I am very sorry for the confussion of Precise builds that I have done.
I have reposted with a notice that they are not official and that Barryk's Precise is.

Re: This Puppy doesn't like Radeon

In the DOTconfig of the 3.2.27 kernel that you have just compiled it has this:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m
CONFIG_DRM_TDFX=m
CONFIG_DRM_R128=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS is not set
The Xorg instructions for Radeon kernel modesetting are here:

http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo# ... odeSetting

It says there should be:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set
Do you think this could be why the current Radion GPU driver stack does not work on Precise Puppy? KMS is a requirement for the R600g driver.

The other Puppy devs say that they use your DOTconfig. So, if this is wrong, their kernel will not work with the current Radeon drivers, either.

Thanks
I am compiling 3.2.28 right now, with Radeon KMS enabled.

I also went through the digital radio/tv section, enabled some more drivers, as pemasu mentioned someone requested one of these.

#304 Post by rerwin »

Barry,
I have posted to oldyeller's precise thead here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 379#647379
the newest version of usb_modeswitch, as pets ready for woof-based puppies.They contain the components as generated by the source tarballs. Their pinstall scripts make your modifications during installation, so can be migrated to new versions as they appear.

I also posted the change log with the version I made for lupu, in its thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 351#646351

Please consider adding the packages to the beta3. Thanks.

Re: integration of rerwin fixes

#305 Post by rerwin »

Barry,
Thank you for adding my "fixes" to woof -- and for catching these misguided mods:
  • rc.shutdown: #120603 rerwin: Retain deletions in first pupsave file by copying whiteout files.
    pup_event_backend_modprobe: #120608 . . .; for rule-loaded modules either blacklisted or supported by modaliases, load no module.
They confirm that I need a code inspector.

For firmware.dep, the deletions were unintended. I assumed I was modifying a pure-woof version of the file, but apparently not.

The bcma association was added in support of peebee's work with the Broadcom drivers, which involves several complex modprobe.conf files, including one for bcma.ko. Adding the association to woof is part of my effort to minimize the need for developers to change puppy code. But it may be unnecessary if my experiment with moving most of the complex .conf logic into backend_modprobe pans out.

Re: remasterpup and miscellaneous fixes from lupu project

#306 Post by BarryK »

rerwin wrote:Barry,
The attached package is a collection of small fixes made in the development of lupu 528 plus others made while preparing the package under precise pup. The attached tarball has the difference files for each modified file. My intent is that these should go into woof, as they are puppy infrastructure fixes. Although the fixes are not dramatic, users might try the package if they need one of the fixes or to simply verify that it does no harm.
  • remasterpup2: Omits remastering of some files not originally in the puppy main sfs file, supports creation of "boot disks" without users having to modify puppy code and corrects typos in 2 dialog messages.
    • #120605 rerwin: omit /dev/snd content, /dev/.udev subdirectory and modem daemons from new master (because daemons reinstalled from firmware if needed).
      #120606 rerwin: support users' replacement of stripped /root & /etc with complete directories (for "boot disk").
      #120607 rerwin: Remove indicators/files for integrated user-installed packages.
      #120628 shinobar: no change id-string for reuse. (added in "-2")
      #120721 revert 'wildcards' option (from 120605); improve /dev/snd file exclusion; exclude /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache (shinobar). (added in "-2")
    delayedrun: Skips initial popups for boot disk sessions. Runs distro-specific version if present, to avoid need for developer modifications to official version.
    • #120606 rerwin: skip quicksetup if /etc flag set by remasterpup2.
      #120804 rerwin: use distro-specific delayedrun if available. (added in "-3a")
    shutdownconfig: For boot disk, skips prompt for saving personal data.
    • #120604 rerwin: avoid saving personal data if flag set in /etc (by remasterpup2).
    functions4puppy: Omits saving bad-shutdown indicator on multisession disk, to avoid false alarm message.
    • #120608 rerwin: screen out /.XLOADED when save.
    rc.shutdown: Retains deletions during first save of personal data.
    • #120603 rerwin: Retain deletions in first pupsave file by copying whiteout files.
    pup_event_backend_modprobe: Corrects indicators of active firmware tarballs and rule-initiated module conflict with modaliases for it. Adds modprobe option for later kernels/udev.
    • #120608 rerwin: Always save name of installed firmware; for rule-loaded modules either blacklisted or supported by modaliases, load no module.
      #120809 Add blacklist (-b) option to modprobes using modalias, to correct blacklisting and preferences. (added in "-3a")
    connectwizard: Corrects typo that causes bogus error message in log. Adds support for frisbee if present (from 01micko, slacko), to avoid developer-modified version.
    • #111118 add frisbee (added in "-3a")
      #120608 rerwin: get correct pid in wait loop.
    puppyinstaller: Saves old profile when updating a full installation, to assist user.
    • #120603 rerwin: preserve user-modified files in full-install upgrade.
    functions4puppy4: Adds support for all-firmware tarball directories and corrects setting of "firmware-loaded" indication. (added in "-3")
    • #120729 Add firmware_tarball_func support for firmware directory & set tarball name in firmware.dep.inst regardless of pinstall script - copied from backend_modprobe.
    MODULESCONFIG: Adds preference bcma:wl for Broadcom wifi.

