Saluki

zigbert I have to agree with you. Your Pmusic has come a long way from it's early incarnations.

It is my audio player of choice.

Thanks

[jemimah]

But if it is a while since the last time you tried Pmusic, I would encourage you to take a quick look. Pmusic does most of what Goggles, Asunder, pCD and Streamtuner does all together. Plus some more.

Looks good, and also feels less flaky and more stable than before. But I still prefer Xnoise and I'd like to avoid adding ffmpeg to the base.

It's all good. I will try to maintain pcd.

Saluki-011 has been released:

New in 011:

More PPM enhancements
Remove Builtins now works with adrive
Defaults-Chooser - Scottman's version with updates
PupRemaster - This is Dougal's version with some updates
The firewall installer has had a bit of a face lift

Various bugfixes and enhancements

You should need to modify it.
I don't think there's a bootcode for selecting specific drivers. However if this process works, and you successfully create a save file you'll only need to do this once.

Sorry, "pfix=nox" does not solve the problem, however symptoms are different. Setup screens are normal and then goes to a prompt. Both selecting probe or choose driver gives same results. Xwin boots to a gray screen, the only way out is the power off button.

Thanks,
Jim

Does it do that if you pick the vesa driver?

Selecting the vesa driver gives a different symptom, xwin fails to boot, it just returns to a prompt.

Thanks,
Jim

Repository is down??? Can't download. - got the same - can't access repo.

[Geoffrey]

I get a empty response from the server using uget, If I go to pet's directory I can download ok.

luki-011.iso could not be saved, because the source file could not be read

[jim3630]

could download pets but not the iso.

[James C]

Can't download the iso from here either.

[jemimah]

I've sent smokey01 a PM about it. I"m sure he'll check on it when he gets a chance.

[ttuuxxx]

same with my repo at http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/
you get the software list, but when you click on a iso, it gives you a white screen and no download to be found.

Finally got a replacement for one that was berked last year by a power spike! Payout from power co didn't allow a new box, but did allow a decent near-new to be purchased (with my first lcd screen).

Thought I'd try something puppy modern on it and cd'd Saluki 10.

These are my initial comments, don't take them to heart, there just observations and comments.

Boot and startup was ok,

-however it did try to setup the screensize one size larger than was good for optimum viewing, 1600x1200 on a 17"screen is a little tight even if the screen can take it, maybe there needs to be either a table that reads the monitor's screensize and sets the default down a step or two or alternately have the default set at 1024x768 for all and let users change this upwards (as they can) in the startup settings.

-nice idea / like the boxes down the rhs showing storage devices connected, however do wonder if they should only show removable devices (cd/dvd, memsticks, etc) and not individual hard drive partitions, only the saluki, grub and swap are there so far. If I had my external drive stack (connects via a usb2 port) plugged in I suspect it would have either crashed or taken a lot of time as there are 63 stacked partitions on it.

- installed frugal cleanly and it did put grub in the propper place first time.

- did a savefile on reboot, but had to create a new config on re-startup (no cd in drive). I thought this problem had been sorted out back in 525/528?

-will test further and report if problems are found.

-if you / anyone are / is considering playing with ppm, the 'check dependancies installed packages' part, it needs some work, i've filled two columns with apps and it's overflowed again (barry did a fix last time to go from one to two columns). My sugestion what would be better is one column with a scroll bar, then we should never have a limit problem.

11: seems to work just fine.
Default theme far too bright - expect burnt out pixels. Black is always best for screen longevity and power saving.

[zigbert]

But I still prefer Xnoise and I'd like to avoid adding ffmpeg to the base.

Fair enough

I didn't know about Xnoise, and since you are making a build without ffmpeg, I have a feeling I will get known to other as well.

I have always had trouble with these bright themes, but I see that they works well for people living under other light-conditions that me. During the summer when daylight is strong, a bright theme works very well. - But you seldom find me by the computer then.....
