Well the postscript is that I got it working with the more compatible Tp-Link Nano USB TL-WN725N... which works fine especially with my smartphone hotspot. My Modem router wireless signal is weak and due for an upgrade which may have been a contributing factor.

The module for the new TPlink is ...

steeve,

Your onboard device [8086:06f0] requires a kernel version of no less than 5.7.

As for your dongle, it's far easier to buy hardware that conforms to software rather than the other way around. MicroCenter and Amazon carry several compatible dongles for Puppy @ no more than $15 dollars US ...

steeve

Looking into getting the firmware as per bigpup link:

the first step detecting the interface:

root# lspci -nn | grep etwork
00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:06f0]

so Linux isn't even 'seeing' the plugged in usb wifi dongle.
Let's see again if we can use the ...

@ThruHammer - I've made & uploaded a .pet from your source. The source file was under the driver subfolder. Is quite different from my previous efforts & seems specific to steeve's adaptor.
@steeve - .pet apparently matching your adaptor's source is here (use at own risk): https://www.mediafire ...

steeve

@steeve - I guess none of the .pets worked? Sometimes, although I haven't seen it recently, modules need to be blacklisted as they interfere with other drivers. The output of lsmod, with the dongle plugged in
would be interesting.

Thank you very much for your help. MS only wished they had that ...

@steeve - you are missing a bluetooth firmware file, but for your network adaptor, we need its ID code.

With the usb wireless adaptor plugged in, need to run (in a terminal): lsusb

The Realtek wireless network device will have an ID code, something similar to this: 0bda:8179

That code will tell ...

steeve

we need to get the right source, so please run the following commands in a terminal & post results:

lsusb | grep etwork

and then

dmesg | grep irmware

Im on my phone (since by laptop isn't connecting) so I typed in the results

There is a read me file README.txt in the folder:

When I removed the delta file (my moving them to a folder I made called 'old') the pop ups continued. I put the delta files back , pop ups still happen when I boot up.

steeve

Nope, that package 'xdg-utils' is not installed.

steeve

Not sure what I'm supposed to do : I moved the delta files into a separate folder 'old' but the pop ups still appear. What I should know is what are the delta files really doing? what are they for?

NOw the odd thing is the recursive folders within autostart:

root# ls /root/Startup/autostart ...

steeve

Right after I boot up it actually presents me with 9 pop-ups successively with desktop files labelled as 'old' to change to 'new' (not sure why) to generate a new file (?)

just have a look at the file names I copy pasted here below:

/root/.config/autostart/clipit-startup.desktop
/root/.config ...

steeve

bump: still no answer on this.. I counted the xdelta pop ups nine times after every boot..

steeve

Well turns out that apt needs to have sources set up,. the good news is that PKG is installed and ready on my BionicPupppy 64. So I will use that instead. thnx

steeve

I've been using Ubuntu for years on a vps. I recently put PuppyLinux Bionic 64 on a usb key for doing web development programming projects. Im more familiar with cli so I installed apt package with missing deps (libapt-pkg.so.5.0). Now is there issues to foresee if I start installing new packages ...

steeve

Ok that's great you are around. Because I'm tooling up Puppy with apps like Tmux now and eventually other programmer related utilities and apps. (Jupyter notebook , Anaconda maybe and/or other goodies).

Puppy should have all this stuff pre installed.

EDIT: maybe a cool puppy project is a web ...

I solved this problem by adding this line to my .bashrc file (after reading about set/unset and env variables )

I removed NVM completely and re installed it using wget as shown in the nvm github page

This script adds config info in the .bashrc , now whenever I open a terminal :

I have got a usb key persistent bionicpup64 8.0- wroks great very fast. But to my surprise I had to install VIM!! in many years of using Linux distros I have never had to install vim ..it normally should be a built in package.

Then I had to install node npm and nvm ..basic staples of web ...

steeve

At boot up when get to the desktop stage, I keep getting a Xdelta difference manager popup menu , why do I see this menu, how do I make it go away?

The desktop runs fine otherwise in my USB persistent BionicPup64
