Hi Jim,
In KDE4, System Settings | Multimedia | tick 'Show advanced devices' | select and Defer as desired | Apply.

If that doesn't work, make a backup copy of '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc', then edit it directly. I think you can remove the desired device by changing 'initialPreference=30' to a lower? number or changing 'deleted=false' to 'deleted=true'.
Hope that helps,
TazOC

Hi tazok,

Using KDE4, System Settings | Multimedia | tick 'Show advanced devices' | select and Defer as desired | Apply is how I discovered the driver names. The selection hasn't worked for me.

I edited '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc' as you suggested. It didn't work, so I went out to a prompt and ran alsaconf, when I returned to the desktop, it still didn't work. Checked '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc' and discovered that it had been automatically reset so the manual edits didn't stay. I then changed the value from 30 to 20 and rebooted. It is now working, a recheck of '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc' shows initialPreference=20 is still there.

Rebooted again, and now it doesn't work. This is weird because the welcome and exit audio is working. Somehow, Amarok continues to try to use the wrong driver. Still need to find the driver location so I can disable the incorrect driver.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim, I looked at the Amarok configuration files, but couldn't find a solution there. I think the kernel module snd_hda_intel is used and you could try removing it in a terminal with 'rmmod snd_hda_intel' but I'm guessing that either won't help or will break all of your audio until you restart it with 'modprobe snd_hda_intel'.

If you succeeded in editing the phonondevicesrc file, why don't we make a copy of that working version, say phonondevicesrcFIXED, then use it to overwrite the original at startup by adding the following code to '/etc/rc.d/rc.local':

I got it working by using puppy 4.3 drivers and changing them here:

/lib/modules/2.6.30.5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/. Get right drivers and change them:

/lib/modules/2.6.30.5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.30.5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko

Hope this help somebody else

I installed the base final version but there are some problems.

The LXDE wm does seem to start when I select this in the JWM menu, but the panel doesn't show. Also, the background isn't that what is shown at the start of the thread. Wbar doesn't start either. The desktop doesn't look even close to the screen shots.

Any ideas?

I got constantly error getting wlan up. Iwconfig wlan up announced error all the time. I checked that I was using right driver. So I chanced drivers in the folder and after that wlan worked.

Best regards

There is no icon for the recycle bin on the desktop.

VLC didnt open xvid packaged movies, so there is something wrong with the avcodecs. I installed vlc-1.0.0-rc4-i686.pet and the appropriate patch. After that new vlc worked ok. Xvid AVI:s opened nicely

I created from the previous openoffice-3.1.1 version sfs4 version for lighthousepup and it seems to work fine.

It installs from the bootup using the bootupmanager

Best regards
