I'm not sure. Anybody seen this problem before? I don't have any Intel machines to test on. willlhunt, can you pm me the entire /tmp/xerrs.log from that machine? Or post as an attachment. I'd like to see if there are any relevant errors/warnings. I'd do it after a fresh reboot and playing of those stuttering mice
Also please type in a terminal and post output:

modprobe --show-depends snd-intel8x0
cat "/var/log/messages" | grep 'snd'
The last two lines are a guess. I'm trying to see if we have all the necessary kernel modules loaded on that machine. Hope I'm not barking up the wrong tree here.
Oh, make sure the MAD MPEG Decoder Plugin is disabled in XMMS Preferences | Audio Plugins. When testing on that machine make sure XMMS is closed and not listed in the Process List (click on CPU graph next to date on IceWM taskbar.) If xmms-... is running select it and click Hang Up in gPS Process List, repeating until xmms is all gone. I'd start with the file types in in /usr/share/audio.

doesn´t work in VMware (player) - resolution prob...

hi there!
1st of all - the screenshots look cool - seemingly a promising puppy derivate!
i wanted to test this derivate by myself - using vmware player - i´ve tested several puppy derivates this way before - but this one doesn´t work - i can´t choose a resolution of my like... i use XVESA of course...
here are 2 screenshots:
what to do?
tia!

I got the same thing as dWLkR in vmware right down to the screen shots.
When I tried it as a Live CD booting the PC , I selected VESA and was given no provision to set the screen resolution The displayed text was huge and would not fit on my monitor. I looked at the XORG configuration file and it showed my 19" monitor as being 300 X 380 mm. Since I don't know how to convert 1024X768 to mm specs I gave up for now. I could not find anything to set the screen resolution so for now, the CD is just so much trash. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

First - kudos on this great release!!
Yeah i am not able to use Xvesa....the resolution looks to be about 150 x 100 (!!!) ':shock:' and i can't get around easily....i managed to locate the 1024 x 768 button and clicked it, but it did not reset the resolution. This happens on two different machines, one is a PII (or equivalent) w/ 268 mb RAM, the other is a PIII equivalent w/ just onder 400 mb RAM. It does work well with Xorg, however! Except i can't get it to do the multisession CD. My unit is a little funny that way so unless others have this problem, fuggetaboutit. This optorite CD-RW is not generally recognized in Linux but i am happy to say that the newer puppies are able to burn regular CDs -- including Lighthouse.
Xvesa broken in Lighthouse Beta4

dWLkR, 8-bit, Subito Piano,
Reproduced here too. Thank you for pointing out this problem. Don't use Xvesa with Beta4. I will try to fix this or work around before next release.
If you have chosen Xvesa, press Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace. Then type 'xorgwizard' and select Xorg. If still no luck, reboot with lighthouse CD typing 'ram' at the prompt.
I'm afraid I have no experience with Multisession CD/DVD in Lighthouse nor Puppy. Ditto Vmware, Qemu. Sorry about that.

Hi taoc, just to report with my problem with auto det of my enet card/chipset. I retried the other bootup intructions as in the opening
screen but none of these would work for me, so I reverted to the
instructions of previous versions of puppy with this instruction --
on the command line - so be quick to type!
" puyppy vga=785 pfix=ram " yes! this instruction did the trick!
Maybe you need to add this as an extra on your update?
and yes GQVIEW now works !
Cheers

Tui,
Thanks for the update, I'm not sure how 'vga=785' would affect the net connection, but, yes 'pfix=ram' starts fresh anew completely in ram, without the pup_save file. Glad it worked for you!
As indicated on the bootup screen, just hit an arrow key to pause on it. In Lighthouse, you can simply type 'ram' at the prompt to boot entirely in RAM. For other boot options, type 'lhp <options here>'. In Puppy you need to type 'puppy <options here>' e.g., 'puppy pfix=ram'. (without the ' ' of course.)
Possibly related issue, a friend here has a Dell with a Tulip lan card that sometimes won't remember the net settings on reboot/shutdown. I'm working a fix for that. Has something to do with dhcpcd I think.
Willhunt,
Try adjusting PCM by right-clicking AudioVideo icon | Open Volume Mixer | Click Mixer icon toward right side of taskbar, then move pcm slider on zmixer.
Subito Piano, et al,
I'm working on Xvesa but haven't found a solution yet...

