BionicPup32 (UPupBB) (27 June 2020)

Despite the problems you had with Chromium, you might want to try OscarTalks' Iron, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 36#1009536 or even an earlier version. Iron does support a 'User-Agent' extension.

Hi mikesir

Thank you for the help.

I tried the above version of Iron but it has the very same effects that Chromium has and crashes my graphics immediately it starts.
Just not suited to my onboard graphics which is all I have right now.
I shall stick with Pale Moon for this one.Been running many hours now with no problems.

G'day there Fellow Puppy Lovers, so I've Successfully installed sc0ttmans cli Package Manager & then it in turn Successfully installed VLC Media Player , Resolving Dependencies as it went, Great!

However I've got a Problem getting Compiz working...

I'd Appreciate any Help Please....

My HP laptop has broadcom wireless chip which works only with proprietary wl.ko kernel module. I searched ARCH linux recipe for needed patches and I used also the source package from that page.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-ck/
After patching the source I compiled the wl.ko module and I am using it now so it works.

I didnt find existing wl,ko module so I uploaded it if someone else also needs it.

Sorry Guys, I can't find the info or remember the How 2 Edit the xorg.conf file from a Decade ago, 2 get Compiz working... Has anybody got a Template? Please

I've deleted the ndiswrapper .pets

I've now got an .inf file for the wifi in my laptop so I can test. It works with an old slacko kernel and ndiswrapper.

ndiswrapper compiles ok but crashes when run under kernel 4.9

I can't find any relevant patches.

Sorry! There will be no ndiswrapper for UPupBB with kernel 4.9 unless somebody else can produce a working version.

Shinobar has a new sfs of nvidia x86 390.97 for bionic beaver with kernel 4.9.96

Attached is an ndiswrapper pet - it requires a kernel change to 3.16.45:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... 2/download

[B.K. Johnson]

A couple of questions peebee.
Let's assume that I am changing the kernel in upupcc,
My only prior experience with changing a kernel was the new vmlinuz and zdrv of the new kernel would simply replace the old. That is not the case here.

Exactly what should I do with

• vmlinuz-3.16.45-puppy4g
  kernel-modules.sfs-3.16.45-puppy4g

produced when huge-3.16.45-puppy4g.tar.bz2 is uncompressed?

Should I just rename them to vmlinuz and zdrv_upupcc_18.10.sfs
reboot, run Grub4Dos then run the ndiswrapper pet?
TIA for your guidance.

Yes

Yes - but no need for grub4dos - just reboot

@peebee
A short advisory:
The latest ndiswrapper offering works but there are some strange outputs I want to investigate and identify whether they are ndiswrapper related or upupcc..

[B.K. Johnson]

The attached screenshot is copied from this post
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 56#1008778

by chrisbear in the upupcc thread and to which I added marked-ups in red. The items underlined or red-circled are similar to what I see when I use Net Wizard. Note that my system does have a wireless PCI card but it is not being used. lspci rightfully does not recognize it. Yet, a wireless PCI is what is identified at the NetWizard output, which is similar to that in the screenshot and which I can't identify. Chris can confirm whether his driver is properly named and his interface is an USB or PCI.

I have also plugged in, an USB wireless adapter which lsbusb recognizes. Furthermore, there is no doubt that it is the USB that is connected for on removing the adapter from the port, I lose the connection.

It may be that this is neither a upupbb nor ndiswrapper related issue, but I am posting here for continuity. Subsequent postings may well be made in the upupcc thread.

And I still don't understand !
These latest Puppys contain no less than 5 sfs files...adrv sfs..fdrv sfs..ydrv sfs..zdrv sfs and upupbb sfs.

Do they all need changing??

There is a README in the iso to explain....

The kernel comes in 2 files - zdrv and vmlinuz

My kernels have firmware in the fdrv (other people's kernels include firmware in the zdrv - you can normally tell by the size if so).

The fdrv is kernel (and architecture) agnostic and can be used with many kernels and doesn't have to be changed.

So if you're changing to another of my kernels all you have to change is the vmlinuz and zdrv.

I haven't read any previous posts regarding this issue, so apologies if this may have been already covered. I don't have this wifi card, but was looking through the upbb fdrv.sfs and noticed there is an rtlwifi folder, which contains what may be firmware for your card. I would have thought that it should be identified and loaded directly.

Do you have the fdrv loaded?
Firmware is not included if the fdrv is not loaded.


Edit: Does dmesg identify anything regarding the driver?

dmesg|grep wifi OR dmesg|grep r8188 OR similar?
