Compressed ntfs and updated ntfs-3g driver in initrd.

I have got pm from one tester. Slightly modified answer from him:
Subject: FYI: Compressed NTFS
Hello:
I noticed that your latest Upup Precise has the updated ntfs-3g for allowing savefiles in compressed NTFS partitions.

I tested the fix (updated ntfs-3g) and it worked fine in BK's Precise and in Slacko.
I do have gtkdialog from Thunor`s git in Upup Precise versions. I have used the revision of the time. In Upup Precise 3.7.2 it is:
# gtkdialog --version
gtkdialog version 0.8.4 r503M.....which means essentially 0.8.3 version.

I have updated gtkdialog for having support of Pmusic updated versions. I do have installed also all other Pmusic supported dependencies....including pEqualizer. The bugs....dunno...I havent noticed bug reports....but that does not give 100 % proof.

The possible IO freezing bug is the one which puzzles me. It seems the affected users get the same problem also with 3.7.2 kernel. I dont have any clues of the reason. Filesystem handling...aufs related...no idea.

Here is an easy fix (didn't check if all ok) :

Code: Select all

# FIX user:group at same time
chown -R root:root /etc/
chown -R root:root /lib/
chown -R root:root /sbin/
chown -R root:root /usr/
chown -R root:root /root/.mprc
# FIX groups only
chgrp video /dev/fb*
chgrp disk /dev/hd*
chgrp -R lp /etc/cups/   
chgrp -R lp /var/cache/cups/
chgrp -R lp /var/log/cups/
chgrp -R lp /var/run/cups/
chgrp -R lp /var/spool/cups/
chgrp -R haldaemon /var/run/hald/
chgrp -R bin /usr/bin/
And in /etc/group , remove line with tty:x:2:

We can also set permissions :
For example : user group others = rwx r-x r-x = 7 5 5

Code: Select all

chmod -Rf 755 /

Woof Updates to interface with optional frisbee packages

#306 Post by rerwin »

Barry,
Since you are planning another release of precise pup, I request that you consider adding some of the packages I have provided for the integration of frisbee. Adding these three packages would simplify the installation and trials of the remaining, frisbee-specific packages by users/testers.

These packages do not impact the functioning of puppy without the frisbee-specific packages:
  • woof_updates_precise-20130117
    net_setup-20121101
    wag_profiles-20121117
The net_setup and wag_profiles packages simply move wag-profiles.sh into its own package, so it can be shared with frisbee and updated independently when wifi drivers are added. The woof_updates package adds frisbee interfaces to the connect wizard and AppRun, and provides a dhcpcd interface script to utilize the dropwait feature if present. Wag-profiles now includes the use of that script.

To facilitate developers' inclusion of the new frisbee package, please add a woof slot for it. The remaining two packages are alternatives for the dhcpcd and network_tray slots. I assume you are not yet ready to add the frisbee-dropwait-network_tray updates, but feel the listed three can be added with no impact to puppy. Note, however, that the old "Frisbee" package in the library will not work with the new connect interface, but should not be used instead of the integrated version.

The latest versions of the six packages are here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 521#662521 (frisbee)
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 518#662518 (the others)
As well as in the Frisbee-beta2 thread.

Currently, the new dhcpcd...dropwait and network_tray-2.6 could be added to the puppy repo. I am adding Argolance's internationalization mods to the frisbee package. So, please wait for the internationalized version before adding frisbee to the repo.
Richard

UPDATE 2/7/2012: The internationalized version of frisbee is now the "latest", although I expect some further "fine tuning" to be done. Also, I have provided a renamed network_tray package (at the above link) to correspond to its being an alternative to 2.5 instead of an upgrading replacement. I assume that the choice gets put into the "slot" for network_tray and is not a separate slot. The same goes for the dropwait version of dhcpcd. Please instruct me if you need a different naming format. I believe, now, that the "frisbee" set of packages is ready for release. Thanks for considering it.
Richard

When we are speaking of wireless...
Rtl8192cu has had problems. I have provided couple of times...in separate threads the 8192cu proprietary driver for those people without working wireless....succesfully.