Xvesa interim fix
Posted: Mon 23 Jul 2007, 02:36
by tazoc
dWLkR, 8-bit, Subito Piano,
I think I've solved the Xvesa problem. In fact I'm in Xvesa now composing this reply.
Interim fix:
Edit ~/.xinitrc from command line or Terminal by typing:
Comment out line starting with 'xrandr -s' and the two lines before it (should be lines # 10, 11, 12) like this:
Code: Select all
#XRANDRINDEX=`expr 0`
#[ -f /etc/xrandrindex ] && XRANDRINDEX="`cat /etc/xrandrindex`"
#xrandr -s "`expr $XRANDRINDEX + 1`" ; usleep 100000 && xrandr -s $XRANDRINDEX
then save the changes to .xinitrc (Ctrl+A | F2 | Ctrl X)
then type:
Then re-run xorgwizard, choosing Xvesa and the resolution choice dialog should be back!
Straight from LiveCD boot you can also choose Xvesa, then press Ctrl+Alt+R to launch terminal. If you can find the prompt in that 'keyhole window', then type xrandr [Enter]
Then pick a resolution SZ# e.g. 6 or 7 (higher is larger) from the list and type:
Then you should have the real estate use a graphical text editor and edit /root/.xinitrc as above so that things will work better on restarting X.
In addition to improving on this fix, there are a few other issues with Xvesa in Lighthouse (Conky flickers a bit, shadows should be disabled) that I'm working on for the next release.

Flash Player 9
Posted: Mon 23 Jul 2007, 16:33
by Subito Piano
Hi! Checking out Lighthouse some more. I like the XMM System (even if it is almost just eyecandy). Glad you are not dropping it.
I tried to install flashplayer 9 and got the following error. Thought you might like to know for the next beta:
./flashplayer-installer: line 76: [: `)' expected, found 2
ERROR: Your glibc library is older than 2.2.
Please update your glibc library.
sh-3.00#
Actually, can flash player 9 be included in the next release?? Or does it not work in SeaMonkey, and that is why you are working on the Opera and Firefox squash files? My vote would be to include a default browser preconfigured to use Flash...
Anyway, it's a cool work-in-progress! Keep it up.

It's good to know XMMS works for you. Sometimes the MAD MPEG Decoder and CoverViewer Plug-ins act up, but it's still great. I think Audacious is promising, what little time I've spent with it. But for now XMMS is it.

Check SeaMonkey's Help | About Plug-ins. For me, in Lighthouse SeaMonkey Flash 9 works right off without installing anything:
http://www.lhpup.org/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-31 (Click to enlarge)
Ignore the Shockwave indicator and install prompt. AFAIK, Shockwave requires MS Windows or Macintosh. The Flash indicator below that is what to look for. Hopefully it will indicate the installed version when pointing at 'About' toward the right side.

I appreciate that! Well Opera is often requested on the forum, I use FireFox often, so it's natural that they would be in an SFS extension for LighthousePup. Flash is still problematic at quite a few websites, particularly with video, but at least the browsers recognize it and no longer crash for me anyway. Video seems to be working at more sites lately. I've just uploaded a Mariner SFS with FireFox and Opera 9.22 with Flash 9, OpenOffice 2.2 Full, CUPS Printing and more at
http://www.lhpup.org/download.htm
(Edit 7/25 Note: This was SFS built for Lighthouse and does not function well in Puppy apart from Lighthouse. See Puppy v2.15CE: www.puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy215Downloads -- bottom of page for SFS files designed for official Puppy.)
Let us know if your SeaMonkey really doesn't have Flash or if I can help further.

