(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Running icepuppy 14 on asus 1201T netbook with Realtek rtl8192se wifi device. I have the following items running:

devx_lupu_014.sfs
kernel_src-2.6.38.4-lupe26.sfs

The wifi is still not included in the kernel here and most Linux'es are including it with later kernels. I can build it and install it.

Might want to include it in the kernel?

I MADE A PET FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT.

Have been using this IcePuppy 14 for a while now. I am really pleased with it. Installed the ati driver and the cpu usage immediately dropped. Looks a lot like snowpuppy, which I have been using.

I don't see a battery monitor in the jwm tray BUT I can add it to pwidgets and monitoring works correctly. Am I missing a package?

I believe that Vattery was included. Check /root/Startup/1vattery script, if it exists. If it does exist, edit it so that there is only shebang and the row like: exec vattery-acpitool.

That did the trick! I didn't have to do this with snowpuppy. It was kind of a pain only having it with pwidgets because I could not see my battery status when running an app.

This is SUPER by the way and I appreciate the HIGHMEM feature.. I have a 64 bit processor and I had tried lighthouse and fatdog but the apps available are not as many and they are much slower to boot.

I figured out how to make a pet FOR MY BUILT WIFI DRIVER and when I unzip it, it looks correct and has the correct path. It is attached two posts up.

Install then do depmod-FULL -a

The -FULL part might not be needed anymore?

bwh1969. Nice that you got it working. There is problems with Vattery. The Vattery is quite old, newest version is from -2008. Thats why not all batteries are detected as working versions with vattery-ibam. Vattery-acpitool works always.
Vattery-ibam would be learning version when you drain battery almost empty several times. The battery time estimation should be better.
That is why I havent disabled it. But unfortunately quite many cant use it though due to defective battery detection.

the testing pace of the northern pups is a blur to me so reinstalled IP14 only to not find the broadcom wl driver on the web site. noticed only one still up and not sure which pup it is for so below is your broadcom pet it's labeled IP10 but works for IP14.

pemasu,

in IP14 noticed when closing ff7.01 then trying to reopen it latter get error msg. ff is already running. looking in htop see something like usr/bin/mozilla something is running then after killing that process can open a new ff.

any ideas what is the cause or fix?

this is what is left running when ff is closed and prevents reopening of ff.

I got the 013 from archives.org. I'd still like to try the 014-15, but don't see it anywhere I've looked. Was the name changed to something else?

Thanks, ally. Downloading it now.
