Classic Pup 2.14X -- Updated 2 series

[tempestuous]

Code: Select all

pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP WEP104  WEP40

The default has only TKIP. I won't be using WEP so I left off the last two, and can now connect to my router in either AES or TKIP.

Yes, that's 100% correct ... but the Network Wizard in 214X already accommodates both forms of WPA encryption.
I suspect that in the course of your investigation and diagnosis, and then the discovery that your encryption mode had changed at the router, that you may have become confused.
The "default" wpa_supplicant configuration file you refer to in 214X is /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
and yes, it's been set up for WPA (TKIP) encryption ... only.
But there's a second configuration file - /etc/wpa_supplicant2.conf
which has been set up for WPA2 (AES / CCMP) encryption. This configuration file is referenced by the Network Wizard when you select the "WPA2" button. Refer netwiz-gui.jpg

But while investigating this I discovered that the "AP Scan" labels in the Network Wizard gui are unhelpful. So I have modifed the gui, and posted the improved version in the "Extra drivers for Puppy 2 with 2.6.18.1 kernel" thread -

here's a number lock app, just install it and restart X, I tossed it into the startup folder so it will autostart on restarts.

Dear All,

Does virtualbox sfs/pet available for 214X Top9?
which is build on kernel 2.6.18.1.

So that I can run a windows xp guest on puppy 214X host.

Sincerely,

Dear All,

I did frugal installation of 214X Top 9 on my machine.
Everything went fine.
Xorg wizard suggested 1024x768x16 resulution for my monitor.
I selected the same.
When I reached desktop, only task bar was displayed. Desktop background image was not displayed and icons were not displayed.
Is there a bug in 214X Top9?

I checked all of the screen resulutions Xorg suggested, but all were having same problem.

Choosing Xvesa, only flickered my screen.
Did anybody have such experience?

Can anybody please help me on this.
My motherboard is having Intel 810 chipset for PIII processor.


Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

For what it's worth, I run Top 9 (actually all of the 214X's since the beginning) mainly on a 733 MHz P3 with the Intel 810 graphics and I've never had a problem with the graphics.Possibly something may be corrupted in your savefile.

I have to second this. I also have the Intel i810 onboard graphics on my machine and I'm running Top8 now with no problems.

In my case when I installed. From the start and the following screen as the taskbar however. / Root / .config / rox.sourceforge.net / ROX so-linking to the / root / Startup the Filer / pb_Default. I fell through it several times but was good. In so far Pb_Default cured.

dropped pb_Default to /root/Startup and restart Xserver

Here's the latest netsurf browser, took a bit of compiling time and altering the usr/include/gtk2 files about 20 of them.
enjoy

Thanks for this one. I tried it, but unfortunately found it doesn't format pages with pictures very well and there's a lot of text overlap making some words unreadable.

I'm posting from an old version of Links-graphic, 2.1 pre18, instead (from when Links still had javascript).

Best,

CP .

Could someone please tell me if there's a way of adding new sets of desktop icons to Top8? I had a quick look at the forum search but there were nearly 1,000 posts to trawl through and I'm afraid I gave up at page 6.

Thanks in advance,

CP .

P.S. I'm very impressed with Top 8 (and I'm sure Top 9 is at least as good). I may have to rethink my view that the 4.20 / 4.21 based Puppies are the best ones.

[James C]

I've installed several sets of different icons in Top 9 by simply installing pets.As a test,I just installed this icon pet

from this post.No problems.

HTH.

Thanks, I'll have a look at these.

user to: 214x-Top9


something about hiawhata webserver.


always loads at startup, do not know why.

BootManager this off: s

In 214XRC5 I just made /etc/init.d/hiawatha.run non-executable (right-click - properties - un-tick the three exec-boxes).
I see that in 214X-top9 (not running it at the moment, so cannot verify) there are more files involved

Code: Select all

# ls -go /etc/init.d/*atha*
lrwxrwxrwx 1   27 2011-10-10 23:03 hiawatha.run -> ../rc.d/init.d/hiawatha.run
-rwxrwxrwx 1 1713 2010-08-22 16:45 rc.hiawatha
#

I'd suggest to first try if making /etc/rc.d/init.d/hiawatha.run non-executable is enough. If not, I'd continue with making /etc/init.d/rc.hiawatha non-executable. And if hiawatha would still be auto-started, I'd simply delete all three files (provided I'd have no intention of running hiawatha later on).

