I'm not in lupu atm but that stream plays fine in Fatdog64 puppy with Xine.. I'm guessing mplayer would work as xine/gxine and mplayer share codecs, try pupradio and save it.

Cheers

If mms is enabled in firefox or seamonkey (in about:config) the
live stream will play.

Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.

Yeah, it plays, but the audio becomes choppy after 20 mins or 15 as if there is low network speed

Does this happen when puppy becomes standby?

I have also noticed that when i use Pidgin and puppy becomes standby, i get logged out of IRC

Just noticed a "sudo" in /etc/default/aufs . It'll work for me, but not
for folks without sudoers.

69: echo $1 | sudo dd of=$aufs_debug 2> /dev/null

mms://70.159.25.40/WMIT
Gnome-mplayer plays it. Gnome-mplayer buffered for quite a while before it played. And FF and SM use gecko-mediaplayer which is mplayer.

Realplayer 11 in PPM is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It will take a couple of days to get to the mirrors.
But it didn't play the mms sstream.

mplayer mms://70.159.25.40/WMIT works instantly. Maybe turn off or limit cache for Gnome-mplayer ??

Same with MPlayer here....took a bit to buffer then played fine. Played instantly in VLC.

Thanks man!

BUt I don't know, if it will still play even after 20 min, the audio gets disconnected for 3 sec, plays again for 10 sec, then again gets disconnected for 3 sec, this goes on.......untill i wake my Puppy from standby and stop it and play again.

Does this a puppy problem or my network problem?

I have noticed that i gets logged out of IRC when using Pidgin after i leave my PC to standyby for half an hour or so

Lupu crash corrupts Quirky and XP

#230 Post by xman »

I have used different versions of Peazip on Wine with great success. I have no wine in Lupu-5.2, so I used Peazip from peazip-3.6.gtk2.pet (md5 OK) and it crashed during Quirky savefile backup. Before crash I found it also has problems in calculating checksums. Sadly, this crash corrupted many important files. I can't start XP even at safe mode. Wary is OK.

Edit.
XP repaired using Recovery CD. Then chkdsk, disk OK, files unlocked.

I just want 1280x800 (native resolution).
Yes I get it with Puppy 4.3.1 with no problem at all :?
Hopping someone else would offer some ideas, but I guess not. ATI video support is weak with Linux due to ATI not willing to support older hardware with newer Linux based versions.
Try this:
Run xorgwizard
Select choose
Select Radeon or RadeonHD driver.
See if you get the resolution you want with one of those.
Select test.
Finish
Restart X server.

This was one of the first things I tried and it didn't work.
But thanks anyway! :wink:

:?: May be somebody could figure out how to take the older Radeon driver from Puppy 4.3.1. and add it to 5.2...

Puppy save file keeps items removed from '/' ?

#233 Post by ilanrab »

I am using a Flashdrive, with 5.2 on it.
FAT partition contains: ldlinux.sys, syslinux.cfg, USBFLASH, SAVEMARK, and of course the essentials.
Any file, directory, or link placed in the '/' directory, accidentally or intentionally, does not seem to be removable.
When one or more of these items is removed from '/', the directory listing shows them as gone. However, after a reboot, they all appear again.
Is puppy unable to removed items, located in '/', once the pup-save file has those items already?
This problem does not occur in any subdirectory of '/', just the '/'.
I believe that I first saw this "feature" in 5.1 .

EDITED:
The workaround to this problem:
1. Plug the flash drive, with the problematic puppy save-file, into the USB
port of a system already running puppy (don't boot using this problematic
save-file).
2. Mount the USB flash drive.
3. Open the folder with the problematic save-file. Click on the save-file.
That will mount the save-file. You will be able to view the contents of this
save-file's folders. Delete any files/directories that should not be there.
4. Click on the save-file icon, to unmount it. Unmount the USB flash drive.\

You have a clean version of your puppy save-file. When you boot from this
USB flash drive, those deleted files will no longer appear.

NOTE: Don't delete anything that you are not sure about. Doing so, might
cause you future headaches. The same process should be doable by
simply copying the save-file (if you have enough room) to another
named save-file (on your running system) and mounting that copy of the
save-file to perform the deletions -- then, rebooting by using this new
save-file, and discarding the problematic save-file.
:-)

I just downloaded 5.2. I think I've been using 5.0.1.

So far, it looks great, but I can't connect to the internet. I have an ethernet connection to my home network. Previously, I just needed to run the Internet Connection Wizard -> eth0 -> Auto DHCP and it worked fine. Now, although both Barry's Internet Connection Wizard and the old one usually say the connection was successful, I can't install a browser or do anything internet related.

I did get this error log from Barry's at one point
Information about this interface:
Interface: OK
eth0 Driver: e1000e Bus: pci MacAddress:
Description: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver

ifconfig: bad address 'eth0'

Gopher,
Does Frisbee detect on eth0 and connect for you? Have you tried it? see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472

It would be better to start and split this thread at time very earlier!

impossible to read now what was discussed before:

toooooooooooooo long!

to much messages!

5.2 don't works with AMD64 + ATI Radeon (where fatdog works perfectly at 1900x1080x24 but with a different program choice as traditional puppy and some different new figure making the approach difficult for traditionalist puppyers): very bad screen resolution and a big part of xorg.conf away to try to do it as usual

I use an AMD64 and ATI Radeon. You have two choices. You can use Xorg_High from Quickpet -> Drivers. That will give hardware acceleration (GLX). It is open source. You can also use the ATI Catalyst driver, also in Quickpet. That is faster than Xorg_High and it is proprietary. I find Xorg_High to be adequate.

But if you are getting bad resolution on boot--Quickset allows you to change resolution, Setup -> Personalize settings. You can also exit to a prompt and run xorgwizard.
