You will get better advice from people who actually know how to do this, but have you tried Bootflash?
Oh yeah, have you gotten any Puppy to work this way? Solacko?

Yes, the same symptom: "Missing operating system"
Just to confirm (in case I am doing something wrong...), I did the following:
Boot from LupuPlus, accept all defaults at first run screen. Insert 8Gb usb stick (Lexar). Gparted usb stick with one Fat32 partition (no swap). Set boot and lba flags. Use universal installer to copy files to stick. Shutdown. Remove CD drive. Attempt boot to usb stick. Flashing LED on stick but "Missing operating system" message.

gnome-mplayer default |

Removing .mplayer , means 'vo=auto' as the default is better i suppose. I know 'auto' is not always safe but can be managed.

In 5.2.8 (unlike earlier versions) gnome-mplayer video is set to xv by default because that works best with DVD menus, but it might be worthwhile to change to x11. It also might be worthwhile to install Xorg_High or a proprietary video driver--and then change video to gl or gl2 as I recall.

Maybe it was Sulu? |
|
I had referred to my recollection of having attempted to run "Three-Headed-Dog" on my Thinkpad.
Playdaz queried "Mikeslr. Do you mean Sulu--that was pae enabled because I used Barry's 3.0.25 kernel. I don't plan to pursue sulu at all-- it was an experiment. But there has been no change to the 3HD kernel."
Yes, you're probably right. It was about the time I was exploring Sulu that I tried to install something on the Thinkpad.

otropogo,
Video/audio sync problems.
In Gnome Mplayer
Try adjusting any settings that deal with cache higher. Keep in mind that higher settings will cause it to not play until the cache fills up.
Mplayer tab-
Enable cache
play around with cache setting.
Start with a low cache setting like 100 and adjust up. This is fine tuning. (too much cache can cause problems)
player tab-
Audio output: I would make ALSA.
Video output: Maybe try XV (this should effect quality)
Need to do changes one at a time then test.
If no change, you can leave it or change back.
If these are video files that play on line OK they are probably good. However, a video file can be badly made and have bad video/audio sync.
Other media players to use.
VLC media player would be a good one to try.

Anyone having partition table problems? |
|
As I am not certain to which Puppy, or even to any Puppy, the problems I've experienced pertain, I discussed them in detail in the User's thread.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=624726#624726
This is just to call attention to that discussion.
Thanks,

several times myself and other members have told you about your behavior. maybe that was all noise as you say which you ignored or didn't read.
"If, as playdayz advised me, that was not what Shinobar meant (and which I accepted in good grace) then the fault lies in the wording of Shinobar's latest post, not with me. "
the fault did not lie in the wording of Shinobar's post.
the fault lies with you not understanding the message was for Playdayz who it was addressed.
that is the reason you did not understand the post and then tell Shinobar no and ague your point only further shows rudeness and lack of understanding.
to suggest blaming him now, and your defensive attitude flambating now doubt you will get this either.
when members mention your attitude suggest you pay attention. you obviously didn't the first time so not going to waste space here on this forum going back now.
your denial of abusive behavior and poor attitude is betrayed by your history as known by us who know you.
not going to reply to more of your posts but confidently be reassured will do so when your abuse returns.

I'm sorry, but I would rather do without your backhanded applause spiced with vague slanderous nonsense.
There has be never been any "verbal abuse" by posted by me in the forum, or indeed, anywhere on the WEB, EVER.
I suspect that you are indulging in reckless misuse of language, but if not, please document the instances of this "characteristic verbal abuse".
If, as it seems, you use this term to refer to any sort of criticism, no matter how appropriate, then I think that you are the one who needs to learn to curb your tongue.
But speaking of abuse, I would suggest that your tedious, pompous, and ill-informed attempts to teach me netiquette are themselves an egregious abuse of this thread, which is dedicated to technical discussions. As many people have pointed out to me (but very few have practiced) there is a personal messaging channel available for this purpose.

Where are these videos download too?
Have you tried all the available media players?
Buffer and cache settings, in media players, can have an effect. |
The videos are all saved to the system's internal hard drive, and there are no other cpu-intensive processes running to explain the problem.
I haven't tried any other media players yet, only the default Gnome Mplayer. Looking in the Start/multimedia dropdown list, or the "open with" list, I see no obvious replacements.
The Gnome Player's settings are at their defaults:
PLAYER tab
video out : X11
audio out: default
audio channels to output: stereo
enable AC3/DTS pass-through :unchecked
default volume level:20
on screen display level: no display
post-processing level:no processing
MPLAYER tab
all boxes checked except "enable mplayer cache"
mplayer executable: (none)
extra options to Mplayer: (blank)
I haven't tried reconfiguring. Do you have any suggestions?
