Browserlinux 77 Mb puplet with Firefox 3.5.7

Hi,
I got this version to work with a Fujitsu Stylistic LTC-500 Tablet PC,
which has a 500 Mhz Celeron Processor and 256 MB RAM.

I used UnetBootin 3.57 to put the browserpuppy 4.9 onto a 128 MB
Compact Flash card and only changed in
syslinux.cfg

pmmedia=idehd instead of pmmedia=cd

Then browserpuppy booted from the CF card put via
an CF to IDE adaptor directly from the CF card and copied
all the OS to RAM and came up okay via Xorg 800x600x16 mode.

The only thing now is missing still is the FPIT touchscreen
driver .

Could this be still implemented or patched into this version ?

How ?

As I am still a newbie I don´t know much about it.
Also I would need a software onscreen keyboard to
just use the pen from the tablet.

How could this be achieved ?
Many thanks in advance.
Seems browserpuppy is going to be my next
"working os" for fast PCs only needing to go online..

Great work !

Regards, Stefan.

P.S: Here are 4 links where the FPIT drivers are discussed:

http://www.neurath.org/stylistic_lt_c500/index.html

http://www.grassmann.info/misc.html

http://www.l4a.org/StylisticLT.C-500.html

P.S: I just tried to get the Wireless Lan working,
but it is not working...

Everything I tried withWPA or WPA2 does not
work.
It does not get a WPA connection.
Keys are correct, I rechecked this several times.
I also used a Realtek PCMCIA WLan card, whose drivers
it found immediately and also a USB WLAN stick from X-Micro,
which drivers it found also immediately and it
can also see my Router and my Router ID;
but it can not make a WPA or WPA2 connection.

What could this be ?

I will try now a nonencrypted conection just for a test and let you know..

Many thanks in advance.

hmm.
this worked rather well.
i rather liked it.
do it with Opera and I'd buy it
(so to speak)

Yes, updating Firefox to 3.5.1 worked also for me.

I have achieved some slow WPA2 connections now via the X-Micro
USB WLAN stick I am using on a USB hub together
with a USB mouse and USB keyboard,
cause my Fujtsu Stylistic LTC-500 TabletPC
only has one nonbootable USB port.

Maybe the WLAN stick is slowed down by the
USB mouse and USB keyboard ?

The driver being used for the USB stick is
the ZDXXXXXrw driver
(Can´tremember now the exact driver name..
but it began with ZD... and ended with ...rw)

Well, I also tried with a PCMCIA card from Digitus,
the DN-7001GT/E
where it used automatically the Realtek RTL 8180
driver, but with this I don´t get a WPA2 connection at all...

So this one doesn´t work unfortunately, so
I couldn´t just use the USB port for the keyboard and mouse alone...

Hmm...what driver should I choose for it ?
It sees my router , but can not connect via WPA nor,
if I don´t use encryption...Damn..

Should I try different drivers for it ?

Please help.

Many thanks.

Would be also glad, if you could incorporate the
Boxee Multimedia Home Theater Viewer:
www.boxee.tv
and also a software keyboard and and FPIT pen controller
program.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Puppymartin,
which WIFI drivers did you include
in 4.9 ?

For Realtek cards, are these these patched ones ?

Many thanks for any help about it.

I didn't change the drivers. They are the same as in Barebones Pup 4.1.2 (or 4.1.2)

puppymartin · #46 Post by **puppymartin** » Fri 24 Jul 2009, 12:40

For my very old laptop I made a "speed menu". It turns off conky, blinky etcetera.
A bit like: Puppy Greyhound (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=33652)

Install the pet and then in terminal:
# fixmenus
# jwm -restart

Then:

puppymartin · #47 Post by **puppymartin** » Tue 28 Jul 2009, 11:29

New version with more Firefox stability, a few fixes and.... a new name: Browserlinux
New name because someone told me not to use the word "puppy" in names of puplets.
Browserlinux sounds good. New domain: browserlinux.com

Hi Martin,
please could you include also the virtual keyboard:

http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/xvkbd/

into browserlinux ?

And also FPIT , the touchscreen driver is really needed for my tablet PC:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/hardy/x11 ... input-fpit

Could you please include these or make a pet to install it ?

Also very cool would be a pet for boxee.tv or xbmc.org

Many thanks in advance.

Regards, Stefan.

How can this virtual keyboard program automatically be started
after bootup ?

Many thanks.

hartiberlin · #51 Post by **hartiberlin** » Fri 31 Jul 2009, 14:04

Can this autostart program be used to start the virtual keyboard ?

