Sorry to report it did no resolve. Please continue the good work here, I can work with the NDIS driver. I would like to see this dpup move along and show how well it can really fly.gposil wrote:Ok 476c will be up in an hour or so...with Xorg and hopefully esata fixed, as for the zd1211 problem...try the firmware update below..

zd1211rw module loading
The module appears to be loading and is not in the list of available modules, It does appear in the list of modules to blacklist, so I believe it is trying to load without success. Thanks.gposil wrote:Hi jduffy22335,
have you checked whether the zd1211rw kernel module is loading...check in wizard wizard, puppy startup
Note: moved up to the dup476c version.
476 Solved My Problem
476c did the job: my Intel video card is performing at a high resolution and so far everything else is humming along. I haven't got to the Debian repository part yet.
Thanks, Gposil. Which of the two figures in your icon is you?

e-sata HDD in bay not seen
Thank you for the 476-C
I did boot with acpi actif and acpi=off.
In both cases I got the desktop, but with only the first sata HDD partitions.
The second HDD in the e-sata bay wasn't seen.
As my critical data is on this second HDD, at this stage, I can't use dpup 476.
upup 466 has no problems to see this second HDD.
Nevertheless, I have the impression that this dpup 476 has more performance. Feels quick.
I still have this JQ8flat doesn't contain mime type message/warning.

Abiword Doesn't Work
I can't open Abiword, not from the desktop icon, the link in /usr/local/bin, nor the direct icon in /usr/bin.
Setting up Remote Printer
I was able to set up my remote (wired network) printer by putting a link to the smbspool in /usr/lib/cups/backend. Wouldn't it be easy to put such a link in the delivered version?

Dave,
can you do me a favour and tell me what the message is when you run abiword from terminal...it works here..so i've got to find out what's up...and yes the cups samba spooler problem will be fixed...I was aware of it, but just hadn't got there yet...
Béèm,
I'll keep trying to find out why the esata is not working///
Cheers

Just tried dpup-476c. BTW boot splash-screen still shows 476b
However, this is one beautiful puplet. No nonsense fast, and recognises my ATI Radeon 3450 video card out-of-the-box - just like real Debian. This is good enough even now to be my main distro.
Really looking forward to the Gnome version with Synaptic. I have already done a few experiments with Synaptic, but more research is needed on how to configure this to work properly with Puppy. I started off by trying to play with apt-get, but due to wrong configuration, would not install every program that I tried. APT gets configured during a normal Debian install by a script running within the installer itself. I wonder what would be involved in ripping this script from the Debian ISO.
I'll play some more with Dpup- 476c and see what gives.
Kudos!

Just noticed the cheeky Puppy logo that replaces the official Debian swirl sitting on the official Lenny wallpaper - Lol!

Abiword works
False alarm. I called for Abiword in the console and it came up. Then I clicked on the desktop icon and it came up again. I've been tweaking things (running ALSA setup and so forth), and rebooting several times, so I don't know what I did to kick it in.
I can't get gparted to work. This is true in upup as well. I can get it to work in a rescue disk I have, so I don't think it's a problem in my disk itself.
The Puppy Package Manager is balky. When I switched from one repo to another, it froze a couple of times.
This is a great Puppy overall. Congrtatulations.

The latest working upup out of the box was upup 466 with kernel 2.6.29.1 I don't know how Barry compiled this one.gposil wrote:That's weird...working on this esata problem...there's no kernel module for ahci in Barry's 2.6.27.4 kernel...I may have to recompile the kernel...
For the record, my controller card is in IDE mode, not AHCI or RAID.
I have to keep it that way, as I boot XP from that PC as well and only IDE mode is working with it.
My PC is the Medion 8818.

@Béèm:
If you have the time, I would like you to download maggotspawn's 4.20-RT-SMP (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43740). I'm curious to know if it will recognize your esata external drive. It carries a 2.6.29.1 kernel.

As it is 01:40 am now, I just did a very quick test.
The second HDD is seen.
But I have the dreadded 'session not saved' issue. Have to create an empty pup_save file for RT-SMP first to retain the configuration I will make.
I have to look for my notes with previous tests I made, like Aragon's smp version as well.
By heart I don't remember which ones went ok and which ones not.
I'll come back to that later, as I'm going to sleep now.

Re: zd1211rw module loading
Additional look in this area has me puzzled. New Full install to ext2 at 14 Gigs on SDB3 achieves proper zd1211 drivers loading, but frugal to SDA1 (NTFS) or SDB1 (VFAT) both seem to miss the firmware. These were all created from the same folder of the extracted ISO 476c ???jduffy22335 wrote:The module appears to be loading and is not in the list of available modules, It does appear in the list of modules to blacklist, so I believe it is trying to load without success. Thanks.gposil wrote:Hi jduffy22335,

Note: moved up to the dup476c version.
To add more confusion, it seems I have leftover driver archives and extracted folders in root/tmp for "clean" no save install ! Could setup be not extracting the firmware correctly for frugal
Log info follows:
Frugal Install error:
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
ecb: Unknown symbol blkcipher_walk_done
ecb: Unknown symbol blkcipher_walk_virt
ecb: Unknown symbol crypto_blkcipher_type
phy0: Failed to initialize wep: -2
usb 8-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
zd1211rw: probe of 8-5:1.0 failed with error -2
Full Install to sdb3 (ext2): Works !
usb 8-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
zd1211rw 8-5:1.0: phy0
usbcore: registered new interface driver zd1211rw
Thanks for any insight, still learning ! Loving the Dpup

following jduffy22335's lead, I did a full install of 476c and I am blown away...suddenly lots of things that didn't work do and the speed, makes my 4.1.2 full install look like a snail...I have got to get the niggly bits right on the run from cd and frugal, and this will be a flyer....

esata issue in Medion MD 8818
OK then.
Made a dummy pup_save and configuration data like keyboard, X etc.. were saved now.
Unfortunately, my wireless card isn't recognized.
The driver RT73usb isn't in this distribution.
I got the necessary modules and firmware from my upup 466 install and copied them to the dpup 476 one. But when trying to load, the module wasn't found. Maybe something else has to be done, I don't know.
I didn't find my previous notes back yet, but did a quick test.
Kernel 2.6.29.1 isn't the only salvation, as I could boot and use the second HDD with Mu's New Year's Pup rc10. The kernel here is 2.6.28.5 (single processor) and puppy 4.1.1
Further I tried pup42smp (I think it's Aragon's smp version) of puppy 4.20 and at kernel 2.6.29.1 and the second HDD was seen and could be used.
I tried ppup 413 (kernel 2.6.25.16) and slaxer 4.12 (kernel 2.6.27.7) but none of these showed the second HDD. The first one was ok.
So that's it for the moment. Hope it shed some light.

OK gposil. There is no hurry.
I was glad already there is movement in dpup.
Your web site looks promising.
If I may permit, did you think in including a search facility?
