The first time, an HSF driver is used, but fails, setting things up so that the intel8x0m driver get used the next bootup. Give puppy a chance to handle it on its own, before intervening. Would you verify that yours works that way? You can do that by doing a pupdial CHOOSE > ERASE ERASE. Click the ERASE (Okay) sequence twice, then reboot. You should see "no modem detected" in the connect wizard. Immediately reboot - the ttySL0 device should be detected that time. This (so far undocumented, but someday) technique is needed only for certain built-in modems that might use one or the other (HSF, Intel) driver, depending on the modem chipset involved. The double ERASE corresponds to the double boot requirement. The first ERASEs the ttySL0 device - rebooting at that point would re-detect the ttySL0. The second ERASE clears the disabling of the HSF driver, so that it will be used on the next bootup. Normally, you would not do the double ERASE, because you would want ttySL0. It is mainly for testing the "two-boot" function. Curiously, my laptop with the same modem as yours (hardware ID, anyway) used to behave as I describe here. But now the ttySL0 device is detected right away! That is a reason one cannot depend on which module gets the modem. Richard |

Barry, The HSF modem lockup during connection is now corrected in my fix package here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=467639#467639 The problem is caused by an incorrect build instruction regarding the "nvm" tarball creation. I have corrected the problem and will PM you the corrected instructions for archiving. The issue also applies to the HCFPCI modem support, so I have corrected that, too. However, I cannot test that because I don't have a usable HCF modem. Richard |

The (new, 2nd version) .pet package installs OK. I reboot, it comes up with the yafsplash telling me to restart xwin, I exit X to the prompt, xorgwizard, XOrg, Probe, choose fglrx, test. Test does not succeed. No black screen, no "If you can see this it's OK", it just blinks and comes up showing blanks before the refresh rates and driver-name. Attempting to run xwin anyway gives a black screen. The compile of ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run succeeds, and I did then the /lib/modules/fglrx/make_install.sh. Then did aticonfig --initial, and that produces what appears to be a good /etc/X11/xorg.conf. But, nope, still won't run. I have a vague memory of Mark Ulrich, last year, editing xorgwizard to deal with fglrx. Late night here, will look into that angle of it in the morning. Is anyone else succeeding (or, failing similarly) with Catalyst in Wary? |

Barry, for a long time now, selecting menu>desktop>JWM Configuration>Apply Current GTK Theme to JWM has caused the contents of /root/.jwmrc-tray to be deleted leaving the user with no tray at the bottom of the screen. I have posted about it before and helped a few folks recover their tray, but I dont know how to fix the basic fault. _________________ Spup Frugal HD and USB Root forever! |

Yes, thanks for reporting it again. I guess that I have been hoping someone might fix it! _________________ http://bkhome.org/blog2/ |

I am not sure but i do not see that happens on LupQ. The Jwmconfig2 in LupQ is different with only one file fixed by the Japanese team. The file is /usr/local/jwmconfig2/taskbar. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=59058 I am not sure whether it affects on the issue DaveS reports. _________________ Multilingual Wary-511 Lucid Puppy Quickset edition Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html |

Well, freeglut is a fairly small package, so I am including it built-in to the next Wary. So all the openGL libraries, libGL, libGLU and libglut will be available built-in. _________________ http://bkhome.org/blog2/ |

rerwin Ok, I formatted sda4 and did a fresh FULL install off of my DVD/RW This is how it went: First boot: -ran pupdial and it found ttySL0 -pupdial > CHOOSE > ERASE -back to the CHOOSE window and tried ERASE again and the window went blank and froze 
Killed pupdial! -back into pupdial > CHOOSE >ERASE -closed pupdial (erased twice maybe three times??????) -opened console and ran pmodemdiag -renamed it to 1stBOOTdiag shutdown & rebooted 2nd boot: ran pupdial and it found ttySL0 right from the start created an account tried to connect and it went into that NO CARRIER loop again ran pmodemdiag again and renamed it to 2ndBOOT diag Installed modem_update_to_wary098-woof-1.pet shutdown and rebooted 3rd boot dialed out with no problem!!!

# jwmconfig 0 23 sed: -e expression #1, char 2: invalid usage of line address 0 I had this vanishing jwm taskbar at Macpup-511 also , perhaps while running gtk-chtheme simultaneously. Diffed /usr/local/jwmconfig2 with several puppies : no output ( = no difference ) |

01micko has requested the /usr/sbin/download_file script for testing. Note to everyone else, this if for 01micko only. It is integrated into the Video Upgrade Wizard and PPM in the next release of Wary. It can however be tested standalone, for example: download_file http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/SDL_DOC-1.2.14-w5.pet ...you just get minimal download windows. You only get more dialogs if something goes wrong, for example you specify a non-existent file: download_file http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/yippedodah-1.pet Note that it only downloads to the current directory. It returns various error messages (see comments in file) that the caller program can act upon.

SHS & ATI. There is something really weird about 098 and ATI. Lupu seems to run on just about everything, new & old. Up to 094 runs on most kit including ATI, albeit with the known bugs, but at least they all boot. There is something entirely different about 098 and ATI chipsets/graphics and I've no idea what it is, except it's serious and reproducible. Done all the usual checks and double checks, new d/ls, new burns, changed memory, changed boards, changed video cards (where these are discrete cards - even Vanta & Savage4 - the beasts of the genre work). Needs the gurus to crawl all over it. |
