(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Desksetup 0.4 is working fine here.Presently running 2 frugals and 1 full install of 055.

Tried Trinity....... tried to load but got some error messages that I don't remember at the moment.Will check again a bit later.

Something is not quite right with the mplayer browser performance.
Click on this link and mplayer should load in a fresh page of the browser, fill its cache to around 7% and then begin to play the video as a stream. This is how it works in all my other Puppies. In spup it does not work. I think it tries to download the whole video and then play it, though I ran out of patience waiting for it to complete.
Try the link first in spup, then in Lucid to see what I mean. Sorry for the late heads up

I'm in Lucid 5.2 and it tried to download the entire page but stopped when the cache filled up. It may be a page problem, I don't think it has anything to do with spup. What pup has this link worked on?

Same with me. Using Snowpuppy-004. It loads cache 100 % full and then stops.

Hi all

same hear Dave seamonkey is just trying to download it

I cant get MHwaveedit to work. missing dependency libsamplerate.so.0

cheers

Working perfectly in latest Lucid, Wary, and Q13. Using either Seamonkey or Firefox.

EDIT: also works in Chrome and Opera as it should, again in Lucid etc.

Good the drive icons are fixed but it does seem to appear that something on your system is corrupt. If you have to press ctrl-alt-bkspce just to restart X then something is wrong. I can't see anything obvious with what you have installed but it appears X is not being killed. You list "xorghigh".. is this the one from lupu? If so that will be your issue. We do have a "mesa" package for spup that should do the same thing, available from the setup icon, "Update X Drivers" or the PPM, type "mesa*" in the search box with the spup repo checked. Make sure you uninstall xorg_high first, and pray that that doesn't break anything!

Thanks for reporting

Cheers

uninstalled xorghigh and installed mesa-7.8.1-spup.pet which did not fix my problem
reformatted partition and did another full install of spup-055.
each time i install a pet i check to make sure i can restart x from the menu - so far so good
if it breaks again, then i will know what caused it
thanks for your help

Thanks for report DaveS

I found the problem... the guy who makes the gecko mediaplayer plugin also makes gnome-mplayer... naturally he makes the plugin dependant on gnome-mplayer

Install gnome-mplayer from the repo and it works just fine.

Sorry about that.

Stripe, I'll fix MHwaveedit, I'll recompile, I think it can be done disabling libsamplerate. That was one of Iguleder's, I didn't check it...

The url plays fine in SeaMonkey now.

The video was a lot more interesting than watching it snow outside......

The video comes from the TED Talks web site. http://www.ted.com/talks
More interesting videos than you could ever dream of watching. It is updated pretty much daily so I have it set up as an RSS feed in Google reader.

Pnethood reports "No shares found" (or words to that effect). But Pnethood 0.66 in Wary Final does find the share folder and the printer on my XP computer.

The latest Wary (Wary5) does that too. It's an extended delay while
loading devices.

I'm sticking with the earlier Wary.0.9.8 because it doesn't have that
problem.

Another possibility ( Puppy Lupu113 full install):
I had the same problem with a keyboard and (or) a mouse on a PC (8 years old) that accepts only the PS/2.
I wanted to change to USB keyboard and mouse using connectors USB-/PS/2 => Rebooted the PC ( Puppy Lupu113 full install): ....
It sought desperately in USB 'input' and not in the PS/2 ...=> USB 1,2,3, etc. ...

Same for me - pnethood in spup055 doesn't find any shares - lameSMB does connect though. pnethood in lupu520 works fine.

It seems that bash 4 does not work? (spup 55 pupsave)
Bash 3 commands only work.
I could be at fault or maybe I understood something wrong.
thanks for your help

Thanks for reporting that pnethood is not working. I will look into this, but it does seem Barry has recently made a patched version, pnethood-0.6.6.2, however it's not available at the moment due to problems at the ibiblio repo.

peebee

Thanks for reporting that lamesmbexplorer does work, that confirms that at least the smb-client backend is working so that the issue with pnethood should be only a scripting change.

As far as I know, whereis is a separate executable and not part of bash4. Be aware that many execs such as whois, which etc., are busybox applets and not the full versions, whereis is not included in Puppy. This is of course a space saving measure.
I needed bash>=4 to compile gnumeric, it would not wotk in bash<4. That's one reason I included it.
There is also a minor bug in spup bash-4* that I fixed in the previous pages. This is needed by some scripts, notably ldd.

Hi all

01micko I have compiled glib 2.26.1 as well as glibc 2.12.2 in spup and made pets if they are of any use just shout
(I am trying to compile and build spup with the latest releases all on one machine)

cheers

Hello all
Has anybody of you tried to boot a frugal installation from USB-flashdisk ?
Spup055 refuses to search for Safefiles on other attached storage media. This is independent of the pmedia entry in isolinux.cfg being usbflash, ataflash or CD. An identical behavior shows lupu520. With lupu511 this was different.
Not having red fully through the last 32 pages of this thread: is there an easy measure for a workaround ?
Thank you in advance for a solution.

By the way, does anybody of you have experience with checkinstall for Slackware ?
http://checkinstall.izto.org/
Does this checkinstall-1.6.2-i386-10.tgz work for spup too ? I have tried but I was not really successful at all. I need additional investigation time.

Best regards

Christian
