@666philb:

I have installed Bionicpup 64 bit version in usb. Works nicely. Having one issue as my wifi is not working. looks like wlan has not been detected by bionic. I am using HP Elitebook 2540p.

Another Question, can anybody tell me what will be the frugal menu entry for bionicpup in grub2 ? I have linux mint 19 installed in my laptop. I am interested to check the bionicpup in frugal method (I had successfully setup other puppies like xenialpup32 using GRUB Customizer, but that did'nt work in the above case).

Thanks in advance .

Sorry, have to ask.
Are you sure you understand how to use the Internet Connection Wizard?

menu>System>Pup-Sysinfo>Devices>Network
Is this giving any info?
If yes.
Please post what it shows.
If no.
Devices>PCI Devices>Summary may have info.

Example needed info:

Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev c3)

If still no info.
In linux mint 19
Can you tell us what it says is the exact info on what the WIFI hardware is?

Thanks for reply @bigpup:
Yes, I am sure how to configure wifi in linux puppy: Following is the info as you asked for:

In Linux Mint 19 wifi Information is as below:

*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: Centrino Advanced-N 6200
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:43:00.0
logical name: wlo1
version: 3e
serial: 18:3d:a2:88

40
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz

configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=4.10.0-38-generic firmware=9.221.4.1 build 25532 ip=10.114.18.39 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11

In Puppy : Devices/PCI Devices/Summary is below

Network controller
• Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200
• VendorID=8086 DeviceID=4239 Rev=3e
• Kernel Module=iwlwifi

b/w that I remembered that I have faced the similar issue in the latest version of Slacko. I posted the question on puppy slacko. Got the answer from a senior forum member, but sadly I do not remember the exact Answer. I am also not able to search again that answer in the forum here. As far as I remember I have copied one of a system file to another puppy (it was tahrpup).

Thanks in Advance.

@umair - I suspected missing firmware & found your slacko post, which confirms it (use the forum search to find your posts).
Your post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 368#965368
Firmware file (goes in /lib/firmware): http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS ... 00-4.ucode

bigpup · #887 Post by **bigpup** » Mon 29 Apr 2019, 13:57

If you run Quickpet>Info>Bionicpup updates
It will install the firmware.

Bugfixes installed by Bionicpup updates:

05/03/2019 added iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode firmware ... rcrsn51 & Gordie

Make sure it gets saved in the bionicpupsave.
Reboot to get it loaded.

I'm realy impressed by this release, everything works for me out of the box
Great job Peter & 666philb!

I think this version will become my main daily multimedia OS in the livingroom.

I have one question that I would like to know, is this version "systemd free" ?
Because Ubuntu 18.04.LTS (Bionic Beaver) from Canonical uses systemd...

hi zerrax,

puppy doesn't use systemd, although does contain the lib libsystemd as so many applications require it. devuan also contains libsystemd. it doesn't have all the other stuff though and has its own init system

I have been trying to install Meshroom
https://www.fosshub.com/Meshroom.html

But among the first things it looks for is libQtCore version 5.11
- of course Puppy has version 5.95

My questions are: Will this (huge) library work with Bionicpup?
and can I install without a recompile?

er, and has anyone got meshroom running on Puppy?

Tia, cheerio,

After so much work, it seems petty to ask for something else, but
would it be a nuisance to post a SHA 256 checksum?

Thanks

Hi Brant,
If you look on the download page it is there.http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... sha256.txt

Using xenialpup64 7.5 e1000e Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 3.2.6-k was automatically installed.

When I booted bionicpup64_8.0 26-Feb-2019 no driver was installed.

Is there anything else I need to include here?

Full install to sda2 on a Acer AMD Radeon laptop.

Seems to run several degrees cooler than fully installed Fatdog 800. Noticeably the fan kicks in less frequently.

Live running save/restores using rsync working well (as per http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 44#1027844 - taking typically 2 or 3 seconds each. 1.5GB of (obviously) non-compressed space (that with rsync doubles up to 3GB).

Quickpet>Browsers>Opera

This downloads directly from the Opera download site.
Downloads a deb package that installs OK, but Opera will not run.
Get a lot of errors.

Mike Walsh made a sfs package and a pet package of Opera.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 30#1027930
I tried the sfs package.
Seems to be working OK.

May want to use them for Quickpet>Browsers

May want to put in the Bionicpup64 package repository on ibiblio

@ bigpup:-

Glad to hear it's working for you.

I'll be re-uploading these before long, since I'm re-packing them to include the PepperFlash auto-updater script from our Russian colleague, SFS. Nasty as it may be, we'll be stuck with Pepper for a while yet.....and there's still a lot of sites that insist on it. Unfortunately, most of their webmasters won't re-code their sites until the very last moment, when they'll finally have no choice but to do so.....

So we may as well make things as pain-free as possible..!

Mike.

Mike Walsh · #899 Post by **Mike Walsh** » Sun 12 May 2019, 21:04

^^^^:-

Okay, 'upgraded' version now uploaded.....with auto-updater for PepperFlash. Same link as before.

Mike.

Hey Guys & Gals! I am trying to figure out how to get my USB speakers to work with Retrovol? I have explored and attempted research for a week now and yet no joy. I love this puppy and do not want it to be something that I can't use on my Gateway M-6843 Laptop.Here are some of the specs that I know:
Cpu: Intel Core2Duo T5750
RAM: 4096 Gb
Graphics: NVidia 4 2 Go
Storage: Kingston SSD3 120 Gb

I hope that is enough intel for yall. I thank yall in advance.
Fish

NVM. I finally figured it out. Sorry for the post. You can delete this if you want to.

Here is what I did to find my USB speakers to work.
I right clicked on the sound icon in the system tray and found multiple sound card wizard.
Then I chose which sound card that I wished to use. And for good measure I rebooted the machine.
After the reboot I had the USB speakers working for my laptop.
I hope this may help someone else down the road.
