newest kernel 3.1.8 & 3.0.16 test on lupu528

[Lobster]

=========

Thank you.

I am in links. I am in the forum. It took me about 15 minutes to get here. This is for uber geeks. The slackware gurus will approve. This is hardcore. I think this is the first step in compiling my x driver in assembly and running it on anything remotely penguin. After this every browser is joyous.

guys
this is off topic - I am in the wrong forum and using Slacko b2
It is however a test of the links text based browser (hard to use) so if a moderator do not move.
This is what it is about

Normal service is now resumed

Runs fine on AAO netbook on USB stick.
@ 1.6 GHz with 1.5 GB ram.
Runs also on Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E
@ 3.0 GHz with 4.0 GB ram.
Thank you for this brand new pup.

[ilanrab]

sorry sorry ...
I will rebuild it as a pure "lupu"

No problem at all, I did think about doing that myself a few times (actually about a hundred times), but then I figured some lawyers with cops would kick down my door. lol
ttuuxxx

Sounds like the MS-Monopoly's Nazi tactics have had their intended affect on the populations.
Illegal/immoral monopolies must not be allowed to push for legislation of illegitimate laws, that may be supported by unscrupulous attorneys, and enforced by corrupt police power.
lol??? Not funny at all.

Can you reduce the picture width in your first post so it fits on small screens.
Embedded pictures may not exceed 600 pixels wide here.

I have fixed sfs loading and mounting for 3-d kernel. I have changed three files: filemnt, bootmanager and sfs_load (all in /usr/sbin)
Barry was right about this "some scripts in Puppy that are hard-coded to expect "2.6"."

Hi there

Downloaded and tried a manual frugal install in a named subdirectory on my HP550 laptop with an NTFS formatted hard disk.

Seems to run incredibly fast but 2 fundamental and showstopping problems encountered:

1. can't create a savefile - the 1st shutdown dialogue doesn't ask me for a size and goes straight to a summary page that shows a savefile size of -1024MB - and no savefile is created

2. my wifi is not detected even though the b43 modules appear to be present.....

Would love to try it more if these could be fixed....

Cheers

I used Shinobar's pupsaveconfig to make a save file.

[peebee]

I used Shinobar's pupsaveconfig to make a save file.

Did the same and made a savefile.

Discovered that /lib/firmware/b43 folder was missing so copied this across from vanilla 528

Needed modprobe b43 to get wifi to load so put this into
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

Network wizard didn't show any drivers. Boot manager also could not "see" b43 driver.

Loaded Frisbee from a standalone .pet (system crashed if loaded from menu -> network)

Loaded an old version of Iron (v13 wouldn't work - pages crashed, using v8 because I had it as a .pet)

Setup a wifi connection using Frisbee

Posting now from Iron8 over wifi

Can now try to test a few more things if you want....

peebee:Thank you
I do not know why /lib/firmware/b43 missing. When the step " make modules_install " It is not create the firmware in it.
b43 is third part firmware???

[pemasu]

B43 firmware normally comes from woof. Barrys woof consists of those firmwares, the kernel compile does not produce.
The location for Barrys included is:
/lib/modules/all-firmware/

and b43 firmware is: /lib/modules/all-firmware/b43.tar.gz

'Thank You' for the 3.0.4. Kernel in 528... Works like a dream and besides, this is the very first time any of the 528's worked for me without giving the ole 'KERNEL PANIC' on startup, so don't anyone ever say newer kernels aren't for older machines!! Wow.. is this thing fast, beats the 529 for speed I have to say.

'Nice job'

EDIT: Kernel Panic is still there only happens on reboot or startup AFTER savefile is created... All 528's are not creating a Full, Good savefile for me for some reason?!

Hi, when i shutdown or reboot,
it ask me to create a save file, but not the dimension, at reboot no save file on hd, so
lupu 528 k3.0.4 don't create a save file

what the problem?
2 partition ext2
frugal on subdir "lupu528-304"

i try to cp pupevent of old 5.2.8 but nothing

[rodin.s]

It was already discussed above. You should install pupsaveconfig.

wuxiandianzi:

Many thanks for this pup which I believe has great potential. Currently testing a manual frugal install on a fat 32 USB 2 stick. No problem creating an ext2 save file.
The following have been loaded:
3 sfs load fixes by rodin.s (then made executable)
Instant_Update-Lucid528-001
Chromium-15-Lucid
PupControl-1.7.5
fontwizard|Configure fonts for LCD
icewm-1.3.7pre2-L519-lucid
PupShutdown-1.7.2
news-0.5.0-0|GTK-based highly graphically-customizable RSS Ticker
lupu_devx_528.sfs

Can you please make the kernel source/headers sfs available in order to test the latest NVIDIA driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-285.05.09.run) ?

Having loaded the lupu_devx.sfs three new items appear on the utility menu:
Glade interface designer
Sysprof profiler
Valide
Has the correct devx been uploaded ?

[Speedyluck]

Thanks, now i see.
