Thanks Grant, I will add xvidcap to the pet repo. Screencaster stays because it is just a small script utilising a tool already in the base Fatdog (=ffmpeg).
I might have a look at that script because it doesn't work very well. The created video is very jerky and I don't think there was sound either.

I have a bit of code here that may do a better job.

Thanks
Thanks Grant. Looking forward to your update 8)

Your xvidcap is now in the pet repo, thank you.

James I had a look at your script and it is very good, it just doesn't work for me, with or without a save file. I haven't worked out why yet.

Here is a script that does work for me, excellent video and sound quality. Only one problem, sound and video gets out of sync.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:0 -f x11grab -s `xdpyinfo | grep -i dimensions: | sed 's/[^0-9]*pixels.*(.*).*//' | sed 's/[^0-9x]*//'` -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq smokey.mp4
I also noticed you are using a pretty old ffmpeg. Here is a link to the latest source.
http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-0.11.1.tar.bz2

Thanks

screen capture by ffconvert-1.3

#84 Post by shinobar »

ffconvert-1.3 takes screen capture with no problem on Fatdog64-600b1.

But you need to choose proper destination directory.

Try '-isync' as the advanced option.

You are a champion shinobar, it now works perfectly at 25fps.

This is the command from a terminal:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:0 -isync -f x11grab -s `xdpyinfo | grep -i dimensions: | sed 's/[^0-9]*pixels.*(.*).*//' | sed 's/[^0-9x]*//'` -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq smokey.mp4

Hope it is okay to ask this very naive question.
Ooops seems to be Lupu that is the "culprit"
sorry. I will write in their thread instead.

old now deprecated text.

I am in Lupu 528 now and have set time to CET Central European Time
with Summer displacement so it show the right time.

But after doing a frugal install of FatDog it changed to plus 2 hour extra
so instead of 14.10 it show 16.10 in the old Lupu when I boot into that one
again.

I tried to set up local time in same way on FadDog as I do in Lupu. 14.10

What could have went wrong? On Lupu I have ticked the BIOS Hardware
time should take priority.

Why would that make FatDog shutdown displacing time two hours plus?
I will now reboot from Lupu into Fatdog again and see what happens there
if it shows 14 or 16 so I get back and
Edit from FD. I shows 14.30 so I will boot into Lupu again.
Edit from Lupu. This time it is plus 2 hours without having touched anything
on neither Lupu not on FatDog. So just the fact that I rebooted and chose
Fatdog change the time in BIOS with two hours???

Or what is going on Please a mystery to be solved or a Noob to bash for bad acting :)
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Firefox 13 does not work

#87 Post by Jim1911 »

Fresh installation on Dell Inspiron laptop.

Installed Firefox 13 using Fatdog Package Manager. It does not work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times from different mirrors. Same results. Executing code firefox-spot results in # firefox-spot
sh: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: No such file or directory Likewise for firefox.

I cannot locate a firefox directory anywhere.

Installation changes Seamonkey icon to Firefox icon, however it opens Seamonkey.

I had a similar problem with my desktop computer installation and attributed that to a bad download. However, I think there is more to it since I get same results from both ibiblio and nluug. It may be better to create a pet from something other than the nightly build.

Otherwise, everything checked on the laptop is working great.

Thanks Shinobar, I will look at this and possibly include it to the main ISO.

Jim, the screenshot you take shows that the firefox binaries are not installed at all. I just tested it again; the firefox pet is working.

The one that is possibly not working for you is petget installer. If you don't mind, please try this:
1. Edit the file /usr/sbin/silent_petget
2. Goto line 86
3. Near the end of the line, when you see "cpio -p $INSTALL_ROOT", change that to "cpio -up $INSTALL_ROOT"
4. Then try to install firefox again.
Let me know.

cheers!

Hadn't gotten around to reporting it but the same thing happened here.
The Firefox directory is located at /usr/lib64/firefox-13.0/ ..... I just changed the exec line in the desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ to run FF as root.

Download was actually fine but FF wouldn't launch. Editing the desktop file worked here.

Fatdog always uses localtime for the BIOS clock. Other puppies offer possibilities to use either localtime or UTC time in the BIOS clock. To make sure the time stays the same between Lupu and Fatdog, choose "localtime" in Lupu.
This is a design decision - Windows-based machines uses localtime for BIOS clock, so Fatdog uses localtime too to ensure that switching to/from Windows will not accidentally change the time. Of course, by using localtime in BIOS clock, we lose that automatic daylight savings time, but that is an advantage because automatic DST settings doesn't always work :)

New 32bit libs based on Slacko 5.3.3 is available now.
Get it from here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... g/sfs/600/ or one of the mirrors listed in the first page.

rcrsn51 has kindly tested and confirms that it works with 32-bit printer drivers as well.

cheers!

They move fast don't they :lol: ffmpeg was the latest when kirk compiled it back in Feb (kirk took it from git master - the latest development branch). I'll leave the decision to kirk quite a lot depends on ffmpeg, updating ffmpeg means rebuilding a lot of stuff.

jamesbond thanks for the advice on pclock and how to set up time for Puppy.
You are right now that you remind me I do remember I read that advice some
months ago. Sorry for having pooooor memory .

Does that mean one can have a 32-bit version of FatDog that is 100%
compatible with every 32-bit pet? I am so dense.

Re Firefox and the edit. Good to know. I don't want to loose bookmarks
either and I am more used to FF and FatDog already being more than
128MB why can it not be FireFox from scratch and SM as something
the SM luvrs add because them being enthusiastic about it.
I mean if 99% love FireFox then why force all those to have two browsers

*Friendly Smile*
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Just compiled FFmpeg-0.11.1 and rebuilt vlc and kino (though it seems to be compatible). It will be in the next release.

Does that mean one can have a 32-bit version of FatDog that is 100%
compatible with every 32-bit pet?
No, but with most. Especially ones for Slacko 5.3.3. I almost never need to use 32bit packages, except for proprietary stuff that's only released 32bit.

I mean if 99% love FireFox then why force all those to have two browsers
For the final release there will be a Seamonkey iso and a Firefox iso.