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=6084

Also it would be nice, if the WLan or Lan connection would
be recognized during bootup, so one could
go to the Internet when one starts Firefox already.

And how can I change the 1 click to 2 clicks ?
I am used under Windows to click 2 times to start
desktop applications when clicking on the icons.

Many thanks.

I just tested Browserlinux with the MPlayer full install
from the PET manager and this Mplayer is now the fastest
and smoothest solution to play my HD MOV Quicktime movies
from the Aiptek HD camcorder.

This is very good.
Earlier Kaffeine player from the Presto distribution was the fastest,
but now MPlayer under browserlinux rocks even more.

I dont see any dropped frames anymore on my Athlon X2 3800
NVidia 6150 chipset motherboard with 2GB Ram on a 1920x1200 monitor.

The question still is, if it would be possible to port Boxee.tv to
browserlinux as a pet, as this is a great multimedia
HTPC application.
See:

Many thanks.

Sorry for posting so many single messages,
but I want to keep them seperated, as these are different topics
related to browserlinux.

1. Well, another question I still have, why there are so many
slowdowns during booting ?

I am using a very fast 8 GB USB stick to boot from it
Browserlinux.
Always at the step
"Looking for disk drives" or something like this browserlinux
bootup makes a huge 20 to 30 seconds pause and the USB
stick is not blinking, so there is no access to the USB stick
and the screen is also not updated... so it seems the PC just waits
for a timeout or something ?

Could that be avoided somehow ?

2. Also I dont need the bootup going into this
Vesa menu first, where you can choose between
default and puppy. How can this be disabled ?

3. Did you remove the touchscreen drivers
from the normal puppy distribution ?
See:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 70&t=41286

Must I install the PETs, if I want to have the Fujtsu touchscreen driver ?

hartiberlin · #54 Post by **hartiberlin** » Sun 02 Aug 2009, 22:02

well,
I am very disappointed in this moment,
cause I had worked for more than 20 hours to get the wireless
Lan PCMCIA card with the Realtek RTL8180 chipset going,
but it always does not connect due to a WPA2 problem...

I tested all PET drivers for this card which I could find,
but am not yet able to connect to my wireless lan.

Which other current puppy oer puplet release does
support this ?

I really wish that we could get this to work under
browserlinux, cause I like it very much.

Please let me know any solutions.

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

Disappointed as well. Hours installing the other stuff but on shutdown it said that my personal file was full and needed to migrate to a new dvd.

Even after I tried it without installing stuff, just setting..

T_Hobbit · #56 Post by **T_Hobbit** » Mon 03 Aug 2009, 11:20

Where can I found "Qemu-Browserpuppy" talked on the first page of this topic?

How to see space left in pup_save in conky?
Just add to the end of /root/.conkyrc:

Code: Select all

${color ffffff}Free space: ${fs_used /}

Thanks

hartiberlin · #57 Post by **hartiberlin** » Mon 03 Aug 2009, 13:02

Hi,
is there already an NVidia driver ?

I always get so big fonts on my 1920x1200 monitor.

It seems the real resolution on my 1920x1200 monitor
is only set to 1280x1024 or something like this, cause
all the fonts are also horizontal aspect ratio distored,
so they are squished to the width. so with is larger than heigth
of the fonts...

Regarding boot time:
The boot time is still much slower
than the superfast Xandros Presto.

Could that be made faster ?
Although Presto uses KDE which also needs more boot time,
but Presto is booted up on my PC in about 15 seconds only,
but unfortunately it is payware and I want some open
source alternative !

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

Hi,

I tested some other pupplets to see, if they
contain the latest WPA2 compatible
WIFI drivers.

I have a Realtek RTL8180 based PCMCIA WLAN card.

The pupplets I got the my Realtek RTL8180 based PCMCIA WLAN card
to work with WPA2 encryption are Fatdog2beta and Turbopup and Flexpup.

I hope you can use this soon as a base for Browserlinux,
so the WLAN WPA2 encryption will also work with browserlinux.

Hope this helps somehow.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards, Stefan.

hi there!

great work!

a question: quakelive is now linux ready via ffox 3.x - is browserlinux able to run quakelive? is someone here able and willing to test? - thank you very much in advance!

aragon · #60 Post by **aragon** » Thu 20 Aug 2009, 07:01

as you're asking this question, you should be the one who is willing to test ... after doing your tests, you might share your new knowledge with the community.
