Something was wromg with the PET package. I started over and the ASUS now plays videos. The SFS also works. I notice that gtk-youtube-viewer takes much longer to start playing than the non-GUI youtube-viewer. On another 2006 laptop it takes over 2 min to start playing. While loading gtk-youtube-view...

Touchpad and keyboard are completely unusable as soon as I boot. so I cannot even test without X. This did not fix the youtube-viewer problem.

ASUS netbook EEEPC 10 inch also did not run Precise Light.
Tahr works on both of these. Wary works except for fbcon.

Using the same package and script as on other laptops. the U5F will not run youtube-viewer. I tried with Precise571-retro Precise-571-light (kernel 3.14.56) and Tahr 6.05. The laptop keyboard keys have English and traditional Chinesecharacters. In Precise Light (kernel 3.14.56) the touchpad and keyb...

Today youtube-viewer can no longer find any videos. 403 Forbidden. Error occurred on URL: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=...... Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt.......... I confirmed this on four laptops all with Precise 5.7.1-light kernel 3.14.56 noPAE. I had it working fo...

To eliminate captions, change 1 to 0 in youtube-viewer.conf. I unpackaged the PET with tar -zxvf and found the config file at: /mnt/home/yt-viewer.....pkg/cde-root/root/.config/youtube-viewer.conf and gtk-youtube-viewer.conf Sometimes when using the command-line version I can no longer see anything ...

Quirky 1.42 with 2011 kernel 2.6.32.28 plays youtube videos with the youtube-viewer PET 3.7.4 at 360p, or at higher resolution with audio and video out of sync and 93% CPU usage, on a 2006 HP dv6000. Pale Moon 28.9.1 (and other 28's) needs libdbus-glib-1-so.2, libdbus-1-so.3, liblgpllibs.so and libm...

No additional libraries or other files are needed to view videos with the 87MB-download BABY quirky 1.42 with kernel 2.6.32.28 from 2011 (older kernel than Precise 5.7.1 light or Tahr 6.05 noPAE). More libraries are needed for recent browsers (Pale Moon 28.9.1 or Firefox68 ESR). 93% CPU is used at 4...

I took a quick look at Quirky7 and I think it is aimed at newer computers than mine. Quirky 6 (2014) may be a better option, with kernel 3.16. Newer than all my hardware. Precise has so far worked with all my laptops 2003-2010 (I prefer the 2003-6 for their matte and non-wide screens) except for two...

Tahr works on this laptop but SNS and Frisbee did not. Youtube-viewer at 720p was out of sync, with 90% CPU. Precise SNS worked and Youtube was in sync at 720p with 80% CPU. Lupu 2016 also works but not with recent browsers. Palemoon 5.7.1 works. 5.7.2 does not - e3pi segfaults (I know there is a re...

What file do I edit to turn off captions in youtube-viewer?
The latest PET works perfectly in Tahr 6.05 on a 2003 Thinkpad T41.
(Wifi works with Network Wizard only).

Kernel 3.14.56 connects to router (frisbee, wifi) but touchpad freezes.
Kernel 4.1 and 4.4 have no ethernet or wifi.

Tahr 6.05 works, with wifi and youtube-viewer. I will use it for Youtube.
HP mini 110 sound is very faint - maybe that is why it was given to us.

I had forgotten to make an ext2 partition after shrinking Win7. Racy and Wary flash drives have bad boot sectors, but Tahr 6.05 booted (3.14.56 kernel). It reminded me to use gparted to make the ext2 partition. (Precise just froze up.) SNS found the wifi card but could not connect. Frisbee connected...

I have no way to reinstall Windows 7 except the non-genuine version and I already turned off automatic updates. Windows is working properly. No reason to reinstall. It is just absurdly slow. I will try EasyBCD to dual boot Windows and Precise-Light. My notes say that Precise-Light has similar proble...

2008 (2009?) HP Mini 110 netbook with 1.6GHz CPU, 160GB SATA drive, and 1GB maximum recognizable memory. Came with working Win7 but unusably slow (takes 5-10 sec to load a program or respond to typing a URL). I disabled all the antivirus and everything possible from startup and downloaded oldest Ccl...

Thanks for the link. I see that the youtube-viewer straw-viewer does not require any keys.
Has anyone packaged it for puppy linux? Slackware has it. I don't need it.

The SFS works perfectly, GUI version. I did not check the PET as GUI. I run yt-viewer from a terminal instead of the GUI, by typing the following two lines (or making a script yt4) For the SFS: cd /usr/local/gtk-youtube-viewer /youtube-viewer.cde --res=480p For the PET cd to where you unpacked it in...

How do I update the youtube-dl in (gtk)-youtube-viewer? The old one from two weeks ago cannot find URLs. I found a deb for the Jan 24 2020 version but need ar to unpack it. Precise puppy has no ar. I installed binutils - still no ar. I could compile my own busybox with it. Uextract expects it. I tri...

What are the benefits of using the newer WoofCE? The forum discussion is about Precise for 'older hardware'. I am having problems with 5.7.2 even on a 2009 laptop where 5.7.1 and Tahr both work. My 'older' hardware is 2001-2003, and my newer 2006-7 or even 2009. I suspect Racy used the same newer Wo...

HP dv2 2009 The latest 5.7.2 will not start X automatically - on boot 'starting X' then about 10 seconds later it ends up at a vt. I type xinit or xwin to start X. SNS finds no interfaces, peasy claims to connect to eth0 but does not. b43 (how do I know which exact version?) Brother MFC7820N printer...

HP dv2 and dv5000, brother all-in-one MFC7820N which refused to print with Racy 5.5 (updated) and just said Sleep. It does the same with Precise 5.7.2, but prints perfectly with 5.7.1. lpr -P MFC7820N filename does nothing. Same as in Racy. I copied over precisesave and it 'updated' to 5.7.2. (At so...
