(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi jemimah, glad to see you are well!

Nice to hear from you Jemimah, I/we were beginning to get a bit worried.

Very best regards - Ray.

Hi Jamimah,
I'm glad you are still with us and hopefully recharging. So I thought to try some light asking...

Tried to use Frisbee in XOpup (lupus 5.1.1+) and works fine by just adding a longer sleep in rc.services so the wlan interface is up first.

However, after wake from suspend it comes up too fast before wlan is up and fails.
Increasing the WTIMEOUT in config to 30 does not improve things.
I need to open Frisbee and "Wireless Network Reset" in order to reconnect.

So the question is if there is any way to delay Frisbee run after wakeup or/end issue the wireless reset commands form a post resume script? (Tried Frisbee --reset-wpa -hdcp or issuing the reset-wpa, -dhcp function commands form a script , but no luck)

Hopefully this is not too heavy for you

Best

Hello, my problem is solve.
Disconnect was the consequence of the traduction in french (i forgot 2 lines).

OK, I got it going in XOpup

It should be usable in other 5.x pupplets provided that you backup your rc.local and re-instate it after pet installation and before reboot, since the XOpup pet version will mess it up and probably brake your system!

I've added XOPup to the Frisbee page on wiki
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Frisbee

correct or expand if needed ; -)

(portions snipped)

Apparently the dhcpcd that frisbee recommended - is for Fluppy/Puppeee not Puppy5 see the following thread.

I'm confused now (often happens)

I use Frisbee-beta-2-lucid52.pet http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ucid52.pet Package by playdayz cf. forum Puppy Lucid Posted: Wed 09 Feb 2011, 04:02 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=494297
- I use Instant Update 001 for Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 (known as the Bigpup Update)

Previously Puppy Linux 5.25 worked OK on my Acer Aspire One computer.
Somehow, recently, the wireless or the wired network didn't persist after configuring via the SNS or Dougal scripts?
I just did the Instant Update and the Frisbee package, like ASRI éducation did, above.
It works, and thanks a lot!
(Hoping it continues to do so)

I'm using Frisbee in Lucid 5.2.5 successfully, on a Thinkpad T23 with a pcmcia wifi card. Well done there!

Now I'm trying to use it on another Thinkpad T23, this one a bit fancier, with built-in 11mbps wifi. According to the original standard Puppy Network Wizard, wlan0 is an Intersil 2.5 Wavelan chipset device. The standard PNW can connect just fine with it, but when I reboot it can't reconnect (using static IP) without having all the parameters re-entered.

Puppy's simple network configuration DOES work and DOES stick after rebooting. However, it requires use of DHCP, and I much prefer static IP addresses.

After installing Frisbee beta 2 from the dotpet, I'm no longer able to connect via wifi. When I click Create Profile for Selected Network, I get a dialog that says "Failed to set ssid" and can go no further.

Clicking the Wireless Diagnostics button returns this output:

Status of wifi0 wlan0
Wpa_supplicant Status:
-----
Unknown command 'wlan0'
-----

iwconfig: unknown command "wlan0"

ifconfig: bad address 'wlan0'

Not sure of how much help that is.

Again, wlan0 is an Intersil 2.5 Wavelan chipset device. Is it possible that Frisbee isn't able to talk to it?

Other than that, I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The problem was apparently not with the T23's internal wifi; the same problem occured with a pcmcia card.

However I did find a solution, a pragmatic one I guess, though it doesn't identify what the problem really is. I unloaded Frisbee beta 2 and loaded mavrothal's Frisbee version for XOpup instead. I applied his caution (backup /etc/rc.d/rc.local prior to installing, then restore after installing but before rebooting). That version works fine.

PS - if you use Frisbee and prefer a somewhat more modest way of having it tell you what's going on than the big cartoon pups, you can replace /usr/bin/xpupsay with the similar system used in Lighthouse Puppy. The attached zip file contains the necessary files extracted from Lighthouse, instructions, and an installation shell script (sorry, I haven't learned how to make dotpets yet).

Thanks to Jemimah for Frisbee, to Mavrothal for the modifications, and to Tazoc for message modifications and his puplet Lighthouse.

Hi darkcity. You might want to add Wary 5.1.3 to the wiki page as well, I've got Frisbee running using dhcpcd-5.2.9-i486 and Jemimah's Wary wpa-supplicant.

Can you post links to these packages? please... EDIT: I'm so dumb, they're in the first post.. Oops..

@ sc0ttman.
The packages are in Jermimah's first post in this thread, the list starting with ' Frisbee beta 2 ', the Wary wpa_supplicant is right at the bottom ( be sure you've got the right one, there are a couple of versions for different Puppies, as Jermimah explains. )

Thanks for Frisbee!

The wifi at my work would kick my computer off if I was idle for a minute or so. I was using Barry's SNS to connect to wifi. I was unable to get the regular network wizard to connect my computer to the net

After I upgraded from Lucid Puppy 5.25 to 5.2.8, I found Frisbee in the package manager and I am able to stay connected to the internet for as long as I want.

Hi Jemimah

There have been a couple of posts at puppylinux.info, asking how to remove frisbee...it's obviously troublesome for some people
If there's an updated version, is there a delta patch, or can you post instructions on updating?

Also pemasu has created a 'remove frisbee/frisbee manager.pet' ....

http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_pack ... -0.0.2.pet

...but states it is only tested in the Dpup Exprimo

Perhaps it can get further testing/adaptation here?

Thanks

Take it easy on me here... I installed Slacko 5.3 and had Barry's ethernet connection working like a charm, connected to the internet. I have a netgear router with DG 192.168.1.1, with one Windows computer cabled into it. The computer in question was my old Windows, which I did a full HD install of Puppy to after CD install and had it ethernet cabled to router as well.

All was good, until I installed Frisbee to go wireless, which connects great to wireless router, with a valid IP address each time of 192.168.1.3 or higher, but browser will not connect to internet, neither with cable nor with wireless now. So, DNS is broken somewhere, but IP config on Windows computer shows all good and has internet.

Any help?

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know that I fixed my "Connect no Browse" issue myself. Just to clarify, all network tools would connect to default gateway with a proper IP address, for Eth0 and Wlan0, but would not browse or surf the internet.

I finally found an article about file 'resolv.conf' which Frisbee seems to set up twice in both /etc/ and /etc/ppp/. But what it does is create an infinite broken loop, because it clears your file information out, and then makes each instance of the file a symbolic link to the other... so perpetual loop.

What I did was copy the information from the correct file:

nameserver 127.0.0.1
domain "your_isp.com"
nameserver "your_default_gateway" (usually 192.168.1.1)
nameserver "your_isp_dns_server_ip"

copy and paste that with proper quoted information, and save each instance in the above directories (no linking). And it works!

You may want to rename original resolv.conf as resolv2.conf first, so when you save the new one, you can delete the old one. Simple!

webtelly

good fix, well done

enjoy

@webtelly - thanks for the fix

@aarf - slacko seems quicker than some of the older Pups, if Android has got some special tricks hopefully there'll be part of the features merged to the mainstream kernel

hi

has anybody made a single pet or sfs of frisbee that will run on racy 5.3?

would be awesome!

thanks
