Quirky 1.2 feedback
Well here it is, a shiny new Quirky, announced here:

Have fun!

Here's why some users were reporting problems with the CPU Frequency Scaling Tool. Quirky 1.1 has modprobe v3.3-pre11 but Quirky 1.2 has 3.11.1. This new version always produces a warning message "Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf...."
When the CPU Frequency Scaling Tool program tries to activate any power module, it interprets this warning message as a failure, even if you have made the correct selection.
But manually loading the correct module from /root/Startup/start_cpu_freq works properly in spite of the warning.
[Edit] The solution to the problem appears to be:
1. Make a folder /etc/modprobe.d
2. Move the file /etc/modprobe.conf into this new folder.

Oh c**p, I found a buglet, an annoying one. It was a seamingly harmless change that I made to a script just before uploading. Easy to fix: Open /usr/bin/gtkdialog-splash in a text editor -- look at line 244, there is a "-" missing, it should be "yaf-splash". This bug prevents some popup progress indicators to display.
Note, I'll probably re-upload Quirky 1.2 tomorrow (but it will be done in such a way not to break any downloads in progress).
EDIT:
I decided had better fix it right away. so did. Have uploaded fixed ISOs.

quirky 1.20 jerky video
Just downloaded quirky 1.20 and installed.
Applied the trick for freq scaling (thanks rcrsn51)
The script in Startup can be set now by the tool.
So to keep the temp lower, I did put min at 0,6GHz and max at 1,0GHz
I see the cpu runs at 1,0GHz and temp is good, but the youtube video Fireflies runs very jerky.

bug
When the dmesg command is loaded in my system, report this warning:
Code: Select all
traytemp [xxxx] segfault at X ip xxxx xx xxx error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so [xxxxx+xxxxx]
Re: bug
What processor does your machine have? I have the same problem on an Athlon machine.Proudog wrote:When the dmesg command is loaded in my system, report this warning:Code: Select all

What video driver are you using? My Athlon is the only machine that traytemp does not work on, but apparently it's not the processor.

Anyway, I have the same jerky effect.
So please give me a solution, wonder boy(girl?).

Hi rcrsn51:
When you reboot it’s back. Because it makes a new modprobe.conf back in /etc.
PS: I am not using this modprobe.conf, so I just remove it with a remove line in rc.sysinit, which I know is not the correct way to do it.

effects. The Fireflies vid only slightly on my p3.
Only solution I ever found was to download the youtube vids.
as mp4.

re: "jerky video"
Try this:
1. Install nvidia-195.36.15-k2.6.33.2-1-q from the PPM
2. exit to prompt. Rerun xorgwizard, and "probe"
This worked for me; the radeon driver used the extra libs supplied with nvidia, and flash now works.

I guess BarryK will have to look at this.
Have made 2 new fresh frugal installs of Quirky 120...........one on my old P3 test box (733 mhz/256 mb ram/1 gb swap) and the other install on my main Linux box (Athlon XP 2.0 ghz/1 gb ram/1 gb swap).
Both installs appear to be working correctly so far........although I have a cpu temp indicator in the tray on the Athlon box but not on the old P3.Not really important though since both are desktops.

Re: quirky 1.20 jerky video
I just tried that video on both computers,side by side.The old P3 was very jerky but the faster cpu played it perfectly.I wonder what the magic cpu speed is for smooth streaming video?Béèm wrote:

Q1.20 works good on my HP/Compaq. Have not tested to do spotify on Wine but if it works in Q1.00 I trust it would work on the 1.20 too Am I wrong?
I am too lazy to install everything over to 1.2 from 1.0. I am very satisfied with Q1.
The only thing I miss on Q1 are the Quickpet thing.
Is that possible to make available?
Why I don't use Lucid Puppy 5.00? Because trying to run Spotify in wine kills it each time.
