Driver RTL8192CU must be installed by user,

#886 Post by Pelo »

Driver RTL8192CU must be installed by user, in spite of WLAN1 appears in the menu. Could you provide these drivers for LXpup kernels ? Merci messieurs.
People sometimes use their laptop not at home and need to connect to Public spots. That is the case where i live. Spots are offered free of charge by the city. But you need the driver for Puppy Linux OS used (LXpup and kernel)
Rcrsn51 provides a pet.
look here for 8192cu_xenial_701-k4.5.2.

Rcrsn51 provides a pet for 7.0.2 LXpup version.
I intend to take a glance at LXQt pup seen in sourceforge here.
Wifi drivers and firmware come from the pup that LxPup is based on - in this case LxPupXenial-16.08.2 is based on Xenialpup CE 7.0.4

Any missing items need to be raised with Xenialpup....

I would caution against looking too closely at LxQtPup as it has had no development since Dec 2014 and none is planned. It has its own thread: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=95020

LXQt soon will replace LXDE...

"I would caution against looking too closely at LxQtPup as it has had no development since Dec 2014 " I will feed back if LXQTpup is however serviceable an if this marry well with my computer ( Medion p7624 bought 2012)
LXQt soon will replace LXDE...
I suppose the dev was Jejy69, a guy from France, a neighbor. He was very young. Perhaps he has developed ... a family
About LXpup, for surfing outside with my laptop, wireless connected to public hot spots, i will change the kernel if no drivers found for my antenna.
An SFS lxQt is available (19MB)

How-to-do : lxpup has a trash, where files are stored before deleting. But how do you delete them ? Delete is in the choice (right-click menu on Trash) solved

I'm still using your excellent LXpup as No. 1 among all distros, but I am also trying to get through some bugs (not found in forums). One of them is the Keyboard Layout switcher/handler), which won't show in any LXPup the appropriate flags in the panel (shows only a blank frame). Do you please know a solution?
How to change USA flag by England (UK), and add France one ? French is not included as choice. I change by setxkbmap fr in terminal.
Germany flag is included in choice. french is more used than German, even by Puppy users.
I learn English at school, but Cambridge one, not NYC. That is the reason why EN is more accurate than US. Australian flag should be available too, for Puppy native country, won't it ?
Peebee should agree on my request,Give to Caesar what is Caesar's

Updated 13-jun-2017

For testing....

LxPupXenial-17.06.00

a derivative of Xenialpup 7.0.8.1 beta from 666philb

Notes:
Not a UEFI iso - just bios boot
Identifies as xenialpup-7.0.8.1 so cannot update any previous LxPupXenial save
Not a new woof-ce build - a derivative

Installed and set up LxPupXenial-17.03.00 on the core 2 duo laptop. No problems noted. Once it was set up I went back and stripped Palemoon and resquashed the main SFS. I am running slimjet 13.0.8.0 (OscarTalks SFS) as the main browser. Perfectly acceptable toolbar fonts in this install and it helped me figure out those fonts in LxPupSc.

video-info-glx 1.5.1 Sun 26 Mar 2017 on LxPupXenial 7.0.8.1 Linux 4.9.13 i686
2.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

X Server: Xorg Driver: intel
X.Org version: 1.18.4
dimensions: 1280x800 pixels (338x211 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 12.0.6

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz
Core 0: @800 1: @800 MHz

Edit: Also set it up on the Pentium M laptop using the LxPupSc 'alternative' 4.4.52 kernel. Normal fast boot, good glxgears FPS, normal suspend etc. Test installed it sucessfully on the BayTrail desktop as a samba shares and print server. Grub4Dos frugal installs on both, running the main SFS sans Palemoon using slimjet from SFS. I've used it quite a bit the past few days on the core 2 duo laptops and this version of xenialpup now has a lot of the rock solid feel tahrpup has. Earlier versions didn't to me.

Thanks,
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.

still with LXpup 7.0.1 kernel 4.5.2

#895 Post by Pelo »

still with LXpup 7.0.1 kernel 4.5.2 (dongle driver 8192Cu available at rcrsn51 shop)
Two reasons not to load new versions :
FFMpeg
Laptops cannot be used as Laptops (bring your laptop in your car, as instance) :
So roots are old people, not interested in public relation, shopping, and they do as old engineers playing with old locomotives, out of breath. That was why jejy did a frexit with french team, in the past (supposed).

Pls do new topic with last version, because lxpup is worth to be at the top.

See Xenial kernel 4.5.2 here

Can't delete folder from Trash

It tells me there are errors when I try. I also can not restore the folder because it says it can't restore files recursively. I am using xenial 16.0.8

I don't have a boot of LxPupXenial-16.08 to hand but I tested on LxPupSc and all worked as I expected. Nobody else has reported this problem so I rather suspect your particular setup/configuration....When I get a chance I'll test LxPupXenial-16.08
Try looking at the trash directly using roxfiler - it's a hidden file in the root of the device - e.g. /mnt/home/.Trash-0

[Bit later] Tested on LxPupXenial-16.08.2 - works fine.... Has the path to the original folder changed sine you deleted the folder? Have a look in /mnt/home/.Trash-0/info at the xxx.trashinfo file.....

there is no hidden .Trash-0 folder in /mnt/home though I did not PERSONALLY move it.

This is a frugal usb install. Would that make a difference?

Apparently in LXXenial this is more like Ubuntu than Slackware or Puppy because I tried a command for deleting stubborn files in Ubuntu and it worked.

sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*

I've updated the test version of LxPupXenial to version 17.06.00...

There is an iso and a delta from 17.03.00 on SourceForge

Could you make an LXPup based on Quirky April? I want to try one that uses packages made for puppy. Many Ubuntu packages just don't speak puppy, and I don't have good luck with slackware.

but I'm afraid I don't have the effort to take them any further....sorry!

1. you will need to remaster to really remove items - or you can delete/rename items in /usr/share/applications to just remove them from the menu
2. Google do not provide a 32-bit version of Chrome for some time now
3. What do you mean by "can't install"????
You need to provide much more detail of your installation and boot setup.....
and these are basic questions about how Puppy works (i.e. not LxPup specific) which will probably be better answered in other parts of the forum.
