Three-Headed Dog 5.2.8.005 Updated APR 25 2012
Seamonkey Bug
I can confirm majorfoo's Seamonkey 2.3 bug. I've only tested in 529. If you clear cookies, via Clear Private Data, you are locked out of Seamonkey once you leave it. Rebooting restores the access. It occurs if you set Edit->Preferences->Privacy and Security to always clear private data and tick cookies. The bug also occurs if you use Tools->Clear private data and tick cookies. (I probably did not actually have any cookies in the system when I did this testing.)
Re: Seamonkey Bug
What is really strange is that this only happens in lucid series.I have tried 525,528 and 529. Problem exists in all three.Snail wrote:I can confirm majorfoo's Seamonkey 2.3 bug.

If i go to slacko-4.99.1 or next 500 alpha2, problem does not exist.
Posting now from next 500 alpha2, installed seamonkey-2.2-Lucid525.pet, then updated to seamonkey 2.3. No problems here

I'm running SeaMonkey 2.3 on 525,528,529 and Lucid Retro (in 529 at the moment)....all set up to clear private data and cookies on exit....and I haven't seen this problem yet.majorfoo wrote:What is really strange is that this only happens in lucid series.I have tried 525,528 and 529.

Everything appears to be working pretty well,nothing really to complain about.Naturally, SeaMonkey will start acting up now probably.......

Re: Seamonkey Bug
DId you check ALL boxes in Privacy&Security - Note your screen shot on another post did not have all boxes checked. Once all boxes are checked, close browser and then reopen- Sometimes it opens on first try but not on second. Open and close a few times and see if you can create the problem.James C wrote:

Re: Seamonkey Bug
I'll confirm that with all boxes checked when SeaMonkey 2.3 is closed there is a process or processes continuing to run in the background preventing SeaMonkey from reopening.majorfoo wrote:DId you check ALL boxes in Privacy&Security - Note your screen shot on another post did not have all boxes checked.

Unchecking boxes did not help,had to do a browser reinstall.
Just to inspire playdayz for future projects........
I was bored so I rebuilt Three-Headed Dog aka 529 with a 2.6.39 kernel,drivers,etc.. Works pretty well.Seems pretty snappy.

Apparently Three-Headed-Dog already contains the new ath9k_htc wifi driver, thanks to its modern kernel version,
but I don't think it contains the necessary firmware that this new wifi driver requires.
I now attach the firmware, plus updated configuration files so that the Network Wizard will recognise the ath9k_htc driver as compatible with WPA/WPA2 wifi encryption.
Plug in your USB wifi device only AFTER you have installed this dotpet. Otherwise, you will need a reboot.
These are the USB wifi devices which should (in theory) be supported by the ath9k_htc driver:
0cf3:7010 Atheros generic
0cf3:7015 TP-Link TL-WN821Nv3
0cf3:9271 TP-Link TL-WN721N/WN722N & Unex DNUA-93F
0cf3:1006 TP-Link TL-WN322G v3/TL-WN422G v2
0cf3:b003 Ubiquiti WifiStation Ext
0846:9030 Netgear WNA1100
0846:9018 Netgear WNDA3200
07D1:3A10 Dlink Wireless 150
083A:A704 SMC Networks
13D3:3327 Azurewave
13D3:3328 Azurewave
13D3:3346 IMC Networks
13D3:3348 Azurewave
13D3:3349 Azurewave
13D3:3350 Azurewave
04CA:4605 Liteon
040D:3801 VIA
1668:1200 Verizon

I can confirm that this worked - my TP-Link TL-WN821Nv3 USB dongle is now detected using the ath9k_htc driver after applying the firmware .pet

I just had to OK some message about Puppy not knowing whether WPA/WPA2 was supported by the USB driver (or something along those lines). After that I plugged in the USB dongle again and there it was on the network interface list!
Thanks Tempestuous and thanks Playdayz for releasing this, at long last (for me), fully functional and smooth-running Puppy!

Brown Mouse, majorfoo, and others,
This is experimental but it has been working for me. It does 2 things--first, it makes the newer chromium based browsers work without the pinwheel of death problem with loading, and second, it lets Seamonkey and other gecko based browsers work when installed along with the Chromium browsers.
1. First, please uninstall any Iron, Chromium, or Chrome pets.
2. Second, install this libgconf2-4_3.1.6 pet.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... _3.1.6.pet
3. Then install one or more of these Iron 13, Chromium 15 or Google Chrome 13 pets.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... cid528.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... -Lucid.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... -Lucid.pet
Please use only these pets--definitely do not use the pets for Slacko.
Install the Seamonkey 2.3 Lucid pet if desired, or Firefox, etc. If they are already installed they should now work without re-installation (crossed fingers).
Please let me know, especially if you notice any side effects, since if this works out it will be included in the first Instant Update. Thanks.

Crazy Man! I hope to keep Three-Headed Dog as an ongoing Derivative--so maybe we can experiment to see which kernel works better, or if there are any advantages one way or the other.Just to inspire playdayz for future projects........

I can fix that, if you please run this command -Puppeteer wrote:I just had to OK some message about Puppy not knowing whether WPA/WPA2 was supported by the USB driver
Code: Select all
readlink /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver
Code: Select all
../../../bus/pci/drivers/xxx
Hi Tempestuous,tempestuous wrote: I can fix that, if you please run this command -The result will be in the form ofCode: Select all

but it's just the driver-name at the end that I need.Code: Select all
../../../bus/pci/drivers/xxx
I ran the following:
Code: Select all
readlink /sys/class/net/wlan1/device/driver
...and the output was:

tempestuous (or someone else), Could you briefly explain how firmware works. I thought it was included in the kernel--at least in the kernel pet in /lib/modules/all-firmware. In Lucid 5.2.8 rerwin provided some replacement firmware tar balls.
But there is also /lib/firmware that does not seem to be included in the kernel pet.
The bottom line question I guess is what needs to be done to make sure we have the most recent and correct firmware?

Can't boot three-head lucid 5,2,9 from USB (without HarDDisk).
Same bugs (errors) in poparpup 003, midnightsun 003 and some others.
How to fix this? (Boot from USB flash without hdd - I'd read... the patch for this in Barry Blogs but I did'nt understood how to fix this errors. 01Micko had fixed (successful) this error in his slacko 3.12.37 beta

Ah, the ath9k_htc driver is reporting itself as "usb", which is what recent USB Ralink wifi drivers do, too.Puppeteer wrote:...and the output was:Code: Select all
../../../../../bus/usb/drivers/usb
OK here's a hotfix for the Network Wizard.
I have also updated the ath9k_htc-firmware package earlier in this thread, so I will remove the hotfix in a few days.
