hi,

first of all thanks for the hard work!! 8)

I've downloded puppy tahr 6.0 CE PAE and I cannot connect to the internet. I use a netbook with atheros wired and wireless board. When I try to find a module manually I can find none. My question is: is the atl1c module and ath9k supported by puppy tahr or not?

Thanks for your reply.

mplayer

#45 Post by tubeguy »

I get this when trying command line mplayer:

Code: Select all

# mplayer 01-Track1.flac
bash: mplayer: command not found
When I go to /usr/local/apps/mplayer and try and run it opens VLC. No mplayer in tahr?

Re ndiswrapper:

In Tahrpup 6.0-nonpae, I ran "modprobe ndiswrapper" and got a "not found" error. So I ran "depmod -a" and "modprobe ndiswrapper". That found the module but returned a "could not insert" error.

That suggests a problem with the kernel version. I tried to compile ndiswrapper 159 from source, but it failed with numerous problems.

I checked this in a machine with a PCI ath9k card and it worked fine using PWF as the connection manager.

If you have done a frugal install, remember to include the zdrv_tahr_6.0.sfs file.

From my Sysinfo:
Manufacturer=NETGEAR WNA
Product=WNA1100
Driver=ath9k_htc

ath9k was there and working for me with no problems.
Network Wizard had my wireless detected and all I had to do was normal required setup.

Does Network Wizard see your hardware?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Ndiswrapper update:

I got new sources from Ubuntu. This compiled and works in non-pae. I don't know if it also works in pae.

thank rcrsn51
you beat me to it.

it seems PAE and noPAE need there own ndiswrapper, i thought as the kernel was the same version it wouldn't matter but it does... which means the one included in tahrpup only works with PAE, and then only after 'depmod -a'

ideally it should have been in the zdrv

hi tubeguy,

try resetting the wallpaper.
here's an example script you could put in /root/Startup

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
set_bg /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png
you may need to alter the sleep value

and tahrpup has vlc intstead of mplayer

Ok guys I have solved my problem with the internet connection.

I have a frugal install and I copied
vmlinuz
initrd.gz
zdrv_tahr_6.0.sfs

in the booting usb stick. In these conditions I didn't get loaded the zdrv file and my internet connection didn't work. Then I've copied these same files in the hard drive partition and everything works fine :D

By the way atl1c for my wired connection seems to have not been implemented in puppy tahr because I can only connect with ath9k wireless module. please correct me if I'm wrong.

The atl1c driver is present. Run: modinfo atl1c

And it installs manually. Run: modprobe atl1c

Check for error messages. Run: dmesg

thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've followed your instructions but I can't see my wired board recognized.

I attach a file with the dmesg output.

Thank you, looks like the issue was the wallpaper itself, it was a jpg which I converted to png and transparency works now.

@ariel: You can see the error messages at the end of your dmesg output. These seem to be occurring with some old drivers in some new kernels.

There is a lot of confusing information about this error on the web, but here is something to try:

1. Go to the folder /etc/modprobe.d

2. Create a file named atl1c.conf. Add the line

Code: Select all

alias netdev-eth0 eth0
3. Reboot

4. Type: ifconfig -a eth0. Do you get an eth0 interface?

5. Type: ifconfig eth0 up. Do you get an error?

6. Type: dhcpcd eth0. Do you get an IP address?

@ rcrsn51

I've followed the instructions but stopped at point 4

Code: Select all

# ifconfig -a eth0
ifconfig: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
have you any other suggestion?

No sound card found

#60 Post by LoboGrande »

Tahr pup 6.0 won't find the audio card on my '07 Toshiba Tecra M5. It won't even recognize my keyboard when running from a live cd on my Asus M5A97 mobo. Tahr 5.8.3 had no problems at all. :?
