guvcview returns message about libavcodec.so.52 not found.
I know what that is. I can get it in an update. Maybe I can find one sooner. Thanks.

MoebusNet, Try this.

Three-Headed Dog Version 2 Take 2 - SEP 16 2011
I personally recommend a fresh install, and then copying one's data over to Three-Headed Dog.

live, That link is the original 3HD, not the current Version 2 Take 2. I should remove it because people should use the new one. I am sorry, what is 30-08-11--I just got up and I'm groggy ;-) Whatever it is, it shouldn't have the same md5sum.

still getting the occasional crash back to the need for xwin to start again, and one crash where xwin wouldn't start it and then reboot fixed it. say about 5 crashes now whereas lupu before three headed dog wouldn't crash at all. cant reproduce the crashes they just come out of the blue. 5 crashes in many hours of use.

still getting the occasional crash
aarf, Some versions of Pburn would crash X. I guess you would have noticed if it was any particular program causing them. This is an interesting situation. For some people Lupu 528 works well, for other people 3HD V2T2 works better. That was unintentional but something we have tried to do in all Lupu's is to have a "redundant strategy," that is, if one thing doesn't work, then we have a backup option. Just for instance, if booting to the desktop and auto config of X doesn't work, then we have xorgwizard.

not pburn havent used it. opera-next is probably open when the crashing happens but it is the exact same portable opera-next+exact same flashplayer(with current updates and located on the same partition as portable opera) i used in previous lupu and slacko and puppeeerc2 without problems. not enough crashes to make 3HD redundant for me. but probably enough to withdraw it if it were mission critical situation.

OK what's the URL, please put it with head of thread.

Bug notice: with original 3HD - haven't tried with other Puppies so far.

With file names having russian characters, these cyrilic chars are displayed as "?" in Rox or Mplayer, but still as consolation files do open well.

Problem witn jwm-508

#295 Post by mikeslr »

Hi playdaz & All,

Ran into the following problem installing jwm-508 (new version that squashed the maximize firefox/seamonkey/others via F11 bug). My computer uses Ati-Radeon 3100 graphics, and I had installed instant-update-Lucid528-001 & Super-Multimedia-upgrade-3HD pets. Those posed no problem prior to installing jwm-508.
After installing jwm-508 everything seemed to work as expected, until reboot. On reboot, computer did not reach desktop, stopping at prompt. Ran Xorgwizard which also seemed to allow me to probe/select resolution. But xwin dropped me back to prompt. Same results attempting to use Vesa.
The problem did on occur under Lupu 528.

I deleted SaveFile, reverting to pre-jwm-508 SaveFile I had protected. Was able to reboot onto desktop.
I'll try installing jwm-508 to 3HD, booting prefix=ram, and see what happens.
Edit: No problem with "clean install." So the problem may be a conflict with either of the two pets mentioned above. Installed Super-Multimedia-upgrade-3HD pet. Rebooted without problem. As I don't recall what was included in upgrade, or if it actually was necessary, I'll leave things alone for now.

Quickpet Drivers returns noting

#296 Post by mikeslr »

Hi playdaz & all,

Clicking Quickpet and then selecting drivers returns no choices. This is both before and after ppm is updated.

Just checking if this is as it should be.

That is correct.Since this release has the 2.6.37.6 Slacko kernel the regular Lucid drivers (for 2.6.33.2 kernel) won't work.

4. Since Three-Headed Dog has a different kernel than Lucid the Lucid video drivers won't work.

The ATI fglrx driver from Slacko works for my HD 3850 card.
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet ... 37.6-s.pet

Xorg_High will still work for everything but Nvidia cards--but even that would be worth testing.
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet ... -Lucid.pet

Please see this message. But there are reports that a/the Nvidia drivers don't work.

I use the Slacko drivers in my Nvidia boxes and Xorg_High on my Intel boxes and those drivers work fine.
HTH.

That is good news JamesC. Thanks. After Slacko is released I am thinking to steal the section of Slickpet that recommends video drivers and insert it into Quickpet in 3HD.

I've used both the 96.43.19-k2.6.37.6-s (old Nvidia card) and 275.09.07-k2.6.37.6-s (newer Nvidia cards) from Slacko successfully in Three_Headed_Dog.

Realtek Wireless driver

#302 Post by goolwa_pup »

I made a request to Tempestuous for a driver:
This is a request for the Realtek 8192cu driver to be compiled for Three-Headed Dog. Currently I cannot access internet

Tempestuous replied:
You will need to ask someone who has a 2.6.37.6 development environment set up. I don't.
The correct source code is difficult to identify on the Realtek site, so I can help you there. I have just uploaded the source code you need here -
http://minipc.org/ipup/download/rtl8192 ... 715.tar.gz

Is it possible that someone can compile this driver for three headed dog?

Thanx

Glad to help. How are you loading the 8192cu module? Did you add it to BootManager config? Or is it automatically loaded?
