I don't know of any change between 1.1 and 1.2rc that would affect booting.Sylvander wrote:The latest retro version 1.2rc will not boot on either of my two PC's, when the previous retro version 1.1 booted fine on both.
Please provide more details.
if your not going to boot to desktop, minimal questions are preferable.BarryK wrote:The dialog window states that almost all Windows installations use localtime, also it states if in doubt choose localtime.

I think it's a too technical a question to ask.
Before the discussion on the issue, recently, I wasn't aware of this difference either.
OK then.BarryK wrote:This is deliberate. I only need to know if it causes any trouble.Béèm wrote:strange times of files in tmp after boot.
The red rectangle in the picture indicates the boot time.
Strangely enough, there are files which have a time 21 hours before the boot time.
How does this come?
Fortunately, important files like bootxxx.log seem to be correct.
Unfortunately the question has to be asked, for those who have their hardware clock set to UTC. For them, they will have the wrong time if localtime is assumed -- they would then have to run the X app to fix it. So, if we can let those few who set their clock to UTC be inconvenienced, then I guess we can drop the question.aarf wrote:if your not going to boot to desktop, minimal questions are preferable.BarryK wrote:The dialog window states that almost all Windows installations use localtime, also it states if in doubt choose localtime.

set default to localtime and alter it after desktop is reached if necessary.
my preference is also for get rid of that question.
Q1.2rc doesn't have the latest Adobe Flash player, so I'm wondering if the latest player will improve things ...would you mind downloading and trying it?Béèm wrote:strange jerky video in youtube (boot with pfix=ram)
I have now 1GB of RAM.
I noticed jerky video when playing from youtube owl city fireflies At that moment the temperature got high and warnings are issued. The laptop is very slow then.
I looked at some other video's and I didn't see that issue, until I played Beyonce Sweat Dreams (Official Music Video) + Lyrics where I had he same issue.
I was aware of the xf86-video-ati-6.13.0-q1 package and installed it and restarted X.
It didn't improve the issue. These two video's were still jerky.
Then I had the idea to replace, in xorg.conf, the radeon driver by the vesa driver, restarted X and did the tests again.
This time the video's played ok, but the laptop still runs hot.
Even when typing this, the fan is going often to cool the laptop.
So I don't know if this jerky video issue is a bug or not, but I wanted to report and also that vesa seems to make the video's run better.
Don't know what the effect of vesa is on my Ati mobility Radeon 7500 controller in comparison with the radeon driver.
The file length of stripped /bin/e3 is 208 bytes. I don't think e3 is such a trivial program that its file length is just 208 bytes. Therefore, I suspect that /usr/bin/strip cuts off too many bytes.BarryK wrote:We know this.

By the way, strip of Puppy 4.3.1 has the same problem.

That doesn't seem to matter. As a followup to my previous post, I updatedBarryK wrote: Q1.2rc doesn't have the latest Adobe Flash player, so I'm wondering if the latest player will improve things ...would you mind downloading and trying it?

to 10.0.45.2...same issue.
4.4 has 10.0.32.18 installed, without issue. I updated it to 10.0.45.2 and it still worked smoothly.
Here's the video I tested, although all others had the same problem.
