does it matter whether one installs update 2 or the multimedia update first?
kevin bowers,
If the multimedia update is already installed, just go ahead and install the RC2 update. If multimedia is not installed, it is better to install that (the multimedia update) first. Thanks.

slow rox windows

#497 Post by scsijon »

@ playdayz

since updating with IU002:

I'm getting slow response or a visable lockup in ROX when using the slide-bar to go down the directory if the directory has 2000+ files in it AND if I have rox set for icons display, if the directory has 2000+ files in it AND if it's set for list display, there are no problems and it's instant motion.

If it's a visable lockup, the up-directory-arrow takes me up a level and I can start again.

Not sure what can be done though!

scsijon, Is it the RC2 version of IU002? Do you not have the problem if the update is not installed?

grub4dos failure with ext4

#499 Post by shinobar »

playdayz wrote:Shinobar - I can still include the latest grub4dos, but I am confused by your message. Just tell me it's better and I will include it ;-)
You need not upgrade grub4dos as for the lupu-528 which is now contains grub4dosconfig v1.7.
The ext4 failure depends on the fdisk version, and the failure does not occur on lupu.
Sorry for my wrong announcement.

what's different of pure-ftpd at lupu 520 and at lupu 528?
I use script in lupu 520 just working, and at lupu 528 not working. I'd already check it with pprocess process manager, and not appear.
This is my script (at startup) :

Instant Update 002 for Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 NOV 3, 2011

This update comes in 2 flavors. Download and click the pet to install. (This update is not for Three-Headed Dog, which will get its own update in a few days.)

Flavor 1 -> Multimedia is the Instant Update plus the updated Super Multimedia Upgrade. Use this if you already have the Super Multimedia Upgrade installed or if you want the upgraded multimedia features. This update is all you need. Install it on top of all previous updates. It adds the newest Mplayer with the newest 0.8.2 ffmpeg multimedia libraries plus the latest Pmusic 2.2.0 with some great features including Album Art and Lyrics. This update is 14MB to download but it will overwrite previous updates so no space will be wasted.

http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/Insta ... 28-002.pet

Flavor 2 -> Plain is just the Instant Update if you don't need the upgraded Multimedia features. Install it on top of previous updates. It is 4MB and will overwrite previous updates so no space will be wasted.

http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/Insta ... 28-002.pet

Possible Issue: If you lose video after installing the Update, please click the play icon on the desktop to open gnome-mplayer, then choose Edit -> Preferences, click the drop-down Video Output menu, and change to x11 (from xv). This is a no-win situation because DVD menus do not work well in x11.

There is some good stuff in this update

Gnome-mplayer is upgraded to 1.0.4 and has better handling of DVD Menus. XineDVD has better video quality plus a new skin. Pupsave Hot Backup to backup the save file--before doing anything risky - Menu -> Utility -> Pupsave Hot Backup. Pburn update to latest 3.4.1 - Menu -> Multimedia -> Pburn. GetLibreOffice - easy install of latest Libre Office - Menu -> Documents. Gnome-alsamixer is included - this is the mixer for those with multiple sound cards - each is displayed in a tab. Remaster Pup has improvements by rerwin. ALSA Sound Wizard has many improvements and can be used to select the default sound card. alsa-info.sh to get alsa info (run in terminal). PupControl updated to 1.7.7 by radky. SFS-Load updated to 1.2 by shinobar.. And I bet this is a first: the default Grey Glass Puppy wallpaper is updated by catdude with versions for 4x3 and wide screens--go to Menu -> Desktop Settings -> Nathan Wallpaper Setter, plus there is another new wide screen wallpaper by swiatmar. wcpufreq is updated to 0.8 by tazoc. retrovol is updated to 0.11 by pizzasgood. mms protocol plays with chromium-based browsers (Iron, Chrome, Chromium). Isomaster works now in right-click by don570. /tmp directory set to 777.

(This is not for Three-Headed Dog, which will get its own update in a few days.)

Here are more updates that some people may want.

Sylpheed 3.1.2 http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... cid528.pet

Dillo 3.0.1 http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... cid528.pet

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Does this Instant Update 002 replace RC-Instant Update-Lucid-528-002.pet?

I am slightly confused about the numbering of these updates

Yes majorfoo, The RC was a test version. This is the final version. Just install this version on top of the RC--that is, no need to uninstall, just install this one. Thanks again for your help in testing.

I was trying to convert a video from ac3 to mp3, but could not locate on the audio codec.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Heartfelt thanks in advance,
calexand, It's only two steps.

1. Install Lucid 5.2.8 and install a browser. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70855

2. Download and install either Instant Update 002 (plain or with Multimedia) and click the pet to install. The update is cumulative so nothing else is necessary. <same link for the update>

Of course step 1 depends on how you would like to install Lucid. Some people prefer to burn a CD and boot that, then Save when shutting down. Others use Puppy Universal Installer (Menu -> Setup -> Puppy Universal Installer) to create either a frugal or full install.

Instant Update 002
Sadly, this completely screwed my FULL. Sound disappeared and refused to reload. Eventually, the network disappeared, too, and lost the tray sometimes. Everything was fine without the update. Bit of a moral there!

can't install instant update

#514 Post by otropogo »

Have just tried to install the multimedia update pet from page one of this thread.

When I clicked on the link, I was surprised to see no option for installing only to either download or unzip the file. I chose unzip, expecting it would then install. But after apparently downloading, and opening the xarchiver, it proved resistant to any other action. I tried, extracting and opening, but wasn't able to do anything but look at the list of contents.

If the files are sitting somewhere in my savefile, I don't know where, or what to do with them. If I start over and choose "download", what's the proper procedure then? I'm running from the Puppy 5.28 LiveCD.
