Precise Puppy version 5.4.92 (5.5beta)

Exactly the same setup as above (5.4.93) and the same Laptop.

All seems very good and all basics working OOTB.

5.4.93 feels very slightly nippier, but not really much in it.
Running temperature and CPU activity seem about the same.

Both outstanding on a 10yr old Laptop. Again - many thanks.

I did a remaster of 5.4.93 adding quite a few applications from
pets,debs,and ppm,the iso grew to 500+ mb but the dvd works well on several
computers.

Precise Puppy 5.4.92
- faster to boot than 5.4.90
- I think acpi_cpufreq is not needed (where does it work?)
- /tmp/dhcpcd.log "Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory"
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
- some files groups are still wrong
- /etc/apm obsolete
- /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ missing
- /etc/gconf/ obsolete
- SMB Browser broken :
open /root/network/ in ROX click "Network", shows "scanning network, please wait", then "finished!" then nothing...
From command line, AppRun, displays "it dosen't seem like you are..." "bash: /root/options: No such file or directory"
- gnome player "open location" missing icon
- Bright color in console doing ls -la /dev/ram comes from "/etc/profile" line 188 alias ls='ls --color=auto'

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

QuickSetup - User assist for initial system starts
Can someone explain why when the wireless laptop does not have a LAN cable plugged in when the PC is booted pfix=ram for beta test, I do not get a Network section; versus when a LAN wire is plugged in, I do?

The Network section is equally important for use of the laptop in both cases of wire out or wire in.

Is this a bug? If so which is the bug...showing it or not showing it?

PostPosted: Sat 23 Feb 2013, 04:36    Post subject: FIND command, command use, or terminal problem  
I was searching for the existence of a file using the find command.
This works
Code:
# cd ~
# find / -name grl*
As does this, too
Code:
# find /mnt/sda1 -name grl*
BUT THIS results in errors shown
Code:
# pwd
/root
# whoami
root
# cd /mnt/sda1
# find . -name grl*
find: paths must precede expression: grldr1.old
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
# find / -name grl*
find: paths must precede expression: grldr1.old
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
Is this
  1. a terminal problem?
  2. a find command problem?
  3. incorrect use of find command?
Or could this be indicative of some other issue(s) in the terminal.

Note: This may or may not be important in light of filesystem changes that are being introduced in Precise: BUT, /mnt/sda1 is a FAT16 drive on the HDD.

Here to help

I have found a problem with use of compressed-NTFS and both versions of 5.5beta.

I cannot duplicate this problem. I made a compressed NTFS drive and booted 5493 using Grub4Dos. Everything worked correctly, including saving to /mnt/home.
But, my laptop has a single HDD with GRUB4DOS in the MBR and grldr on the first drive (a factory FAT16). I am not having this problem with other distros on the same compressed-NTFS partition. Just with Precise.

I decided to change the GRUB4DOS config for Precise from
Code:
find --set-root ===> root (hd0,4)
This only changed the aborting message slightly as follows:
Code:
Filesystem type is NTFS, partition type 0x07
  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3e00, size=0x298250]
  [Linux-initrd @ 0x3f5f6000, 0x1ccc76 bytes]

uncompression error
--System halted
The folder that contains the Precise on the compressed drive is "/LinuxBoots/Barry". On the non-compressed NTFS where it boots, the pathname is identical. The folder contents are identical in each.

This appears as if there may be something in the distro that causes this. I suggest this because all the other distros boot fine from the compressed partition except this Precise 5492 and 5493.

The disk layout is
    Partition 1 - FAT16
    Partition 2 - NTFS
    Partition 4 - FAT32
    Partition 5 - compressed NTFS

No, it is not a bug, it is a deliberate design decision.

The next window advises to click on the 'network' icon to establish a network connection, and that has the network settings, including setting hostname.

The Internet Connection Wizard is my preferred place for all network configuration.

Do it this way:

# find . -name 'grl*'

Always put glob wildcard in single quotes to prevent evaluation before execution.

I test recompiled 3.8 kernel. I did add bunch of multimedia - dvb drivers. I unticked first the automatic creation button in make menuconfig ....under multimedia ( I dont remember the exact name of that tickable option )....and then I did tick manually the drivers in multimedia section. I got the missing ivtv with hauppage pvr drivers. The problem Billtoo posted.
Brcmsmac was added just by ticking it, since it was now tickable option...due to bcma.ko inclusion.

I provide here the diff comparision of those drivers I was able to add. I am sure there are some multimedia drivers which are not needed, but anyway....there were alot useful drivers left out.

Poulsbo.ko should be left out. It interferes the /kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/gma500_gfx.ko usage if and when the modesetting_drv.so ( in /usr/lib/x/drivers-alternate ) version 0.6.0 has been added and the cedarview fix pet by 01micko has been added/installed.

As aarf posted. Modesetting for intel atom with gma graphics does not work atm.

2. The proprietary NVIDIA 173.14.35 and 173.14.36 drivers fail to compile with an error message:

ERROR: The kernel header file
'/lib/modules/3.8.0/build/include/linux/version.h' does not exist. The
most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files in
'/lib/modules/3.8.0/build' have not been configured.

The required file is, in fact, missing.


Hmmm, yes, it seems that 3.8.0 kernel source no longer has that file.

Nvidia driver 310.19
====================
This driver needs to be patched for kernel 3.8. Download the Nvidia driver and the
patch file, then run the commands:
sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.19.run --apply-patch patch_nvidia_310_19.run_for_3.8
sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.60-custom.run
Change the names for 32-bit systems.

I wonder if something can be done for Intel driver on 5493 k3.8
The Hardware report shows the device as Intel 82845G/GL
(Brookdale-G/GE) chipset Integrated graphics driver. I've
attached a pdiag in case it's of some value. There was no
personal save file, just the raw main sfs.

The symptom is mostly black screen and toolbar at startup.
I manage to restart x server and it's ok then. 5492 works fine.

Downloaded and installed Precise 5.4.93 (k3.8.0) ..... Neither pnethood nor YASSM connect to a machine running Puppy (Slacko, Wary), but do connect to a Windows XP share.

This problem is specific to very new kernels and Samba-TNG servers. I don't think that there is any solution.

You will need to use a full Samba package in Puppy.


Here is a solution that works for me with YASSM and Samba-TNG servers:

Samba-login has an Options box. Enter sec=ntlm

Can someone else please test this?
