and mp3 and ogg are audio, yes?
briefly . . .

mp3 is audio, with mp4 being for audio and video

ogg can be both audio only AND audio and video
so you can convert mp4 to ogg

Hi all

I have made some changes to quickpackage, nothing too drastic. Just some bugfixes and some changes on the update page.

This will be the first real test of the updating system.

Click the lucid puppy update button on the last page and you will notice a new entry on the web page.

Click yes in the first dialog window and you will get the update, also including the libfaad fix.

Feedback please. :)

Cheers

I just updated the UD (L?)-04 thing-y under Lucid 008. The update happened gracefully and fast.

Does this mean I now have Lucid-000?

/etc/puppyversion still says 008.

the code is running in puppy browser

Code: Select all

file:///tmp/lucidpupupdate.html
it is telling me this:
The latest available update for Lucid Puppy is currently lucid_puppy_UD-0.4.pet April 20, 2010
but it is only offering to install
lucid_puppy_UD-0.3.pet

So not getting the 0.4

I am running an updated (I think 007) but using 000 as the CD base

I did it: it's OK. Thanks

@playdayz,
Lucid 008,
About Nvidia, and GeForce card with a jerky video screen under Flash.,
I modified the screen resolution through 'xorgwizard' and put
1600 x 1200 x 24 (OK for monitor, maybe NOT OK for card) .
and now it's OK for me :D
I get a very cool screen video :D , hight stream.
( Test: http://medici.tv and low or hight stream)
24 is the best for me!

Thanks James, Lobster, SHS and Tasgarth for testing

Lobster, I just tested pfix=ram on 000 and it worked fine, maybe the old save file is interfering.

SHS, the plan is for the update to be comprehensive, but at the moment we are just testing that it works. You'll always have 008 no matter how many updates are applied, but the idea is that all the goodies in a later version can be installed with ease in an early version (well kind of the idea).

The new wiki page won't show up until I make another update, but it works in my preliminary testing exactly the same as the current page,

The script actually downloads the webpage because a limitation of PuppyBrowser is that you can't download by just clicking on a link. Once the page is downloaded and parsed then the window pops up. On the wki page, at the top I put a bold notice saying this so the user, so long as he/she reads the page will expect the popup.

Here's the page you will soon be seeing when you click the update button. http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LucidPuppyUpdate

Cheers

Hi, All!
How can I compile commercial nvidia drivers for my geforce fx5700?
I downloaded devx sfs and kernel sources sfs and nvidia driver itself.
but when I try to execute nvidia-file it's fails with:
"The CC version check failed:
The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.3) does not exactly match the current compiler (gcc 4.4)...."
ahh... the happiness was so close... :cry:

frugal 000:
Automatic x set up boots to desktop ok but no scroll on touch pad (SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad) on dell inspiron 1501 lappy - installed the new-xorgwizard .pet but no joy with scroll either.

gxine: i only have .avi / xvid files to test but they all work in 000

cheers.

Disabling hardware acceleration works for me.
seen on Adobe Forums :
"http://forums.adobe.com/message/972329#972329"
right clic > Flash settings > disable hardware acceleration > rerun the stream ( because options fields of Flash are completely grey !)

Configure X - Lucid Puppy 000

#282 Post by mories »

The X configuration is right for Intel 945GM.
This method should be preferred to the former.
Only problem with X keyboard settings, not take configuration parameter PKEYS specified (/etc/keymap)
Tanks.

Just to let you know Micko - and PlayDayz too btw! - I'm a little slow in keeping up here with this particular section of the forum but I AM following along with the process of Lucid Pup and am still enjoying all of this immensely! :)

I also just now tuned in, would like to be counted in as having tested the "update" mentioned above with the QuickPackage, and it went fabulously well here - 5 stars and two thumbs up! Really think this will be an incredible way to keep Puppy updated and all.

Wow... :shock: I feel like I'm running in the Big Leagues now with updates and everything! And to think: All this for only 133megs... IS this much fun even LEGAL?

LOL!

