hi all

just played 2 hours streamed flash video without any problems apart from the screen blacking out when when mouse and keyboard are inactive
(and Newcastle won Laughing

)

any easy solutions to stop the screen from keep going black? (screen-saver??)

hope this helps

rodin.s.. yep that's a bug! The loop; should break and kill the pid of the splash if no net connection id found. Will fix

Stripe.. search for "no bkank screen" .. a pet by forum member trio.. if you find it and it works ok I might include it.. at least in PPM, oh, by working ok, I mean when it's deactivated blanking (power saving feature) should return!

Cheers

I tried Barry's suggestion of leaving the Netgear WN111v2 USB dongle unplugged until the system had finished booting. I compared the modules list in HardInfo before and after plugging the dongle in and, as before, it still didn't work.

After plugging it in the carl9170 module loaded, at which point I remembered something about being able to blacklist modules. I blacklisted carl9170 and rebooted and this time ar9170usb, aes_generic, arc4 and ecb did load and the wireless networking is functioning across boots.

Unfortunately, the performance of the network is appalling in both the pfix=ram and pupsave boot sessions - it kicks out a lot of audible interference and is exceptionally slow. It works fine in Lupu 528, however.

So, progress of a sort but it's still not perfect.

When I try to add Russian xkb layout it says 'Your xorg.conf file does not contain any XkbLayout options'. Not a big problem for me though because I've made a script which automatically adds Russian layout on startup with link to it in root/Startup. Maybe it could be modified to make it universal.

@ nooby

Thanks for that nooby it works fine, but with me using a multi session DVD I just used the apply button as I dont want to save the change (just disable it when needed)

thanks again

hi micko1, finally got chance to try slacko beta last night and i'm very impressed. sound is now working and is consistent on my multi sound card computer (i had real problems with the early slackos)

One bug that's happening to me is the bootmanager isn't working. i get a message about one of my .sfs being of the wrong version so won't be displayed, but the bootmanager then never appears.

Day to day usage of Slacko Beta1 . . .

Did a pawed cast - so mic working OK
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=556739#556739

I usually like to save in ogg format and I usually do this by loading into
mhwavedit and saving
- no ogg (oga is not the same . . .)
gftp working OK for uploading files to server . . .

Something weird, this has happened 3 or 4 times
in BBC Iplayer, which I believe uses flash - so keep an eye on this with Youtube or other streaming media outlets . . .
About 40 minutes into a stream, two out of synch sound channels take over
. . . wot?
I usually restart x (ctrl + alt + backspace) which clears all open windows
and that allows me to 'resume' the broadcast

Agree with 666philb about no blank screen capacity - essential
for watching media

As a side project which will hopefully enable all Puppys to be soft phone compatible, we have been setting up PSIP VOIP to work

Jades,, I'm going to remove the z_drv next version, see if it makes a difference. It may not to the performance of your kit though, that would be a kernel issue. These new kernels have lots of issue! Evil or Very Mad

Great lobster! You got sound going, and mic!!! [hehe.. I didn't include flash on the iso so not my problem Twisted Evil

... but we'll see what we can do.. maybe try an older version? Anyone recommend a stable flash for Lobster? (..in a pigs ear!)]

666philb, thanks for confirming trio's pet is still ok.. um, I forgot about the Pupx proggy! Embarassed

. So Stripe, your sorted, with options in that regard, and thanks nooby for being a diligent noob!

That bootmanager thing may be a conflict with sfs_load. I'l look at it.

Thanks all.

hi all

@ Lob

I am using the flashplayer that you can download when you first run seamonkey and have had no problems. I presume it will be the latest edition but I have not noticed a version number for it.

hope this helps

666philb.. how many have you got???

Does sfs_load find them all? [menu>setup>setup puppy>sfs_load] (It should support up to 500! Shocked

)

Hi All

I have a full install of the beta to a usb stick, have updated the repo's and very little will install from Slick Pet or Package manager, just hangs. After about 5 mins the reboot menu does nothing.

I have tried a few usb sticks now so I dont think its a hardware issue, just so you all know. I may do a video for you all so you can see visually what i mean ill post link here when available. Link http://youtu.be/R9cAdB0eScs
