Ultraviolet for over an hour and a half using Firefox 4.0b3. Excellent performance.

Purely for testing purposes, I've been running Youtube videos in Luci-219 on the old P3 (about half the time in fullscreen) for about 20 minutes. According to Htop ram usage has been pretty constant at about 112 mb w/ no swap being used.

Ultraviolet was pretty jerky but Youtube vids are nice and smooth.

EDIT: Been watching Youtube videos for over an hour....ram usage finally got up to 123 mb ......... everything seems fairly constant.

Only in Puppy Linux you can help development by watching great movies . . . Cool

I could not watch Ultraviolet with Hula

midori browser is working nicely the third bootup !

14 tabs opened !

no crash until now - had few crashes by hitting the tap-close[x]-button and one while opening a tab. But midori restarts nicely again -
so no statement of formal accusation against midori from my personal point of view !

watched the same YouTube vid again : but default size 320x240 : video played until the end of 30 minutes now Smile

I`m having 2 HD with one swap partition each (no extended or LV swap on sda5 f.e.)

transferring data to swap is noisy like the creak and squeak of an aged frigate Very Happy

. But I like it (MWDMA2 16.7)

Don't you guys think, we should be talking about Firefox 3.6.8 and include Firefox 3.6.8 in Puppy 5.1.1 instead of Firefox 3.6.6 ?

Sad

I was able to watch 30 minutes of continuous Flash (normally would crash after 15 minutes) . . .

So it could be my ISP surreptitiously throttling my streaming
Would they do such a thing . . .
Not sure.
The thing is I was able to watch OK in Ubuntu Lucid . . . so not that . . .

The only thing I have changed is the sound card I am using - so maybe an IRQ conflict?

- Just too many variables
I would go ahead and release - everyone seems to be enjoying watching vids

Sorry for all the fuss Embarassed

luci-219:

resized personal storage file +128mb and installed Iron Browser .

It's the same as Google Chrome ?

Also tried to install Iron on 4.3 but it needs /lib/libc-2.7 +

4.3 has lib.2.6 ; I copied lucy libc-2.11.1 to 4.3 and changed the link libc.so.6 to point to it :

CPU went 100 % immediately, typing top in console gave Segmentation Fault Smile

The rendering at the code-boxes here at the forum is as bad as at mozilla and chrome.

I think I'll stay with midori and opera ! Very Happy

Playing heavily with luci219. I succeeded to use pulseaudio to stream audio wirelessly through Apple Airport Express to my living room stereos in Ubuntu Lucid. Anykind of audio from netstreams to cd from any audio app. Better than in Windows where you can use itunes only for streaming.

So I decided to test what is situation in Luci219. Well ...all the pulseaudio stuff was relative easy. About 20-30 packages and some missing libs. But then...

Access is through user pulseaudio. I added most multiuser puppy stuff and got user pulseaudio, but there was missing a lot of other users and groups.

pulseaudio --help and I got pulseaudio to start as root at last. But then came access denied generated by dbus. I think there should be some pulseaudio-xxx user with right permissions to do something.

That was it. At least I was able to install all needed apps. Now it would need hacking the pulseaudio and my abilities are too low.

still Midori :

I`m getting closer to it's crashes :

Copy'n'paste from terminal or other browsers doesn't work as easy as it is at other browsers like Iron I`m typing in right now.

pasting by middle mouse click doesn't work .

so I need to paste urxvt output to geany first, select it, choose copy and paste it to midori.

Now I right clicked a link at Iron and have chosen Copy Link Address.

It was possible to paste the link address to midori at Post a Replay directly from Iron without using geany in between

but navigating with the direction keys to complete the '[ url = ]' tags led to complete freezing of midori ( cpu > 90 % ) ..

I killed midori from console and started it up again.

I really would think that this is somewhere in the settings or a small bug.
