DevuanDog 'Beowulf' [DISCONTINUED]
Hi wanderer, thanks for testing !
To make wifi work, you probably need to install firmware for your wifi driver (firmware not included in Devuandog yet, maybe better to do so in the next ISO)
What's the output of :
The firmware can be installed from Synaptic if we know which one you need, e.g. realtek or e.g. iwlwifi
For info, other option:
There's firmware .squashfs including the most important:
https://github.com/DebianDog/DevuanDog/ ... 0.squashfs
Download to some place (not inside the system itself, but outside, e.g. to some partition e.g. sda2) and load it from pcmanfm right-click 'Activate Module"
Or: if you boot frugally, add the firmware .squashfs to the "live" folder and reboot.
Also required to learn how to use Peasywifi, read the ---> Help
EDIT: Ooops... Posted at the same time, how did you manage setup wifi ?

I did use similar as already existing, "mklive-devuan" (for ascii branch)wanderer wrote:why and how did you choose what to put in it
how did you build it
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 908#996908
but changed to "beowulf" branch, using debootstrap (it's great way to build a system), made more changes and afterwards remastered with quick-remaster. (well, this the short story)

Latest version installed. Browser uninstalled and linked to portable Firefox and Thunderbird like my main Stretch. Remastered and did normal little adjustments. Everything works fine so far. Sound works in Firefox.
Seems good to go.

Hello Fred,*** DevuanDog update 2019-03-29 ***
Just installed your latest version (thanks for that). I am posting from it now. Have not had much time to test but have found one problem which I think is related to the intel issue. If I go to Tools>Preferences>Privacy>Exceptions I cannot copy and paste to the "Address of website" box. Left clicking on the box does not make it active. Right clicking gives the choice to paste but on selecting this nothing appears. Unsurprisingly, I cannot type directly in the box either. Just in case I checked the mouse and tried another but neither worked. Both work normally elsewhere. This is not a big issue but I thought it worth reporting.
Regards,
Ken.
Thanks Ken !
Do you have this PM issue with a pristine Devuandog install ? (or did you perhaps use savefile from earlier version?)
I ask because I don't have the problem you describe (but I do have Intel graphics too) and Palemoon is pre-configured in latest Devuandog
This included pre-config should fix a) from mentioned here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 44#1016844
The b) issue (or perhaps the problem you have) can possibly fixed with the 20-intel.conf from here:

Hello Fred,
The quotes below are based on your links.

Yes all new with new changes.dat in casper.Do you have this PM issue with a pristine Devuandog install ?
The quotes below are based on your links.
Yes this is preconfigured as true.browser.preferences.animateFadeIn to true
/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf did not exist in my version of /etc/X11/. On adding /xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf "Address of website" box is now working. I did run an md5 check sum on the iso and it corresponded with the one given. Should I have had an /xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf without adding it manually? Thanks again for your help.place the file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf, then reboot
Regards,
Ken.
No, /xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf is not included in the Iso, good to know that adding it solves the problem for "Address of website" box, thanks again.Ken wrote:/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf did not exist in my version of /etc/X11/.

Hi all
Regarding the Palemoon issues...
I'm hesitating to add the fix/workaround for Palemoon by adding the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf in next DevuanDog ISO.
This is because I've had the experience when doing that it may have side-effects when booting from a computer that hasn't got Intel graphics (e.g. having Nvidia instead).
So, my question is:
Can anyone who has Nvidia graphics test by adding /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf :
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &id=121361 (remove fake .gz) then create directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ :
And copy the 20-intel.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d , then reboot with changes saved and see if it will boot to the desktop or not.
I can't test this atm.
Thanks !

I can confirm, it does NOT show the desktop with that file added. In both 32 and 64 bit versions.fredx181 wrote: Can anyone who has Nvidia graphics test by adding /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf :

Morning Fred !
Can confirm Problems with 20-intel.conf
Have NVIDIA Graphic-Card .
Struggled hard to install Beowolf and Xenial Dog on my (new) Dell Laptop ,nearly gave up .
Just found out by accident that inserting /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf was the Reason Beowolf and Xenialdog did not boot into X (Desktop) on my Dell Laptop ..
It hangs while booting .
On my (older ) Toshiba 3000 Laptop no such Problems occured.
Same Happened with Xenial Dog .
So i think adding 20-intel.conf by default could lead to ,in some kind of Hardware, OpSys not booting into X (Desktop) .Maybe Nvidia is the reason Don`t know .
Better keep it out IMHO.
Regards

I have an nvidia graphic card (onboard, that is) also and now I begin to understand why when I entered the desktop, system seems hanged up, but it's not. I guess real reason is neither my mouse nor my keyboard are working, exactly as it happened when I installed nvidia driver in DPup Stretch for the first time (I'm trying DevuanDog-2019-03-29_32-bit).backi wrote:Can confirm Problems [...]

Hi 01101001b!
I`ll try to explain .
I installed DevuanDog 'Beowulf' Alpha to an USB Stick ...with no NVIDIA Drivers).
on my Toshiba Laptop Machine (without NVIDIA Card ) it boots fine .
Tried to boot to my Dell Machine with NVIDIA Card used same Usb Stick(DevuanDog 'Beowulf' Alpha...no NVIDIA Drivers) ,which boots fine on my Toshiba ..(with no NVIDIA Card)..
..no Luck ....stuck..hangs....not booting to Desktop .
Reason ::::
Someone in another Thread proposed to put 20-intel.conf into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and--or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d .......to solve some Issues with Palemoon.
This 20-intel.conf file located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and--or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d prevented me booting to Desktop (also in Xenial Dog) on my Dell Machine with NVIDIA Card .
Removing that 20-intel.conf solved that Issue .
Now my Dell Machine also booting fine ........
By the way .... i never had Luck to install NVIDIA Driver in DevuanDog 'Beowulf' Alpha until now .
Not quite sure if we are talking about the same Problem.I can not quite figure out what you are trying to express .backi wrote:
