Is your graphics card getting fat and lazy because nothing really challenges it? Well, Really Slick Screensavers will give it a workout! Xorg_High is not enough (at least on my machine)--RSS requires Nvidia or ATI Catalyst graphics.

Install the pet and then go to /usr/lib/xscreensavers and click each one--then maximize to full screen. Hyperspace is my all time favorite.

Using the same Seamonkey versions that will do it in earlier luci
and wary releases.
with flash 10.2 it no longer loads videos to the /tmp directory - you have to look in your browser /tmp folder or use lsof to search for open flash files
Naaah;

I just upgraded to the earlier Flash; works fine.

Hi,

I have two saved files under /mnt/home/luci:
lucisave-work.3fs
lucisave-home.3fs

I was using lucisave-work and increased 256m saved space before I rebooted the machine. When the machine rebooted, I selected lucisave-home.3fs and it increased the selected saved file and not the one that I marked to increase.

Thanks

i installed the ReallySlickScreensavers pet and did not work as installed

the contents went to /usr/lib/xscreensaver
my xscreensaver program (5.12) is looking for these to be in
/usr/libexec/xscreensaver
moved the 18 items there and they work with a little more tweaking

in /root/.xscreensaver the 18 entries need to be entered as follows:
go to bottom list where screensavers are shown and add these:
BE SURE THAT YOU START SCREENSAVER NAME IN COL 20
PLACE \n\ in same approximate area as other entries alreay there

GL: biof -root \n\
GL: busyspheres -root \n\
GL: colorfire -root \n\
GL: cyclone -root \n\
GL: euphoria -root \n\
GL: feedback -root \n\
GL: fieldlines -root \n\
GL: flocks -root \n\
GL: flux -root \n\
GL: helios -root \n\
GL: hufo_tunnel -root \n\
GL: hyperspace -root \n\
GL: lattice -root \n\
GL: lorenz -root \n\
GL: plasma -root \n\
GL: solarwinds -root \n\
GL: spirographx -root \n\
GL: sundancer2 -root \n\

after i made the entries above, all work when i click on ssconfig and view them individually or set one as my screensaver. I do not use random screensaver . if tries to use one that is not installed created problems for me, therefore, i set to only one screen saver and change to another when i get tired of it

hope this helps

That is normal operation.
When you select resize personnel storage file, it puts a command in place to resize storage file at next boot. It does not know or expect more than 1 save file. It looks for what save file is being used, at next startup, and resizes that file.

That's an old pecularity. When call up Menu-Utility-Resize... it will resize any next pupsave file you are booting to. Even one from an entirely different Puppy. Like the messed up desktop icons after adding or changing a sfs.... it's something to be aware of and to avoid or circumvent.

Hahaha, okay bigpup, you beat me to it...

Sorry. I didn't set them up for that. I am glad majorfoo described the solution. I enjoy them but I think it is ironic they are called screensavers because they work the cpu and gpu more than any other programs in Puppy (or any other linux)! They will heat up your graphics chip.

are you saying that the ones you provided in ReallSlickScreensavers work the cpu and gpu more than any other programs or Xsceensaver progam in general

I checked htop and xsceensaver (sherman's aquarium) in preview mode and found that cpu usage was below 5%

Yes, definitely, although I guess I should have said the gpu, rather than including the cpu also. I have observed it in watching temperatures. They are doing a lot of heavy math to get the patterns. I am not saying they are dangerous or anything.

Frugal install Luci 254 on USB flash drive formated ext4.

I do not think this is a Luci issue, but I thought I would post just in case.
I just booted up from being shut off overnight.
Got to starting X and got all kinds of error messages about Rox pinboard and openbox. Too many to remember. Basically a blank desktop, no icons, or normal desktop.
Had Grub4dos boot menu and it had made a
1. normal boot entry
2. entry to boot pfix=ram
Used the pfix=ram entry and got to normal desktop for a fresh initial start. That entry gave me a very good emergency boot option.
Looked in /root/.config/roxfiler of the save file on the flash drive.
Compared it to what was in the roxfiler directory I was now using. A lot of stuff missing from the Roxfiler directory in the save file. copied over missing files and got Rox working ok.
Tried the same thing for Openbox, but not sure what needed to be corrected.
Did a new install on flash drive to get back to working Luci 254.
Not sure what caused this except,
"You must be smarter than the equipment you are operating".

modem & "protect" updates ready for testing on Luci

#558 Post by rerwin »

playdayz,
I have uploaded a corrected version of the modem and protected-modprobe package, after improving compatiblity with Luci 254 at: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 074#431074
Please have some users try it out. To use it, though, be sure to reboot immediately after installing it.

The major changes over the past month or so are: (1) the upgrading of the usb_modeswitching to the latest (1.1.7) version and its replacement of my alternative wrapper script by the official script, with only a small puppy front end; and (2) the conversion of the modprobe.conf to several config files in /etc/modprobe.d, particularly puppy.conf. The config-file conversion impacted the alsa support, so please verify that your sound still works (mine does).

Although the package installs all of the modem firmware packages, they are now equipped to stay quiet if their driver modules are not installed. Previously, attempted loading of non-existent modules would result in a module-loading timeout. Please report any timeouts that would appear in /tmp/pup_event_backend_modprobe_protect.log, because they should not occur.

Thank you, all who can test this.
Richard

Nice vid Ivansampa :)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


cfischer69 reported a bug with a save to partition frugal install (pupmode = 6, also affecting pupmode = 7 ) that an sfs wouldn't download from quickpet. I can confirm the bug and the attachment should fix it.

The attachment also has code detecting shinobar's sfs_load. If you have sfs_load installed then it will automagically be loaded in a frugal install (pupmodes 6,7,12,13). It does not depend on sfs_load because sfs_load is still classed as experimental.
Cheers!
