You could drag one of the scripts in usr/bin to the desktop (symlink it):

wmexit
wmpoweroff
wmreboot

or drag shutdown to the desktop, that's the dpup shutdown window.

Yeah or locate jwmshutdown it's the shutdown dialog used in dpup.
You can even make button on panel to launch it.

BTW post your PC specs kayan :)

Pwireless2

#34 Post by Béèm »

I tried to configure my connection with pwireless2, but the device, eth1, wasn't found.
With the network wizard no problem.

I prefer pwireless2 as it reconnects, in case of a lost connection, to the same access point.
With the network wizard, as I have a lot access points arond me, I did find myself connected to another (non-protected) one after a connection loss.

What can be done to get Pwireless2 working?
When started no access points are displayed and there are at least some 25 around me.

I thought you wanted to know what goes wrong in your development and eventually correct it.
As I have an alternative, it's up to you to see if you want to look into a possible correction.

Yeah read what I said in first post, you can post bugs but this is just a puplet and I will correct if I know enough to do so otherwise you're on your own. I've never used wireless network or pwireless tool and know nothing about how those protocols function. I know that if ipw module was in dpup it's also in kdpup and if connection worked on dpup you should have same connection as tools are same. Is that other network wizard you talk about also in kdpup?

From first post:
NOTE: This is just a puplet, it's not official release nor I plan on extending it or maintaining/further developing at the moment.
Nothing crucial in base libs/modules/configuration is changed so if dpup didn't work for you or had some bug this one won't be exception.
You can post bugs if you find them or even better if you have fix for them but don't hope that I can do something about.

The other network wizard is just the network wizard which is for a long time in all the puppies. Nothing extravagant. Just standard.
I use that one now.

Not having access to wireless I can understand it's difficult to diagnose, but me having no skills in development I don't know where and how to start.
I can do tests if instructed. I have done that.

As for the iw2100 driver, I know it's in dpup. I used dpup a lot until there was no movement anymore in the project and I still use it on occasions.

So it boils down to the regular network is seeing my internet device as eth1 with the ipw2100 driver whereas pwireless2 don't. That"s all there is.

Windows and openoffice.

I successfully added a wine sfs and a OpenOffice sfs to my kdpup installation.
All is working ok.
Just to inform about this.

dejan555,
Good job! I did a frugal install on my usb stick and gave it a try. I am very impressed with kde (I never used kde much) and how well puppy package manager works with the debian repos. I can't wait to do some customizing!

One problem though, I tried doing a frugal install on my girlfriends Dell xps m140 (which is running puppy 4.3.1 at the moment) but when booting I get:

Code: Select all

kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(8,18)
The message comes immediately after booting from grub, before any of the normal startup messages ("loading drivers", "copying to ram", etc)

I'm not sure what the problem is. The sfs, initrd, and vmlinuz are in /kdepup on partition 3. the puppy 4.3.1 files are in / on partition 3. Do you think 4.3.1 is conflicting with kdpup? Here is a section from menu.list

Code: Select all

  title Puppy Linux 4.3
  root (hd0,2)
  kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4
  initrd /initrd.gz pmedia=idehd

  title KDEPUP
  root (hd0,2)
  kernel /kdepup/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4
  append initrd=/kdepup/initrd.gz pmedia=idehd

Anyone see anything that would cause a problem? All of the md5sums check out ok.

Grub, (hd0,2) would have to go with /dev/sda3, if that is where the
partition is.

I don't understand having the 2 puppys on the same partition, or why
the KDEPUP syntax is so different than 4.3.

Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.

Try:

Code: Select all

title KDEPUP
  root (hd0,2)
  kernel /kdepup/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=kdepup
   initrd /kdepup/initrd.gz

I can't wait to try this one, I've been wondering if there was a puppy with KDE and what do you know, there's one on the first page of the Puppy Derivatives section :lol:

I like the fact its KDE 3.5 too..I've generally only used 4x lately and while its fairly cool.. lots of bugs and instability from what I've found. I've heard a lot of people prefer the older and faster 3.5 and it still looks pretty nice from what I can tell.

Yea I did it in a hurry, just copied the dir from my flash drive into the existing partition. I may go back and make a separate partition if things work out.

That did the trick, thanks.


Now I'm having a new problem, trying to load xorg or xvesa results in a black screen. The laptop has a 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML chipset which works with 4.3.1. I'm not sure if there are missing drivers or something, I will do some searching.

KDPUP = KDE 3.5.10 + dpup 484 beta 4

#46 Post by Billtoo »

Dejan:

I installed tunapie in your kdpup484, first I updated the repositories in puppy package manager (that took quite a while) the exited ppm and restarted it.It installed tunapie with all the dependencies,then I exited ppm.I tried to run tunapie but it wouldn't start so I installed the dpup-devx-484.sfs and it worked.
The default video player in tunapie is set to vlc and the video played but no sound so I changed the default video player to mplayer and it works perfect.
I'm attaching a screenshot.

KDPup logout

#48 Post by shark1 »

KDPup is great - a fast KDE desktop and with the addition of OpenOffice it has everything I need.

To get the Kmenu/Logout to work I have created a directory called /root/.kde/shutdown and then coped the jwmshutdown script into that directory.

When you logout there is a short delay but the shutdown/reboot script will then execute.

Thanks Brad, that's good idea for shutdown will try it.
Also welcome to the kennels :)
Did you use puppy before? And post your PC specs if you don't mind.

KDPUP = KDE 3.5.10 + dpup 484 beta 4

#50 Post by Billtoo »

Dejan:

Kdpup is working great for me, I didn't think I'd be able to play games like nexuiz and openarena in puppy but they both work in Kdpup.I installed them from the debian repos in ppm.They are older versions, nexuiz 4.2 and openarena 0.7.7 but still lots of fun to play.
My printer works too! I also downloaded openoffice from debian repos, version 2.4.1.

I have a full install of Kdpup on three computers.

pc 1 = Compac Presario S6700NX
1.5 GB ram, p4 2.8 with ht
radeon 9200 agp graphics card
pc 2 = Hp Pavilion a810n
1.5 GB ram, athlon 64 3300+
radeon 9250 agp graphics card
pc 3 = Hp Pavilion a6220n
4 GB ram, Core 2 Duo E4500
Intel GMA 3100
