My report on Quirky 6.0

I am having an issue when trying to mount sda2 with the desktop icon in Quirky Unicorn. I am receiving the following error:

The ntfs-3g driver was unable to mount the NTFS
partition and returned this error message:
fuse: mountpoint is not empty
fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option

So, the inbuilt kernel NTFS driver has been used
to mount the partition read-only.

I also get a similar error in Fluxpup on a different computer. Is this a typical flaw in Puppy? I was able to mount through the terminal without issue.

Hello, first time using Quirky Unicorn from scratch. I've installed using method A using install to flash drive script. My flash drive is a USB 3.0 device of size 32 GB. Installation went smooth and I can see a fat16 partition with boot flags + f2fs partition for the rest (there's a gap of 7 MB between them). However, my machine refuses to boot from flash drive (it keep falling back to hdd even after forcing to boot from USB flash drive). This drive previously contains MacPup which boots just fine. Is there anything I can do aside from using method D (I'm still downloading the ISO)?

Done, no changes. Testing method D...

Damn, method D works

Does anyone know where there is a Quirky Eric uploaded, or do I need to build my own?

Sorry, i've been off playing with the T2 build system and ignoring puppy

Well, Quirky Eric (Quirky built via Buildroot) is history now. It still has bugs.

But, if you want to play with it, the next upload of the Quirky build system that I do to here will have the info:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/project/

Expand, then look in support/buildroot

I will probably upload in a few days.

@BK
Any chance to provide a specific patch for Default theme from your current quirky build tree, to facilitate porting to woof-CE?

OK.

3builddistro has become quite different from the Puppy one, so the patch probably won't work, plus there is one "red herring" in the patch, an unrelated change that I made.
You may have to apply the changes manually.

The choose_themes patch should work.

I have also attached an example default-theme file.
Note, there is a new variable, to specify default dpi.

You just create a default-theme file in your target profile folder, for example woof-distro/x86/ubuntu/unicorn

Note, I haven't actually tested this default-theme thing yet!

Thanks,
I just edited the patch to remove hunks 1,3,5 and worked.
Hopefully 3builddistro will be working too.

Ran Quirky Tahr on my wife's netbook eeepc with great success using a
2GB sd card. When I ran Quirky tahr,unicorn, and the live-cd on my
computer (Celeron E3200 G41 chipset 4GB Ram) all was good until I ran
Ndiswrapper in the Network Wizard. My trusty old TI-ACX wireless card
did not setup correctly. No Interface found. Remembering the distant
past when Ndiswrapper was only a console app, I opened console, ran
Ndiswrapper. - It appears that its compilation failed. (Screenshot
attached)

BarryK, when you have the time, would you please repair this for future
Quirkies. Thanks.

Currently running Precise 5.7.1

Hi, I am glad that you are testing ndiswrapper, as I haven't done so in a long time.

Hang around, I will be releasing a new Quirky very soon. I just checked, it does have 'strict.pm' in it, so hopefully you will have success!

Hi, there was bug in my patch, fixed, I sent you a pm.

Hi Barry,
for next Quirky based on T2 (good move) :
- will it have a 64-bit version ?
- abiword+gnumeric seems better than big office packs
- /etc/groups has unneeded groups
Cheers

The unicorn live ISO is really very nice. I'm posting from it, it's very fast even on this old Centrino CPU with 2MB RAM. The downside is that it takes several minutes to load the system in RAM - BK did say that in advance.

There's a driver problem. I have a USB wifi adapter, TP-LINK TL-WN725N version 2. Puppy Network Wizard identifies it as a Realtek 802.11n NIC with module r8188eu. I _think_ the module is the right one, but when I click to configure interface wlan0 and scan the network I get this error message dialog:

Error!
Failed to raise interface wlan0.
Failed command was: ifconfig wlan0 up
Error returned was:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted.

Any idea what going on?

This driver needs a firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin. Maybe it's missing?

I've noticed some odd behaviour with Barry's distros

Description:

1) Install a Chinese font

2) Install mo files of common app like mtpaint or deadbeef

3) Now switch country to LANG=zh_CN i.e. Chinese mainland
Restart X

4) Launch mtpaint ---> Menus are still English

___________________________________________

This behaviour doesn't occur for LANG=zh_TW or LANG=zh_HK

____________________________________________________

I describe how to install Chinese in various puppies HERE

Curious behaviour!

The next Quirky, compiled completely from source in T2, has the latest mtPaint. I hope that you have success with that.

Coming soon.
