i applaud your behavior of late must admit has been free of verbal abuse which so characterized you here on this forum. if you continue acting respectful you probably will be treated with respect.

I'm sorry, but I would rather do without your backhanded applause spiced with vague slanderous nonsense.

There has be never been any "verbal abuse" by posted by me in the forum, or indeed, anywhere on the WEB, EVER.

I suspect that you are indulging in reckless misuse of language, but if not, please document the instances of this "characteristic verbal abuse".

If, as it seems, you use this term to refer to any sort of criticism, no matter how appropriate, then I think that you are the one who needs to learn to curb your tongue.

But speaking of abuse, I would suggest that your tedious, pompous, and ill-informed attempts to teach me netiquette are themselves an egregious abuse of this thread, which is dedicated to technical discussions. As many people have pointed out to me (but very few have practiced) there is a personal messaging channel available for this purpose.

several times myself and other members have told you about your behavior. maybe that was all noise as you say which you ignored or didn't read.

"If, as playdayz advised me, that was not what Shinobar meant (and which I accepted in good grace) then the fault lies in the wording of Shinobar's latest post, not with me. "

the fault did not lie in the wording of Shinobar's post.

the fault lies with you not understanding the message was for Playdayz who it was addressed.

that is the reason you did not understand the post and then tell Shinobar no and ague your point only further shows rudeness and lack of understanding.

to suggest blaming him now, and your defensive attitude flambating now doubt you will get this either.

when members mention your attitude suggest you pay attention. you obviously didn't the first time so not going to waste space here on this forum going back now.

your denial of abusive behavior and poor attitude is betrayed by your history as known by us who know you.

not going to reply to more of your posts but confidently be reassured will do so when your abuse returns.

As I am not certain to which Puppy, or even to any Puppy, the problems I've experienced pertain, I discussed them in detail in the User's thread.

This is just to call attention to that discussion.

Thanks,

otropogo,

Video/audio sync problems.

In Gnome Mplayer
Try adjusting any settings that deal with cache higher. Keep in mind that higher settings will cause it to not play until the cache fills up.
Mplayer tab-
Enable cache
play around with cache setting.
Start with a low cache setting like 100 and adjust up. This is fine tuning. (too much cache can cause problems)
player tab-
Audio output: I would make ALSA.
Video output: Maybe try XV (this should effect quality)

Need to do changes one at a time then test.
If no change, you can leave it or change back.

If these are video files that play on line OK they are probably good. However, a video file can be badly made and have bad video/audio sync.

Other media players to use.
VLC media player would be a good one to try.

I had referred to my recollection of having attempted to run "Three-Headed-Dog" on my Thinkpad.
Playdaz queried "Mikeslr. Do you mean Sulu--that was pae enabled because I used Barry's 3.0.25 kernel. I don't plan to pursue sulu at all-- it was an experiment. But there has been no change to the 3HD kernel."
Yes, you're probably right. It was about the time I was exploring Sulu that I tried to install something on the Thinkpad.

In 5.2.8 (unlike earlier versions) gnome-mplayer video is set to xv by default because that works best with DVD menus, but it might be worthwhile to change to x11. It also might be worthwhile to install Xorg_High or a proprietary video driver--and then change video to gl or gl2 as I recall.

Removing .mplayer , means 'vo=auto' as the default is better i suppose. I know 'auto' is not always safe but can be managed.

I have encountered a problem with a USB boot freeze when installing Lucid 528.005 (or Saluki...) on my Acer netbook.

I mentioned a Saluki usb boot freeze problem here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... start=2865
and Brown Mouse echoed something similar with Lucid 528.005 here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... start=2867

I have investigated this more deeply in a separate post as I think that Saluki and recent Lucids share this bug but I do not want to clog the Lucid 528.005 topic with specifics about USB booting.

Could you try Lupu Plus and see if the same thing happens?

[greengeek]

Yes, the same symptom: "Missing operating system"

Just to confirm (in case I am doing something wrong...), I did the following:
Boot from LupuPlus, accept all defaults at first run screen. Insert 8Gb usb stick (Lexar). Gparted usb stick with one Fat32 partition (no swap). Set boot and lba flags. Use universal installer to copy files to stick. Shutdown. Remove CD drive. Attempt boot to usb stick. Flashing LED on stick but "Missing operating system" message.

[playdayz]

You will get better advice from people who actually know how to do this, but have you tried Bootflash?

Oh yeah, have you gotten any Puppy to work this way? Solacko?

Did you run the Grub4Dos bootloader config?

Billtoo taught me about this simple program AND MANY THANKS FOR HIS HELP.

1. Running Lupu-528.005->Firefox-11-Lucid-2->flashplayer11-11.2.202.235
Youtube videos won't play...
Says a plugin is needed, but cannot find a suitable plugin.
The above Firefox and flashplayer fixed the problem in 3-Headed-Dog, but not here in Lupu-528.005
I'd like to use both 3-Headed-Dog AND Lupu-528.004.
Hence...
Any fix available?

Is that the latest flashplayer? Try Menu -> Internet -> Get Flash (in lupu 528-005)

Try FF 12? Try Google Chrome 18 which has Flashplayer built-in.

it seems like things are getting ridiculous about the latest flashplayer--I think adobe wants everyone to let flashplayer automatically update itself. That is one reason I have been using Google Chrome mostly--because it handles flashplayer itself.

About Flashplayer,

Adobe has abandoned support for all browsers except for chrome.

Wonder what Google paid them, so people will need to use Chrome.
Anything to make it easier for Chrome to track and record what you do. Google info collection stream.
Google watching and recording all we do.
Does seem some of the complaining, about information collection, has changed their policy. So they claim.
Notice you have to make specific setting changes to stop it.

You mention Lupu-528.005 at the beginning of your post, and Lupu-528.004 at the end. Which Lupu are you using? I just got flashplayer11-11.2.202.235 on my 528.004 with Firefox 12 and YouTube works fine. I tested several videos. My FireFox was installed with the pet for FF 9.0.1-2 for Lucid and i upgraded to FF 12 by using the Help-About Firefox-Check for Updates method.
