It does come with its own tool to resize the partition (but yeah don't use gparted - various versions have a bad ntfs bug ... lost a lot of stuff that way last year)

Here it is: Fluppy011. I solved the sound problem, so we now have kernel 2.6.35.7 hopefully with usb3.0 support, the latest brcm80211 from git, wl (blacklisted), rtl8180se, keucr, acer-hdf, ndiswrapper, and tkusb.

Congratulations on Fluppy 011!

I tried to download both the ISO and the ZIP and both are terminating the download way too early to be complete.

Is the server getting slammed and compensating badly?

EDIT: It seems to be working OK from dpup, the problem before was from Fluppy 010.

@ Jemimah

You were right. The issue with Fluppy 010 and my Acer Aspire One D255-2301 was USB 3.0. I am posting from Fluppy 011. External mouse, webcam, external usb drives, etc all work very well. Frisbee executed wireless networking flawlessly.

I must say that this has been a very smooth experience thus far. I will do more testing and report any issues (should there be any). This is the perfect OS for this little Aspire One. Thank you very much.

Great news! Will it boot from USB? - I forgot to check if the init script needs to be modified.

If/when you do fluppy 012...

f it is something you are attuned to doing... there is an issue with the kernel and building the ati proprietary driver. It builds... but the fglrx.ko created will not modprobe. (invalid module format error pops up) I did some investigating and there are some patches for this but I more or less don't have the knowledge on how to build kernels:-)

Virtualbox built okay for me so it is not an overall system issue or me not having the proper files.

I will upgrade to fluppy 011 just to check that something random may have occurred where this will now build correctly.

downloading now

another thought i have:)
i saw that backlight on samsung netbooks is only supported via setpci

so is it possible to add xosd somehow to those archlinux scripts ?

jemimah · #1299 Post by **jemimah** » Tue 11 Jan 2011, 02:07

bwh1969, If you send me a link to the source you want built - I'll probably do it. Is there only one ati driver? Or a bunch, like Nvidia?

Sure, you can take a look at how I call it by looking at the volup and voldown scripts. Brightness for the Eee is done in /etc/acpi/hotkey.sh.

Posting from Fluppy 011 on my netbook Samsung NB30.

Loaded easily as Frugal and is FAST!

Thanks Jemimah

NEWBIES to FLUPPY

If you want to link Claws (E-mail) to Midori (Web) so that clicking on an E-mail address in Midori opens a new E-mail in Compose mode in Claws
do this:

Go to: /root/Choices/URI

Right-click on "mailto" then select Copy and name the copy "imailto" then click Copy.

Reboot.

This is from Jemimah ... I'm not that clever with code!

Wow Jemimah. you are my true hero.

I have a D255 too so if that allow use of USB3 that would be cool. Mine is very Fan noisy so I use D250 instead but have dl you latest bild and will try it out on both of them.

I give any bug report here if mouse wheel or anything is lacking.

Congrat to Fluppy-011. I've only tested it on the D250 still
Frugal install and it worked as expected.

jamesbond · #1308 Post by **jamesbond** » Tue 11 Jan 2011, 06:46

Thanks Jemimah.

I like the new notification GUI

Anyway, on to this EM350 netbook (it's an eMachines, which is low-end Acer). First boot failed - same problem as before, brcm80211 froze the machine (no problem, just activate wl and blacklist brcm).

Frisbee now works straightaway, no more hand-editing the wpa_supplicant.conf

Configuring sven worked the first time, but the second time I tried to launch it, it said multimedia keys were already claimed by other app (which turned out to be another instance of sven, apparently). Killing all existing instance of sven and starting it again fix the problem (until the next time I need to configure sven again).

keucr is not loaded automatically, but this is easily fixed by adding "modprobe keucr" to rc.local.

Haven't test anything else yet. Will let you know if I encounter any other issues.

Love your work. It's very polished

Hi James,

Interesting things you write

Anyway, on to this EM350 netbook (it's an eMachines, which is low-end Acer). First boot failed - same problem as before, brcm80211 froze the machine (no problem, just activate wl and blacklist brcm).

Would that allow me to boot Lupu520 on my Acer D250 and D255?

I fai lto get what " just activate wl and blacklist brcm" stand for.

White list and blacklist brcm ahh you mean broadcom ethernet or something.

So if I do that on all my puppies that fail to boot then they will boot?

Sorry maybe should ahve sent you a PM.

Hi Nooby,

nooby wrote: Would that allow me to boot Lupu520 on my Acer D250 and D255?

Acer model numbers are very confusing - because those model has submodels, e.g. D255 can have either N450 or N550 CPU, depending on the submodels, and I'm quite sure the guts can be different also (wireless can use Atheros, Broadcomm, or Realtek etc). I know that EM350 is quite similar to one of the Acer AOA models, but can't remember exactly. Anyway, the point is there is no point comparing the model numbers - if we want to compare, we need to compare the guts rather than the model numbers.

Anyway, whether that allows you to boot Lupu520 or not, depends on what makes them fail to boot in the first place. There is no other way but trial and error ... I've downloaded Lupu520 but haven't played with it yet, so I can't say. What I can say is, in my case, Fluppy 010 and 011 failed to boot because of the brcm80211 wireless driver (the onboard wireless card on EM350 is broadcomm) froze the system during boot time. There are two drivers for this card - the open source (preferred) brcm80211 driver, and the closed-source (and older) wl driver. As shipped, Jemimah blacklisted wl driver and let brcm80211 takes over. I just swapped this configuration - I blacklisted brcm80211 and remove wl from the blacklist.

I fai lto get what " just activate wl and blacklist brcm" stand for.

This normally can be done through GUI (through the control panel), but of course you need to be able to boot first if you want to use the control panel --- so for me, I edited the SFS to change this. To "edit the SFS", I actually unpack the flp-011.sfs (using unsquashfs), edit the /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG using geany (change the line that contains SKIPLIST), and the pack it back (using mksquashfs). I think there's a GUI somewhere to do this automatically - but again, you need to be able to boot first before you can use the GUI. You can do this for any recent puppies - including Lupu520.

White list and blacklist brcm ahh you mean broadcom ethernet or something.

Yes I'm referring to blacklisting and whitelisting the wireless driver for broadcomm.

So if I do that on all my puppies that fail to boot then they will boot?

As I said - we need to know what causes the failure to boot first ...

Sorry maybe should ahve sent you a PM.

It's ok. The comment may be useful for others also, and they may be able to help you more than mine.
