I am using gxine 0.5.9 that you put in Lucid-Puppy-5.0. It works fine here. I know the later ones seem to cause some problems that's why Barry stuck with this version I believe. Another idea might be to setup the media players like you have done with the choice of browsers. The only problem with this is it will create problems for people with slow or no internet connections. If you don't have an internet connection then a browser is not important but a media player is a must.


It's too late to do that this time--but I think placing it in PPM would be close to as good. You are using it in 5.00 I assume. I tried this afternoon to use gxine, xine-lib, and mplayer_codecs_full put I had some problems. Could you try to extract them from 5.00 that will work in 5.07. I will try again too. Thanks. There is obviously more needed than just gxine, xine-libs, and mplayer_codecs_basic. Only mpg video will play both video and audio--other video formats only play audio. mp3 audio plays but not flac.

1. Is there any way of getting a current list of the problems that have not been resolved yet, in the same place? so nothing gets missed between versions and to save having to trawl back through this post?

2. Could a checklist or rota be set up to make sure all applications have been tested fully (including pets) to ensure the best release version possible? instead of for example 47 people testing Gplayer and nobody testing 1 of the graphics programs and a possible problem slipping through.


This are good ideas Stripe. We are getting to the point where we could do that kind of organization. That's how it should be done and now we have the foundation to work from, imho. Not for 5.1 unfortunately, but for 5.2/5.5--01micko is rearing to get his hands on those Maverick binaries Wink No joke, when you see the start of the next cycle please remind me. Thanks.

I made countrywizard-0.1 and calling for testing.
Changing keyboard settings with this wizard, you need not have to fall back to console anymore.

I imagine this is buried somewhere in the 92 pages of threads ... but just want to report that the old problem of overlapping text and graphics when scrolling in Seamonkey is still there:

Quote:
VGA compatible controller : Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device
Display controller : Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated


Otherwise everything else I have tried so far seems rock-solid.

technosaurus uses(d) googlecode. He did this for 4.4 but it didn't catch on too well as far as I know, that doesn't mean to say it wasn't a good idea. I think it was a great idea, just we are all so used to this forum that change is slow.

Of course there are the usual advantages/disadvantages, I won't go through them because the point of this post is not to discuss the idea but make aware that we can put some sort of system in place.

hehe.. Maverick . m-m-m (to steal a Lobster phrase) ... yes! But not for a month for me. You wont see me for a little while after 5.1 is released .. (I'll be around just not prominent Wink )

Cheers

01micko and playdayz, I have just spent the day setting up lupu-507 on a friends machine. All worked pretty well except the sound volume is very low. I had tried all the normal things like alsamixer and retrovol and turned everything up full blast, still not very loud though. When I booted windows the sounds was very loud. Any ideas. HP Pavilion a1220a.

The other issue. When I placed a sfs file, picasa in this case at /mnt/home and rebooted, some of the icons returned to their original position. I think it was the screen lock, bin and zip. I had moved them to make way for Pwidgets. Not a big deal as the next boot I think they stayed put. It only seems to happen after a sfs file is added or removed via boot manager.

I'm a little confused about Gxine. The one I am using in lupu-5.0 is the one that came with 5.0. Are you saying you are having problems with it? I will see if I can find a copy and try it in lupu-507.

PostPosted: Mon 02 Aug 2010, 06:09    Post subject: minor little thing with Glipper  
507 frugal, after restarting, the glipper tray icon doesn't show although glipper is actually running and there is an empty space where the icon should be. Restarting x server puts it back in the tray.

As I said, minor, but 1st post says test everything, so... Smile

I get low sound but not in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (so it is not the Ubuntu binaries)

I seem to remember that Barry did set the sound very low
and there was a reason . . .

I often have to set my woofer to max to get acceptable sound
Somewhere in the boot up there is a way of just
upping a number in a config file . . .
Maybe someone will remember . . .

This is the normal operation for all pups using ROX. To compensate, make a backup of root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin (ie copy PuppyPin to PuppyPinBak) and after your reboot, delete PuppyPin and copy PuppyPinBak back to PuppyPin, then restartX, which will quickly restore your desktop to it's desired appearance.

Yes, I've been meaning to swat that one for awhile.. should be relatively simple, (however there is one caveat, unpluggin/plugging dongles/cards between boots), it can wait, but not forever Wink

PostPosted: Mon 02 Aug 2010, 10:11    Post subject: Bibletime-2.7.2  
I used a clean frugal installation of 507 with Edit-SFS to edit tazoc's Bibletime-2.7.2a.sfs to add the libs that I posted earlier for 506. The resulting Bibletime_lucid-2.7a.sfs works great. All that's necessary is to add the missing libs already posted. Menus and icons are correct.

Cheers,
Jim

tubeguy, more info about saving to a partition. It works with a hard drive if and only if you install the frugal files to / instead of in a folder such as puppy510. That would be good for development I think. It worked for me anyway.

------------------------------------------------------
In lupu-508, we should test the sound level.

This might help.

Yes smokey, I used the pets gxine, xine-lib, and mplayer_codecs_basic that were installed in Lucid Pup 5.0, and installed them in 507 and the resulting gxine runs but it does not play everything it should--in fact it only plays a few things,. It plays mpg video and mp3 audio and maybe some others but not most video and not flac audio. There must be something else that is in 5.0, well duh, but I don't have time to chase it down right now. If you did then I would put it into PPM in time for the release of 5.1. Thanks.

I remember that when we made the shift from gxine and installed a pet of mplayer to test, someone reported that it made gxine not work as well anymore. But I would like to have it for PPM for sure if it could be compatible. We have a few days.

Hi all

Problem with sound icon (volume control) disapearing from taskbar and a loss of sound in icewm after a reboot, will reinstall with alsa sound card wizard (from the set up menu) but after a reboot in icewm it disapears again, but if rebooted into jvm the icon stays and I still have sound.
