Puppy 4.12 upgrade issues

[afropup]

Hi there,

I'm a puppy fan, and loving the distro, except for the sound issues which I haven't managed to solve. This is my first time on this forum, so bare with me. Anyway, I recently upgraded to 4.12 hoping that the sound issues would have been resolved, but no deal. I find the new version less stable for the following reasons:

1. The mount device is no longer working

2. Seamonkey crashes quite often, especially when certain pages are called up.

3. Gxine is getting weird.

The new version is in a seperate pup folder. However, my old pup no longer works. I tried reinstalling the old 4.0 but it refused to do anything, and I can't seem to get the video up. So I guess its either delete the entire pup folder completely or stick with the 4.12 and try to solve the issues. Any advice from fellow puppy owners?

1. The mount device is no longer working

What about hotplug (which automounts)
I think you can turn on and off
Is 'mut' (type from console) still available?

2. Seamonkey crashes quite often, especially when certain pages are called up.

Yep - I suggest upgrading to Flash 10 Beta - which seems more stable

3. Gxine is getting weird.

Use mplayer

hope that helps

There were a lot of changes between 4.00 and 4.12. Do you have a frugal install? Did you try to upgrade your pup_save file along the way? You may be better off deleting it and starting from scratch.
