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

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.

Will renaming luci_devx_239.sfs to 241 work?

Thanks,
Jim

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.

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

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

Appears to be working normally here in 241 as well.

A couple of people have reported inconsistencies in disk space reported in Partview, if anyone could pursue that. Thanks.

Fresh full hd installation of luci-241 had a few minor problems.

1. The code 01micko posted corrected the low volume situation.

2. Problems that are only present with full hd installation:

a. Default media player opens but will not play. To correct, I changed default to VLC.

b. Personalize Setting does not come up on initial boot. When tried from the menu, it would not open on first try. Subsequent trys, it opens and works properly.

Cheers,
Jim

Osmo works for me. No problem ( CD-Live and pupsave).

From my frugal install of 141 Partview appears to be reporting the correct amount of free space.I'll check the other installs a bit later.

no screen capture in the menu.
I could not export.

There ia a newer Partview Barry is using in Quirky/Wary. I'll dig it up and see if the feature of the version and info can be added.

Cheers

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?
ttuuxxx

Both. Good programs in Puppy Package Manager is a feature of Lucid. But I just had this idea. What if we put a bunch of your programs in an sfs so that a user could one-click download the sfs from Quickpet and have the "full ttuuxxx experience." We would name the sfs "ttuuxxx's favorites" or something like that, or "ttuuxxs's best utilities." And ttuuxxx fans could install all of them with one-click, without using up any of the pup_save memory. I think there are plenty of people who would do that. What do you think? It would be like a personality module to give Lucid a ttuuxxx flavor

. (We would put them also in PPM individually.)

We would use this as a feature in promoting Lucid.

I can't remember who had the project of a module to convert Lucid to a Macpup. It would work for that too.

And shinobar, maybe you would like to make one also. You might have given me the idea with the seamonkey-flashplayer-jre you built.

personalised puppy packs! plug in puppy packs?! hmmm... sfs 'themed' packs - audio production sfs, video production sfs, office sfs...

Ok, here's the later Partview with the version info added as a splash screen instead of in the gui. It uses glade so I didn't want to hack (er don't know much about glade anyway

).

Note the small gui starts off showing your /mnt/home drive then you click "all drives" for a full report.

Cheers

Almost every day new post comes in this Forum on installation problem.
A typical story:

Again, I'd like to say: Who can manage with the 'Universal Installer' and 'Grub config'?

Well, shinobar, all of us can manage with the Universal Installer and grub config. We have learned what to do. But you make a good point. It is hardly intuitive about running grub config and then properly creating menu.lst.

And the name of 'Grub4Dos' is somewhat confusing. The 'Grub4Dos' is actually 'Grab NOT ONLY for dos'.
The 'Grub4Dos config' is the killer. It is upper compatible with legacy grub.
It does not depend on whether the user has Windows or not.

I agree with you about the name Grub4dos. I would like to test something called "Universal Installer - Automatic" that would use grub4dos. Is that about what you have prepared at the link? Could you let me know please? Thank you.

We would also keep "Universal Installer - Manual" (just in case).

Here's a "vidmode.sh" for you. Make sure to have all the NVIDIA .pet's call it after installing.

Code:
mv /root/.mplayer/config /root/.mplayer/config.bak
cat /root/.mplayer/config.bak | sed s/'x11'/'xv'/g > /root/.mplayer/config

gabe, Is not the problem only with the nv driver--the nvidia pets install the nvidia driver--that can use Xv I would think, but I don;t know for sure. To use this idea I *think* we would have to grep for the nv driver--but would it slow things down too much to do it every time.
