Hello Peebee,

Do you think I can send her a PM directly?

I am sure that would be OK - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/profil ... le&u=19599

She has been a bit quiet of late on this forum - you could also try through the Saluki forum - http://saluki-linux.com/Contactme/contact.php

I tried running Frisbee from the terminal to get some diagnostic messages - attached - remove the fake .gz - I typed in my actual 10 character wpa key and this was shown in the output but I've replaced it by 0123456789 in the attached.

It looks to me like in the final /usr/local/sbin/wpa_cli command that fails that a long string is being passed as a parameter rather than just the 10 character typed key.....

Cheers
peebee

Ok, Thanks, I send a PM.
Unfortunately, I'm not good in networking and programming.

I will send along your report to Jeminah, I hope it will tell her more.

For comparison, here is the equivalent report from slacko....as you can see the key gets passed as the parameter....

I suspect its a problem with the gui - has your build overwritten or replaced something that works differently in slacko??

Just for fun of it...I tested devx sfs and I compiled latest dhcpcd with it. Compiled ok. Latest dhcpcd works for me. I believe reboot is appropriate after installing this pet so that new dhcpcd is in use. Or if you havent connected to the net before...maybe it works straight. In console dhcpcd stop and dhcpcd start didnt work for me. It didnt connect before I rebooted.

This dhcpd is for sns usage. Frisbee usually has its own setup.

Also....for me qtweb has small fonts in the menu. The usual hack for it is to include Trolltech file in /root/.config. You can change the qt fonts by editing that file manually also.

Resize personal storage file is also not working. On reboot I get an error window that X did not shut down properly and an option to ignore or go to command prompt and the file size remains the same.

New ISO Chekmate 3 !

List of fixes in the fisrt post.

Trying out new v3.

When inputting my WEP key into Frisbee, I still got the following error. *Set Hex Password Failed*

Jejy69 · #49 Post by **Jejy69** » Tue 24 Jul 2012, 14:18

Yes, I know it did that from the beginning.
The v3 does not correct this defect, otherwise I would have noticed.

Gnuxo · #50 Post by **Gnuxo** » Tue 24 Jul 2012, 16:22

Do you know why Frisbee does that?

...And also, has the disconnecting issue been fixed? I am wondering if anyone else has had that problem. Maybe LXDE has an issue with my particular usb dongle.

Jejy69 · #51 Post by **Jejy69** » Tue 24 Jul 2012, 16:46

No, unfortunately I do not know ...
But I sent a PM to Jeminah to fetch assistance.

Gnuxo · #52 Post by **Gnuxo** » Tue 24 Jul 2012, 17:57

Hope she helps.

Sorry for spamming the thread.

I was wondering about replacements for chat clients. CenterIM may be a good choice. It's easy to use and works in a terminal. It supports Yahoo, MSN, AIM and IRC.

Some puppies use Ayttm but I don't like it because I can't switch off the IRC to also chat in Yahoo or others.

Hello everyone

I really like this version.

I have no problems with it disconnecting on my IBM x60 laptop.

Hang in there Jejy69, Jemimah will not leave you hanging she is an awesome dev.

Cheers

@Jejy69

I've been on v3 for an hour and SNS hasn't disconnected me yet.
Hopefully, it never well. I think progress is definitely being made here.

You are on your way to a fantastic puppy based operating system.

Edit: Alright I am rather irritated by one more thing. Qtweb is a wonderful browser, that is until you want to copy/paste something. I've used Qtweb before but I've never had so many problems copy/pasting with it before.

I highlight words to copy but the right click menu seems to consist of one word: *page source* so I've been unable to copy anything.

...And I finally got disconnected in the middle of writing this.

Jejy69 · #56 Post by **Jejy69** » Tue 24 Jul 2012, 20:21

Oh perfect! Good news!

I may have found the cause, but I'm not sure this is it.
Yeah, QtWeb is not perfect. I put it, because it is light enough for a live session. Furthermore it allows the user to choose a browser like Firefox that he loves, or Chromium.
I prefer not to impose an Internet browser contrary to Crosoft.

Hi oldyeller !

Thank you for trying it!

Thank you

Hi Jejy69

I notice that the extra string that Xdialog is producing and adding to the typed in password:

Code: Select all

(Xdialog:9249): pup-volume-monitor-WARNING **: Module loaded successfully

seems to be produced by pup-volume-monitor

which I believe is something new which you have added to check-mate and petit-pois and which isn't in original slacko??

I think therefore the Frisbee problems and maybe others are being somehow caused by this new pup-volume-monitor.....

~Cheers

Nice job, keep up the good work!

I would like to move network apps from setup to the main menu, can someone point me to the right way of doing this?
