Re: Save file types issue

as it is mounted as ext2 in my case.

I still think the init script in initrd.gz has to be adapted as well.
Three statements to change from ext2 to ext3.
The line:
PUPSAVE='sdb7,ext2,/quirkysave-R40_quirky_18.3fs'

...ext2 refers to the filesystem of the sdb7 partition.

MESA video experiment

#162 Post by BarryK »

MESA video experiment

For you guys who have reported issues with the video in Quirky, like a green-tinge screen, or it is just not working, try this.

If you can get it going with the 'vesa' driver, get online and run the Puppy Package Manager.

In the 'Find' box type "mesa", then download and install the mesa 7.6 pet pkg.

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, comment-out the "disable glx" line.

Exit to the prompt and run 'xorgwizard'

...let me know if that makes any difference.

Hello,

1. Conky 1.8.0

I tried to compile conky 1.8.0 on Quircky 18 - but it seems a package named "lua5.1" is missing...

how to fix that?

2. ATI drivers

Tried to install ATI drivers.

I have the DevX and kernel source sfs files added / and they are loaded.

But during installation ATI log tells me:

cat fglrx-install.log
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Message] Kernel Module : Found kernel module build environment, generating kernel module now.
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
Error:
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/build/include do not match current kernel.
they are versioned as ""
instead of "2.6.33.2".
you might need to adjust your symlinks:
- /usr/include
- /usr/src/linux
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult readme.
#

clue to that?


over and out,

Johan

Xconfig Issue

#164 Post by Fishy »

Tried your fix Barry. Downloaded and installed mesa 7.6, controlled out. Edited xorg.config file as directed. Ran xorgwizard. Still have green hue to screen, possibly even darker. :? Vesa works.

ATI HD 3300 integrated graphics.

Cheers :D

PS. will download Wary and see if X runs properly.

There is a major problem with quirky and puppy 431 with the latest ayttm. Because of the change in spellcheck to Enchat, it's working only when using english language. I checked with greek, spanish and german and it isn't working at all.

The error in console is:

Code: Select all

# ayttm
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'enchant::Exception'
  what():  std::exception
Aborted
I know it isn't actually quirky related but must be fixed before releasing it. I believe is a problem with the enchant library, possible because it can't find dictionaries for the other languages.

Edit: By the way I will also contact siddheshp and ask him whether he can override the problem

Intel i810 Driver

#166 Post by alec78 »

Hi all,
Further to my post above, to see if I had made an error I did a pfix=ram boot from the CD. Again at the video set up screen I hit the choose button and then OK. When the desktop came up I ran report-video. It was the same as previous i.e. showing the vesa driver.
I then did my normal boot from the CD to a save file on an USB dongle. I intended to follow the instructions given by BarryK in the Quirky 013 Bugs Feedback thread on the 31/3/10.
When I looked in /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/drivers there was no intel driver, there were i810 and vesa drivers. I deleted the vesa driver, exited to the promp and ran xorgwizard. Hitting the chose button brought up a box saying something like not implemented yet, so I hit the probe button, I then had to manually select the resolution and depth. The installation then went to completion with a black screen. I killed that with the power button and rebooted. The desktop came up and report-video showed the vesa driver.
It seems the original xorg wizard is deleting the intel driver but not selecting the i810 driver and deferring to the vesa driver.
Cheers

Quirky 018 feedback

#169 Post by Billtoo »

I get a black screen no matter which I choose, probe,choose,or vesa.

At one point it said it was just going to use the 810 driver, my pc has the Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) so a black screen was what I got.

I posted the above from quirky 018 which works fine and I've rebooted to puppy 3.01 and it works fine too (although it takes about 10 minutes to boot up 3.01).

The pc is a "Linux puppypc 2.6.21.7 #1 Sun Sep 9 02:29:54 GMT-8 2007 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux"

Thanks for site rjbrewer. I did try the location:
[url]mms://wtju-r.eservices.virginia.edu/WTJU-test[/url]
It did work in both mplayer and pupradio. However, the locations for the Gulch receiver and pupradio CFGP, still do not. It is clear that Sea Monkey, latest version has a problem. I am still a bit confused why Puppy 4.3.1 Gxine does not have a problem, but, mplayer of Quirky 018 does have one. I am waiting until the next version of Quirky.

Wary 019

#171 Post by BarryK »

Might as well use this thread also for feedback on Wary 019, as announced here:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01504

I'm very interested to know if testers having trouble with video in Quirky 018, find Wary 019 fixes it (or is worse).

CFGP is easy to listen to; on any player or any of the 3 Puppies on my laptop. Quirkys' mplayer has nothing to do with that.

wary 019

#174 Post by ecube »

Everything works fine. The only (cosmetic) problem is a open box error message (a buglet residue?)

To keep track of my IP-address, I added a file

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
IP=`ifconfig wlan0 | grep inet`
xmessage -timeout 5 -bg cyan -buttons "" "${IP:20:13}"  &
to the Startup directory

Excellent work Barry.
:D

Probe in 18 worked fine....Probe in 19 said it detected video card, but no video, had to use vesa.

Wary 019:

I have rolled-back Xorg Intel and Ati PET packages, if anyone wants to try them. This is for Wary 019 only:
