(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi,

Just to let you know I moved the 214X files to hda1. I modified the grub line: It still boots, no issues.

So, puppy 431 is in a folder, /mnt/hda1/puppy431, but the 214X files are all located in /mnt/hda1, i.e., there's no subfolder.

Grub is still in ext2.

Hi,

Back to work, or fun , I set up puppy 214X on our Compaq a while ago. When I came back this morning it wasn't booting properly, so I sorted it all out again, exactly like our laptop so to speak.

Basically, I've got an ext2 partition, and 214X is the only puppy in it. I used the grub line I mentioned above, with a minor variation of (hda0,4) That did the trick.

Wireless connected right off the go, which was great.

(I recall having problems with the laptop when I first tried a wireless connection using puppy 3, so I'll have to try and remember what I did back then to get it working. Later...)

Right now I've installed the devx pet and I'm going to have a run at compiling the latest clamav. We'll soon see how that goes.

So far I'm liking 214X a lot.

Until later,

I suggest you put the link to your page with the extra pets (which I came across by incidence at something like "wisdom") on the 1st page of this topis.

Hi,

I need some advice. I've been trying to compile clamav 0.96.1 but I've run into a snag. It keeps bugging me to adduser clamav and addgroup clamav. The problem is, when I run these commands in the terminal they seem to fail, bubkis. When the configure is running I get as far as: The documentation informs me that I have to have these two set up. Of course as we know puppy runs as root (with which I have no issue) but I'd like to set up these as dummies so that it makes the script happy, any thoughts?
By the way this is my compile command: The " | tee /mnt/home/config_result.txt" dumps out the content of rxvt to a file for easy reading. I also found this in the config.log: Y.

Hi,

I have wireless, but not with the r8180 driver and pcmcia card. I borrowed a DLink USB wireless adapter and am using ndiswrapper with it.

The pcmcia card is a generic one, IEEE802.11b WLAN Cardbus Card, using the rtl8180l drivers. It works fine in puppy 431 but will not connect during the wizard test phase.

Well, at least the usb Dlink works, but it uses my only usb port on the laptop.

Hi It took some time to find a version that would compile on puppy, but actually I found the altered sources on this forum itself. Should of look here first, anyways below is the driver that I just compiled, also This is where I found the sources

first install the pet below to update bzip
then configure it with

./configure CFLAGS="-mtune=i386 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-shared --enable-strip --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu --with-user=root --with-group=root

then you have to edit the /etc/clamd.conf and then you should be good to go

here's a Rox plugin that allows you to open and extract txz format files with Fileroller, Slackware packages uses this format.

Here's a clamAV and avscan(gtk1 GUI for clamv) 30MB package http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... 1-i386.pet
It does need some configuring to work. Well its a start.
ttuuxxx

Here's a fax program with the gtkgui, probably would need a dialup modem with fax to use it, just guessing, I don't have dialup so really no way to try it, could be useful for some people.

Here is nice gtk2 theme selector

ttuuxxx, I did some investigation regarding the RTL8180 driver you posted.
Indeed, the standard driver in 2.14X needs updating, but there are several issues I see with the version you posted:

- your dotpet package is near-identical to the driver already contained in 2.14X (since they were both compiled from the same source code contributed by kirk) but your version does include 1 extra module which Barry failed to include originally in the 2.6.18.1 kernel, namely: ieee80211_crypt_wep-r8180
... unfortunately this new module will never be recognised (and never loaded) because your dotpet package fails to register the presence of the new module. You should have included a post-install script to run the "depmod" command.

- the name you assigned to the dotpet driver package was taken from kirk's source code package, which is confusing and unintuitive, and fails to indicate the kernel version compatibility.

- this driver is far from stable, and sometimes requires some extra configuration steps to get it working, and this information is not available in your post.

- anyone looking for Realtek RTL8180 driver information in Puppy 2.14X (and 2.12-2.16) will be hard-pressed to find it in this post of 245 pages.

So I have just posted an RTL8180 driver update in this post:
"Extra drivers for Puppy 2 with 2.6.18.1 kernel"

Hi Guys, Last year I was playing around with Dpup and came across a Gnome game called Gweled, its basically a nice beJeweled game. Anyways I didn't bother compiling it because of all the Gnome libs, well tonight I figured why not, The game itself is like 142kb and the Libs directory was around 42MB, Then I removed the locals, docs, man pages and stripped the libs and bin files, now Its 13Mb or 3.3MB pet
anyways The game has sound which most don't and plays well.
you just need these 2 packages installed to play the game.
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... 7-i386.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... 0-i386.pet

if you want the locals and doc files install this one, (not needed for the game, just the for the 12 gnome libs)
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... s-docs.pet

If you want the dev files so you can compile with the 12 extra gnome packages,
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... .0-dev.pet

But like I said you only need the first 2 packages to play the game.

Just a not say, good to see you in the FOREGROUND again.

Thanks Minnesota I just had some spare time today, My Job is almost finished, They are talking about laying me off because the church is almost finished building it now, So I'll have more spare time in the very near future.
ttuuxxx

Gweled is a great little time- waster, thanks.

Hi ttuuuxxx,

Try this and see if it works any better than the last one! I compiled it using your configure but I had to do it in puppy 431. See if it works anyway. Its still rather large.

UPDATE

No it's not going to work in 214X, I just ran a test, see below, it thinks it needs a library. I need to recompile this under 214X. To do that I've got to figure out how to create a dummy user, clamav, ah, read your earlier post, will fix!

Just bought a new Microwave oven tonight, Guess what I'm doing with my old one???????????????????

Great, thanks. I'll take another look at that after I get clamav re-compiled.
