Hello,
Ran into a strange one today...Testing 2.14rX3 on a Dell desktop..
Got a message my pupsave was full, only 22mb left...So I resize it 512 and reboot...fsck runs before resizing, then boots up...Still 22mb left???Pupsave is now 64+512..576mb...Hmm....Resized it again by 512mb, and rebooted...
Now I have a 1088mb pupsave with 22mb showing as free...
The computer is at a newbies house in another town, so I just set D/L`s to go to /mnt/home and showed them how to clear the browser cache, and told them when I get back in town Ill fix it...
Firefox freezes occasionally, but I`m thinking its the 256mb ram and flash..

P.S. the machine has 256 ram and no swap, and 2.14rX3 flies on it...
They cant quit about how fast it is...(But then they were running XP on 256mb...ughhh.)

Will upgrade them to X4 next time, and let you know how it goes..

hey guys, If you want test that xmms package and if you have no problems with it, I can remove BMP and replace it with XMMS, its double the size, but XMMS has always be my Audioplayer of choice Smile

I always have been a WinAmp 2.x user, I still use 2.97 version in my XP machine (very hard to find now). XMMS feels and handle just like WinAmp, although the "Preference menu" is ugly the contextual options shown with right click are the same that WinAmp.

I had some minor graphic issues with BMP but none with XMMS, it even seems to take less resources.

That package referenced by tempestous have many plugins, I think we can remove some effects and general plugins from it, like Voice removal (don't like it at all) and echo and just leave the Audio Plugins.

I vote for XMMS.

Just a note about WMA: I see that BMP in Puppy 214X4 currently has a WMA plugin included in the plugins directory, but it's clearly incompatible (or broken).
This plugin fails to be listed in the BMP Preferences > Plugins menu.
And any attempt to play a WMA file throws up an error message.

Hi all,
I confirm the problem occured to davesurrey (page 19 & 23):
- frugal install of 214X4 on Ibm Thinkpad R51e to internal hd ext3 formatted;
- if I set from Keyboard Wizard the layout to "DE", I obtain the following warning:

"(process:2520): GDK-WARNING**: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.de.map keyboard map"

After that, at every reboot, I got an annoying 30 sec. "break" due to a failure on loadkmap stage.

I've also got a missing "dot" (and an arrow instead) on the home icon, but it's just a minor pain compared to the previous....

Greetings!

I set my keyboard layout to "se" through Menu>Setup>Mouse/Keyboard Wizard>Advanced Xorg keyboard configuration>Layouts. Also, ttuuxxx posted an updated JWM-config-manager, which only contains the programs that are not broken due to this C-lib-locale-fallback-thingy.

To fix the 30 s wait:
open the file "/etc/keymap" and delete the error message, which erronously got written there, only keep "de.map".

Hope that helps/

Hi,
I want to put an application of mine into the jwm-tray, between glipper and blinky. So, I started looking around for how glipper got into the tray, and I can't find out how Sad

(I know the rest of the tray items are swallowed in jwm).
I can put my application next to "Show Desktop" but, I would really like to put it into the tray the way glipper is put there. How to?
ttuuxxx, how do you do it (I know you put glipper into the tray in early 4.2 development)?

thanks/
MHHP

Thanks for your prompt reply, ttuuxxx!

The script is just a little thingy that, on the first click, starts an internet-radio stream, and on the next click, stops the streaming. Clicked again, it's started ....etc. A toggle-switch for an internet-radio channel.

I entered a swallow command in jwmrc-tray and added it in xinitrc - it started automatically to stream the radio channel upon boot but, didn't swallow into the tray. The thing is, I don't want it to start upon boot, just to have it ready to get started with the first click.
I even tried to supply a parameter in xinitrc, and then in my script have the first line to read somethin' like "[ ! -z $1 ] && exit 0" (and variants thereof) - still, it started upon boot and still, no icon in the tray.

I still can't see how you get glipper into the tray, though Confused

.

The app itself is not complicated at all:

MinHundHettePerro I'll look into that in later tonight,

I haven't seen anyone post if the xmms package on the last page should be in or out, it will add around 400-500kb extra, also I have 2 new apps that I'll be including also, for the next release.
