I installed your .deb, powered off, removed the dongle then rebooted and wifi
connected automatically as before.
Brilliant work, thanks a lot, really appreciated.
I will now go ahead and do an install of 2018-06-04.

Ah, thanks, edited my above post.rcrsn51 wrote:Rebooting is safest, because it activates the blacklisting. Otherwise, you need to do something like
Code:
modprobe -r b43 bcma
modprobe wl
@Fred: Where is the DEBIAN folder hiding in these debs? It looks like "depmod -a" is being run, but I don't see how.
Strange, there is a DEBIAN folder with inside control and postinst script.
I made these debs on Bionicdog, maybe that makes some difference in how it's built. How do you extract ?
I use always redeb <package>.deb

I use to extract (well, it's something like that in "redeb" script):rcrsn51 wrote:I used "dpkg-deb -x" and "dpkg -x", but I can't remember now what platform that was on.
Not a problem. I had faith that you built them correctly.
Code: Select all
dpkg-deb -x <package>.deb .
dpkg-deb -e <package>.deb ./DEBIANFred
@Fred: While we are discussing out-of-kernel drivers, it might be worthwhile looking at nvidia. I made instructions here for Debian, but they don't appear to apply to Ubuntu.
Any thoughts?
[Edit] According to this, you can replace the nvidia-detect command with ubuntu-drivers, then get the desired nvidia package.
I'm guessing that you would also need a linux-headers package.

Yes I still have the canon and all those packages. I also have a samsung ML2162 which is what I use mostly now.
In relation to the install of 2018-06-04 I installed the latest flashplayer but it didn't work. Tried it in the older install and it didn't work there either.
I then copied flashplayer from a tahr install and installed it in user,lib,mozilla,plugins.
That worked, just had to enable it on some sites.
Got to get out and about for a while, will check in later.

Are you using this in a Puppy? With which driver?I also have a samsung ML2162
HP is now handling Samsung printer support. I went here, but there is no Linux driver.
But there is still the Unified Linux driver for the ML-2160 series.
I have a few samsung driver pets which still work with most 32bit puppies.
They don't work with 64bit systems
It was you who provided them for me.
I also have unifiedlinuxdrivers 3.00.90.tar.gz and 4.00.36.tar.gz.
I recently installed the samsung printer on a tahr64 install using the unified driver. It has an auto script that does the instillation for you.
I ran the unified driver on Bionic Dog. It actually created a gui and menu listing but it didn't continue and setup the printer as it did in tahr,
The gui opens but doesn't respond.
It seemed to install the proper driver in cups.
I was able to setup the printer with the proper driver but it didn't work.
If either of the printers could be set up it would be a bit a of an achievement.
At the moment I keep a 32bit Tahr install for printing.

Let's get on the same page - are you currently using BionicDog 32 or 64bit?
How are you installing the printer in Puppy - as an ML-2160?
Can I assume that you have run "apt-get install cups"?
I have the Unified Driver package uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz. (This is a recent version).
I extracted it, found the "install.sh" script and ran it from a terminal. It completed.
I then did the standard CUPS printer install with my SCX-3200. The printer worked .
------------------------
I repeated the process with BionicDog64 and the printer initially turned on. It also installed the driver, and the CUPS printer setup worked.
I am not seeing any GUI. In which menu?
I wonder if your old ULD packages work differently and are maybe incompatible.
I would go to the HP site above and get the ULD for the ML-2160. Do your setup with it.

On this laptop I'm running Bionicdog64 on which I would like to install the ML2162.
I have two other laptops with different systems running.
On one of these I have Tahr 32bit with the printer installed using a pet you provided some time ago.
On the other I have Tahr 64bit on which only yesterday I installed the printer using the unified printer package. It worked by clicking on the auto script and follow instructions. This was my first time using it so i'm not to familiar with it.
I then installed cups in Bionicdog64 and tried using the unified printer package with the printer turned on and it installed as a program with a gui in the system menu. The gui opened a window that would have installed the printer but didn't respond from that point. The ML2162 driver showed in cups but when installed it didn't work.
Obviously there was an incompatibility.
Tomorrow I will follow your suggestions and see how I get on.
Just one thing would you run through how to use "install.sh"
Thanks.

When I extract the uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz, it makes a folder named "uld". The contents are shown below.
Open a terminal (F4) and type: ./install.sh

I installed the printer with these pets. They install the ML2162 driver in cups.
samsung_print-4.01.17.pet
samsung_print-4.00.35.pet
These are a bit hit and miss but work best with older puppies.
Does this answer your question.
I downloaded and installed "uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz". It seemed to install OK.
Now cups does not appear in the menu so don't know how to access it. (checked cups is installed).
I don't want to take up any more of your time on this. I'll keep working on it, probably start again from scratch.
Thanks for sticking with me.
Edit: When I ran ./install.sh in terminal it went straight to a terms and conditions window so I don't think it installed at all. I'll start again.

The 64bit BionicDog has a bug - the root user's password should be "root", but it's not.
Run the "passwd" command and reset it to "root".
I was confused by your statement above:

It suggested that you had already opened the CUPS web interface and done a CUPS setup, just like you would have done in Puppy.The ML2162 driver showed in cups but when installed it didn't work.