Cheers mates!

Loadable kernel modules must be compiled using the same versions of gcc and libc.so.6 as the kernel was compiled under.

Lupu's devx supplies the gcc 4.4.3 and the newer libc.so.6 2.11.<something> binaries from Ubuntu Lucid, but the kernel was compiled (by Barry) presumably using the gcc 4.3.<something> and libc.so.6 2.10.<something> in Quirky-018 (or maybe Wary-019, not sure).

If you try compiling that driver module under either Quirky-018 or Wary-019 using its own devx, you might succeed, and the resulting .ko (copied over into Lupu's /lib/modules/2.6.33.2) should run under Lupu.

What Lupu really needs is *two* devx .sfs's, one (gcc 4.3.n) for compiling loadable kernel modules and the other (gcc 4.4.n) for compiling applications, .so libraries and executable binaries.

Or else recompile the kernel under Ubuntu's gcc+libc.so.6. Then it could remain with a single devx. This is to my mind the preferable solution.

Give me a few days...

phil812, you are getting advice from a master.
If you try compiling that driver module under either Quirky-018 or Wary-019 using its own devx, you might succeed, and the resulting .ko (copied over into Lupu's /lib/modules/2.6.33.2) should run under Lupu.

But, but, but.... This seems odd to me--it seems ppen. I mean people should be able to compile the Catalyst and Nvidia drivers. I am going to ask Barry--maybe this is an artifact of the development that will correct itself.

Oh, I see, Barry compiled the kernel under gcc 4.4.3 and then I just updated Lupu to gcc 4.4.4. Yuck.
ok yes=works no=doesn't work.. a quick test

mp4 yes
mp3 yes
divx yes
flac yes
wmv yes
mp3 yes

wma no
Where do you get wma? I don't have any ;-) I know RealPlayer will play it. I would like it if gxine would. I have a new version with all of the ubuntu codecs rather than Barry's pet package.

Gxine It played mpg, avi, wmv, and mov (they all defaulted to gxine)

flac defaulted to pmusic but would open with gxine
mp3 "
m4a "
ogg "

I will be doing more testing: This new version should play divx and what else? The wma is the w32 "restricted" codecs--am I right? I would be comfortable telling people who want to play wma to install RealPlayer.. Is that the Puppy way?

It is easier for me to ask. I am not proud.

In 009 I would like to use the automatic configuration of X that is in 000. To make it nice I would like to open xrandrshell on the *first boot* so that the user can easily make a change to resolution if need be--but in most cases it should be OK and the info will be only informative--perfectly OK. But I don't want it opening on subsequent boots of course.

So, how to run a program on first boot only? Thanks. It is one thing holding up 009--which I think will serve as an alpha.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Eyes-Only, We have been together quite a while now, back into the K-Meleon days. It is always a pleasure to associate with a gentleman of such graciousness--and discernment ;-) I am very glad you are enjoying Luci Pup. Merci.

This works:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
  if [ ! -L /mnt/home ]; then
	exec /usr/sbin/xrandrshell
  else
	continue
  fi
Place it in a script in /root/Startup or place it in /usr/sbin/delayedrun.

Cheers, J

Thanks jrb.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Concerning compiling the Nvidia driver and the gcc 4.4.3/4.4.4 thing--for Mayday we might be able to put a compiled version of both the Nvidia and ATI catalyst drivers into QuickPackage.

lucid 000

#289 Post by darwinev0lved »

Hi just a quick report on the experimental lucid - 'fraid it didn't get past the Xorgwizard. I'm assuming it's the old picking the wrong intel driver problem (that lupup008 gives you the option to choose). So the Ubuntu way is not too smart if it's picking the wrong driver :D

Having said that - I tried the Ubuntu 10.04beta2 running off a usbstick and although it boots with the speed of a dead dog, it did find the right driver - so they're obviously doing something right.

hey darwinevolved, in 009 you will be able to go to new-wizard if the auto config fails and that has the option to handle the alrenate intel driver. Please let us know. thanks.
