Is there a simple setting I am missing?

#201 Post by chiefengineer »

on my new Lenovo IdeaPad. Even after creating save folder,
configuring desktop...etc. For instance, after a fresh boot if I don't
start using it with a couple minutes, cursor moves great then nothing
clicks (hard reboot necessary). Same if I let it sit thereafter.

Could this be tied to some security time-out or something? My kid
still uses 721 and this happened to her a few days ago for the first time
on an Acer Laptop (a web virus?).

Re: Chrome Time

However, it doesn't keep time properly.

I noticed this checking my gmail. The current time here is 10:12pm Australian Eastern Standard Time 28 Decmeber.

I sent an email to myself. In Thunderbird, it shows as having being received at 22:12. In gmail in Firefox it shows as having been received at 10:12pm, in seamonkey the same but in Chrome 12:12pm, 10 hours behind.

The timezone here is GMT+10, so I have to assume chrome is using GMT+0

Changing locales doesn't seem to change anything.
Just guessing. Since gmail's time in Firefox is correct but gmail's time in Chrome isn't, I would think that the time headers in the raw mail message are correct. Gmail has a way to display the raw message. You could use it to confirm that the time headers are correct regardless of the browser. Once that's confirmed, the issue becomes wrong presentation of correct time. It could be due to a flaw in chrome's javascript engine. Perhaps google could point you to some relevant bug report.

Is this an 800 or 721 issue? Did you try going through dmesg output to see if the mouse hardware gets disabled?

Anything printed to the terminal?

Acer Aspire R3-131T manual/frugal install.

#205 Post by mrpete »

Here is a troubleshooting link for a manual/frugal install to this Acer's primary drive. Fatdog64 works really well aside from other distros having trouble being installed onto the internal (eMMC) device.

Advance user's will want to use the 'coldplug' option for this device in Fatdog's 'init'/'kernel' options. Without it Fatdog will not be able to find it's save file after reboot or shutdown.

RE - Chrome Time

#206 Post by p310don »

This issue is also present on Facebook.

My niece's birthday was yesterday, but Chrome is telling me it is today, because it is 10 hours behind. It is 9:30am, so it should stop telling me that in half an hour.

Firefox Facebook tells me I missed her birthday. I did. I'm not the best uncle..

Touchscreen

#207 Post by p310don »

Win, but with issues for laptop touchscreen. See thread here for detail:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 47#1014147

Note, opening the "Calibrate Touchscreen" under System on the menu does nothing, or immediately crashes.

@p310don
try this. Start geany and save the following as /usr/local/bin/fix-browser-time

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
tz=$(readlink /etc/localtime)
tz=${tz#/usr/share/zoneinfo/} 
TZ=$tz exec BROWSER "$@"
Replace "BROWSER" with the name of your chromium-based browser (chromium / google-chrome / opera-stable / whatever).
Save the file. Right click its icon, select Permissions and click Yes to make it executable a+x. Then click the icon to start the browser. See if the date problem is fixed.

Before I took this shot I noticed wlan0 coming up very early in the boot process with no mention of wpa-gui.

See screeshot. After this the card was still up, wpa-gui was white in the tray with a red cross, internet was gone, card unassociated, password gone when
network-tool failed to activate anything, and MANUALLY using iwconfig failed to connect the card. The condition persisted through boots and now I am reporting this through another distro.

Looks like I need to nuke the save folder as the reboot reported ext4 as a bad volume although it's a folder and not a savefile. BTW, wpa-gui was checked to run at boot when it was reported not to be running at all.

Most messages in that screenshot are harmless and expected. The one that shouldn't really be there is the one that confirms (twice) that wireless interface wlan0 isn't available. This tells us that an earlier problem prevents that interface from coming up.

