devx issue? |
|
Tried to compile the full udev 167 with extras from T2 with their patches.
Code: | ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/sbin \
--libdir=/usr/lib --with-rootlibdir=/lib --libexecdir=/lib/udev \
--build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --disable-introspection
# but fails with
.....
checking for acl_init in -lacl... no
configure: error: libacl not found |
So I try to compile acl-2.2.47 (T2-patched) with
Code: | ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--libdir=/usr/lib --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu
#or more elaborate options
#but it also fails with
FATAL ERROR: attr/xattr.h does not exist.
Install the extended attributes (attr) development package.
Alternatively, run "make install-dev" from the attr source |
Though attr/xattr.h IS in /usr/include.
But then I try to compile attr-2.4.43 just the same with
Code: | ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu
#also tried other config options but
make #always fails with
=== attr ===
gcc -g -O2 -DDEBUG -funsigned-char -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -DVERSION=\"2.4.43\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DPACKAGE=\"attr\" -I../include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c -o attr.o attr.c

Now, I'm far from expert compiler but is it me or something is missing from devx?
Does Racy uses the standard T2 toolchain?

Synaptics |
|
Trying Racy on a VIA C7-M machine with the VIA VX855/VX875 chipset (OLPC XO-1.5) and a 2.6.35 (OLPC) kernel that inactivates the synaptic driver.
The result is that Racy boots to desktop but keyboard and mouse are dead (internal or external). X is working fine and the machine is not frozen.
Looking at logs I can see in dmesg
Code: | input: PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input5 |
and in Xorg.log
Code: | (**) Synaptics Mouse: always reports core events
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux
No such device.
(EE) Synaptics driver unable to open device
(EE) PreInit returned 11 for "Synaptics Mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Unloading synaptics
DEBUG: Stalled LOOP: 314
… |
However the same exact messages are showing also with the same kernel and the same machine in puppies that work fine on this laptop. Namely, puppy-5xx, Slacko, dpup etc. There Xorg.log has (from puppy-5xx)
Code: | (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.2
Synaptics Mouse no synaptics event device found
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psaux
No such file or directory.
(EE) Synaptics driver unable to open device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
(**) Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
(**) Mouse0: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Mouse0: Protocol: "IMPS/2"
….. |
So I guess the question is, is xserver/synaptics configured/compiled in some specific way distinct from the other woof-based puppies?
It's a petty because Racy looks faster than the other puppies at least on the OLPC XO-1 (that works OK with the exception of power management dues to the missing extras in udev-see above post)
For the record the xorg.cong is attached.

... and since I'm at it, though rather a woof issue.
in all puppies "modbrobe --ignore-install/remove" is an "unrecognized command" even when the "FULL" version is used.
Is this intentional?

I know a little bit of the ^FULL^ modprobe source code :
1.: there are some -options missing in the options macro , at least for modprobe -V 3.6 and 3.11 .
[edit]
ERRATA: after testing I got a similar message
Code: | modbrobe --ignore-install aes |
bash: modbrobe: Kommando nicht gefunden.
bash: modprobe : Command not found
Then I looked inside the modprobe source , and I found the macros :
{ "ignore-install", 0, NULL, 'i' },
{ "ignore-remove", 0, NULL, 'i' },
Then I tried
Code: | modprobe --ignore-install aes |
a second time and then it worked :
lsmod | grep aes
aes_i586 7098 0
aes_generic 26376 1 aes_i586
So point 2 is partly wrong despite the '-i' option :
2.: [strike-through]there are no '--ignore-install|--ignore-remove' macros defined as options , but [/strike-through] they both are defined as '-i' ; passing the binary internal 'mit_ignore_commands' flag to the appropriate internal functions .
[/edit]
3.: as far as I know , Puppy uses the modprobe ^-FULL^ commands by default .
The first Racy still seems to use the /sbin/modprobe instead of /sbin/modprobe-BUSYBOX-NOT-USED ,
but for tinyRacy I can not check this from 431 , because the dotSFS are made with features , only a kernel 2.6.38+ seems to be able to access because of the new XZ/LZMA compression .

You are right.
"modprobe --ignore-install" does not work but "modprobe -i" does.
Thanks

Got the 'disappearing CD icon' problem - right click overlaps underlying 'delete'. Problem discussed somewhere but don't remember solution. Suggested moving the position of the underlying pop-up?

