bibletime 2.9.2 has fixed this bug. We just need to package Bibletime 2.9.2 for puppy if possible.

Thanks,
Jim

Speaking of Bible-study apps ...

Has anyone visited bible.org lately?

They updated and it's lot easier to use.

Type a search word or phrase into the first window and it brings up all of their related resources for study.

Nothing required but a browser and Internet access.

I posted a daily OT chronological study, broken into 7-day groups, as well as chronological Gospels and the rest of the NT in canonical order and now all I have to do is enter my name to find it.

From inside the study each heading has the texts to be covered - a mouse-over pops up the Bible text.

In the Bible text pop-up is "Read More" - clicking that brings up a split screen - full Bible text on the left - with links to translator's notes on the right, as well as a Greek/Hebrew dictionary, commentary, etc.

A pretty amazing resource! For those who are interested.

I used the universal installer to do a frugal install to the hard
drive of a Gateway desktop pc.

VIDEO REPORT: Upup Raring, version 3.9.9.1
Chip description:
VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430]

Requested by /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Actual rendering on monitor:
Resolution: 3360x1080 pixels (959x315 millimeters)
Depth: 24 planes
sh-4.1# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
306 frames in 5.0 seconds = 61.173 FPS
304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.734 FPS
304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.734 FPS

There is a bug in the universal installer in that while it installs to
the raring3.9.9.1frugal directory when you reboot for the first time
to create your savefile it will save to / unless you notice and change
to the proper directory.

I added applications with ppm,openbox_plus-1.5.3.pet and a few others
that's it so far.

openbox_plus-1.5.3.pet
In that download? You figure game in the download?

There's no game in the openbox plus pet.

Upup Raring version 3.9.9.1, released Jul 2013

Truly outstanding - a really luvly puppy in every respect - and fast, even on my 10yr old Acer laptop.

Using SeaMonkey to post this and all seems fine.

Running a manual frugal to an ext3 partition and booting with grub4dos.

Considering the age of the laptop and relatively meager resources, this is running extremely well. Thank you pemasu - much appreciated.

Just tried this on a Dell with a Broadcom BCM4312 & it refuses to recognize the wifi.

Anyone found a fix for this, please?

It's real late here so if it's available via a search I'll find it tomorrow ...

Edoc. You have to offer diagnostic data for trouble shooting. My crystal ball is dim today.

In console: pdiag

Attach the created tarball here to the thread.

It didn't create a tarball but rather a folder with a bunch of files ...

pemasu · #100 Post by **pemasu** » Fri 26 Jul 2013, 17:00

Edoc. Not true.
in console: pdiag......and result was:
/root/pdiag-20130726.tar.gz

OK, fine, so I looked in the wrong place ... maybe in another decade with Puppy I will figure out the folder structure?

Here it is ...

pemasu · #102 Post by **pemasu** » Fri 26 Jul 2013, 19:41

Edoc. It looks like your broadcom is supported by wl driver. But ssb and b43 are loaded also. So...you need to try create savefile and reboot. Or....if that is not enough, blacklist ssb and b43, create savefile and reboot.

Just finished a new build of my purposefully-junky "Paper Tiger" system. Changed basically everything, of course.

Build log here --> http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1772485

Runs Upup Raring 3991, here's the summary from HardInfo (taken with a camera) --

Check in the "My Puppy Is More Gorgeous..." thread shortly for a photo of the desktop

EDIT: boy, that was dumb!

"Build log here" now has a link next to it...

Every time I blacklist b43 and ssb and make sure wl is loaded ssb is reloaded - something somewhere keeps reloading it and over-riding my setting.

In Boot Manager - Module Preferences I see these modules appearing this way:

bcm43xx:ssb

ssb:wl

bcma:wl

ssb:bcma

Is this a meaningful variable?

pemasu · #105 Post by **pemasu** » Fri 26 Jul 2013, 21:16

Edoc. /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG
Add in that file to SKIPLIST row those 2 modules more.
ssb and b43

SKIPLIST=" ssb b43 arcfb cirrusfb cyber2000fb ..........

And save. That might be enough. Reboot.

b43 was already in that list once and ssb twice.

pemasu · #107 Post by **pemasu** » Fri 26 Jul 2013, 21:39

Edoc. Then it looks like that rerwin`s broadcom logistic file wants you to use b43.

Only solution is to remove it:
/lib/modules/all-firmware/b43/etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf

Reboot.

edoc · #108 Post by **edoc** » Fri 26 Jul 2013, 22:00

OK, deleted b43.conf at that location and rebooted.

No joy.

ssb and wl show in Pup Kview but no more b43.

Still, wifi that works in MS win7 doesn't work in Puppy.

pemasu · #109 Post by **pemasu** » Fri 26 Jul 2013, 22:30

Edoc. Well....ssb cant be loaded before wl. I hope that I am right with idea that wl is right module for your wireless. It would help if you would know that wl has worked with that laptop in other Puppy, but you havent at least posted so, I suppose it hasnt.

Last resort. Remove also the wl logistic file:
/lib/modules/all-firmware/wl/etc/modprobe.d/wl.conf

And install this pet and reboot. This pet has logistic file for recognizing your chip and it should unload ssb and then load wl. It has the older logistic mechanism but it should work with your chip id.

starhawk · #110 Post by **starhawk** » Fri 26 Jul 2013, 22:37

@pemasu,edoc -- sorry to quite likely add confusion to confusion (I never like doing that), but WikiDevi (a great info source for matching drivers to wifi cards) says that the b43 driver *should* work for that chipset...

I looked at these two cards:
Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Half Mini-Card
Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card

Both say to use b43.

Dunno if that helps or just adds to the mess, but I thought I'd throw it out there...
