The menu item is there but pressing it doesn't do anything. The ap is missing.

Probably not.
Seems it needs yelp to work.
I remember getting it to work, but I had yelp installed to see what it did.
I tried installing yelp with PPM, but it wanted to install 79mb of stuff. Too big to have in the Tahrpup 6.0 iso.

You can go to gnumeric->help->about and click on the gnumeric web page link, which will open in the default browser.

The user manual is easy to find there.

So, not really a bug.

A Puppy feature :shock: :D
You do not need a stinking manual. :roll:
Well, you may, so go get it from the gnumeic web site link in help->about. :) 8)

Suggestion I was making probably does not apply to that problem. The problem is probably more related to FF.

hi all, I have a problem problem with ndswrapper module:
Once the driver loaded correctly, I gol a FATAL error ndswrapper module not found

While if i use lxpuppy the driver works fine.

i googled the error and it scemo it can be solved by downloading the ndiswrapper source code and re install it.

I tried, but when I try to actually MAKE the file, I get a missing .config related error... How can I use the make command? Or simply make ndiswrapper work?

Thanks!

Hi AlsoNewtoPuppy,
could you try installing ndiswrapper again by pasting this into a terminal

Code: Select all

petget http://ftp.nluug.nl/ibiblio/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-tahr/ndiswrapper-3.14.20.pet
let me know if it works then.

Thanks

hi,

first of all thanks for the hard work!! 8)

I've downloded puppy tahr 6.0 CE PAE and I cannot connect to the internet. I use a netbook with atheros wired and wireless board. When I try to find a module manually I can find none. My question is: is the atl1c module and ath9k supported by puppy tahr or not?

Thanks for your reply.

mplayer

#45 Post by tubeguy »

I get this when trying command line mplayer:

Code: Select all

# mplayer 01-Track1.flac
bash: mplayer: command not found
When I go to /usr/local/apps/mplayer and try and run it opens VLC. No mplayer in tahr?

Re ndiswrapper:

In Tahrpup 6.0-nonpae, I ran "modprobe ndiswrapper" and got a "not found" error. So I ran "depmod -a" and "modprobe ndiswrapper". That found the module but returned a "could not insert" error.

That suggests a problem with the kernel version. I tried to compile ndiswrapper 159 from source, but it failed with numerous problems.

I checked this in a machine with a PCI ath9k card and it worked fine using PWF as the connection manager.

If you have done a frugal install, remember to include the zdrv_tahr_6.0.sfs file.

From my Sysinfo:
Manufacturer=NETGEAR WNA
Product=WNA1100
Driver=ath9k_htc

ath9k was there and working for me with no problems.
Network Wizard had my wireless detected and all I had to do was normal required setup.

Does Network Wizard see your hardware?

Ndiswrapper update:

I got new sources from Ubuntu. This compiled and works in non-pae. I don't know if it also works in pae.

thank rcrsn51
you beat me to it.

it seems PAE and noPAE need there own ndiswrapper, i thought as the kernel was the same version it wouldn't matter but it does... which means the one included in tahrpup only works with PAE, and then only after 'depmod -a'

ideally it should have been in the zdrv
