Having a bit of trouble with( AMD k CPU scaling tool requiring to reset it each boot .
Stu90, tazoc and I are working on this. I believe tazoc does it all with a file in /root/Startup.

My recommendation is to wait for luci-238 and see if it works as it should out of the box. Thanks.

There is a thread at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60846

The new ATI radeon graphic driver whilst allowing me to run compiz in KDE has effected flash.
Lobster, Have you updated flashplayer?http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -lucid.pet

It will be updated in luci-238.

new wacom driver

#1114 Post by don570 »

I was successful with the new wacom tablet driver of charlie6
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=135
installing with wacom bamboo tablet.

I tried it on lupq511 and luci236 and it now
allows the proper shutdown procedure
so that a pupsave file can now be created.

______________________________________

mtpaint 3.34.57 works when the tablet preferences are
set up in the following manner....

Set 'stylus' to 'screen'
The other tools leave disabled.

Don't forget to tick 'opacity' and 'size'
or the pressure effect won't be seen .

About gxine :
I collected all the needed files from the last gxine dpup -005
Karl built a gxine pet because it works better to click on internal links in the video (as I understand it). It is mainly for DVD's. Some of hte audio formats don't play. It is in PPM. Thanks.

Yes.
And the Xorg_High driver might even be less troublesome for some newer cards (see Lobster's recent post).
The existing Xorg_High driver in quickpet works very well . . . except in combination with compiz. The existing driver works but the wobbly windows (for example) are moving too slow and jerky to be realisticaly employed.

CUPS-SAMBA printer (SOLVED)

#1120 Post by gcmartin »

As far as I know (at this point) ALL SAMBA implementations from Shinobar/Mobeus/Rcrsn51 work!

This means that any PUP5.2 that utilitzes either of the SAMBAs (be it a PET or a SFS) will have a PUP that can do EVERYTHING a Microsoft PC or many of the other Linux distros do...FULLY for its LAN users! This includes print server functions with CUPS, as well.

For administrators, this means you can now set up a PUP5.2 that will allow you to avoid the $1000 - $10000 you would have to pay for a file/print/PDC/BDC/AD server. And its appears to run SUPER!

Go forth PUPPY enthusiast! These 3 Muscateers have blessed us with SuperDog proportions.

And to the Puppy antagonist, you will have to decide if you want your appraoch to provide this for newbie users to have out of the box or not!

Losing Personal Storage

#1122 Post by Fishy »

I asked once before but received no reply. What eats up personal storage and how do I check? I have 1 gig personal storage and it is down to 439 meg, It jumped from 800+ down to 444 overnight and now down to 439 a couple of hours since last checking it. :? No, I haven't downloaded any programs during this time.

Only thing running is transmission - seeding some files. Shouldn't matter as all my important files are in a separate folder outside frugal install. This happened in 236 but not 235.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.. Luci-237 is running well although a couple times it dropped wired internet connection (DSL) and didn't reconnect.

thanks for all the hard work and effort :D

Dropped another meg since posting!

Hi playdayz don't know if it will be of any help but i edited the first two lines in cpu-frequency-scaling.sh in /startup rebooted and frequency scaling activated as normal. :) cheers.

Code: Select all

modprobe powernow-k8
modprobe cpufreq-conservative

cd /sys/devices/system/cpu
for i in `ls -d1 cpu[0-9]*`; do

  echo ondemand > $i/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  echo 800000 > $i/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
  echo 1600000 > $i/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

done
echo 95 > cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold

Could be something with Transmission.

Something to look into. Talk of a new kernel patch that does some very interesting changes.

Hi Stu, torrents are located in the download folder outside of the save file. I have a folder located outside of the save file containing folders labeled Downloads, Music, e books, Calibre (library), Misc and Pictures. I learned quite a while ago that I lost too much when I screwed up my Puppy. :lol:

Playing DVD's

Karl G made me aware of this--since I don't play DVD's very often I didn't know.

Anyway, it seems to me that a software DVD player should play the dvd just like a "real" dvd" player. I was very disappointed to find that gnome-mplayer and smplayer do not do that. This is another thing that everyone but me knew I am sure.

I spent most of yesterday investigating. Really, I think a linux distro ought to have a DVD player that works correctly.

Ogle does not work correctly with Openbox, but it does work correctly with JWM, and it is very small. Gxine prepared by Karl does work correctly to play dvd's in Openbox but it is too large to include in the distro. VLC plays them correctly and works with Openbox. "Playing correctly" means displaying all of the menus, at least--playing them like a standalone player *and* going to full screen correctly.

What do you DVD watchers think? Are there workarounds that you use? The simplest solution is to put both gxine and ogle in PPM.

Thanks.

??? Rename gxine to Xine DVD player and make up for the 2MB by taking something out of mplayer (the extra high performance files).

vlc has been my dvd and movie player all the time. It handles many codecs also. Also subtitles handling works fine. Only thing is to change fonts path to use puppy font aka select one. If there is need for one good player, i havent find better than vlc.

Size matters also. Vlc is big and it is already in repo. And there is now many 1.x vlc pets around murga-linux to use.

Because I need working subtitles handling, not many apps meets my criteria for both dvd and xvid avi use.

I very rarely play DVD's on the laptop so just had a go with 237 and the default gnome mplayer.

Insert DVD and i get a mounted CD on the desktop click on it and it opens with Gnome mplayer to the DVD menu, right click on the video screen and select full screen or press F key. Video plays ok from menu selection and no problems in full screen?