Dependent on your screen resolution , the 'delete' option appears directly under the mouse or not .
If you have a mouse , that tends to send dobble-click impulses thought you felt you clicked the drive icon only once ,
it sends the second signal to the pop-up menu and activates the menu-point under the mouse .
I would suggest an older or newer mouse , replace the batteries , clean or dirty the internal contacts of the mouse .

Nothing wrong with this (HP-badged Logitech) mouse! There's no contact bounce due to the opto-couplers. There's some wrong setting in the coding because all other Puppies, new & old, used on new & old machines do not exhibit this feature. There was some discussion, but I forget the outcome - if there was one. Perhaps BK was testing it on a flaky serial mouse just before he wrapped up his development cycle?! In short, it's unique.

Problem with Video playback |
|
Running Live media system. Selecting FULLSCREEN yields the following.
On boot, system did not properly discover video and produced a blank screen. I Ctrl-Alt-Bjso and xorgwizard for VESA to get to desktop.
I opened a folder of video files and system does not drive the actual video in Full screen even though the application has expanded to fullscreen.
Not sure if this is the video player or the video sybsystem. Code: | Racy Puppy, version 5.1.101 on Sun 2 Oct 2011

full screen |
|
From my little knowledge of MPlayer, the option "xv" enables full screen while the default produces the full screen effect that you said. However, "xv" requires Xorg and will not work in Xvesa.
Since my install can only use Xvesa, that left me no hope for "xv".
That was in MPlayer. I installed vlc and qt4 and got video full screen working.
ADDITIONAL: Racy can't use the old OpenOffice sfs4 that Barry uploaded with Puppy 4.31. It is working in other sfs4 puppies, so there must be a problem somewhere.

@raffy. Thanks for your help. You are right about the video driver. I had to revert to VESA when the system started desktop with black screen. But, I just xorgwizard'ed Noveau and now the player's video is as expected. Thanks again.
I saw the OOo problem as well. But, it may be due to some missing libs.
I sent a PM to Barry on potential missing libs requesting consideration.
But, RACY is fast, very fast!

This is probably not a problem which will concern many people but Racy has broken Mailwasher for Linux for me. It no longer saves the registration code on reboot and reverts to unregistered/trial mode. Apart from this it works as expected. I wonder if this is a kernel issue or issue with updated libraries?

Not sure about the right grep syntax for 'Fatal server error' at the moment , though .
[edit]
For the Puppy-43 xorg-server 1-3-0 it looks like that :
Code: | grep -i -A1 'Fatal server error' xerrs.Xnvidia.log
Fatal server error:
No matching cards found! |
There is another syntax for the second line with something like
"Failed to map the device" ; but to check this I have to boot another kernel with maybe different drivers loaded .
I have a
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
product: NV18 Board Chip Rev A2
card and "Xorg (1-3-0,1-7-X,1-11-X)" and the "Xchips" and "Xvesa" (1-3-0) do run it , but not "Xnvidia" and almost all other kdrives [ with or without the appropriate vendorFramebuffer.ko 's inserted ] .
Funny , choosing 'chips' as Xorg driver , did start 'X' with max resolution (1600x1200) as the ^Lupu Xorg boot directly to desktop^ did - with the whole device section missing in xorg.conf . Racy Xorg or xorgwizard gives me 1024x768 in PUPMODE=5 .
That's it for now .
[/edit]
________________________________________
Another [ unproblematic ] occurrence is , that if
echo $LANG
de_DE@euro
is given ,
dc returns numbers like 123,456
comma instead of a dot for floats !
There are quite some scripts , that use "cut -f X -d '.'" to format the output of the 'dc' command to be useable for the 'expr' command ; example from /tmp/xerrs.log :
expr: non-numeric argument
/usr/sbin/background_reshape: line 56: [: -ge: unary operator expected
could need a LANG=C to prevent this .
"grep 'dc ' /usr/sbin/* | grep 'cut'" in /usr/*/*[/*] and /etc/*/*
did not throw much and the scripts that show additionally have already LANG=C set . So background_reshape may be [ one of ] the last leftovers , that did not get updated for that until now .
Anyway , reading
grep LANG=C /usr/sbin/re*
/usr/sbin/remasterpup2:LANG=C #faster, plus Xdialog happier.
may be the solution for the Xdialog warnings described in one of my former posts :
Quote: | I recompiled Xdialog from debian lenny , because there is no Xdialog for later debians , including the patch on my machine "uname -m 'i686'" with "./configure --with-gtk2" which installs to /usr/local and the Xdialog of bootmanager is working correctly now . The size of the binary is still 'ls -s 69KB" .
The only thing is
"(Xdialog:26076): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()"
that spits out . |
