Hi guys, I am trying to edit a video file, retrieved from my PVR, with projectx.(0.90.4.00 30.03.2006) The gui is obtuse to say the least and although I have figured how to set a cut point, I just cant figure out how to select the bit I want to keep, or delete the bit (which is the over-run to the n...

Thanks for that Gary. I believe that projectx can be used for remuxing but I cant find any help or howto's for it. If anyone knows of a good set of instructions for project x, that would be great, or if not, could anyone walk me through the process of remuxing with it? I cant make any sense of the g...

Hi Gary, I am currently transferring stuff off my thompson dvr 40 gb hdd. It comes off as either a .pes or as two files, m2v and mp2. I have been struggling with re-muxing to mpeg2 for days now. Thanks to your post, I now have projectx running but I can't make head or tail of it :roll: . I tried rem...

Thanks David, I also noticed the dingo alpha I tried had both cores running, forget which one it was now, but there were other issues which made it un-usable on my lappy. It did run my bcmxxx wireless card out of the box though, with a signal strength of 95% (!!!) when I usually only manage 55-60% w...

Hi Guys, I havnt seen any news recently on smp kernels. Is it still proposed to have one for puppy 3.xx or will I have to wait for dingo?

Cheers, Mike

Hi Kirk, I had ezpup installed on 3.00 before I installed gslapt. I still use it. I'm not in puppy now but I think I had to run it from terminal as no menu entry. Re installed it and menu entry was there. Apart from that, I think its working ok.

Hi Kirk, thanks for the KDE package. It seems to be going well so far and is unbelievably fast
Will give it a good try out this week.
Mike

msumner, As far a KDE goes, I'm working on a package right now. I've got KDE & K3b packgage that's less than 50MB (compressed). Still need to work out some kinks. Probably possible to make a puppy iso at about 100mb with kde & k3b, would have to drop Seamonkey package, but KDE has Konqueror...

Thanks kirk, I reinstalled gslapt and it has now appeared in the menu. Starting kde, I get: Could not start kstartupconfig Check your installation. Googling this revealed people with problems related to /user/home directories. As my flash install puppy 3 does not have a home directory, I am a bit st...

Yes, if we can get some folks with high-speed connections to play with it, we'll get it worked out. Hi kirk, I intend to do a fair bit of downloading to try kde and some kde apps. I have gslapt working but have to run from the terminal. No entry in menu. Also I have to update each time as when it o...

My Dell 6400 is very similar to the vostro and works well. 3945 Wifi is fine, it works better in linux than in windoze. Mine has integrated video so dont know about the nvidia card. Would be interested to know, as I may upgrade, but I fancy the AMD version and would really be swayed if it came witho...

Hi Everitt, I only just noticed this thread. I have fancied trying out something like this with a selection of old scrappers. I find people giving me some quite decent boxes, the latest two have 850 and 950 mhz durons with 384 and 512 mb ram. I would love to try puppy on these!

I have a 19" lcd Envision flat screen and no matter what I have done it will not run at the 1440x900 it is designed to I only get 1024x768 which has to distort things. I can't even get 1280x1024.Scott 8) If the video card is the only thing stopping you, it would be worth picking up a different...

somebody let me know if they ever get linux working. Scott :x Scott, Have you tried PClinuxOS? This has worked very well for me on both my main 'puters, a newish dell lappy and an oldish athlon box. Everything works except my ancient scanner, and I will probably get a new one or an all in one that ...

Lobster, I tried that in pc world and was told it was against company policy......... Chris, I have been running puppy since 2.13 on my Dell inspiron 6400. Although it only runs on one CPU core, it is way faster than windows xp using both cores. I adopted puppy because at the time, it was the only d...

I am always searching for new Apps that may find their way into the next version of TEENpup. Were possible I will try and use the lastest version of Puppy as a base for TEENpup. Hi John, the new puppy kernel would enhance TEENpup. I now have a working internal card reader, for my SD cards anyway. (...

No, I just checked, and it is still odin.

I dont like KDE at all, and will be sticking with openbox, but to run digikam, it appears to need the dcopserver thing working.

E17 has been recently mentioned here:

Dont know if you will be able to glean any more info from these guys.

Have you tested the ram? I had two 128mb ram sticks that deteriorated over time until the machine stopped working. It was always when working with jpegs that I really noticed the problem.
Installing a cheap video card and/or extra ram might also help, rather than getting a new machine.

I'm not qualified to answer that, but if anyone else is interested, everything you need to know should be at http://www.suspend2.net/