Do you think you could host a Lighthouse Mariner ISO or are there instructions anywhere on how I could make one?

Perhaps your question stems from the fact that wget doesn't work, it seems to be disabled on tazoc's server. However, if you start Seamonkey and enter the URL
http://lhpup.org/beta/lhp215/lighthouse ... _beta4.iso
you will get a dialog box. Choose "Save it to disk" and specify where to put it, click OK, and Bob's yer uncle.

Lighthouse Mariner ISO
Posted: Mon 30 Jul 2007, 16:23
by tazoc
Hi darrelljon,
Good question! I thought about combining Lighthouse Base ISO with the Mariner SFS but since Lighthouse is still Beta, I'd rather keep them separate downloads for the time being. The other concern is bandwidth. The combined ISO would be about 182+252=434 MB and you'd still need to manually copy the Mariner SFS file from the CD-ROM or mounted ISO onto your savefile partition (where the pup_save.2fs is) and reboot.
Lighthouse and I think Puppy include Isomaster, you can use to open the base Lighthouse ISO, add in the Mariner SFS and then save this as your custom Mariner ISO.
Both LighthousePup Beta 4 and Mariner SFS are available at
www.lhpup.org/download.htm

Ah. I was confusing Lighthouse with its Mariner add-on.
Same principle holds, just surf to
http://www.lhpup.org/sfs/lhp-mar-02_215.sfs
and save it to disk, then treat it like any other .sfs. That is, if a frugal (co-exist, option 1) install of Puppy with an already-existing pup_save.2fs, then you put the .sfs in /mnt/home, from where it will be recognized at next boot. And if a hard disk install, then you have to mount -o loop it and copy it to / (if you are using a hard disk install then you probably already know how to do that). Errrr, I should admit here, I have not yet tried the auto-sfs-chooser-at-boot-time yet. Perhaps that simplifies things and my instructions are not only obtuse but actually needless
.

Hmmm. I had trouble last Friday wget'ting Puppy 2.17 from the ibiblio mirror too. But wget worked flawlessly for getting 2.17 from one of the lesser-known mirrors. Perhaps there is a router in between me and you (and me and ibiblio) that doesn't like wget.
Or maybe it's a case of PEBKAC.
I have a married stepdaughter with kids in Richland, so I tend to avoid the Tri-Cities, but it's inevitable that I drive there every third Christmas or so. No trips planned in the near future, but I guess I'd better soon because both my wife and I have forgotten the grandkids' names. I'll heads-up you when I do.

Please excuse that post being in the wrong place above. I was in a hurry and have not posted here before. Allow me to introduce myself, as I'm new here, names Dale, but you can call me what you wish. I've migrated to puppy after trying close to 30, maybe more live cd distros. Initially mystified by the multi-session option, and that is my chosen way to run this puppy. I've read through a lot, most of the posts, to learn all I could. I would like to thank all the mods and others who have provided helpful information, so I could set all your puppies up uniquely multisession. I enjoy the heck out of these puppies, and have begun passing out copies to friends and relatives, and helping them set it up. I feel like I owe you all something, and would love to help out, however I most likely still need some help myself. But am learning fast. To the creator, Barry, please don't stop, this is totally awesome. The above post should have been here.
Currently using Lighthouse pup multi-session with added mariner sfs and pkg sfs from 215ce, so it's just loaded with beauty and tons of nice progs.

Welcome, djthor
Thank you for the comments and feedback. Barry and his team are doing a great job, indeed. Nice, I like that you're sharing Puppy with friends. Good to hear that you are testing Lighthouse as well. I think you are giving back already. woof woof!
I'm working on Lighthouse215Beta5, news at
http://www.lhpup.org as well as an SFS addon that includes K3b
http://www.k3b.org, a great CD and DVD burning application, and The GIMP image editor from Nathan Fisher's excellent pgs graphics and desktop publishing suite.
Take care,
