Pmusic and streamripper

I've been using Pmusic, with streamripper. I think both are available on the forum. Then run the dependency check from the Pmusic Help menu. That combination can browse and connect to numerous streams, categorized by genre.

Hope that helps,

Hi all, Just wanted to check in and say hello. Very nice to see the new games and apps being made available and the insightful discussion of Pet vs. SFS. Like Q5sys I installed Slackware64 14.0 on another Linux partition today. I'm experimenting with a newer kernel, glibc 2.15, udev-182 and some cor...

Radeon Xpress 200M

gcmartin, OK, I dug into the hardinfo report I missed earlier. It seems to indicate Radeon Xpress 200M. That card is not supported by the proprietary ATI Linux driver. Best bet is to un install the ATI_Catalyst-11.8-k3.0.3-L64 via PPM (if installed previously,) reboot, exit to console, type xorgwiza...

ATI drivers

gcmartin, Maybe I missed it in a earlier post, but I need to know what brand and model designation display card you are installing the ATI driver on. (Menu -> System -> Report Video, and paste the output here please.) Did you confirm that it is on the supported list ? If not, and it is a Radeon card...

Q5sys, I'm using 2 monitors with my Radeon HD 3200 at 1920x1080. In Catalyst I can select either one big desktop spread across both (3840x1080) or clone displays or disable one or the other. If a display is off when X starts, just restart X to bring it back in. There are also two types of Multi-disp...

Display drivers in LH64

I would like to thank Q5sys in advance for working on the nVidia drivers because I do not have an nVidia box to test with. Installing a proprietary driver through Lighthouse Update normally does not require using Xorgwizard. (More on that below.) Just install and follow the prompts. First I would ru...

Minor point - The home html that OOTB in browser does not point to Barry's new blog. Don't know if this needs changing. Yes, I will change for the next release.

Hi Jim, Bibletime is on my list. Haven't been able to reproduce Firefox freeze here, maybe related to display driver? Is that on an NVIDIA or Intel box? Try installing 4-KDE-4.6.5-x86_64-F.sfs, Gvfs-1.8.1-x86_64 with BootManager and reboot if you haven't already. Won't work with SFS_load-on-the-fly ...
