darkcity, Is it this google_chrome pet that you have installed. It is the one I prepared and it is the only one I know anything about.
When you install the pet, then the browse icon will start google_chrome, also there is an entry int he menu under Internet. Plus there is an entry in /usr/bin as well as the google_chrome.desktop file in /usr/share/applications..
This is experimental but it has been working for me. It does 2 things--first, it makes the newer chromium based browsers work without the pinwheel of death problem with loading, and second, it lets Seamonkey and other gecko based browsers work when installed along with the Chromium browsers.
1. First, please uninstall any Iron, Chromium, or Chrome pets.
2. Second, install this libgconf2-4_3.1.6 pet.

3. Then install one or more of these Iron 13, Chromium 15 or Google Chrome 13 pets.

Please use only these pets--definitely do not use the pets for Slacko.
Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 - Updated ISO Version 005 - APR 05 2012
We have had 7 releases, Whew! Next up is Slacko--I am helping a little but others are doing all the real work.Does anyone know if playdayz is planning a follow-up lucid pup after this version, or has he handed over the torch to 01micko?
There will be an Instant Update for Lucid 5.2.8 Finlandia in a couple of weeks.
There will also be an update to Three-Headed Dog in a couple of weeks--that will be an iso.

The onboard intel gpu is not dissabled when i install nvidia drivers. Resulting in failing to load x after i have installed the drivers.
Is there way to solve this ?

Go to drivers tab
Run "click here to test your graphics card"
What does it say about your graphics card?
it says that i had a nvidia 6800 series, but the card is the newer GT310. but i think it will not load the driver because the intel is selected first somehow. any suggestions ?

I have been unable to get any of the Chrome, Chromium or Iron pets to run on my Athlon XP box or my old P3 test box. If tried from the terminal I generally get.....darkcity wrote:Anyone experiencing trouble with google chrome?

Guess I'll have to correct myself.Chrome may not have worked in the past on my old Athlon XP but now it does.

Must have been the libgconf2-4_3.1.6 pet. ....

It took some experimentation, but they are working for me now--I have tried to replace the pets that didn't work--but it is definitely the libgconf pet that makes it happen. And a really odd thing is that I also tried to use the entire gconf 3.16--and the problem came back!Guess I'll have to correct myself.Chrome may not have worked in the past on my old Athlon XP but now it does.

The story is that when I made the pets for Slacko I noticed I had to include libgconf (from Slackware). That pet then worked to eliminate the Loading problem in Lucid but it screwed up Seamonkey--so I just tried the newest Ubuntu libgconf and there we go--Chrome and Seamonkey both seem to be happy.

Playdayz,
Here is a problem with getting connected with a Broadcom wireless controller.
The problem is a normal issue, but the solution is a bit strange.

tought of that , but the bios on this laptop or any i have witness is very limited. no choise to disable the intel card.kevin bowers wrote:einar,
Did you try disabling the onboard video card in the BIOS setup? Or perhaps it may give options for "first video device" or some such similar? If this is necessary I would think you'd have the same problem in Windows, do you know if you do? Good luck!
The problem is that the Intel® Core™ i3 Processor has a gpu integrated. and i think many more will have the same issue as me when these new processors becomes regular. I just hope there is a newbie friendly way to disable it

Hi Playdayz,
Your version of G Chome-13 with glibconf works for me.
The one I tried before was Chromium 10.0.630.0, which is in the PPM and Quickpet tools.
Have added to wiki.
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Chrome
Much thanks

Much thanks So if I get it it has two graphic cards, one that is built into the CPU chip? and one card you added in that is good for games and higher quality things?einar wrote:Hi

But it does work with the built in though only that you then have no use of the better card?
How does Ubuntu and Arch and such high profile distros deal with that situation. Can one learn from then to turn that internal one off?
Could you join the Intel forum something and them there have experts knowing what to do?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

You are correct, only that the nivida card is not added by me. This is a samsung laptop and the nvidia is default in windows 7. i have not tried ubuntu, but will try opensuse or somthing else than puppy if it cannot be solved.

Yes you have one of the second generation Intel i3 processors with integrated GPU in the processor.
Not sure if Liunx has adjusted for these.
It was my understanding that the motherboard would auto switch to add on GPU and disable the integrated GPU.
I would go to the computer manufactures website and see what info they have about this setup.

Thanks for providing the updated Mplayer. I have tried it with my H.264 TV recordings.
It works with Gnome/Mplayer and UMplayer. No crashes so far.
It supports multi threading whereas the old one was only one thread. But there seems to be a huge overhead when more than one thread is used.
If I set h.264 decoding to one thread it behaves exactly the same as the old mplayer.
If I set it to 2 threads then 3 processes are running and the extra one takes 60% x 1 core. As I add more threads the extra thread continues to take about the same amount.
The decoding efficiency is not very good. So I still can't play 1920x1080x25i and deinterlacing without mplayer dropping frames.
(the winner by a mile is still the ffdshow directshow decoder in Windows. That can do 1920x1080x25i and YADIF double framerate deinterlace without dropping frames, on my Athlon II x2 240)
Would compiling mplayer for an up to date processor rather than i386 be likely to improve things? Or is the overhead a kernel dependent effect?
TIP: For anyone who plays TS or M2TS files. The default demux MPEG-TS in mplayer does not decode the time codes correctly so the slider doesn't work.
In UMplayer you can change the demux setting to libavformat and then the slider will work.
- tools, view info& properties, demuxer, then libavformat is near the bottom of the list.
