Ever think of doing something different to get updates for Artfulpup?

Xenialpup and Tahrpup uses an update feature in Quickpet.
When something needs to be added or fixed.
An update zip file is made containing the changes.

Go to Quickpet>Info>Updates button
Click on updates.
It downloads and installs the update.
You now have a updated version with all the updates in it.

You could ask 666philb how he does it.

The repository is here to see what is in it.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Unmount Drives- Desktop

#447 Post by sszindian »

Artfulpup 17.11 + delta's

Open a drive file (HDD,SR0-CD,etc) on desktop - after closing, click on the little green box, it doesn't unmount, only opens the file again... have to right/click on drive and unmount from drop-down list.

>>>---Indian------>

On bigpup's post... I agree with him on the update thing,,, reason- I don't frugal or full install, I run every puppy I have from the CD/DVD with savefile on the HDD... Every delta requires me to burn a new .iso to keep updated... just lots of extra work on my part to use Artfulpup.

Just my 2-cents!!!

Weird - unmount via green 'mark' on drive on desktop works just fine for me - is this a pristine install or with a savefolder?

Again - no such problems here - more details of your configuration? Did it work with a previous delta?

I run a modified artfulpup with pcmanfm and its trashcan integrated into the structure so I booted both a pristine +12 and a +12 updated from my +11 to check the savefile finding and the closing of mounted drives from the desktop icon button. Both are ok for me both on the pristine boot and on the update. I do run the 4.14.14 kernel from LxPupSc as it has the kpti patches in FWIW. My Grub4Dos entry for the Frugal install to a 2nd gen i5 laptop (Fujitsu S761) is below and my savefile name is artfulpupsave-fresh.2fs in this case. It is an unencrypted EXT2, usually 256Mb:

Code: Select all

title ArtfulPup 17.11.10 with 4.14.14 kernel
  uuid 2598-C220
  kernel /ArtfulPup/vmlinuz pmedia=ataflash intel_pstate=disable pdev1=sda1 psubdir=ArtfulPup pfix=copy,fsck ipv6.disable=1
  initrd /ArtfulPup/initrd.gz
The deltas are a bit more work but I like them as they force/allow me to scrub my savefile before updating. It greatly prolongs its life I find and also gives me a fallback in case of troubles with the update.
Edit: Yes the menuentry title lags the actual pup. I try to keep the description current but it happens.

Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

I use a savefolder (in fact on every pup now)

peebee, I am caught in a catch-22 situation: I can't download the pet from PPM without a connection for which I need ndiswrapper.

Would you please provide a link to it or post the pet in this thread.
TIA
[UPDATE]
Found a way to get the pet via smokey:http://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Artfulpup/

@peebee
I can't get a working connection with ndiswrapper.
lsusb recognizes the Netgear WNA3100

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]
Using Network Wizard, I get screeny-1
Using SNS, I get screeny-2
I am using the same XP driver I use successfully with tahrpup-6.0.2, 6.0.5 & 6.0.6
After getting these results in artfulpup, I boot up tahrpup-6.0.6 ... connected for this post.

Any advice/suggestions?
TIA

Wireless antenna

#456 Post by hamoudoudou »

Wireless antennas :
Not all operators show good results.. Perhaps driver has to be added for some operators.. Then it depends on the computer model too..
my dongle is n300 as yours
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:8178 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
Mine is ok 66/100 but some are 12/100
At home i don't use dongle, winter time, only during summer season to compute in my garden.

All I can say is that the ndiswrapper .pet appears to install correctly....

Code: Select all

# depmod -a
# modprobe ndiswrapper
# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ndiswrapper           170696  0
Why it then does not like your XP driver I'm afraid I have no idea :(
Are there any clues in dmesg??

I posted an update to inform that I had found an ndiswrapper-4.6.59* at smokey's.
It was that version that I reported on.

As suggested:

Code: Select all

root# dmesg | grep ndiswrapper
#root
 
Nothing returned

Results of other tests are:

- lsmod does not list ndiswrapper
- PupSysInfo does not show ndiswrapper for drivers
- PupSysInfo (USB Devices) shows this for WNA3100

VendorID=0846 ProductID=9020 Rev=00.01
Manufacturer=Broadcom
Product=BCMUSB 802.11 Wireless Adapter
SerialNumber=7960
which agrees with results of lsusb reported earlier

Code: Select all

 
    modprobe ndiswrapper

    modprobe: FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found in directory /lib/modules/4.9.59-lxpup-32-pae


In a good puppy with ndiswrapper, I expect to see ndiswrapper.ko in the directory, /lib/modules/4.9./misc/. Neither the misc sub-directory nor ndiswrapper.ko exists.

Code: Select all

    # modinfo ndiswrapper

    modinfo: ERROR: Module ndiswrapper not found.
pFind's only success when searching for ndiswrapper in system files was /usr/sbin/ndiswrapperGUI.sh


These suggest that ndiswrapper is NOT installed.

So I installed a new artful1711+12 - situation unchanged.

Despite confirmation that ndiswrapper has not been installed in artfulpup, I chose to attempt installing the ndiswrapper pet in post #2. Error - could not be installed (see screeny).

artful1711+13 installed - ndiswrapper is NOT installed.
Attempt to install ndiswrapper pet in post #2 FAILED. (see screeny).

*The reason for the different results when trying to install the ndiswrapper pet is that the first pet from smokey is really, ndiswrapper_1.61-k4.9.56-lxpup-pae.pet and those at post #2 and the post here is ndiswrapper_1.61-k4.9.59-lxpup-pae.pet. Mea culpa!

@hamoudoudou
Please try these terminal commands and report. TIA

modprobe ndiswrapper
modinfo ndiswrapper

Ooops - sorry - problem with downloading things from nluug with a web browser which has been seen before. (download with wget is OK)

I've changed the link in post #2 to ibiblio - should now download an uncorrupted .pet which will install correctly.

PPM should have downloaded correctly.....???
