Similar problem with detecting audio card on a different PC:



However on a positive note did managed to get my i810 gfx working only after I looked for the additional package available in the reps for this card.

xf86-video-i810-2.1.1-w5.pet

Finally could not get to use my ATi gfx card, even though I tried all the additonal pets available in the rep for this brand

win (Super/Hyper/Meta) hotkeys don't work. They did in "4.3.*". To enable the win key. Set the keyboard model to "pc104". The hotkeys were set using JWM. If I use XBindkeys, I can the have win hotkeys.

Hi Peter:

The reason that I wanted to try Wary is the Lupu runs kind of slow on the Vaio. I thought that Wary, since it is intended for older machines, might be a little snappier. In fact it is snapper, but it is not a fair comparison since the wifi stack is not running under Wary and it is under Lupu.

I did move the /lib/network folder as described in the thread.

You're right, this may not be the best place in the forum to discuss this. I'm new here and I was not sure what the community considers a "bug". To me, the wifi working with one recent version of puppy and not another, across multiple machines, seems like a bug. Perhaps the network stack in Wary is not intended to handle the particulars of my wifi network (hidden ESSID, WPA-TKIP). I wanted to swap the kernels mostly as a test. For what it is worth. I have tried both a USB and a PCMCIA wifi adapter with the Viao, and well as the build-in wifi on another laptop running Wary, and none of them connect to my network. So the indications are that this is not a hardware/driver problem, but something more general in the network stack.

I have not gone through the manual configuration steps. Thanks for the link, that is the next thing to try. I'll start another topic under bugs when I find something.

Thanks for the help,
-Aaron

Detailed description of the problem is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62131
Last Wary that I can run OK on that PC is Wary-0.3. It has hda-kernel. I want to run Puppy-5.0 on that. It has sda-kernel. Is it possible to make hda-kernel for Wary-5.0?
PuppyRus-2.0 retro has such kernel (same version but with hda). But it is unstable and I like Wary more.

Hi Barry I compiled The latest Scribus, Its very large due to the plugins, I used a static QT 4 I compiled on 2.14X, Kind of cool that it works on Wary. The pet scribus-1.3.9-i386.pet is 213MB, lol 492MB expanded and that's after its been stripped, did you want the pet, I could upload it. If not I understand its kind or really big.
I also compiled a few other static qt apps that are pretty good.
I'll upload those later.

next is smplayer, smplayer is gui for Mplayer, so you need to have mplayer installed for this to work. This Gui is probably the best gui of all media players, its layout is nice and clean and has buttons for things like subtitles etc. Fullscreen works on jwm, if you stop the movie, set it fullscreen and then start the movie.