It could be reasonable to provide the alternate driver in official repo. If possible. The pet modifies the MODULESCONFIG and gives preference for 8192cu....so it is not probably suitable to be in base sfs.

alsa init causes two audio pops on boot, hum on shutdown

#308 Post by galen »

I'm getting two spaced audio pops when precise inits alsa.
When alsa shutsdown it leaves line out with a hum (sounds like an open circuit hum one gets from an ungrounded input cable) other distros are not doing this such as fatdog

Are you trying to run some of these scripts on their own?

ndiswrapperGUI.sh and wag-profiles.sh are part of net_setup package. The "missing" clean_up_gtkdialog is actually in wag-profiles.sh.

defaultchmviewer is ok. It will only be relevant if a CHM viewer pkg is installed.

defaulthandler -- yes, there is a syntax error, now fixed.

mailto.sh -- again, this is OK. This script is only used when Sylpheed is installed, to set a mail handler for Firefox.

pdict -- many gtk apps spit out error messages. As long as the app works, that is all we are bothered about.

programchooser -- hmmm, this is from an ancient PET named 'programchooser', created by ...oh, his name escapes me right now.
It is a dependency of another PET 'wallpaper', by the same guy.

Did you try and run programchooser on it's own? it is supposed to be called from wallpaper, with appropriate parameter passed. It probably can be run standalone if appropriate param passed.

Precise Puppy 5.4.3

gconf is replaced by dconf, /etc/gconf/ not necessary.

There is /dev/acerhk but "modprobe acerhk" doesn't work.
There is /dev/cfs* (coda file system cache), not sure if needed.
There is /dev/dazuko but "modprobe dazuko" doesn't work.

Thank you Richard.

For me, for a long time (since the first version), Frisbee is the best interface (efficient and friendly) for wifi.
I tested your changes and I have one thing to say: "I ​​am excited that BK decides to integrate your Frisbee in woof", it will be a real benefit for users.

Sincerely,

... I think indeed we are many users to think of the same thing!
@Barry
Could you please tell us why you do not make the slightest small comment about this proposal?
Thanks!

Boot codes – clearer help files needed in ISOs.

#314 Post by ETP »

Barry,

This is a rider to my previous post to be found here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 032#680032

I believe that many of the problems with boot codes stem from the fact that some of the definitions in the official help to be found on the typical ISO by pressing F2/F3 are too open to interpretation and therefore can cause confusion.

So, using the two working examples from that post I will attempt in this post to
re-define/expand a couple of the more contentious codes ensuring that they are valid for both examples and other boot methods.

A couple of real world working examples:

CASE 1: Kernel on 16 MEG Smartmedia with main sfs & savefile on NTFS HDD (sda1)

Code: Select all

LABEL 5332 
MENU LABEL Slacko 5.3.3.2    05/07/12 
KERNEL /p5332/vmlinuz 
APPEND initrd=/p5332/initrd.gz pmedia=atahd pupsfs=sda1:/p5332/puppy_slacko_5.3.3.2.sfs pdev1=sda1
CASE 2: Kernel on first Fat32 partition of USB2 flash main sfs & save file on 2nd ext4 partition of stick.

Code: Select all

LABEL 5332 
MENU LABEL Slacko 5.3.3.2    05/07/12 
KERNEL /p5332/vmlinuz 
APPEND initrd=/p5332/initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash pupsfs=sdb2:/p5332/puppy_slacko_5.3.3.2.sfs psavemark=2
Official definition of pmedia=
pmedia=usbflash Type of media booting from. Choose one of these: usbflash usbhd usbcd ataflash atahd atacd atazip scsihd scsicd cd
This definition immediately begs the question – What is meant in this context by “booting from?

Super thanks! Sound card stopped working with all linux kernels past 2.6.35. Still refuses to work in ubuntu precise; however, I was surprised that it worked perfectly using 4.5.3 Puppy Precise.

Since XP is nearing end of life, I was getting desperate to find a Linux distro that worked with a newer kernel. Puppy is perfect because it is so resource light:-)

freeoffice spell-checker problem with Precise 5.4.x

#316 Post by drblock2 »

I have stumble across a strange problem with textmaker in Precise 5.4.x.

The German spell checker rejects all words all words containing one of the German special characters (umlaut ä, ö, ü, etc. and ß), but otherwise seems to operate correctly, even underlining old spellings like "daß" in blue.

This does not occur with all Puppies.

A fuller description of the problem is to be found in the appropriate thread:

@ Barry

It is not my habit, I do not ask others to do the job for me, but since I can not do it alone (and I'm not the only one) ...

I think I begin to be familiar with Puppy, but I'm not good with Woof.
I tried several times to create an iso file (Precise base), but I still get the same result: the boot liveCD gives me error messages.
I tried to get a Woof iso really light (at the main sfs). For this, I wanted to create a zdrv.sfs

My request for the next version of Puppy Precise, would it be possible to offer users/contributors a version with a file zdrv.sfs ? So that we can test its operation.

Sincerely,
