Seems to have fixed it thanks Chris....

" A linux novice here,

Why use that?????

Why not Frisbee.....for wireless.????

Or Network wizard for ethernet.

This is 4 wireless but basically the same technique...from Catdude.

Just select Ethernet >>> for cable.

Select >> Test

Select >>> Auto DHCP

Done a reasonable research digging through this forum, seem to vaguely understand the underlying problem, but whatever tip I apply (provide my own DNS numbers, let it resolve them on its own, leave it as it is, remove the symlinks), nothing works - this is what inevitably comes out:

.....TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start: line 193: 18024 Treminated $CONNECT "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1
and
pppoe-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe)

Your help is desperately needed - thank you in advance.

Hi.
I use pppoe conection most of the time.
Shinobar helped me a lot long time ago.
Since then i have never had any problem
Just go at that page:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 336#547336

download the file do your settings and hope it will work for you too.

Thank you very much, yordanj94!

Going through your link I came across another solution posted by wuwei here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 239#483239
miraculasly, it worked! At last, the little bitch (figuratively speaking) has learnt how to go online. Feels good. This dog will hunt. Later on, I will also try shinobar's method, but will do that on Lucid and Racy..

Thank you again.

PS
since I reposted my cry for help here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78213
should I ask mods to delete it?

01micko,

Your Cutecom pet works on FatSlacko.... thanks.

Hi oldyeller,

Just do a check that your mic is enabled in Retrovol by right clicking the speaker icon in the tray. There should be 2 choices, front and rear, also make sure the capture is checked and increase the slider accordingly.

You can also do the same thing with alsamixer, the Mixer -generic in the multimedia menu will start alsamixer.

HTH.

Hi Mick

Thanks for the Help it works now

Slacko 5.3.3 has been stable on my Intel Brookdale chip. However, needed to make a small fix to get my Linksys Wusb54 dongle working. Newer versions of the kernel use a defaulted power management mode that will not allow these older Linksys to get a valid IP address from your router. You can see the connection in Puppy's various connection methods - you'll see wlan0 "rtusb2500" module in either the Simple Network Setup, or in the Classic Network Setup. However, the connection simply will not complete, especially if using WPA2 encryption. The fix:

1. To see the issue type "iwconfig" in a terminal. Note that power management is listed as "on".
2. To turn it off, type in "iwconfig wlan0 power off". You should then be able to make a connection. To survive reboot, you need to:
3. Open the file at /etc/rc.d/rc.local with a text editor. Create a new line at the bottom that says "iwconfig wlan0 power off" Save the file.
4. On reboot, your connection should still hold. To test it, type "iwconfig" into the terminal, and power management should be listed as off.

Hope this helps someone else. My situation may be unique - perhaps a combination of older kit, WPA2 encryption on the router, and the fact that I run "AES" encryption on the router (a WRT54G) solely.

01micko,

any idea how I can proceed ? For attachment, see my earlier post (1 page back)

It is however not listed under /dev/video (symlink to /dev/video0).
I found some info under input devices (see attached).

Hi Mick,

I downloaded woof and doing a build on slaoko 5.3.3

I am missing a pet called glade3_DEV-3.6.7-1-w5c.pet also psync 2.8 went on the internet and still can;t seem to find them.

Any ideas?

Thanks
oldyeller

Oldyeller,

From the Wary repository: http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/

I've found a slightly different version-name here -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... .7-w5c.pet

Hi Tman

I found the same one yesterday I guess I will have to change the specs on this to use it. I have found psync 2.6 in slacko at ibiblio. I also found psync 2.7 ui.pet not sure if I can use this or not.

Thanks
oldyeller

Been using Slacko533 since the day of release and it's just magnificent!Crystal clear graphics,low resources and everything functions to perfection on my hardware.
.
Thanks again Mick

5-3.3

Runs like a dream! haven't found any faults with weeks of testing.

Awhile back in this thread I mentioned that 'slideshow-0.1' did NOT work with Slacko... only Puppy version that it hasn't so far... I asked if there was a 'fix' or an alternative? (Never received an answer to that question?)

Anyway...Since then, I found xscreensaver-15 in the official slacko repo but, that says it doesn't support the GL ??? Is there a work-around for this or is there something else one might try? This is about the only feature Slacko lacks (at least for me!)

'Thanks'

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

'slideshow-0.1' did NOT work

Go to folder with images
click on image
press f5

Any good?

Lobster:

Pretty neat... yes it works!

It doesn't give the 'nice-effects' changing pictures that slideshow or screensaver does and not automatic when screen goes blank after 10-minutes (like xscreensaver) with slideshow-0.1, I had an icon on the desktop that did a nice job and had some nice ways of changing pictures, boy, if someone can do a script that will start the f5-one automatically? That would be nice!

Anyway Lobster, 'thanks'

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

Hewlett-Packard's Linux Imaging and Printing software (HPLIP) provides drivers to Print, Scan and Fax for capable all-in-one HP devices.
For a list of supported devices, see http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/su ... bined.html

Lite versions of this software are available in the puppy linux world since long time ago, allowing printing and scanning,
but excluding faxing and lacking of the hplip's Graphical User Interface (GUI). See for instance:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 317#439468 or
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 080#444080

Some people are happy with hplip lite versions. Others may like having access to full hplip capabilities.
This has a price to be paid: hplip has a large amount of dependencies.
I have done the exercise to look for all dependencies for implementing a properly running version of full hplip in slacko-5.3.3,
and have made the package hplip-slacko-5.3.3.pet,
a ~60MB file which expands to ~300 MB -be sure to have enough room in your save file!! ,
that includes the dependencies:

dbus-python-0.83.1-i486-1.txz
net-snmp-5.6.1-i486-1.txz
pygobject-2.26.0-i486-1.txz
PyQt-4.8.1-i486-1.txz
python-2.6.6-i486-1.txz (see technical note #1)
qt-4.7.0_hplip.txz (cut-down version of qt-4.7.0.txz)
reportlab-2.5-i686-1sl.txz
sip-4.11.2-i486-1.txz
and the latest hplip (hplip-3.12.4)
hplip-3.12.4.pet

This hplip-slacko-5.3.3.pet is available at http://bit.ly/2kCMVNa
and handles the installation of all the above mentioned packages automatically.
The installation takes some non-negligible time (~5 minutes, depending on the processor's machine, of course) and,
when finished, the hp-setup GUI should automatically appear to help installing your HP printer(s).

USE NOTES:
1. For network printers to be detected, firewall should be off
2. Network printers are better handled using the SLP network discovery method (in the advanced option of the setup program)
3. When scanning is activated from the hp-toolbox GUI, scanned files can ONLY be saved in non-root owner directories.
By default, they are suggested to be saved in spot user's directory.

TECHNICAL NOTE:
1. python is included in the dev_slacko file. In case it is already found in the system, it is not overwritten.

Questions now withdrawn.

Hi all,

I got my laptop working well with slacko 5.3.3 , and now iam busy with my desktop containing a Linksys WPM54G pci card.

It loads the RT2500pci driver, connects ok, but the highest speed i get is 1 Mb download .

Booting with Slacko 5.3.1 and connecting to the network shows the same loaded driver RT2500pci but i get a 13 Mb download speed.

So it's not a weak signal or so. Signal is strong, but it simply doesn't get the right speed...

Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks, Kees