    firmware.dep.3.2.18: Adds module bcma.ko to associations with firmware brcm. (added in "-3")
Please consider committing these fixes to woof (edited if necessary). Thanks.
Richard

UPDATE 7/22/12: Re-uploaded the "fixes" package (as -2) to correct remasterpup2 and add recent fixes to it. Also included a package containing only remasterpup2, for those with the original package already installed.

UPDATE 8/4/12: Re-uploaded the "fixes" package (as -3) to add functions4puppy4 firmware-tarball fix and firmware.dep update.

UPDATE 8/13/12: Added delta-3a package. Merged fix into frisbee-augmented version of connectwizard and changed delayedrun to allow a distro-specific (-$DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX) version, both so that developers need not modify puppy infrastructure scripts. Added modprobe option "-b" to backend_modprobe to retain blacklist and preference functionality with later versions of udev, discovered through 01micko's slacko 5.3.5 effort.
Fixes applied, see my blog:

just copied over the latest precise i had which included 5.2.52.sfs and a precisesave.3fs. So it worked on my previous equipment but greyscreened at "loading kernel modules" both with and without pfix=ram on my present eeepc 1025C. Hard shutdown then required. Will try the latest precise at some later time when i have a decent internet connection.

Another thing for the devx :
Besides including the check pkg for that i found
http://sourceforge.net/projects/check/files/check/
and including
libfl-dev (2.5.35-10ubuntu3)
the gcc-4.6.3 is giving me many troubles with older sources -ge 2years . Many times i need to specify "-lpthread -lrt -lm" as CFLAGS for the configure line .

There are actually also gcc-4.4.7 and gcc-4.5.x available for Ubuntu Precise :

1) No luck with KMS on radeon. Performance is dismal (ootb, see edit).

2) see below for PPM bug

--------------------------------------------

EDIT: Actually, I think adding the firmware has made a difference. I turned KMS back on and dmesg looks good, 3D gaming is ok , glxgears however seems to be telling lies.NOTE: I also installed xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629.files from ubunt-main in the PPM. (That's how I found the PPM bug)

@LateAdopter - can you try with the firmware pet below please, you need to reboot and perhaps run xorgwizard.

I actually got KMS working in Slacko with k3.5.2 and radeon micro code (firmware) compiled into the kernel image, but that goes a bit beyond the call, and may also be illegal to distribute, well at least the kernel wouldn't be covered by the GPL.

I had issues with the thing in Edubuntu as well, no glx at all, I ended up installing the fglrx proprietary driver in that. I'll probably do that here too. Note that there are 2 versions of fglrx now days, the main version and the legacy version. There are also reported issues of needing a patch but I don't think that applies to k3.2X series kernels.. I'll let you know how I get on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I encountered a bug in PPM, if you choose "examine dependencies" button that window closes and nothing else happens. I tried it a few times so can repeat.

Precise Puppy beta3, August 26, 2012

#319 Post by Billtoo »

I installed beta 3 on an 8gb flash drive and used grub4dos
I plugged the flash drive into my hp a810n desktop which has an ati
x1600 pro graphics card in it but it wouldn't go to the desktop.
After running xorgwizard and trying probe,radeon, and vesa with none
working I gave up.
I plugged the flash drive into my hp core2 duo desktop and it got to
the desktop okay.
Report video said the nouveau driver was in use, glxgears gave an
error message and wouldn't run.
I exited to the prompt and ran xorgwizard, chose probe, and xwin back
to the desktop.
Report-video said the vesa driver was installed and glxgears worked.
I downloaded the proprietary nvidia driver and installed the
devx+kernel source sfs.
When I went to compile the nvidia driver it said that the nouveau
driver was in use and offered to try to remove it, I said yes to that
and rebooted.
The computer wouldn't reboot, got a black screen and had to hold the
power button down to shut down,rebooted another puppy from the hard
drive and changed the menu.lst on the flash drive to nox, rebooted the
flash drive and compiled the propietary driver then xorgwizard to
choose the nvidia driver,xwin to get to the desktop, changed the
menu.lst back and rebooted.

I made an amd_fglrx .pet, I left most stuff in the archive, it's over 50M.
