The ehci stuff is interesting to me because most people are using USB DACs with Linux, but the same settings may be radically different for a use case like jrling with USB attached storage. The other kernel parameters are of interest, but I agree with Dynobot that there needs to be some method to th...

I think it's ok to keep the tweaks in this thread. I'm not sure which ones don't apply. As you noted swappiness shouldn't matter. /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure probably doesn't matter either as it sounds like it's also related to swap files. /sys/module/ehci_hcd/* - quite possibly relevant, more i...

@boulogne75, thanks for the extra info - I'll see about implementing this for the next version. @jrling, I just saw that thread on all those tweaks - lots of good stuff there to add to the wizard. Can you point out documentation for any of these items that weren't previously discussed? I'd like to b...

Apologies for the delayed replies. @luisb, handling USB drives in that manner is on my to-do list, it's just quite a ways down - I'll get there eventually. @ boulogne75, thanks for downloading and trying things out. If you have more documentation on how to store the CIFS user/pass in a credential fi...

@luisb, nrpacks is something I'm aware of, working on some fixes for the not too distant future. I haven't looked into trying to support multiple drives through some sort of symlinking. To be honest I've just never considered it a particularly ideal design and hoped users could get a larger hard dis...

Is there a way to choose between Secret Rabbit Code and SOX for upsampling (like in Cmp2, where some preferred SRC due to a more "analogue" sound)? There's no way to do this through the setup wizards, but if you want to test Secret Rabbit Code it's just a matter of hand-editing mpd.conf t...

Keep the ideas coming, happy to hear them. Regarding auto-updating, this is something I've thought about quite a bit. It's pretty straightforward to build ad-hoc updates for packages/bug fixes for a particular release - and it's probably something I'll do in the relatively near future. Full-on upgra...

Considering past notions about CPU power usage, it appears that a reduced CPU power is best. Or it may be best to just leave well enough alone, this may take some testing and confirmation. What I would do once implemented is add this into the 'tweaks' section of the wizard so that a user could choo...

@Dynobot, will swappiness matter if there is no swap file? I intentionally configured the iso so it doesn't create a swapfile. Thanks for the extra info - I'll bet taskset is also part of util-linux, so I'll add that when I add chrt. @johnnyc, you can ignore the fsck when you power it down by holdin...

Just wanted to say great job with this... Some suggestions you might consider -cpufreq - change from ondemand to performance -somehow be able to unbind devices from sharing the same interrupt -increasing the priority of the audio threads -if at all possible give MPD a CPU core to itself via affinit...

Hi Idolse and thank you very much for this hint. I just trying to get it on. I'm so glad, it works! I waited half a year for this solution!!! Next step is to try this installation procedure with mpdpup 0.9.1. Since 0.9.2 I have problems with ACPI. After pressing the power button, nothing happens. I...

Hi JohnnyC, what I meant was once you booted off the Unetbootin stick you can then use that live Puppy Linux/mpdPup instance to install to the SSD drive. I added instructions to the second post of this thread. Other users have gotten it working following these basic instructions, but I'm not sure if...

@jrling, 176/192Khz doesn't work automatically with some sound cards, it's some low level ALSA issue that I haven't gotten to the bottom of. Simplest fix in most cases is to unplug the sound device and re-plug it in - this only needs to be done once each time you boot the system. For whatever reason...

Hi jonnyc, Unetbootin doesn't work with internal drives, it only works with USB drives. Just install to a USB stick as per the instructions in the first post. Once you've booted off the USB stick you can use the Puppy Linux installers to install to the internal drive. I've written some other posts o...

Hi Douwe01nl, glad to hear it's working well for you and you found it improved - I think I have to chalk up the audio improvements to MPD itself though, as the core OS is the same. That and using your settings as recommended - so many people confirmed your settings it was a no brainer to use them, y...

Don't worry, you weren't rushing me, just figured I could give a status update while replying. I think that dialog always highlights mpd16 regardless of the actual configuration - after you select mpd17 and exit the wizard type 'mpd --version' at the CLI - I'll bet it's been updated. Good feedback t...

It gets quiet sometimes - it's to be expected. I've got a few more bug fixes in the works, might get them out later this week if I have enough time to get the QA done. I think I found the reason none of my other attempts to unmute the WaveIO worked - spaces in device name. No guarantees though, as I...

I set up the Mpdpup v0.9.3 for using local, NFTS stored Music files (Wav, Flac etc) but get the abovementioned Error (regardless of trying to play Wav or Flac-files) What 'abovementioned' error are you referring to? If mpc listall is working then then I would guess it's a soundcard issue. If you at...

Hi wlowes, I'm sad to hear that I still haven't completely conquered the WaveIO mute - I'll follow up with you by PM to troubleshoot a bit. Regarding the tweaks - I think you probably accidentally selected the wrong menu item. The default 'recommended' setting is highlighted, to select custom to get...

Bonjour/Zeroconf is done for the puplet I was working on - mpdPup - I don't believe any of the core Puppy team leveraged that for other versions of Puppy. I've built my binaries using a Debian Squeeze based dPup, not sure if they'd be compatible with other Puppy variants. The pet package is on the f...
