@perdido Yours did not work. On the ndiswrapper -l command, I received a "not found" error.

@peebee
Close but no cigar! The collage of windows in the screenshot, collage.png, are typical screens in a successful installation and invocation except for that at the bottom left which is intermittent.

The post perdido referenced.

So, I tried the commands in the post perdido referenced.
Whereas the poster did not get any response from the ndiswrapper -l command, I did.

Code: Select all

# ndiswrapper -l
bcmwlhigh5 : driver installed
    device (0846:9020) present
You can see the entire dmesg -c dump in the attachment dmesg-c-dump.html, but this excerpt I think is the informative section.

There were several instances of:

Code: Select all

pup_event_backend_modprobe' failed with exit code 1
specific reference to ndiswrapper

Code: Select all

ndiswrapper: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
ndiswrapper: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel

Code: Select all

Next up was ndiswrapper -v.
You should find significant clues in the result.

I am not in upupbb ATM so can't look, but looking in tahr-6.0.2 at /sbin/, I see loadndiswrapper-1.9.
Where/How can we get an updated loadndiswrapper?

UPup Bionic Beaver (UPupBB) 18.05 (May 2018) on DELL 1545

#348 Post by oldaolgeezer »

peebee:

I have a problem when a USB flash drive is plugged into my Woof-CE 32bit Ubuntu Bionic Beaver:

On my DELL 1545 laptop, I don't get the traditional Puppy behavior when
I plug in my USB flash drive.

Basically, it appears nothing happens !

The sda1 icon (of the boot drive) is always displayed in the
upper left side of the screen, but the sdb1 icon never displays.

Note: I am booting with grub4dos from my Sandisk 32 gig SD card
(booting from the built-in SD card slot frees up a USB port for me.
My laptop has only three USB ports (one is used for my mouse)
and I have no hard disk in the laptop.)

I have "discovered" a work-around (after plugging in my USB flash drive)
by refreshing the pMount utility window and then I can mount my sdb1
flash drive files and have ROX copy files without any problem.

(booting the same laptop and choosing slacko 5.7.0 with grub4dos
shows the expected old Puppy USB flash drive behavior (the sdb1 icon
shows up at the bottom left of the screen) and clicking on that icon opens ROX filer.)

Thanks for any help

Displaying my dmesg log shows the following messages:

Hi @oldaolgeezer

Plugging a usb flash drive into a pristine install of upupbb works OK for me....

...however there are errors in dmesg which shouldn't be there so I've raised a woof-ce issue

If you go into System -> Puppy Event Manager

are both the 2 boxes ticked?

Is your system a pristine install or have you added stuff? Can you test a pristine install please?

#350 Post by oldaolgeezer »

Thanks peebee for answering so quickly.

On my UPupBB with my save file, I think I only installed:
palemoon 28.1.0 32 bit (I may have let it update
itself), calibre 2.18 and a wallpaper jpg.

and yes, in Puppy Event Manager, both boxes are checked.

only the sda1 icon is displayed on upper left side of screen,
when my flash drive is plugged in, the sda1 icon remains
(as expected, but the pMount utility window also displays
without me clicking on anything but only offers to mount sdb1.
The pMount window does not show sda1.)

================

After rebooting UPupBB with pfix=ram and setting only my time zone:
when my flash drive is plugged in, both the sda1 icon
and sdb1 icon display on upper left side of screen
(as expected, but the pMount utility window also displays
without me clicking on anything but only offers to mount sdb1.
The pMount window does not show sda1.)

With the with pfix=ram test, dmesg shows:

usb 2-3: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci
usb-storage 2-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
scsi host1: usb-storage 2-3:1.0

udevd[8649]: Process '/usr/local/pup_event/frontend_change add sdb1' failed with exit code 1.
#

======================

When I reboot using the same SD card to load the older Puppy
slacko 5.7.0, and I plug in the same flash drive mentioned above,
both the sda1 icon and sdb1 icon display on lower left side of screen.
and the pMount utility does not display on its own.

Thanks for any help or comments.

first tests

#351 Post by foxpup »

I did a frugal install of upupbb 18.05+13 on the ssd HD of an i5 lenovo laptop.

Here are some remarks:

The laptop has an intel gc and an nvidia card as well (optimus).
Normally Puppies use the intel xorg driver, but BB takes modesetting. I went to the prompt and changed that in xorgwizard.

Another odd thing occurs: I have about 8 drive icons, but at some point the 2nd to the last one are on the same place on the desktop, they cover each other.
I do not know when exactly that happens. I change font size for the desktop and wallpaper, but I do not know if it happens just after that.
Refresh/realign does not help, nor changing the placement.

I noticed puppyphone is version 1.2 while PSIP 1.4 is the latest. 1.4 has the possibility of more than one account, which can be very usefull.

I miss something like quickpet.

I also tried if the iso is hybrid. I use the dd command to put the iso on a usb pendrive and try if I can boot from it.
I think this a must have feature for easy use of Puppy.
I can boot BB this way, but only legacy boot. My machine does not recognise the installation on the pendrive good for uefi boot.
The first Puppy that was a full isohybrid, both legacy and uefi boot, was slacko 6.3.2. It is very odd that most new Puppies do not have this ability anymore!!

Last, but not least: UpupBB runs very lightly on resources and is a real pleasure to use. This could stay for a long time on this machine, and on others, as my main worker.

@oldaolgeezer

The Pmount drive mounter seems to be set up by default on UPupBB to pop up when you plug an external drive into the running system, unlike in other Puppies.

You can prevent it by going to "Applications > System > Puppy Event Manager", then clicking on the "ROX icons" tab and unticking the box next to "Auto-launch `handler`when media plugged in".

Thank you a_salty_dogg:

As an old geezer, I don't think I have ever closely examined
that part of the Puppy before!
That explains the mysterious pMount behavior (of pMount suddenly
starting up when I hadn't clicked on it.)

peebee:

When you asked "if both boxes were checked", I answered without
reading all the options of Puppy Event Manager screen!
(I didn't read the text about "the handler" and answered "yes"
about the two "show desktop ...." check box options near the
bottom of the window that were checked.)

I might add an additional piece of information: when the pMount
window appears (whether by "magic" or by being clicked on,)
I have noticed the small rectangle in the sdb1 part of the
pMount window never shows the percentage of fullness of my
flash drive (on slacko 5.7.0 it is colored correctly showing
how full the flash drive is.) I'm thinking perhaps that might
be related to the error messages showing up in dmesg:
Process '/sbin/pup_event_backend_modprobe' failed with exit code 1.
and Process '/usr/local/pup_event/frontend_change add sdb1' failed with exit code 1.
not ending the flash drive insertion "detection" completely.

Again, thank you all.

You're not the only old geezer here, by any means; I've got leather biker jackets older than most people on the internet! :oops: 8)

I probably would never have gone poking around there either if I hadn't been bothered by that same Pmount window popping up every time I plugged in drives (necessary in my case because UPupBB seems to load and name them in a different order from other Puppies, upsets my ROX bookmarks, download locations, etc).

Hope you're able to get the rest of your drive display problem sorted soon, good luck!

@ melon688

Try applying Shinobar's lang_pack_ja-2.1.sfs.

http://sakurapup.browserloadofcoolness. ... =25&t=1937

It sets up Japanese environment almost automatically.

Load the sfs, set language etc., and restart X.

UpupBB is smaller in size than Bionicpup64, so probably lacks some files related to localization.
