greengeek,
I just now downloaded and looked at slacko-5.6. I was wrong to say the 0.x versions were the "betas", which were the original packages that form the basis for my attempt to preserve frisbee. "0.1" was my initial version. There were many improvements since that package.

The newest versions will not work on the older puppies because they require the latest version of gtkdialog.

Here is how frisbee works. If you never start it, it does nothing, at all. If you start it, then it will take control of the network. If you then run SNS or the network wizard, frisbee will be turned off, as if you never used it. So it should not interfere with those network managers. But you may need to reboot, to get SNS to see the network.

Frisbee-1.4.3 uploaded

#18 Post by rerwin »

I have updated frisbee to correct the "frisbee mode disable" function and to be compatible with a new, upgraded "network_connect_update" package that refines the support for switching network managers and ensuring that the appropriate network startup script runs during a reboot.

The new frisbee is in the first message of this thread, here:

Hi Richard

Which pets do I need to load to test the new Frisbee in a recent woof-ce build?

Thanks

Frisbee 1.4.3 is backward compatible, so it can be tested alone. The only behavioral change is that it kills dhcpcd when frisbee mode is disabled. That happens when you stop using frisbee and switch to another network manager.

However, eventually I will need you to test with my new "network_connect_update" package, as I plan to enter it into woofCE. I suggest testing it both ways.

Hi Richard.
I would like to try Frisbee in my LupuPlus 5.2.8.005-1, which I run from a live CD. Do I have to remove some of the components in WvDial, or other network components?

Hi Richard

I was hoping that you would point me explicitly at the pets I should load.....I find all the various pets very confusing I'm afraid....I'm sure you know what needs to be done but I need some guidance....

Thanks

peebee,
Only network_connect_update-20170418.pet in the Network thread of that name. The other packages there are for specific types of pup.

You don't need to remove anything. But you would need to add files gettext.sh and envsubst and package gtkdialog-racy_lucid-0.8.4r514. To avoid having to update the connectwizard, just make frisbee the default browser and/or edit /usr/share/applications/frisbee.desktop:
Change NoDisplay=true to NoDisplay=false to add frisbee to the Network menu.
(You also need to create /tmp/.frisbee if you test frisbee before rebooting after installation.)

I just now tried frisbee-1.4.3 with the two files, but know that the gtkdialog version is a dependency. There may be other issues. I suggest that you upgrade to lupu 5.2.8.7.

An alternative approach would be to try the last Frisbee "beta", in the "Frisbee Network Manager - Beta 2" thread. I could send you Frisbee-beta-4.pet, the last beta, if you go that route. But that could get to be a "can of worms". I wouldn't risk it.

Thank you, Richard.
I think I'll wait until I upgrade my Puppy, my present setup works OK. (sort of)

A new version is uploaded to the first message:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 858#883858

It is compatible with both the connect_update and network_connect_update packages, and is required for the latter.

A new version (1.4.5) is uploaded to the first message:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 858#883858

It adds the ability to use WiFi channels 12-14 where legal. Although it remains compatible with both the connect_update and network_connect_update packages, and is required for the latter, the capability is available only if network_connect_update-20170612 and quicksetup-20170612 (or later) are installed. See the 6/15/2017 update in the first message of this thread.

zagreb999,
Sorry for not replying sooner. I just now discovered your posting.

I have not been following the evolution of the "dogs", so am unable to diagnose its problems with frisbee. I am reluctant to get into supporting that version of frisbee, which I suspect is modified by the xenialdog developer.

I am willing to work with him if he cares to. But we have not communicated for a very long time about keeping frisbee working in the dogs.

I have updated frisbee to 1.4.7, to make it compatible with Barry's EasyOS and quirky, which use kernel 4.14. That combination -- or maybe just the kernel version -- appears to cause ethernet/wifi-interface modules to require many seconds to become ready to use. Frisbee will now wait up to 30 seconds (total) for such interfaces to initialize. This may cause installations with only wired interfaces to wait 30 seconds before connecting during boot-up.

This version also corrects handling of connections and disconnections where multiple ethernet/wifi interfaces are installed. When using the network tray icon menu to disconnect, the first try will disconnect only the active wifi connection, if any. If there is no wifi interface or if a second disconnect is attempted, all remaining ethernet interfaces will be disconnected.
Richard