Please do

It probably did start at boot and died early. But until you can get wlan0 recognized we can't tell for sure. I don't remember if you already said that dmesg doesn't report any errors for that wifi interface, which is what model?

wifi operation with wireless intel chip interface

#211 Post by WB7ODYFred »

I experienced similar problems that chiefengineer detailed about wifi wlan initialization. Finally on a reboot, the previously orange light for wifi, turned blue and then all worked proper for getting on line. Even automatically came up.
Know that I am
typing this from that computer with a working WiFi interface. When I had the problem with wifi. I could not get a "scan" to work using the following terminal network commands. Do you have a list of other commands you wish to issue?





Here are the dmesg output and the terminal window output you asked for:

Anything printed to the terminal?
Before I took this shot I noticed wlan0 coming up very early in the boot process with no mention of wpa-gui.

See screeshot. After this the card was still up, wpa-gui was white in the tray with a red cross, internet was gone, card unassociated, password gone when
network-tool failed to activate anything, and MANUALLY using iwconfig failed to connect the card. The condition persisted through boots and now I am reporting this through another distro.
Most messages in that screenshot are harmless and expected. The one that shouldn't really be there is the one that confirms (twice) that wireless interface wlan0 isn't available. This tells us that an earlier problem prevents that interface from coming up.
Looks like I need to nuke the save folder as the reboot reported ext4 as a bad volume although it's a folder and not a savefile.
Please do
BTW, wpa-gui was checked to run at boot when it was reported not to be running at all.
It probably did start at boot and died early. But until you can get wlan0 recognized we can't tell for sure. I don't remember if you already said that dmesg doesn't report any errors for that wifi interface, which is what model?
dmesg throws no errors for wlan0 but bluetooth fails because it appears to be on the same chip. I am happy with wpa_gui not running (also not mentioned in dmesg after boot) since I could connect the card to my home network...and if I go somewhere else I simply won't use a savefile. I also will never restart wpa_gui again.

A much bigger issue seems to be my clickpad dying for inactivity, even after a fresh boot...and as it turns out it is the whole keyboard as well. This line is all over dmseg:

[ 35.169604] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB.PCI0.LPC0.EC0._Q1D, AE_NOT_FOUND (20180810/psparse-516)

I am booting usb legacy bios. Could this be related?

WB7ODYFred: you've broken the Forum rules! (Most folks don't know there are any, though). Your boxes are far too wide and don't fit within the prescribed limit. Please adjust.

Replace "BROWSER" with the name of your chromium-based browser (chromium / google-chrome / opera-stable / whatever).
Save the file. Right click its icon, select Permissions and click Yes to make it executable a+x. Then click the icon to start the browser. See if the date problem is fixed.
This works fairly well. I mapped the browser key on the keyboard to the "fix-browser-time" script and it opens Chrome with the proper time. If I open Chrome from the start menu, it opens with the wrong GMT+0 time.

I'll give that problem a good enough to being solved tick :)

I've encountered a couple of other small issues

#216 Post by chiefengineer »

Not that anyone using WPA_GUI should care but my version
if the network-setup.sh will not store more than one password
at a time. When I configure it for a second network the first
is lost and vice-versa.

CUPS also doesn't work for me (it hasn't since 631), but this version has a better debugger. It appear to be looking for Ghostscript in /usr/bin
and escape-wrapper files which I have been supplying one at a time without any success yet. I'm printing to an Epson XP-430 new about a year ago.

Just trying to help.

Thank you for ticking [x]solved :)
We'll add this fix to the next Fatdog64 base.
How did you install chrome into the start menu? From Get Google Chrome in Control Panel > Update?

The ghostscript binary is /usr/bin/gs. The ghostscript package isn't included in Fatdog64-800 base. Have you already installed the package from Gslapt before printing? More info: /usr/share/doc/faqs/misc.html #3.

Know that I am
typing this from that computer with a working WiFi interface. When I had the problem with wifi. I could not get a "scan" to work using the following terminal network commands. Do you have a list of other commands you wish to issue?
I can't spot anything really wrong with those logs. Were you experiencing wifi problems when you took them?

Directly from the menu entry for Chrome.
