Play Fullscreen

ROX-right-click 'Play Fullscreen' does not support vlc.
Replace the script /usr/local/apps/mplayer/AppRun to

Yet another new version (9.0.4) of pAVrecord uploaded.

#263 Post by mcewanw »

Yet another new version (9.0.4) of pAVrecord uploaded. Hopefully fixes the vlc/avconv related bug drawn to my attention by user Saborima who was testing previous version in tahrpup. It only effected machines using avconv (which would hang on record) rather than ffmpeg as it turns out. Download:

This pAVrecord 9.0.4 one may work correctly in tahrpup but needs comprehensive testing by tahrpup users.

Thanks for this puppy! It works very well on my multicore PC. Had some issues with other puppies but this one is excellent. I like how it looks and it is puppy fast.
I have been a Puppy user for years but it is usually temporary to fix a crash or while trying out other major distro' s. Having the Ubuntu repository and at the same time the speed and fun of puppy might keep me here for a bit longer ;)
Great job.

some additional comments (not sure if this is tahrPup specific) :

- I really like the artwork used. Clean and consistent.
- exit screen looks great
- quickpet, nice :) useful for new (Linux or Puppy) users
- Getflash install FlashPlayer - that was easy
- Firewall configuration was easy and I like the green shield in the taskbar


Sorry, no issues to report yet ;)

[edit : added the firewall comment]

Tahr-5.8.3

#268 Post by sszindian »

Testing into some of the off-wall stuff:

Installed from the PPM xscreensaver... it seems all the standard screensavers in it work as they should with the exception of the GL things (Carousel, Slideshow) Anyway the Carousel works BUT No Pictures display. We had this problem in Slacko's but 'SFR' came up with a fix there so Carousel works -

Code: (In Terminal)- su spot -c xscreensaver-demo - but this doesn't work in Tahrpup/

I've installed all the programs available for xscreensaver from the PPM so nothing is missing from there.

Any suggestions?

So far, Tahrpup is working well and no serious problems encountered to date... Your update stuff through quickpet is very nice, wish all developers would go that route!

Tried to install NFS common from the Puppy Package Manager. Examine dependencies leads to a lot of dependency misses. After that I chose to download + install the package + dependencies and then an error message appears:
Error: packages are not available
iproute2-2.6.29-1-w5pet module-init-tools-3.16-w5c.pet
the installation has been aborted.

Any idea how to solve this? Used to Debian/Ubuntu and then usually everything is automatically downloaded and installed.

BTW... I did update the repository - that didn't work. It keeps on asking me to install the downloads local. And when I do it seems to do nothing (nothing is saved)

Needed DEVs missing in the devx_tahr-583.sfs.
I am not sure on the libxcb-xvmc0_1.10 runtime package mystery.

Code: Select all

libxcb-composite0-dev_1.10
libxcb-xv0-dev_1.10
libxcb-xvmc0_1.10
libxcb-xvmc0-dev_1.10
configure options:
# ./configure --host=i586-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-x --disable-qt --disable-lua --enable-run-as-root

I made a wrapper script to make 'disable-screensaver' effective.
hi shinobar,

i know it would save a lot of megabytes removing QT but it's at the expense of a hobbled vlc and i think tahrpup should have a fully functional & easy to use media player, either vlc or mplayer. previous pups have had gnome-mplayer but i and i expect a lot of others always ended up installing vlc as it's has less problems.
so i think the full vlc should stay. also a lot of the packages in quickpet require QT

will your disable screensaver wrapper work with the full vlc?

fixed right click play full-screen thanks
updated sfs_load thanks

update quickpet first then tahrpup bug fixes

cheers

Thanks a lot! That fixed it indeed. Nice updating / fixing method btw. You have created a very user friendly Puppy.

Had some issues with NFS itself, apparently NFS was updated so my usual mount command didn't work anymore.
mount -F -o nolock,soft,nosuid,intr mypc:/share /mnt/home/NFS seems to work though.

for the AMD driver, since the kernel is ubuntu-compatible, can't we just use the regular package?

hi eadmaster,

the amd driver is being a problem and i can't get it to compile with these newer kernels yet. unfortunately you can't use the ubuntu ones as the driver is kernel specific, so needs compiling against the tahrpup kernel.

when i get time i'll try and bulid an older kernel that it will compile against

hi Tm_mT,

can you check if 'wake on lan' is enabled in the bios, and if so disable it .. then see if shutdown works then.

another thing to try is one of the other kernels see if that solves it http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/pupp ... r/kernels/ just unzip and copy the vmlinuz and zdrv.sfs over the installed ones then reboot

wake on lan is not enabled, but after rebooting I faced a more problematic issue. I had encrypted (light) my save file and after rebooting my password was accepted, but the savefile couldn't be mounted and a password was requested to solve the issue.
Tried the save file password and root, both failed.
