Hello Chrism, I had a go at compiling your iuu_phoenix driver as I described above, seems to have all worked. Attached is src and build iuu_phoenix.ko for Linux 2.6.25.4, Which is currently only in the __alternative__ and __experimental__ Puppy 4 which uses the 2.6.25.4 kernel, theres another Puppy ...

Hi Chrism, I just recently comiled an external driver for the kernel myself, it seems some things have gotten more tricky since I last did this sort of thing. It used to be as simple as what I described earlier, but now it seems that if you want to compile an external driver, you first have to compi...

Hello Andrius, I had a look, and I'm sorry to say that there is no indication of your phones storage device from the kernel. The drives that mut does see: sr0: cdrom sata DVDRAM GSA-H62N sdb: 200GB disk sata 1 partitions sda: 160GB disk sata 5 partitions Maybe google search for someone else that has...

Hello malte, If you've got the time to generate some debugging info for me, I'll see if there is a problem with mut that I can fix to help you out? First make sure that you've only got the one usb drive inserted (less to look at in debug info), give it 10 seconds for the kernel and usb system, then ...

Hi smog, It doesn't look so good, I don't think its going to work for you. Its probably just a bug in a kernel driver that means it doesn't understand your piece of hardware correctly. The device with the issue is your /dev/sdb From the output.txt, here mut opens a file handle to the /dev/sdb attemp...

Hi smog, If you would like to try mut from the command line without using PMount, type in /usr/sbin/mut If you would like to trap all the debug output from mut, to see which device is having the delay, you could try this command: /usr/sbin/mut --noserv --debug --nothreads > output.txt The number on ...

Hi smog,

How many cd/dvd drives have you got?
They are the devices that take the longest amount of time to scan, when they have a disc in them.
Switching the enging for PMount over to use mut may reduce the time.

I havn't tried Vista personally, but someone showed me their laptop, and a very nice shiny piece of hardware! He had a problem with a video file that he had downloaded off the internet, and was asking for my advice. The video had played the day before, but spontaneously it stopped working, and he ha...

Hi ol_smokey, Reformatting will not change your computers ability to mount your chips/cards. As the others have noticed, MUT knows how to detect these chips/cards when they are present, PMount can also be used for this, for either, clicking the refresh icon may be necessary. Puppy 3.01 (and earlier ...

Hi, Yes there is a small difference with chips inserted into a chip reader. Its not considered a hot-plug event. Adding or removing the chip reader is considered a hot-plug event because the usb bus is a well known bus. The bus between the chip reader and the memory chip does not generate hot-plug e...

Hi pyrael, When the kernel config changes, all the kernel modules that get loaded must be built to that new config. The Xorg and XVesa have kernel modules that are the graphics card drivers, this is probably the primary reason that the Xorgwizard did not want to run for you. If you can recompile tho...

Hi, I say /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/kernel/.config /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/.config you say /lib/modules/.config /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/build/drivers/usb/serial/.config /root/my-documents/iuu/iux-0.9/V2.6/.config It seems to me we are talking about different locations, have I read something wrong? Just to c...

Hi chrism, "You should rename it to .config and place it in the kernel source code directory next to the makefile." i.e. put it in the /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/kernel/ or /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/ directory. I can't remember which one, but it belongs next to a makefile. It shouldn't harm it to c...

Hi chrism,

Just a side note, any file starting with a period does not get shown in a ls command, its easy to think the file is not there.
Thats why the .config file is renamed to DOTconfig-xxx.
To see the .config file with ls, use "ls -a".

Jesse

Hi Chrism, Did you put in the kernel .config file for the kernel? It is all the configuration parameters for the kernel so that it knows how to build itself. The puppy linux usually comes with the .config file renamed to something like /lib/modules/DOTconfig-2.6.21.7 You should rename it to .config ...

Hi, I once worked in a software team where we needed internationalization with the languages aspect. There was one really bright cookie there that came up with a really clever idea, he came up with a design for the code such that when he compiled it, it ran several scripts to build the language supp...

Hi chrism, ok, it looks like you've got the devx package working, but that the kernel source code is not yet installed (or something), that is a seperate package to the devx as far as I know, thats probably the thing preventing the 'make all' from working for you. Here is the link for the kernel src...

Hello, The linux driver for usb chip readers is called 'usb-storage'. You shouldn't have to build it for any puppy distro as its there by default, unless perhaps you have to patch it in some way? To manually install the driver, open up an rxvt terminal window, and type in 'modprobe usb-storage', and...

I have all the full images 3072x2304 if someone is feeling creative and wants to put a puppy face in there somewhere?

Hi,

There was a pretty spectacular sunset over here a few days back, I took some photos, and just realised this very orange one might be a nice alternative for the Dingo citrus theme.
