@Jasonbc - Good to see ethernet is working. The tests above will give us info needed. OR you could just try this driver (at own risk): https://www.mediafire.com/file/axjuoixz50sq85j/wl-64-updt-k6.0.12-FP-F96CE-4skip.pet/file After download, click on .pet in filemanager & wait about 5 sec after ...

@Jasonbc - re-wifi, would you please run the following tests in a full-screen terminal to see if anything's missing: lspci -nn | grep etwork (that starts with a lowercase L & has pipe symbol in middle, which is often shift plus \ key) Am looking in particular for [9x9x:9x9x] format code at end ...

@Jasonbc It looks like the eth0 device is up and running!

Can you check the ethernet CAT5 cable between the computer and the router/switch?

Does the router/switch connection status LED light up?

also , the wifi still doesn't show up..

@Jasonbc It looks like the eth0 device is up and running! Can you check the ethernet CAT5 cable between the computer and the router/switch? Does the router/switch connection status LED light up? i've checked that several times , i've see a few "blinks" of status lights a few times , but still no ...

Jasonbc

so the devices are being seen and identified. That must mean a driver is loaded. Can you please post the result of: # dmesg | grep eth0 since i have no way to login to the forum on that machine , I can only type out the results here, but it says : atl1c: eth0 NIC link is up>100 Mbps full duplex ...

Please understand something.

Fossa 64 is not telling us anything useful about what exact version of Puppy Linux you are using.
Yes it matter

Sorry about that, i downloaded from here. https://f96.puppylinux.com/
That's what's installed..

Jasonbc

@Jasonbc The ethernet device, what is it's name (i.e. eth0)? i tried a live boot of noble puppy , ethernet works there , it's the ENP5S0 module., so how do i get that loaded in fossa?? or in a terminal: ifconfig -a or: ip address On occasion I have seen some systems balk connecting to a network ...

Jasonbc

I've tried - 1. to load the suggested broadcom hardware pet file. It does not seem to exist currently. I definitely did not use it to get the wifi card working on the live DVD. 2. to transfer the most recent save file from the working live DVD to the frugal folder on the hard drive. Does not seem ...

Jasonbc

I can't get puppy online At ALL . This makes no sense , the ethernet port shows up in the network config , but i have nothing - and the the wifi transceiver doesn't show up at all. but yet i can press the wifi button on the laptop and turn on/off the transceiver .. also I do have activity lights on ...

Jasonbc

Wait I think I found it , but the selection of games is garbage...

@Jasonbc

You have to take the games where it says SteamOS + Linux

On the Steam application???

Jasonbc

NOT a Puppy related question... I just installed Steam on my main machine and after jumping through hoops to recover my password , I got logged in.. Okay that's good , so I start browsing around and find a few games to try out , but They don't work???? error - wrong platform something , These are ...

Here's a bit of a question, Is there a stripped down version (current) of puppy that i could install??? something that Will run Boinc , but doesn't have all the un-needed stuff?

BUMP it's been a few days since i posted this.. No-one knows???

Jasonbc

@Jasonbc :- The other main thing is that Erik is very much here, very much 'hands-on' and keeps on top of issues. We're all immensely grateful to JM for providing the old forum for all those years, but he was definitely an "absentee landlord", and often didn't show up for months, sometimes years at ...

You can still login on the oldforum (Murga Forum) using your original credentials. No posting but the Private Message system works.

Yeah I wondered about that , but I can't remember my password .

Jasonbc

I have this on my 32 bit server that runs puppy 4.1
It still runs but projects seem to be few and far between
circa 2008

boinc-6.2.15.tar.gz

You're running boinc???

Jasonbc

I have the system installed fine , full install , not "frugal" @Jasonbc :- I'm sure it's not what you want to hear, but that ↑↑ right there ↑↑ is more than likely the issue here. The "frugal" install is equivalent to a 'full' install in every way. Almost everything packaged and/or developed for Pupp ...

Jasonbc

@Jasonbc Please, can you give more information? I need to know about your hardware, whether you are trying to install from Windows or Linux. it's an old gateway solo pro 9300 laptop. just trying to give it something responsible to do , other than sit in the closet. I need to know the application ...

Jasonbc

Is this what you are trying to install? Boinc https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php Yes. This is the NoblePup32 you are using? The latest version? (24.04-240717) https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11371 If yes to all my questions. to the best of my knowledge, yes that sounds right ...

Jasonbc

Boinc or anything else for that matter... Nothing .. packages download and it looks like it's installing , but then " ERROR Depends not met" . I'm running Noblepup 32 .

any suggestions?

Jasonbc

it"s been a while. , I was a member on the old puppy forums for several years. You may remember me , "Jason.b.c" . Just recently I thought to myself, " i wonder if my old account is still there ?" (Murgalinux) , so.. I went and looked , The forum is archived and John Murga passed away??? WOW... I ...
