zagreb999,
That seems like a reasonable thing to try, since any modifications needed are probably part of the .deb package, I assume. Since frisbee is made up of only bash scripts, it should also work in 64-bit linuxes.

As for dependencies, the main one is gtkdialog 0.8.4r514.

Please check with the developer of debiandog for any other changes he had to make to get it working.

Try installing the deb in 64-bit MX, to see how far you can get with it.

Works in Lupu 5.2.8 on an HP netbook (Atom processor)

#453 Post by sindi »

I installed the four files listed on the first page, having had to download them with Tahr 6.05 because I had no network connection with Lupu (or Saluki - both installed via the exe to the SSD which cannot be partitioned so everything shares a partition with XP).

Our router was just changed from no encryption to WEP and the Simple and Doug's Network Wizards will not connect but Frisbee does (it comes with Tahr).

Broadcom (b43?) wifi card works in Windows but I hate to use ndiswrapper.

I used a urxvt and petget to install the four files. After the Frisbee pet installed, Frisbee started and took down wlan0 and it all worked perfectly to connect. No reboot needed.

Very stable connection for half an hour of browsing and downloads.
As opposed to ndiswrapper for a new USB wifi card that was difficulto to find working XP drivers for and that has to be chosen every time you boot and keeps crashing puppy. That was our other option.

THANKS

My partner insists on using a version of puppy that works with acpitool which ruled out Tahr and Slacko and Precise. Lupu and Saluki work with acpitool (suspend to RAM). He was in the middle of switching to Linux Mint when I got Lupu working with Frisbee.
Linux Mint with a light WM can manage with ONLY 10GB hard disk.
I think the SSDI is 16GB total most of it XP. I had to delete exe installation files after use to get 400MB free space for save file.
Hiberfil.sys is taking up about as much space as Lupu.

Lupu 5.2.8 works with Palemoon (final Atom-optimized version), and I expect also with Chromium 10 (did not test on this netbook yet but it works on a regular laptop in lupu). Lupu also works on an ACER netbook. Both 2008, 1.6GHz, 1.5 or 2 MB.

XP took forever to boot and load programs. Such a relief to get back out of it. Instead of an exe installer I could probably just mount the iso file loop and copy files to sda. I had to run grub4dos (or edit menu.lst manually) because the exe installer did not add lupu to the list of linuxes to boot.

Frisbee does not work after reboot.

#454 Post by sindi »

Frisbee and the two Network Wizards cannot find any wireless signal after I reboot. Tahr finds it. Something went wrong. Reinstalling the Frisbee pet might fix it (then never turn off the computer).

Lupu cannot handle WEP

#455 Post by sindi »

I have Lupu on a laptop with pcmcia slot and stuck in a non-cardbus wireless B card with WEP and not WPA. atmel_cs.

The card is recognized but will not connect. I installed pwireless and then the frisbee beta 2 (from package manager) and the problem is wpa supplicant wants a key with a different number of characters than ours (which is 8 long).

A b43 Wireless G card does not work at all with lupu but does with Tahr. The b43 in the netbook was recognized by Lupu but did not connect except for once immediately after I installed the four packages from this discussion.

One solution is to remove encryption. Another is to use WPA, which disables a lot of my older hardware wifi including some Pocketpcs from 2002 to 2005, and also basiclinux (only uses non-cardbus cards which have WEP or NO encryption capabilities).

I tested our router wifi signal and it is -62 dBm indoors, -92 dBm at the sidewalk (better than the -101 3G Sprint signal) and probably detectable in the street. No parking allowed this side of the street. Neighbors have their own signals.
A few other houses around town have open signals - I used one during a local power outage.

The USB wifi card I bought from ebay crashes a lot. Can someone recommend a cheap one that works well with linux?
Or a way to make Frisbee work again with our netbook?

sindi,
I do not monitor this thread any more, because both Frisbee and Lucid Pup 528 have been upgraded to much later versions than lupu528-005 and the Frisbee betas.

Before wasting further effort, please install Lucid Pup 5.2.8.7, which also has a current version of frisbee. You can get it here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 518#739518

For the soon-to-be-released version, you can go to the end of that thread for a link.

I am responsible for both, so am eager to assist you. Please continue this conversation over in the "5.2.8.7" thread (at the above link).

Thank you for requesting help with this.
Richard

Lupu 5.2.8.7 Frisbee works perfectly

#457 Post by sindi »

The Dec 16 2016 Lupu 5.2.8.7 has a Frisbee that works perfectly with our WEP network, in which a laptop
and a netbook failed to connect to wifi with the other network wizards.

I then noticed that a 2014 5.2.8.7 also has Frisbee but did not test it. 5.2.8.6 did not.

My partner is delighted with the new Lupu and Frisbee and agreed to use Linux instead of Mac. Happy Ending.

frisbee and ethernet fighting togetther

frisbee and ethernet fighting togetther in XenialDog, look here
If you want to connect at home ethernet, frisbee can prevent it. Check if eth0 not disabled (Chloe Xfce Puppy Linux was)

G'day All I'm having Trouble Connecting XenialPup64 7.5 Running on a Toshiba Satyrlite Pro C650 Laptop which is a 2.1 GHz intel Dual Core CPU w/ 2 GB RAMemory to my Mobile Hotspot being from a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini SM-G800Y w/ Skinny Mobile Carrier SIM Card ( ie. Spark or NZ TeleCon ) the HotSpot Works on Other Laptops. & of course the Laptop doesn't have any issues Connecting 2 the Wireless LAN.

in this instance when I Clic' on the Manage Saved Networks Button it says Under Flags that My Mobile HotSpot is TEMP-DISABLED ( Of Course I'm Out of Range from the Wireless LAN )

Of Course I've Already Searched this Forum & the iNet, How 2 Edit or Toggle it or Re eNable it, So I'm Sorry 2 be a Bother!

Max Headroom,

You need to post your problem in this section of the forum.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/index. ... order=DESC

I assume you are using Frisbee
Make sure it is the latest version.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

My network needs a username and password to access it
( recognized by frisbee as EAP encryption ).

After version 1.4.7, it is not possible.

So, I guess, there is a bug, nobody noticed,
because that type of encryption is rare.

libomer,
Thank you for reporting this EAP problem with the current frisbee.

I don't check this thread very often because it is about the older frisbee "beta" versions. The appropriate thread is "Frisbee Network Manager 1.4.9", here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 555#898555

I consider frisbee to be stable. Apparently it isn't, completely.

I implemented frisbee's EAP support, but am "rusty" about it, now.

If you are interested in helping me restore EAP support, please post in the thread for the supported version of frisbee. We may want to work it via PM.
Richard
