I just tried to install the Veetle TV app.

They offer a file veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh

When I "sh veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh" I get their "license" to accept then a screen filed with endless rows of characters streaming upwards.

Is there a reason why it does this rather than loading the veetle app, please?

I know, I know, I said I'd wait on 006 but I had a few minutes to tinker ...

Hi all

Jemimah, fluppy 005 is one of the best distros for compiling, I have managed to configure vlc 1.1.14 from source (with a few extra libs) and if I can do it anyone can. just getting a few make file errors to sort out now.

Just letting you know
Thanks for a great distro

Yeah, you'll need a newer Qt if you want to build the GUI. I had no luck getting it to run with my static Qt so Ttuuxxx's qt pet is as good as anything.

There's a few symlinks I had to adjust to get it to build as well.

I am observing low audio on my NB30.

I have turned it up on Multimedia - Mixer, on the taskbar, and on the streaming window.

Is this something that is addressed in 006, please?

Hi all

Jemimah what compiler and version does fluppy005 use as I want to install it to a full install? (if that makes sense?)

Cheers

Should I be able to view XviD streaming video via Seamonkey?

Hi everybody, Fluppy005 has problems with the libc6 needed to run JackSMS. When I install libc6 fluppy can'è open lxterminal, puppy package manager, rox-filer etc, nothing...Did you already know about this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

I recently installed puppeee 1.0 on my Averatec N1231, which works amazingly well, although certain function keys don't work. I'm running off a USB stick. I didn't realize at the time that Fluppy existed. I've installed some other apps and librarys from .debs, that I don't really want to go thru the hassle of reinstalling. Is there an easy way to change over from puppeee to Fluppy, or is it best to do a total reinstall?

I think you can just copy over the save file and rename it to flpsave.2fs. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work, but make a backup first to be safe.

That worked. The following function keys work ok both in puppeee and fluppy:

Brightness
Wireless on and off

Following don't work in either:
Sleep
Volume up and down
Mute

Closing the lid also doesn't put it to sleep.

Hardinfo sees them, but they don't do anything. Have I missed something in setup?

Jonlowe, open up Xbindkeys (on the Desktop menu), and try to capture the keycodes for the keys that don't work. Then send them to me and I'll fix it in the next version.
