Another PPM bug fixed.

PPM failed to download from one of the ibiblio.org mirror sites, reported unable to get size of file (ftp://ftp.lug.udel.edu).

The problem was in /usr/sbin/download_file.

Gunzip the attached file, make sure it is executable, place at /usr/sbin:

Hi,
1. My 8139 NIC have problem too. I checked that it loaded the 8139cp module. In dmesg, it said no 8139cp NIC card found and suggested me to use 8139too.
After rmmod 8139cp module and modprobe 8139too, the network interface found and I could go Internet now.
# lspci -nn -m
01:05.0 "Ethernet controller [0200]" "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. [10ec]" "RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ [8139]" -r10 "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. [10ec]" "RT8139 [8139]"

2. Mplayer could not play the file that have space character in file name. To fix it, need add "" in the line 20 of the mplayershell (/usr/bin/mplayershell), like this:
old:
if [ $1 ];then
new:
if [ "$1" ];then

Best regards,
ChiHang Lee

Glad to see James & the crew were able to step up because having a dose of Sod's Law here - can't find one when I need it. Seem to remember HP used to fit these and that some might've signed on as Tulip? But then, memory isn't what it used to be...

Hello

!

Never had any problem with detection of my NIC before, just clicking eth0 > Auto dhcp and on-line I go Smile

.
This time I had to go the route of Network Wizard > More > Autoprobe >>> Success!

More PPM oddities.

1) I noted on Barry's blog that I'm getting results in a package search even if I have a repo selected that should return no results. I have figured this out. findnames.sh does not search only the selected repo; it searches all active repos. Not only that; within the search loop it leaves /tmp/petget_filterversion pointing at a repo other than the one that is selected.

There is one other place that writes directly to /tmp/petget_filterversion (rather than going through /tmp/filterversion.sh, which I think is innocent), and that is within pkgchooser.sh. I don't know if that one is OK or not.

I think findnames.sh should only search within the selected repo. Otherwise, if several things are found, you have no idea which repo they are in. The way it is now, they appear to be in all the repos, because whatever repo you have selected, you get the same search results.

2) I am using this in Lupu511. I am guessing, because I am using these large repos, I should have the alphabetic radiobuttons displayed. At least that's what the code says, that I can tell. But I don't see them. I haven't chased this one down yet.

3) In pkg_chooser.sh, it almost looks like the file /tmp/filterversion.sh is used (in the radiobuttons) before it has been created. Just my impression, could be wrong on this...
