ArchPup is added on distrowatch waiting list http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=submit.

I was missing one thing from spaceFM compared to Thunar - emblem on read-only folders, so opened topic on
spaceFM forum. Main developer responded very quickly and positively so this might be implemented in future.
Here is that topic if you need to add some comments: http://sourceforge.net/p/spacefm/discussion/general

okay ArchPup boots with the replaced kernel, but it refuses to run X.

EDIT: At the console I did manage to get the kernel version of the modified ArchPup:

Code:
3.2.33-4g


But still no X

Did you try Mavrothals suggestion here?

I mean it being able to use .pet would allow me to at least be able to use pmusic on Archpup. But I highly doubt that adding a puppy repo to pacman,may spew out trouble.


I downloaded pmusic 2.6.7 from here.

followed Mavrothals instructions and installed it with inpet,

menu entry existed but I started it from terminal. It worked fine Laughing
playing real good music too - Hoovers -- Ride with me

There is some report of things missing

Code:

/usr/local/pmusic/pmusic: line 401: /root/.pmusic/tmp/DONT_SAVE_PRESET: No such file or directory
which: no streamripper in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin)
which: no pfilesearch in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin)
which: no pfilesearch in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin)
/usr/local/pmusic/pmusic: line 417: /root/.pmusic/tmp/DONT_SAVE_PRESET: No such file or directory


I'm pretty sure it could be fixed.

I know you dont have net yet but when you do pmusic would be availible for you

I can't believe I forgot to copy the adrv*.sfs file to the folder with the modified ArchPup. No wonder why X wouldn't load.

well X still won't load, even with the adrv, so I'll never know if the wifi works or not.

is the adrv loading?

try from that tty prompt:

Code:
sfs_load adrv-12.12.sfs
archpupx


and see if x will start.

I have a laptop with Elantech touchpad

I think it is detected as mouse??(How do you make sure?)

The solution then would be to install psmouse-elantech from AUR
I did.

I had to add link 3.6.8 to 3.6.8-1-ARCH in /usr/lib/modules

it compiles OK and put new psmouse,ko in /usr/lib/modules/3.6.8-1-ARCH/update dir

When I restart nothing new? Is it auto-loaded?


can I please get some input?

when you do:

sfs_load adrv-12.12.sfs


from the tty prompt, does it say that the sfs file successfully loaded?

Actually the adrv automatically loads at start up, it's the fact that the main sfs gives a error when it is being copied to RAM, that could be causing errors.

i'd try moving psmouse.ko file inside the folder /lib/modules/3.6.8/misc and:

Code:
depmod -a
modprobe psmouse


and see if modprobe loads it without an error. if so add psmouse to the addlist line in /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG...and reboot, and hopefully it works.

I am thinking right now though that this could be3 the scenario here.

These are the (most likely) components that are conflicting with each other:

-The archpup.sfs/adrv.sfs - fighting over mount points
-mount points - explains why the archpup.sfs won't mount
-the kernel - not sure why
-the init system? - maybe

Hopefully someone could explain why a lot better...

EDIT: Also there is most likely a missing environment variable that is preventing from X from loading at start up. I think the variable deals with the window manager. Not sure though...

well let's test that theory....rename the adrv-12.12.sfs to xadrv-12.12.sfs....and see if the archpup-12.12.sfs loads to ram, now that the adrv doesn't exist. if so, afterwards try from the tty prompt:

Code:
sfs_load xadrv-12.12.sfs
archpupx
