Hi, I'm currently going through the usual beginner "Hello World" type loadable kernel module tutorials. What I'm unsure of is the distinction between this type of kernel module and what they encompass - which is described as out-of-tree - and in-tree modules which are also described as int...

Got it!

Yup it was just a dodgy file.

I guess I'll be paying more attention to file hashes in future.

Many thanks for the help.

Looks like my mifi has run out of credit so I'm having to use my s-phone to reply.

Its late here so I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow

Talk about frustrating!

Thanks for the help.

OK, if what you gave me was the MD5 hash which I can use gtkhash on the file to get - then I'm getting a different hash number?

I guess I should try downloading again.

Thanks for confirming what I thought. Yeah it's frugal - I've already had the devx_431.sfs installed and working but this one is causing real problems. I decided to do a backup and delete the puppy files on the disk and start from a fresh setup, but no joy there either. The one thing I didn't do was...

I've used the bootloader to load the kernel source file.

kernel -src 2.6.30.5-patched.sfs4.sfs

and I understand I should then find a new directory available

usr/src/linux

But there is absolutely nothing there.

Anyone any ideas?

Well I almost gave up, but decided to go ahead and introduce another thread expecting a mess to ensue.Instead all the problems disappeared and the program works as expected. But this is probably more of a hack than a solution. If all that is required is a flashing sign, it's possible to change the 2...

The default cursor in puppy is black, and I'm using a black background in the program so no joy there.

It looks as if I'm just going to have to leave it for now.

But thanks for your help.

Wow! a bit more info than I was expecting! :) This is new stuff for me, but as far as I can gather its part of ncurses etc which is not something I want to get involved with at this stage and also I couldn't find mention among the info of being able to disable the cursor anyway. I'm really just prog...

I'm learning some c using puppy and I would like to be able to turn off
the cursor in the consol window for a program I'm writing.

I asked the question in a c forum and it was suggested to try following:
But it doesn't seem to work with puppy.

Any Ideas?

thanks for the heads up sdk.

really appreciated!

I've compiled tons of c programs in Puppy using Geany and the gcc compiler without any problems. But for the first time I have used one of the math functions defined in the <math.h> header and get an error which I just can't solve. Since I am learning c for both Windows and Linux I know the program ...

hi still learning linux basics i'm trying to get puppy 4.3.1 ( I really like the GUI ) to recognise my intel 82845G/GL integrated card which i believe is part of the 845G chipset. currently only get 640 by 480 am i right in thinking that the xorg drivers provided here should do the job? and it would...

hi, I'm completely new to Linux, so just have basic knowledge. i downloaded puppy 4.3.1 and loved the look and feel of it all, but found that on my old xp emachines computer with intel graphics, the resolution would not go above 640 by 480. however it did recognise my Conexant soft modem and automat...
