Many problems using, remastering Puppy 4.3.1
Latest Puppies
As Mentioned up front, I need the Video Driver from the older kernel so newer puppies don't really work
Ran it from Terminal, Error Loading Shared Libraries
libdbus-1.so.3
Where do I get this?
just found libdbus-1.so.3.4.0
added it to /usr/lib
then did this in Terminal
ln -sf ./libdbus-1.so.3.4.0 ./libdbus-1.so.3
That fixed it

What video driver do you need (for which video hardware)? A package might be available for a more recent version of Puppy (compiled against a newer kernel).
Actually, I would have recommended installing a complete dbus package - never know when something might need more than just that one lib.

Re: Latest Puppies
Did you try the new ones ? Which driver does work and which doesnt ? New kernel should work too. You mean video drivers, this has nothing to do with kernel.Kogije wrote:As Mentioned up front, I need the Video Driver from the older kernel so newer puppies don't really work
Yes
I tried a few newer Puppy releases
Anything after 5.11 wont install
5.11 needed a Video Driver so could not play video faster than 1 frame per second
4.3.1 had the driver --> NVIDIA-71.86.11-k2.6.30.5-1.pet
which was built for K2.6.30.5 and lower
it is not available after that and does not work in 5.11

It might be that the K6 CPU is the problem here. These precompiled firefoxes need a feature that K6 doesn't have, but K7 has .Same problem as with 19.0.2
Illegal Instruction
The browser than needs to be recompiled for that special architecture. Navigate somewhere on the mozilla ftp site to find the folder with sources and compile it. Probably seamonkey version-2 would be of interest . Firefox source is some 70mb - as large as the kernel - and kernels take 2 hours to compile on a recent 2GHz machine. And I don't think that the latest versions are so big because the programmers have added code to backport it to support P-I and similar.
And the common nv driver worked for me, dunno why you or your brother need on that old gear something special.
Really , you managed to gain kernel source, devx and compile the nvidia driver and are not capable to extract a simple .tar.* ??
Looks that you need some very old Puppy like 4.0 to run on that machine.
Racy 5.5
Racy 5.5 will not install, Kernel Panic during boot
Also
Anything higher than K2.6.30.5 does not have a working Video Driver
the Video Driver I need that works for Puppy is NVIDIA-71.86.11-k2.6.30.5-1
Note the k2.6.30.5 on it, that means it was built for Kernel 2.6.30.5
Anything after that Kernel will not run the Video Driver
If I install it on a later Kernel it just doesn't boot X unless it is in Vesa Mode
or using Dummy driver
Later Drivers do not support the Video Card (Nvidia Riva TNT 2)
and I need to use a working Driver for it.

Puppy is new to me, I'm more familiar with programing than I am with programs.
Terminal commands are also a bit different than what I'm use to (from Ubuntu and Lucid Puppy 5.11) in this version of Puppy (4.3.1)
This install is almost fixed up where I want it
Firefox 5.02b is a bit slower than the newer versions but as long as I don't update it, it works.
I also got Flash working in it!
I'm thinking what I need to do is either disable the update or update Firefox to something a bit newer that recognizes the system limits.
From what I understand, some of the Newer Builds of Firefox wont run on Puppy 4.3.1 because of the older Kernel.
I think this may be the case with Firefox 16.0 and 19.0.2.
Apparently I need to stay below Firefox 8 in order to keep Flash Working.

Re: Yes
Racy 5.5 has the 3.0.66 Linux kernel.
There is a NVIDIA pet for it :

Nvidia pet
that pet doesn't include the driver I need

this lists all the Nvidia pets for Puppy and what cards they support.

Re: Nvidia pet
I see, so what are the remaining problems now ?
I get a error during startup while loading kernel modules
udevd-event
unable to create db link
/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fvirtual\x2fmisc\x2ffuse
Stale NFS file
the problem may be from /tmp/bootcnt.txt ... That's not it
Im also getting another device error like that for the Printer (which I haven't connected one yet.)
The Volume Control Icon is Missing
I would like to get the Icon back.
Note: The Volume Control is running, its just the Icon is missing.
I think it's an issue with JWM
and I would like to get Firefox updated to 7.X (anything below
and maybe disable updates on it
or just forget updating it and disable the updates for it
and I'm not sure how to mount a .cue file with a .iso (it's mixed media and won't mount as just an ISO without the .cue)
That's about it

- Volume icon is launched from /root/Startup/retrovol_tray
- Firefox, this one is for precise, maybe it works for you ? http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... 686-up.pet

Re: Firefox
- for firefox I dont know, I use the seamonkey found originally
- For volume icon, Try from menu->shutdown->restart jwm

WINE
WINE seems to be missing /lib/libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.7)
Fixed the missing libraries
still need to fix WINE up to run stuff
Now WINE has problems
Failed to connect to the mount manager.
No Audio device connected
just ran another pfix=purge and Puppy crashed
Kernel Panic
Time to try LighthousePup-4.43-Gu2.iso
if this doesn't Work then I'm switching to Ubuntu

Re: WINE
It appears the WINE package you installed was compiled in a newer puppy with glibc 2.7.Kogije wrote:WINE seems to be missing /lib/libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.7)
