for those with reboot sound issues, and those without,
..please run this in a terminal (NOT in full installs, unless you backup the file first) only in luci-241 and 240.

Code: Select all

 rm -f /etc/init.d/10alsa

*reboot
*report success or failure

Hi 01Micko

Works here - but had to go into retrovol and reset before the reboot - but settings were maintained then through reboot.

It worked here too if I run setup alsa sound wizard first and then enter the command in the terminal, next boot sound is showing 75% in retrovol and working fine.

Grateful if you could say what it's supposed to do and what I should be looking out for. Difficult to report results otherwise.

It is actually a simple syntax error in a bad place. What we are concerned with is mainly whether it makes a difference to network connection being persistent and sound being persistent (not muted on reboot). Anything else that you might notice could be helpful to the developers.

Installed it on both machines, running a Live CD boot of Luci 240, and sound is still muted after a reboot.

I didn't have any problems with networking on any of the versions of Luci I've tried, including 240, so best I can say is that at least the zzz pet hasn't broken it.

Not on the audio-muted topic...but also screen locking should be fixed, it doesn't work with non-english language...aragon fixed it here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=358116

Doesn't the current .pet format support installation scripts? Can't you just keep the standard mode as Xv and add
Code:
mv /root/.mplayer/config /root/.mplayer/config.bak
cat /root/.mplayer/config.bak | sed s/'x11'/'xv'/g > /root/.mplayer/config

This is on th elist to implement and test, but this problem with the sound came up.

I hurried the luci-241 because of the sound issue. Sorry.

[abushcrafter]

Barry, why don't you move the ALSA stuff to delayed run or xinitrc? After all, sound is needed once you get to the desktop, not earlier. Of course, there are rear-corner cases, such as pfix=nox fans ... but this code could be placed pretty much anywhere. Even /etc/profile is good enough.

In fact, /etc/profile is a good location - it runs when the shell starts, so if the code goes there, it's the first thing that runs after inittab.

Please don't do that because then one does not have the option of having startup sounds before X has loaded/run. That works well for startup sounds like "Initiating Startup Sequence"

Ran alsa config; deleted 10alsa file (full install), sound is okay now
after reboots.

I hurried the luci-241 because of the sound issue. Sorry.

Just wondering why none of my packages were included, same thing ? or just for repo?

Since upgrading from Luci240 to 241 Osmo immediately crashed on opening. Reverting to previous libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0 solves problem.

 rm -f /etc/init.d/10alsa

if you need to restore.. ie- fails (frugal types only, usb included) type:

Code: Select all

cp -f /initrd/pup_ro2/etc/init.d/10alsa /etc/init.d/10alsa

Cheers

(note, it isn't the correct fix as woof goes, but it may have to do)

Works fine on my frugal install of 241......already rebooted several times and sound has been persistent.
Now to try this in my Luci-241 Trinity install.....

Right, just checked this on Luci 241. I ran ALSA Sound Wizard first, then entered the command in the console. Both of my machines retained sound after rebooting.

[playdayz]

Removing 10alsa also solves my problem of the volume levels being changed--even though it wasn't all the way muted.

[James C]

Solved the sound muting problem in Luci-241 w/ Trinity too.

[Jim1911]

Had low sound on startup, adjusted retrovol settings as shown which gives great sound on my hardware.

Rebooted, all settings on retrovol were at zero except master which was at 100%. Sound level very low. Readjusted retrovol settings, executed

Code: Select all

rm -f /etc/init.d/10alsa 

in a console and rebooted. Retrovol settings were retained. Your code did the job.

Overall, luci-241 looks great.

Thanks,
Jim

Overall, luci-241 looks great.

Except for all the stuff I forgot in a hurry to get it out

No worries. FYI, When the Woof settles, then our next version, should be luci-242, will be a feature freeze. That means nothing but bug fixes until release. Previously we have frozen about 2-3 weeks before release. This time we hope for 2 weeks. IMHO that is very important for quality control.

[Jim1911]

Will renaming luci_devx_239.sfs to 241 work?

Thanks,
Jim

Will renaming luci_devx_239.sfs to 241 work?

Yes.

mtpaint deserves special treatment now, since I left it off the menu.
There is a nice new pet with the NLS support and another nice new pet with the HTML documentation. They should work for the version 3.34.57 in lcui-241. The menu items will return in luci-242.

Terryphi, Had you installed anything else? In luci-241, Osmo works for me.
