Hi!
The video driver im using now is the modesetting. The Precise (non Retro) recognize my old Intel GMA. Can i install the correct drivers in this Tharpup?

You probably are using the correct Intel driver.
The modesetting is something required with the newer Linux kernels.

To see what driver is being used.
Go to menu->System->Pup-Sysinfo->Devices->Display->Summary

Thank you bigpup!

The driver was correct!

I am just trying out Tahrpup 6.0 for the first time, and it looks like a great distro. Thanks to all who have invested their time and energies into making it happen!

Now a newbie question.

Using Quickpet, I have installed Google Chrome; it appears in the "Interrnet" menu, and is working well.

But when I click on "browse" on the desktop, the system still wants to exec "palemoon". How can I link "Chrome" to the "browse" icon as the default browser?

Right click on the desktop icon and select 'open as text' option. Then change palemoon to chromium (or chrome, depending on which you have installed). Save change. The icon should open chromium now.

Thank you Terry H and 666philb for your responses, but I still floundered for a couple of hours trying to change the default browser from palemoon to Google Chrome.

I tried entering "Chrome" and "Google Chrome" in both the "Default Applications Chooser" and directly editing the bash file associated with the "browser" icon. No prizes won with those two entries using either method.

After stumbling about for awhile, I discovered that "googlechrome" is the entry that makes the file activate! Just thought I would pass that info along.

In tahrpup 6.0, the "tabs" option of the urxvt terminal requires Perl modules that are not available in the standard release, but are available if one loads the devx sfs.

However, loading devx is not necessary.

Listed below are the required files which you can copy from devx_tahr_6.0.sfs, or simply use the attached pet which contains the extracted files.

Adding these files to the base tahrpup will also stop messages in xerrs.log about missing Perl modules when running urxvt.

/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/auto/List/Util/Util.bs
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/auto/List/Util/Util.so
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/auto/re/re.bs
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/auto/re/re.so
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/List/Util.pm
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/List/Util/XS.pm
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/re.pm
/usr/lib/perl/5.18.2/Scalar/Util.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.18.2/integer.pm

Why Conky shows a different space left in the HDD, than the Partview?

When I modify rox-filer setting to use double clicks, it works on files, but not on the "desktop" icons. They are still "single click".

This modification worked in puppy precise 5.7.1 though :'(

Seems to work OK for me.

There are two settings you have to change.

For desktop icons
go to Rox-filler->Options->Pinboard->Pinboard Behavior
Uncheck single click to open.

Clicking when in Rox
The setting is at Options->Filer Windows->Window Behavior
uncheck single click navigation.

I am running tahrpup 6.0 with LXPanel used as a launcher. It is appearing in the JWM Tray as a running program.

I have checked with JWM Window Management, but there doesn't seem to be a setting which will allow what I want.

Is there any way I can stop it from appearing in the tray?

If I use wbar as a launcher, it does not appear in the tray. My preference is to use lxpanel.

Not just you. And not just Tahrpup. And frugal install, too.

Maybe a known issue.

Hi,
i'm maybe ignoring something about kernels module updating...
I've built the latest wacom kernel moduleversion 25.0 (see here p18 this thread):
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... e21d95d2c8
once installed, i did

Code: Select all

#modprobe -r wacom

which reports something like

wacom module builtin ...evdev builtin

Further attempts running

Code: Select all

#depmod -a
#modprobe wacom

do not succeed
as

Code: Select all

#lsmod

reports the original 53kB sized wacom.ko keeping being loaded, whereas the version 25.0 one sizes 83kB.


Thanks in advance for any advice
Charlie

ps: why on earth wanting to update the wacom.ko module?
I'm using one of those wacom tablet since years.
Using also a lightweight music score editor, Nted (which can be OOTB installed through the PPM from the trustys repos).
On Tahr-6.0PAE (kernel 3.14.20 as also 3.17.4), editing music note is rather uneasy, really quite unfeasable, as the music note moves much slower than the wacoms pen pointer.
On the other hand, using the common wire mouse works OK: the music note moves the sme speed as the mouse pointer.
This is the first time i've encountered this: no problem on other puppies like wheezy-3.5.2.X or earlier ones.
One more information: this occurs even when /etc/X11/xorg.conf is free from wacom tablets options parameters, i.e. only with the wacom kernel module loaded.

chromebook touchpads are now working i believe with the 3.17.7 kernel

hey 666philb,

Thanks for tahr 6 and congratulations for it getting a 10/10 score in Linux Format review!

I confirm that toshiba chromebook cb30 touchpad now works with the 3.17.7 kernel. But as I posted (7 or so posts before), there seems to be no touchpad right-click option and later I found touchpad scrolling seems missing too.

The synclient gives the message "synaptics driver not loaded" or something like that, hence I have not found a way to configure the touchpad.

Is there anything I can try to enable right-click and scrolling for the touchpad?

hi yerc1

can you post your /etc/x11/xorg.conf

[666philb]

definitely some oddness going on ....

hi yerc1

can you post your /etc/x11/xorg.conf

Please see attachment.
Thanks.

Machine T60 Thinkpad running 6.0 thar.

In the bottom right gadet next to the sound is a cpu temp indicator. I clicked it to get more info and the temp seemed to jump. What seems to happen is the steady rush of warm air slowed way down and the CPU temp went to ungood levels fairly quickly. I shut down waited a while and restarted. The temp went was out of the red and continued to go down...*And the air was blowing out again.

I don't know if this is my laptop or the temp id program but its a scary thing if its the program. Does anyone else have a T60 that might try the same thing and see if this repeats on another machine? I have access to a second one but I can't lay hands on it for a while.

Otherwise - things working straight out of the box perfectly. And I'm not playing around with the temp gadget and its running at a safe 62 degrees.

Thanks for the new system. Oh! I'm curious about being able to change the Kernel, Is it possible you will go to an even newer version? It kind of solved a lot of issues when I went to raring on my main machine.

hi 666philb, thanks for looking into the touchpad issue.

the above didn't help.

in dmesg output i found 24 occurrences of the following lines next to each other:

Code: Select all

find_i2c_adapter_num: i2c adapter i2c-designware-pci not found on system.
platform chromeos_laptop: Driver chromeos_laptop requests probe deferral

do they mean anything?
