@mistfire I downloaded the sfs since I'm curious how the Unifont looks and especially how it compares to DejaVu Sans. Except for Asian scripts DejaVu Sans already supports all major non-Latin scripts.

Strangely on my system Unifont doesn't look like a truetyp font at all, more like a bitmap font:

Upon searching unifont was bitmap font. Any ideas what non-bitmap font that can also view CJK characters?

@mistfire
I've made a manual frugal install of QuickPup 20.06.6. I booted up, made some setup changes, including wifi, and made a save folder. When I rebooted every thing worked as expected except wifi which did not connect automatically. I right clicked the tray wifi icon and my ssid appeared. On clicking this my wifi connected and stayed connected for the session. I have tried this a number of times and get the same result. I would have expected it to autoconnect. Am I doing something wrong? Also I can report that mikewalsh's portable version of Palemoon (v29.0.1) works on QuickPup as does Iron portable giving other browser options, which can be kept updated, on this 32bit pup.

Regards,

Ken.

For wifi autoconnection. Look at this thread. I already posted on how to enable autoconnect for nm-applet

Thanks for the link. I followed the instructions and wifi is now autoconnecting at boot up.

To anyone

Before I setup to test in a QEMU-KVM, I ask, is SAMBA built-in?

step · Post by **step** » Tue Mar 02, 2021 10:45 pm

Yes and no. I just started a qemu vm and opened the file manager. There is a browser network function but it can't find any samba shares on the LAN. So, I conclude that samba browsing isn't functional. Can it still connect to a samba share, if you know the share's address? I think so. Type smb://10.0.2.4/qemu in file manager's navigation bar and a password entry dialog pops up. Enter no password, press OK for an anonymous login and... success! The host's filesystem opens. That 10.0.2.4 is the qemu builtin share. What about a real share on a real network node? This works: 1) start samba service on the host (I use fatdog); 2) type smb://10.0.2.2 in the guest's file manager's navigation bar... success! It shows fatdog's shares. Click a share, answer the password prompt, anonymous login, all working. Final test: can it connect to a samba share that isn't on the host? I don't know. I tried connecting to my home router's share but it didn't work. I didn't investigate why.

Edit: I also didn't test whether QuickPup can share its folders as a samba server but I see that @mistfire has already addressed this point in the post below.

Yes it is, QuickPup has samba.

To manage samba, go to Applications>Simple File Sharing Setup or go to Applications>gadmin-samba.

To share a folder on samba. Just right click the folder on file manager then select SHARE THIS FOLDER

Hi,

Just curious, do you plan to add combability for the Kohjinsha PM UMPC? You had asked if it would work on a device of mine a short while ago in another thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2082

Thanks

Actually the minimum ram required for QuickPup was 1Gb. However, I made some revisions on initrd in order to work at low ram for at least 512Mb. You can try the latest QuickPup on Kohjinsha UMPC. In case of hang, just swap the kernel and zdrv file to older one (don't forget to rename the zdrv file to zdrv_quickpup_20.06.sfs)

Hi mistfire,

i did a quick test of your latest quickpup_20.6.11. Frugal install on usb stick/FAT32/g4dos. Booted well - but no eth0-autoconnect.
Tray says "networkmanager is not running". I tried SNS and network wizard, but no success. Then I used frisbee and restarted DHCP --> eth0 connected.

I created a savefolder - connection is not saved.

Hello

Could you please run again QuickPup without save file loaded on your computer?

If nm-applet-tray shows that NetworkManager is not running, then run these command on terminal

Code: Select all

#networkdisconnect
#network_default_connect

Then post the output terminal here on this forum.

Hi Mistfire,

thank you for your reply.

Pristine boot, here's the output from terminal:

Code: Select all

# networkdisconnect
Stopping NetworkManager: stopped
# 
# network_default_connect
route: SIOCADDRT: File exists
Starting NetworkManager daemon:  /usr/sbin/NetworkManager

@one

That's weird it threw bus error on your computer. Try to boot QuickPup in pristine boot then do this again on terminal.

Code: Select all

#networkdisconnect
#network_default_connect

Now this time upload the /var/log/messages file here on this thread. And also run this command on terminal

Code: Select all

#dmesg

Then post the output terminal here.

Thanks

Hi mistfire,

According to the logs you sent to me. The SFS modules of QuickPup was corrupted. Did you check if the checksum of the QuickPup that you downloaded was matched with the given checksum?

one · Post by **one** » Sat Mar 27, 2021 3:49 pm

Hi mistfire,

you're right!

Holy moly, I would have sworn that I "always" check my downloads - but obviously not in this case (I kept my install_iso and could check it). So I downloaded 20.06.11 again, did a new frugal install and problem solved - eth0 connected automatic.

I saw the SQUASHFS errors but sheepish assumed the fault on your side.
Thank you and sorry for stealing your time!

peace

Hi,

I have not tried QuickPup again yet, but before I do, are there touchscreen drivers?

Thanks

Touchscreen on my Dell laptop is functioning correctly when using quickpup. Currently using latest v11.

Tested latest 20.06.11, same as last test of QuickPup in this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2082 - it gets to "Setting up services (network" then nothing happens.

Try to swap kernel and zdrv file using older kernel files from other puppies. Don't forget to rename the donor zdrv as zdrv_quickpup_20.06.sfs