Hope that helps /MHHP

Hi,

MHHP solution works, although this is a bug that need some changes on 214X to solve this problem. >It works like this:

1. BootManager changes executable properties on "/etc/rc.d/init.d/*" files to enbale or disable any service.
2. "/etc/rc.d/rc.ervices" script executes all files on "/etc/init.d" directory (I think this was designed on this way to make Puppy works like other Linux distros).
3. To make both previous points work and avoid duplicated information, any file in /etc/init.d should be a symlink to an executable service file on /etc/rc.d/init.d/.

In the hiawatha case there are two executable files on /etc/init.d and just one is a symlink that can be controled by BootManager.

The definitve solution for the hiawatha service should be, delete redundant and bigger hiawatha.run file on /etc/init.d/, move the /etc/init.d/rc.hiawatha executable file to /etc/rc.d/init.d/, then make a symlink in /etc/init.d/ pointing to the moved executable file (´ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.hiawatha rc.hiawatha´).

There is also needed a small change on Bootmanager, (just to keep the description on the hiawatha service list), line 284:
add an * character before hiwatha, it should be:

*hiawatha*)

Or to avoid this change on Bootmanager, first rename the rc.hiawatha file to hiawatha (or hiawatha.run whatever you like but remember to delete the redunat file first) then move this file and finally create the symlink pointing to it.

That´s all.

Update; I've now installed a few icon sets and decided the tok-tok sets are my favourites so far (narrowly, over Buttonized). Here's my desktop, with the tok-tok dark icon set;

Just a quick note, as I've just come across trio's sfs converter, which I thought people here might find useful
- convert sfs3>4 and sfs4>3

Thanks for this link. I like Opera and am looking forward to trying this (I'm posting from Vector at the moment).

Hi guys I came across a chat client that uses the fox toolkit, so I compiled the Fox toolkit statically and compiled the chat app, so basically you don't need the toolkit install to run the app.
I also configured the fonts, background and I have it set automatically to log into the #1puppylinux
Its kind of like xchat but has smileys, sounds, flags etc lots of graphics.
Its too big to go into the 2.14X release as default, but still something to play with

here's goggles dvd player, I haven't tested it yet but should work. Its actually probably the best dvd player on the market for low resource pc's
"Note this is a static fox toolkit version", you don't need fox toolkit installed to work

I tried to compile Goggles Music Manager and when I did it worked fine but it had no Icons, so I looked at jemimah Static version she compiled, and that installed but needed a system link, This music manager is probably the best music manager going. just drag and drop your cd music files etc, it just works nicely.

I've been building the next release for the past 2 days, most people that would be like a week, lol well around 20hrs the first day and by the time I'm done today it will be close again, lol
why do you? you may wonder, do I spend so much time on it? Simple Its been a uphill battle, I had a lot of issues with Glib, GTK, GDK-Pixbuf, I would fix one issue and then another would happen, When I compiled the latest gtk2 about a month ago, it was 2 versions outdated, and compiled very easy compared to this.
But This time around I wanted to have the base ready for GTK3 where as the one I compiled a month ago would of been slightly outdated. Its kind of addictive to sort out all these issues and continue on with the build. I just finished compiling gtk3, It shouldn't add much weight because I used all the latest backend for gtk3 when I built gtk2, so it actually needed no extra deps, how good is that?
I'm only a bit worried about GDK-Pixbuf when I would use the new2dir script I would get an error and gtk2 wouldn't compile right, the png loader would fail, but if I used make install without the new2dir script it worked. So I guess I'll find-out when I test it.
I did a test and compressed the new GTK3 into a sfs, the end result was an additional 1.7MB to the iso, I don't think we can complain with that, just as long as everything works, lol
