Barry

some pics to show the vaio display when starting precise5610

+ wary5500 working great
+ precise5610 starting
+ precise5610 after 'Loading kernel modules
+ precise5610 fully started

Both of the vaio laptops are the same,
both exhibit the same problem.

pwidgets pet 2.4.1 in precise-5.6.1

#182 Post by davids45 »

G'day Sylvander,

I'm running pwidgets in a frugal precise-5.6.1 based on the 2.4.1 pet.

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... =827712100

Check the final few pages of the pwidgets thread for fixes to some of the problems you are likely to come across with some widgets.

Success or not seems to depend on just which widgets you want displayed.

Precise 5.6 :
- # ayttm
** (process:21467): WARNING **: Error loading plugin: libaspell.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

- # gadmin-rsync
** (gadmin-rsync:26051): WARNING **: Couldn't find pixmap file: gadmin-rsync.png

- Why are there 2 different gtkdialog links ? /usr/bin/gtkdialog and /usr/sbin/gtkdialog

- Still those 3 big bad files :
/usr/lib/libLLVM-3.0.so.1
/usr/lib/libicudata.so.48.1.1
/usr/lib/seamonkey-2.17.1/libxul.so
Is it possible to remove the first 2 ones, and replace seamonkey with lighter software.

Precise 5.6.1 testing on K6-2 500

#185 Post by Jades »

After reading Barry's blog post about whether Precise could replace Wary, I've had a crack at running it on my trusty K6-2 500 machine and, as I suspected I might, I'm having problems.

I'm booting from the CD, effectively pfix=ram as I haven't set anything up yet. It's getting as far as setting up the layered file system, but is throwing a kernel panic at the switch root phase. I've attached a photo of the screen. At this point it is also flashing the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights on the keyboard.

There's a link to the HardInfo report from Wary 5.5 in my sig.

Hi Jades,

Do you get the same result if you press F2 as the CD boots and input:

puppy pfix=ram

Have you checked the md5sum to make sure you got a good download? I've had the same problem with bad ISO's due to faulty downloads.

retrovol +wifi(BCM4313)

#188 Post by for_wov »

retrovol again doesn't choose/maybe it shouldn't? right snd_card (in my particular case have multiple cards). no big deal doing it manualy but that will not attract more users/maybe it shouldn't? [replaced hw:0 to hw:1 & unmuted speaker]. wifi works like a charm with SNS (simple network setup by BK) SEES NO MODULE in wlan section but WORKS (refused 'wl' for BCM4313 and no more experiments :)). my #1 puppy. Thank's BK and others.

It's a first-time boot from the disc so there is no save, but it also does it if I explicitly tell it to boot pfix=ram - hardware may not be compatible but on other Puppies that don't work it explicitly mentioned the lack of cmov and I don't think they got as far as trying to switch root.

I always do, and it also passed Imgburn's verification routine after I burnt it.

Precise 5.6.1 testing on K6-2 500

#191 Post by ETP »

Hi Jades,

Sorry to be pedantic but booting from a CD will not prevent puppy looking for and loading anything that contains the string “precisesave

I should perhaps have made it clearer that it was the first time ever that I tried using Precise on that machine, and therefore there wouldn't be any Precisesaves for it to find.

I've just booted from the Precise CD on the Pentium D machine (that's what I'm typing this on) so the disc isn't the problem either.

The AMD K6-2 family are i586-class and lack the cmov instruction so stuff compiled for a minimum of i686 usually doesn't work (apps giving Ilegal Instruction errors when run from the command line). Dunno whether that's what's happening in this case.

Finally got around to moving to 5.6.1 on the Athlon XP install.Zero problems so far.
Pleasantly surprised by how fast the PPM updated the package database..... much,much faster than in the past. All looking good so far.

Do you still have a K6-2 machine? Be interesting to see if yours runs into the same problem with Precise that mine does.

Thanks, the only reason I even tried to run it was Barry's blog entry mentioning how he thought it was a potential replacement for Wary on older machines. Until reading that I hadn't even thought it would run on my K6-2 500 since recent builds of Lupu and Slacko didn't.

Went ahead and tried from live cd........ kernel panic.Correct md5, verified burn and both with and without various boot parameters ...... switch root and immediate kernel panic.
Went ahead and did a quick manual frugal to remove the cd from the equation....kernel panic too.
I run Wary and ttuuxxx's 432 on mine at the moment.

To be fair I tried a v1 puppylinux CD from 2005 on my quad core i5, did not boot .... Checked fine.

Also we need to add MD5SUM files inside the iso file to check correct burns. I added this to Blu-ray remasters to confirm.

Cons:
Upgraded from a Gigabyte P35 motherboard that worked well with my system that dual boots Fedora Linux 16.

While Fedora booted up OK, there was no network connection.

After researching, it's because there's an Atheros AR8161 LAN that doesn't appear to have Linux drivers.

Additionally, Atheros AR8161 isn't mentioned in the Newegg motherboard description and it isn't on the Qualcomm Atheros website either.
It will probably cost $30 for a new NIC card as a workaround, but that's really my cost for not researching adequately. I'm disappointed that Gigabyte went bleeding edge with Atheros and abandoned their Linux User Community. It would be wise to be careful buying Gigabyte boards if the LAN isn't branded."

K6-II/550/256: Performing 'switch-root', Kernel panic, not syncing, etc, etc.
No cmov?
Wary 5.5 - no problems. Therefore, must retain Wary, but not necessarily upgrade/update it and certainly not bother to add obscure and/or newer/irrelevant HW. Probably the Wary project could benefit from simplification and size reduction if and when SW is 'improved'.
