@Schism

Yes, there is a solution for the audio. With gslapt try to install gstreamer and all the library needed for the sound, such as liboil etc.. Try and launch gcompris from a console and see evental errors to have a list of missing libraries.

If someone would kindly post the links to all pets required to get all parts of Gcompris running (Including sound and admin), I will gladly make and host a complete pet and sfs with all dependencies and put it up on the web desktop
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

Hi ya Antonio,

Please update the link in your signature to here

http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/edupup/

We are no longer supporting the old links from 6 months ago when we rebuilt the directories on .ca

It's been a long time since we talked..I hope all is well with you.

Best,
Eric

Hi Eric,

thank you for your reply ! Well, it was a very difficult year for me and my family. I will have a way to tell you sooner or later.

I believe I will work again on Edupup after Christmas vacation, just to include this new puppy 4.x version that it seems very nice. I just installed PuppyOne 411 on my new shining Acer Aspire One 150X and it works really well and fast as usually :).

See you soon.

Antonio

Can't install on a computer.

Greetings,

I just tried Edupup 2.0 so my kids could have puppy linux that is filtered. It booted OK and worked on the internet with the filter but when I went to install it, it did not see any of my hard drives?

I have 2 HD's One with Archlinux installed on it using the jfs file system, and the other HD formated to ext2 for storage with puppy 4.1.2 frugal installed to it.

When I tried the installer it showed the drive letters but then when I hit which drive to install it to it gave me a gparted button to push saying I had "no partitions" on either of the hard drives.
So I hit the gparted button to see what I got for output and gparted said I have no drives detected.

I just used gparted the other day on the newest official Puppy release to format one of the drives to install Puppy 4.1.2, and it worked fine, so it seems to be an isolated problem to this puplet and maybe this older puppy version it is based on?
But it seems strange with an older version of puppy and an older kernal used in Edupup since it is an 11 year old converted win98 computer with two older harddrives and a 450mhz Pentium 3 that I am trying to install it to.
I would think an older kernel would work better with an older machine?

Any ideas on why Edupup does not "see" my hard drives.
Oh yea, I also did try using pmount and it does not see my hard drives either only my CD and floppy show up.
Very strange.

**Update since I posted this yesterday, I tried it on my lap top and it did see my drives and installed on the much newer laptop, so it has something to do with the old desktop computer I use for Linux.
I have the same behavior with "Buddapup" so I think it has to do with the older kernels and puppy versions that the pups are compiled from since I haven't had the same problem with the newest official version of Puppy.
I am going to try a few more things and update you.

1/8/09 update
No change. I tried running in ram since I have puppy 4.1.2 on here but EduPup just does not show my hard drives.
I again tried pmount multiple times as well as gparted while edupup is running in ram and still the only drives it shows are the CD and floppy.
I am going to try putting a dvd-rw drive in this computer so the kids can use the multi-boot dvd's which may be better anyway since they will each have their own customized Edupup saved on the discs.

Great work on Edupup BTW, it works great with the filtering and games for my kids.

Blessings,
Tom
