Think I found a bug

zw094114.sfs isn't mounted on boot after saving to a partition (directly to partition, no save file). It loads fine after saving to a save file, though.

AC '97 modem does not work

#77 Post by kenj777 »

My internal modem does not work with Wary_094.
Works great with 4.3.1 and Wary_070 with 2.6.30.5 kernel.
I have a
Compaq Presario 2500 laptop
with
ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller
which uses the Conexant HSF/HCF modules.

Tried the new upgraded the firmware tarballs for the Conexant HSF and HCF modems. They didn't work either.

booting wary-094 frugal really seems to have damaged Macpup-Foxy_3 full install more severe than expected .

/etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG
/etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE
/etc/DISTRO_SPECS

had been overwritten

busybox seems to be still 1.15 but instead of rebooting it restarts X even from the prompt cl .

shutdown is working but even replacing the etc files from /FIRSTBOOTBACKUP seems not to do it.

I can still only boot kernel rw .

ro gives Xhickup that is that fast that I can not read it ... something with `xwin` line 400+ .
logging in at tty 2 failed somehow ( perhaps because of that hickup that occured there also )

/tmp is still (`chmod`) 1777

That's the same sound card as my Inspiron 700m.

or watching downloads with mplayer.

Thanks for post your discovery. Wary should already have the latest HSF firmware. If the sizes are different between wary's and whatever you tried. please restore wary's. Better yet, start with a fresh pupsave and go as far as you can toward connecting. Then stop where you are and run pmodemdiag in a console. Then post or PM me the pmodemdiag file it produces. That will get me started on resolution. Thanks.

Don't know what happened to cause my (dell) crash so. I will try wary on another older Gateway PC and see what happens-Irishrm.

Hebrew and Arabic support

#83 Post by don570 »

When I checked if there was support for Hebrew or Arabic
I found there was none. I used the test page
http://www.yudit.org/test.html

The solution was to install the improved DejaVu fonts
by Iguleder.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=30875

I also discovered that Rox Filer now allows Arabic filenames and
folder names. Nice.

Thinkpad 600E pcmcia problem

#84 Post by peebee »

pup431 runs ok on my old Thinkpad 600E laptop.....

as wary094 is aimed as a replacement for pup431 thought I'd try it.

Boots OK from frugal install but no pcmcia cards are detected.

Tried to issue the pcmcia-socket-startup command as this did the trick on another puppy - but this time it freezes the cursor and mouse/touchbutton effectively crashing the Thinkpad.

Anybody got any ideas on how to bring the pcmcia back to life under wary094? I need if for wifi etc so its a bit of a show stopper.

Or is this laptop too old for wary???

Many thanks
Peter

wary frugal boot also created an /initrd directory on the harddrive among all the other dirs there

I mv this new created folder one level deeper into NewDir
( and deleting the link /mnt/home that pointed to this new created /initrd directory
( which should point to / at full installs ) )
finally made it to boot 'ro' again.

I would have to `diff -uraNd /woof0 /woof1` to see the differences.

I had a short look at some Upup-432-woof these days and had been overwhelmed by the many tabs at the the woof-GUI.

People that can work with it are large ways smarter than me .

Wacom Bamboo Tablet successful

#86 Post by don570 »

I was able to use my Wacom Bamboo tablet with Wary 094.
The pressure sensitivity worked with mtpaint 3.31
I installed wacom-0.8.4-4_xorg_driver.pet from
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=16491

Note that it wouldn't work when I tried the following:
wacom-0.10.7_xorg_driver.pet
wacom-0.10.8_xorg_driver.pet

I am having the same problem as kenj777, except I am running on an Dell Latitude c840 laptop.
Hardinfo report:
Modem Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem Controller
But It has a Pctel modem built in.
I have also installed your newest “modem_update_to_wary094-woof-2.pet

right click options

#88 Post by don570 »

For extra convenience here's some right click extras
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-c0d18e18.html

For instance it will extract a pet and not destroy the original.
It will burn ISO if blank disc is in tray.
It will open up videos full screen. Press escape to exit full screen.
It will add songs to Pmusic playlist.

It's intended only as an add on.
It's very small because it's mostly links.

kenj777, glenco,
Thanks for the diag files. The HSF package seems to be damaged, to put it mildly. Give me a little time to work the problem. I plan to test with my HSF PCI modem first, then probably compile HSF for the wary kernel. The "hybrid" nature of it makes the preparation a bit tricky. I hope that is where things went wrong.

Best news since sliced bread?

#90 Post by Sage »

Had a brief interlude enabling more Wary0.9.4 testing and find that it will run tolerably well in only 144Mb. Actually, 128+32 of which 16 was used to run the onboard video (Xorg, not VESA). Could open and use eight apps.; more might've been possible. Nearly made the opening screen with 64Mb.
Hope this will spur Herr MeisterCoder to develop even smaller .iso s, as mooted recently!

Modem update package 3

#91 Post by rerwin »

I have added a new capability to the modem update package on page 2 of this thread. It supports USB modems that do not need their mode switched after the initial switch to modem mode. This requires the usb_modeswitch 1.1.4 package. Please try 1.1.4 (and related data base update -20100826) and this fix if your modem does not work after a "warm boot" (a restart, instead of shutdown and boot) with the modem still plugged in from the previous session.

The "-3" package is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 900#461900
The usb_modeswitch packages are here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 074#431074

Having NIC problems with W0.9.4. Got boxloads of RTL8139D cards, but cannot get them auto nor manually detected, using the loaded modules. Green light is ON. 8139C nor 8139too drivers don't work. 8139D is utterly ubiquitous; expected it to be the default RTL module in the list? Is this an oversight or have I got other issues with this Intel chipset/cpu?!

Wary Puppy 0.9.4 (094) feedback

#93 Post by Billtoo »

I installed Wary 094 to a 4gb flash drive using bootflash and it's
running on my Acer Revo Nettop pc which has an Atom processor.

The graphics chip is an Nvidia ION and I downloaded and installed the

site.

I switched to icewm version 1.3.7 and the lucid themes pet for icewm
installed and works.
I also added EudoraOSE, plus some other stuff.

Wary 094 is working well on this little pc.

edit: I've gone back to Wary 090 kernel 2.6.35.7 on two newer desktop computers, I bought more flash drives and had to use them for something :)

Billtoo,
Could you show the contents of PUPSTATE here?
