No broadcom wireless

Had to use old usb 8192cu

That got me on the net !

PPM didnt update when tried to reconfig

glxgears all good didnt have to use any kernel parameters for 1915 driver

Booted strait to desktop with first run pref. offered

really looks nice ! I am far cry from a developer 666philb but

I really think wouldnt take much to get this sweet puppy flying right

Well done my friend !

Wish the right eyes would take some interest in it sure would be sweet

Please keep up your work

I will continue testing !

Rebuild the kernel inside tahr puppy. The problem is a gcc mismatch and is exactly what I did with the first Lucid pup; just recompiled a quirky kernel with the exact same .config. Use kernel-kit from woof-CE. Then you won't have troubles building modules. You could probably even bump to the latest 3.10.x kernel with minimal trouble (or not, no guarantees )



As for cups, use BK's wary package. It's older but reliable. It's version 1.4.8 IIRC.

Thanks for your hard work.

Hi 666philb



Looking good - frugal install booted AOK on my HP550 laptop with Intel graphics.



Frisbee and Broadcom WL established wifi no problems.



Did I test of dir2pet - seemed to work OK (although I didn't actually install the resulting pet) - what problems were you seeing?



01micko seems to have pointed the way to making this work perfectly - you may want to make your thread subject a bit more upbeat and positive to attract more testers....



I'd be happy to compile the wl driver for you for a different kernel if you can make the devx and kernel source sfs available.



Cheers & congrats on progress so far

Your tahrpup working fine here! (See pic.) No problem at all creating the pupsave file.



One may deplore the inclusion of the older abiword 2.8.6, but that's about it on the

negative side.



Except, if I may say so, the wallpapers offered are definitely ugly! But it's very easy

to beautify your tahrpup:

I'll still be on the look-out for the problems you mentioned in your first post, but as far

as I can tell: very good work, 666philb! Congratulations!

new iso,kernel-src & devx posted still some problems but seems a saner build



01micko i followed your advise and rebuit the kernel in tahr puppy, still neither the wl driver or amd will compile. The nvidia driver compiles fine and now doesn't kill sound and internet after rebooting which is good.

i installed the cups you suggested and cups now gets further however won't recognize my printer even after installing the hp drivers.



could other people see if printing works for them.



billtoo ... firefox works for me from the repo's ... qupzilla need libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 will include it eventually



peebee... i still can't get the wl driver to compile hopefully you'll have more luck! .... but i noticed an odd thing, my netbook uses the wl driver and i was testing the new iso before i remastered it... and it showed a wlan interface and got online using the 'brcmsmac' driver. This loaded automatically before remastering, but didn't after. and loading it manually caused some odd effects... must conflict with something. still nice to know it works instead of wl.



and about the topic title... someone altered it after i posted!



ally .. perhaps you should wait on archiving them until they work properly

As for broadcom wl, peebee has put the offer out there; take it.



Good luck! AMD driver is a real bitch. I haven't done it in awhile but take a look at https://github.com/kolasa for patches. Also, if you search the Dpup-385 thread (pemasu) I did write an automated script to patch the AMD driver from the kolasa git repo and build a pet. It will be somewhat dated now.As for broadcom wl, peebee has put the offer out there; take it.Good luck!

video-info-glx 1.5.3 Sat 31 May 2014 on TahrPup 5.8.0.7 Linux 3.12.2 i686



I installed kdegames,firefox,lxterminal,qupzilla, and others from PPM.

Firefox gives an error when it's started,kdegames isn't working giving

an error about dbus as well.

Dillo is working fine.



The jwm config is missing, resize savefile isn't working, and getflash

is missing.



I think this will be a great pup once you do any fixes that are

needed, many of the latest applications are available in PPM.

# ldd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so|grep -iE not

libglamor.so.0 => not found



So libglamor is missing hampering radeon xorg driver. That's ok because modesetting driver works ok for unaccelerated. I notice vesa wasn't offered either, I didn't check for it's existence.



Sound and net work ootb for me on my main box.(dual core athlon X2, radeon 3000 onboard, 4GB RAM)



More as time permits.



LATER......



I did a quick and dirty remaster after cracking open libglamor0_0.6.0-0ubuntu4_i386.deb and moving /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/{libglamor.so.0,libglamor.so.0.0.0} into /usr/lib in the root of the unsquashed main sfs and resquashed. Booted the thing and got straight to desktop

Shows ati driver loaded which is fine.. somwhere they switched those over the past couple of years. I think radeon just supports older (or is it newer?) cards now.
