Not good news at all.

I have just tried your .sfs and got a new error.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvb://'. Check the log for details.
It is missing 'TV (digital)' from Capture Devices.

It seems that some tuners work as 'PVR' but not mine.

Tried pemasu's latest .pet, same error as earlier.

Did you install libdvbpsi7. If not then the error message is due to that. I can confirm that dvb works with Billtoo`s vlc compile. Use PPM and install libdvbpsi7.

I am so very sorry to read of your current dilemma Old yeller! :cry: What terrible luck indeed! And after all you do for us around here for the Puppy Community at large - and then to have this disaster happen. I wish I were not in such dire financial straits myself as I'd love nothing more than to help you out of your situation.

Unfortunately all I'm able to do at this time is to wish you the very best of luck and hope for the best. When one is on rock-bottom Oldyeller there is no where else to go but up, eh? :(

Best of luck my friend,

Thank you. I remember I read a post about doing a frugal install without burning a iso is I can find it again than I can test my builds before posting.

Is there a version of QT we are going to stick with, so that all apps can be compiled against the same QT?

Thanks to everyone that has worked on this, I am off to start compiling now.

Not sure how the CPU Frequency Scalling tool works. Does anyone have anyidea what is wrong so can get it fixed

I would go for the longterm, How is it working in precise? if it is stable I could put it in the build instead of the pae kernel.

what are your thoughts or anybody else can put in on this subject.



How is Geany working for everyone it is doing good for me

Seems stable so far.....but I didn't get it compiled till almost 3 am so not a lot of testing.... :) Or sleep.... :lol:

Code: Select all

Compiled	 : #1 SMP Tue Aug 14 02:50:26 CDT 2012 
Since Ubuntu Precise is using the 3.2 kernel that's the way I'm leaning though.

that sounds good to me let me know when you think it would be good to put into a build.

... I could put it in the build instead of the pae kernel. ...
I'm not a distro developer. But, just a couple of notes that might help understanding.

PAE has been around since 1995. It is NOT anything new, nor is it known to have any negative impact on its use when the h/w support is built-in.

There are ONLY a handful of PCs that were built without PAE. These were vendor attempts to limit the growth and use of their PCs; thereby rendering the owner(s) to buy new should you had stopped using their Windows. This was NOT widespread as the mass-majority of all 32bit PCs came with PAE built-into the processor.

In 2006 the Industry took off on the Microsoft model and began building PCs which were capable of being physically expanded beyond 4GB of RAM.

Today, 4-6-8GB configs are sold in stores everywhere. Further geeks have expanded their older PCs to typically more that 4GB around the world.

PAE, says (in so many words) "if you have a PC, I, PAE, will insure the 32bit PAE enabled OS sees it no matter how much RAM you have in your PC."

This is why you have seen Mageia-PUP, and Precise-PUP, RACY, Slacko, and others implement PAE distros.

One more IMPORTANT (at least to me) bit of trivia. Some of the distro developers of last 2 years have been indicated a PC platform spec that they have designed their distros to work on. They have all indicated that their distros "might" work on PCs of lessor means, but, they are at least providing a recommendation (probably because those are the PC they built and tested on). You may want to let us know what platforms you are targeting your Precise toward.

PAE is really a good thing as we do NOT have to change anything in Puppy OS not matter how much RAM we add as our system grows. Other implementations stop between 3.5-4GB because the distro developers do not want you to use more than that.

Hope this makes clear what PAE is and what we were able to find out through testing in this Puppy community.

Here to help

Me again.
Reporting that UMPlayer by Scabz works well with TV, and it even gives me 3 channels that VLC won't play, neither will my home TV. Amazing. And I am using the same channels.conf as VLC. Go figure. It makes no sense.

I would love to be able to record these channels, but MPlayer only records U-Tube, as far as I can tell.

Are there any other TV-playing-and-recording programs available to Puppy users?

I'm sure the Puppy users with over 4 Gb of ram really appreciate the above presentation.Those Puppy users whose hardware simply won't boot with a PAE kernel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension maybe not so much. :)
Not a big deal to me personally so I'll just once again quote Linus Torvalds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds who actually created the Linux kernel.
PAE really really sucks.
and
....... PAE was a total and utter disaster.

I already have Precise built with k-3.3.6 anyway so I don't really have an agenda to promote.Just wanted both sides presented.

I have used VLC only. There is also recording scripts created for vlc by forum member DC.
