stifiling, peebee,
the archpup kernel might be a bit problematic

i was wondering if that may be the case. i myself am using the retroprecise non-pae kernel 3.2.32mavrothal wrote:stifiling, peebee,

but try adding to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
blacklist b43
blacklist bcma
blacklist ssb
and add to the file /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG in the addlist line:
ADDLIST=' lib80211 wl '
it's also saying to try in addlist 'lib80211_crypt_tkip' instead of lib80211, and possibly blacklisting 'brcm80211'
so let's see if messing around with those different configurations, makes any difference.
you know something else that just dawned on me is that i don't think ppl really know that pacman is a 'complete' and easy to use package manager. Just reading the thread title it may be viewed by many as just another puplet by the name of ArchPup. based on Lucid, or Precise or something.
As silly as it may sound, it may register in a lot of users heads as "ArchPup:Made with latest Arch packages.........based on Precise".
Many people may be skipping over it because some of the other titles have a more attention getting headline, and they also don't know pacman's capabilities.
they don't know how easy it is to install those hellishly hard in traditional puppy, favorite apps of theirs using ArchPup, and is just using alternatives apps in a more attention getting 'title' derivative.

Looked at the kernel building def file a bit and I can see a potential problem.mavrothal wrote: the archpup kernel might be a bit problematic
It appends the aufs Kbuild into the kernel Kbuild
Code: Select all
cat $build/aufs3-standalone/include/linux/Kbuild >> include/linux/Kbuild
You may want to correct it and trying building the kernel and headers again.- copy ./{Documentation,fs,include/linux/aufs_type.h} files to your
kernel source tree. Never copy ./include/linux/Kbuild.

LAN setup with Static IP
Dear Darkcity
I would like to inform you that now I am getting internet on Start up after inserting the Code on /root/.start. However, another problem cropped up. i.e. now time clock is not showing properly.

@rameshiyer
is the solution similar to Stifiling's suggestion, here?
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 048#677048
Could add the code to /root/.start if you don't want to manually run the script everytime.
BTW is there any chance of a Startup folder like in trad Puppy?
EDIT: thanks for USB drive help ; -)
How is the clock not showing properly, wrong time or wrong format. Are you still using the advice from Stifiling?
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 840#676840
I haven't bothered setting the correct time and locale on archpup yet.

Time Setting
Darkcity
Wrong time. Now time is around 1.25pm. However, in machine time is around 8.50am. As advised by Stiffing, the code was inserted was "hwclock --localtime --hctosys &" in '/root/.xinitrc' script.

mavrothal: I removed line
and compiled only linux-headers package. btw linux-api-headers package is currently in
archpup.sfs, it should be in archdev, good thing for saving 700KB. Will test later compiling
whole kernel modules and vmlinuz, or someone else could test - you would need to do this:
Then copy linux from def-scripts to /mnt/home/data/puppy/def-scripts and type:
spkg -c linux.

Now you could build aufs-utils without problems.
Just remember to build "shared" instead of the default "static" (sed -i 's/static/shared/' Makefile) otherwise you get a 20-times bigger package
It would appear though that linux/def is still not building and packaging headers. Just the kernel and the modules.simargl wrote:Then copy linux from def-scripts to /mnt/home/data/puppy/def-scripts and type:

Latter: I see you are moving to 3.7.2
Be advised however that aufs will fail again, even with the last fix.
3.7.x aufs also needs:
Code: Select all
cp -r $build/aufs3-standalone/include/uapi/linux/aufs_type.h include/uapi/linux

Compiled 3.7.2 kernel and using it right now,
BUT there is one problem - aufs header is missing from /usr/include/linux, file aufs_type.h is not
created in that folder after make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=$destdir/usr headers_install. Will try to
fix it, to only make linux headers I commented two lines
and added exit at the end of compile function, so package function never starts.
What's worth to mention - with linux-3.6.8 using same method aufs header - IS created.

Canon Prnter
Dear Sir
I have installed the printer driver. However, I regret to inform you that I am not able to print. I don't know the reasons. In windows, it asks the Department Id and Password. However, here I don't find any builtin settings or not asking any ID or PWd while giving print order .? This is network printer so no direct connection is provided. Every department having Numeric Id and Password. In windows, there is no problem. Any such option is available in Canon Linux Printer Driver. Sir, do you have any idea.

simargl,
what is the "linux-headers-3.6.8-1.tar.bz2.gz" file you posted above?
Neither pacman nor tar can handle it (I did try also removing .gz of .bz2)
(Latter: I guess it is what it says. A gzipped bzipped tarball
The headers work fine though )
Regarding the 3.7.2 kernel, I trust you added "include/uapi/linux/aufs_type.h".
What "make headers_check" says?
BTW Aufs support for 3.7.x just started and may have problems. Also any drivers compiled against 3.6.8 must be recompiled...
If you plan a 12.12.3 you may want to stick with 3.6.8

Yes, but this has to do with how it was compiled, the firmwere and udev. Not with the kernel version.bark_bark_bark wrote:but still the 3.6.8 kernel is problemetic with a lot of devices.
All the other puppies with the exception of the latest Upup, have considerably older kernels. How do they do with your hardware?...

Hi simargl, thank you for your help that I didn't use until yet because of the obsequies at home.simargl wrote:@oui: There's icecat package available in AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/, maybe it will work better than debian's or other you used.
I did try to download the package at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/ and to install it using the option pacman -U according to your recommandations in the build-in help of 12.12.2 but nothing to do...
the option pacman -Ss doesn't find some icecat package (Debian doesn't install icecat but his own iceweasel and doesn't work closely with GNU !)
so that I actually yet use a marvelous actual version of Slitaz (under 1 Go with full TeX live and Lyx installed; please, it is no provocation from me: Slitaz did have big problems in the last 2 years but they are evidently solved! an perfect X windows, a Linux conform management of users and password excepted that user 'tux' is standard (can be changed; if changed at installations time, or after the first start under installation from a real password) that I did discover to overcome my difficulties in ArcPup. if user created at installations time, he doesn't need some password (and can do 'su' or 'sudo' without password ; 'root' does also co exist with password 'root' or other password). if created after first start, it become a full linux with full password control! what can be more flexible? a great among of applications in the 44 MB Iso of the "rolling version" (the stable version stay on ab. 30 MB Iso but is 1 year old, really old...), a really full support with an absolutely transparent organisation: www.slitaz.org, forum.slitaz.org, mirror.slitaz.org, doc.slitaz.org in a lot of languages, an automatic versions control in the doc between language versions (a real dream for not English spoken Puppy users ), a full repository with all packages from slitaz and from users, and sources for all the stuff since version 1.0 and an old as well as a full actualized new Slitaz scratch book! this are really heavy high standards for a little troupe! the installations system is an best specimen of the art using the browser as frontend (Slitaz panel with abilities to install new packages)! it is possible to bind the main partition as /home/ and create at installations time in that /home/ the user dir /home/tux properly so that you can reinstall without difficulty and changes in the main partition other as in /home/tux and never have to mount it extra! extraordinary performances from the smallest linux distro : half of ArchPup, quarter of other actual Puppy's. There is no icecat or libre kernel but my own copy of icecat works properly in it. Please, look at it to develop ArchPup as modern with an equivalent high logical organization!
