I have tested the ati installer. Applying the patch posted above...the fglrx.ko ati driver module compiles without problem. The problem for me is to get that module in work with my dual graphics. The struggling to get intel i915 module removed when it is in use is difficult....booting with discreet ati graphics loads radeon first and it gives me black screen in console. I have to type blindly until I get fglrx.ko loaded and I have to run xorgwizard blindly. I just dont have much inspiration to use it.
how to patch?

I was trying command above in /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ dir

Code: Select all

patch --dry-run -p1 < /mnt/home/patch_ati 
(Patch is indented 1 space.)
patching file firegl_public.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 5797.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file firegl_public.c.rej
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line

Congratulations to the whole community of 100 pages !!!

To patch it, you can use the attached ati.patch.gz. Remove the phony .gz. Then go to the fglrx.ko source folder. In there run in console:
patch -p1 < /path/to/the/patch/ati.patch

Then in that source folder run ./make.sh.
Now you should have fglrx....ko and symlink pointing to fglrx.ko. If not create that symlink or rename that module to fglrx.ko.
You can leave to that fglrx folder only that fglrx.ko and symlink and remove everything else. Then move that folder to under the /3.2.8-ski folder. Run depmod -a
Now you have the fglrx.ko ready to use.

Exit to console state. In console > 'modprobe -r radeon dri' and 'modprobe fglrx' and 'aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

Even though xwin might rewrite it anyway.

So...if above fails...just run xorgwizard > Choose > fglrx >...


Or....you can test this ready made pet:

rightclick on desktop ?

#1488 Post by Marv »

Apologies in advance if this has been covered. I looked and didn't find. Have looked at Xmenumaker, in xdg etc.

Is there any way to differentiate the menu shown on rightclick on desktop from that shown "in Thunar" ie on a folder or file? Ideally, I'd like to show file and directory manipulation options only when relevant. Somewhat like you can do with Thunar custom actions.

Thanks for any pointers.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

Midori and Flashplayer

#1489 Post by KJ »

What have I missed? I have not been able to get flash to work with Midori 4.3. in Saluki 011 or 012. I find that Midori works very well for most of my web needs but a couple of the sites I need require flash. Jemimah's updated Midori 3.2 in Fluppy 1.3 works very well with flash. KJ

Xfdesktop is still a little half-baked. I'm hoping that the next release will have fewer oddities.

It doesnt work for me :?
xorg complains about missing xpat, glx and fglrx modules
I played much with modprobe, xorgwizard and even reboot - no success

About kernel source sfs

Code: Select all

e854ae44ba7974d640f04fd180dc92e2  kernel_sources-3.2.8-ski.sfs
is it new, corrected?
Because I still have broken 'build' and 'source' links.
Where should they point? I will make them manually.

I extracted and patched the source with success. Thanks for helping.

Your posted md5sum is correct for the fixed kernel source sfs.
But...If you remove the broken ones first and then load the fixed kernel source sfs..I am not sure if layered file system keeps up with it. It can be that the correct symlinks does not appear.

Better do it manually:
rm /lib/modules/3.2.8-ski/build
rm /lib/modules/3.2.8-ski/source
ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/3.2.8-ski/build
ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/3.2.8-ski/source

Well...I didnt extract the package. I did run the amd.run....well I renamed it first to something easier....
so... logout and in console state #./amd.run and then I let choose the folder where to extract and typed /root/ati....All the else was fine except the fglrx.ko which didnt compile due to that shown changed kernel source. I booted to the X and changed to that folder where fglrx.ko source is and the I did run ./make.sh and renamed the module to the fglrx.ko and removed everything else. After that I fixed about 4-5 broken symlinks which pointed to that /root/ati.

After that I petted the whole stuff to ati.pet and installed it. And I got working fglrx after those manouvers in console state again. Then I renamed the pet to something more descriptive form.

Thats the whole story. So....I didnt extract the amd.run...I run it and let it install stuff to the dedicated folder - fixed all the broken symlinks (libs symlinks), patched the source and compiled the fglrx.ko and made a pet of whole lot.....

Uploaded nwipe and aria2. FolderEnc is a rox app - Better to use Cryptkeeper which has the same functionality using a panel applet.

Hi jemimah,

Great! :D

Frugal installation of Lucky 13 on an ext4 partition on Dell Inspiron Laptop. I've finally gotten it to boot, however grub4dos configuration had to be redone before it would boot properly. It looks great and is also working fine on my desktop.

Problems:
1. Logitech wireless mouse's usb receiver is not detected on boot. To get the mouse to work the usb receiver must be removed and reinserted after boot. It is then recognized and mouse works. This is also the case with my desktop installation with an identical Logiteck wireless mouse.
2. Wifi network is not recognized. Since I am unfamiliar with the included network software, I installed Frisbee, however it doesn't work because the necessary driver for the laptop's Network controller (Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030) apparantly is not present so no wifi connections are recognized.

The saluki custom puplet builder works great. It's a super addition that makes it simple to set up the puplet just as one desires.

Software Requests for PPM:
1. Your Frisbee network software
2. Bibletime Bible study software for linux. Size probably will require sfs. Also see Bibletime here.
3. Xiphos Bible study software for linux. Size probably will require sfs.

Thanks,
Jim

I am quite sure that driver is present but maybe the driver does not talk nicely to the firmware.
Could you check with dmesg what driver for wireless is loaded and what there is about firmware...essential is the version it asks and does it load correctly or is it missing.
