Hello,

I'm trying to use wifi in channels 12, 13 and 14, but only channels 1-11 are OK,

I have tried to change regulatory domain with:
iw reg set ES

(I have installed iw)

but upup return file error or missing file

Any idea?


Thanks

The PPM that comes with upup476 does not list pet packages I install via ROX. It will even offer to install those same packages again from a repo. All the correct entries for manually installed pets are found in /root/.packages and I must manually remove them using the that information.

Unfortunately vga=normal did not help. (same effect as no vga=xxx) that is the screen that describes the boot prosses prints the dones's but it never gets beyond that even with pfix=nox

Attached are some pictures.

If I boot with:

puppy vga=normal pfix=nox



Boot progresses OK



Bad video with odd lines even with nox set.



Its interesting to note Puppy 4.2 boots OK. I have trouble with the touch screen but thats a topic for another thread.



Thanks,

Dave.

hi barry,

some short points from my first quick view (with a recent duelcore desktop):
- everything runs impressive fast
- also have the mentioned probs with the missing menuicons
- it would be nice to include a setting-opt in ppm for a proxy-server. i know that i could setup the proxy in /etc/wgetrc but it would be more userfriendly if this would be possible in ppm.

in dw-weekly there's an article about debris-linux (http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090601). They are also using ubuntu as main-repo. the interesting part of the article is about their problems with the used repo.

I've tried to get this running on my favourite PC (with large screen)

However it uses a Logitech wireless keyboard which does not work. It would appear that support is not in the kernel?

This is a section from dmesg in 421 :-

Something is wrong with the mirrors of ibbilio.

I normally download releases of upup from the very fast ibblio mirror
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/test/woof-alpha9/

for some reason all builds of woof are broken since some days.

Compare only the size

upup-476.iso 22-May-2009 07:24 109M

Be carefull if you download things from ftp.nluug.nl.

I have needed more than 3 Hours before i realised that something with the mirror is wrong.

[tasmod]

OK, no replies regarding wireless keyboard.

Anyone help here ?

I've since looked at initrd.gz and the kernel and there doesn't appear to be any difference in scripts there that would alter anything.

However in a working version then the rcsysinit has the 'usb mouse' routine edited out by Barry.

Not sure if that's relevant but the Logitech wireless also comes up as usb mouse in dmesg. As does an entry for usb hid wireless keyboard.

It seems that it's not recognised once kernel routine is looking for hardware. how do i rectify this?

[01micko]

I did a usb install on my main machine, all went well. I booted it on my new eee 701.. no problems so far.

Tried to connect wireless, no module loaded, ok will investigate later. Sound is at a constant low volume even after running alsa sound wizard. Connected fine over ethernet.

Browsing, flash is fine, Pwidgets works (hehe) but I might mod it a bit for small res... clock takes up quarter of the screen!

It flies compared to the stock Xandros it came with. And I hate that you can't have a wallpaper ootb in the stock OS.

Will test 3G modem later.

Cheers

Barry,

Just for information: Using upup's rox, I copied my frugal installation of upup476, which works great on an ext3 partition, to a psubdir on an ext4 partition. The bootup files searched for upup-476.sfs and failed to find it. I then copied it from the psubdir to the root of the ext4 partition and it still could not be found. So although ext4 partitions are recognized and can be read and written to with rox and files edited with Leafpad or Geany, there is still a problem with woof and ext4.

Downloaded upup476.iso and burnt to multisession live cd using turbopup alpha3

Downloaded lite gnome games pet by ttuuxxx and enjoyed some of the extra features not available in ubuntu gnome games

Successfully saved to multisession cd 4 sessions

Decided to remaster multisession livecd with extra games so i could run it in virtualbox with xp but could not get past insert livecd to read files, dialogue box stays frozen and requires a restart of x to remove, commands close or kill not successful

Any thoughts how to overcome problem?

Health, Wealth and Happiness for the future

Hi,

I'm playing around with woof-alpha9.tar.gz.

Building a distro with 0setup etc. is quite easy . I also found out how to add .pets (pet2tgz and moving the files to the approbiate folders in rootfs-skeleton). After building the distro, I can run this programs from console or drag the .desktop file to the desktop for running them from there.

But how can I do this ( that the .desktop file appears on the desktop) before building the distro?

Help would be appreciated

I have alot of space so i just run Puppy 4.2 open the squash file, put contents in folder.
Reboot into Woof (Alpha 9) and use the dir2sfs for the folder. Then I add in boot manager and restart Woof.

Works, I have:
-Netbeans_jdk-6.5.1_1.6u14_476.sfs
-Openoffice-2.2.0_476.sfs
-xampp-linux-1.7_476.sfs

They all work! Thank You for your time but i figured it out right after my post.

If we have a place to put these I'll give them.
