has anyone tried to burn a DVD using Pburn in Fatdog. I continually get an error just as the files are about to be written to the DVD.

I think it may have something to do with the file layering system as the files can't be found by Pburn. The files are being created however in the normal Pburn directories.

I know it works fine in Slacko so it appears to be Fatdog related.

Just yesterday, I had some interesting issues with Pburn on Slacko54 for burning FATDOG611's ISO. Seems to have been confused with a DVD+RW that I wanted it to create the multisession from the ISO.

I ended by creating the DVD manually. (After your post, it reminded me of the problem I saw and am wondering where the source of the DVD handling problem might be.)

I have NOT tried to use FATDOG, itself for DVD writing yet. I'm still wrestling with the various FATDOG releases and some of the new behavior.

Hope to provides some clue.

With the catchphrase "Thunderbirds are go!
Well there one goes, all these years I thought it was thunderbirds ago, or maybe a-go would have been better. Yes tempestuous I had to google it. Down under we just had a our first blind chap fitted with a bionic eye and the first thing he said when he saw 'light' was 'thunderbirds a-go' and the next day the creator dies.

gcmartin how about try and create a dvd from either an avi, mpeg, wmv or mp4.

Please report if you are successful. It works in other distributions, just not Fatdog.

Extract it to the /etc directory. It should be included in the distro as part of wireless modem support, part of puppy infrastructure.
Thank you for this, I have included this as part of Fatdog too.

Thanks Richard, I'm glad you are finally here. Let me know what is else needed to get 3G modem going, I'll get them in. I don't have a 3G dongle myself so I can only rely on others to test it.

cheers!

CatDude also discovered the following would also fix the problem when compiling:

Compile:
configure --prefix=/usr --enable-default-video-format=PAL
make
make install

I guess this will only work for PAL.

I have tested it and it works fine in Pburn-3.7.7 and 3.7.9 with Fatdog-611.

I will now try your patch.

Thanks

Hello Friends,

Can we have these big iso files in torrent.

I am interested to use it. However, I am not able to download it because, my Internet goes off time to time. Also I have severe bandwidth limitation per month.

Hope, if we can have all the big files in torrent, we can have a taste of newly released puppies, when we have some leftover bandwidth in the last week of months.

Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

When it boots up it give an error message
that I fail to write down it is shown too briefly
for me to remember.

It fails to find a lib file due to no such directory?
Can one looks at that in some tempory file somewhere
so I can quote it here and also to compare if it is same
message in the other computer that also works well with FD.

Another questions. All these Samba servers they only work
if I tell them to or are they always active in the background by default?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Why not just use wget to grab it.

Let's say you want to download the file into: /root/downloads
go into that directory and open a console there.

Then enter something like this:

Code: Select all

wget -c ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distributions/fatdog/iso/Fatdog64-611-seamonkey.iso
the important part is the -c switch, that enables you to resume getting a partially-downloaded file.

So, if you get cut off or lose your connection or you stop the download yourself (with Ctrl+c),
all you need to do in order to resume the download is go back into the /root/downloads directory
and re-run the same wget command.

Hope this helps
CatDude

This gives a dialog message::

Fatdog64 Savefile Tool can only be used when you run without using a savefile. Reboot your system and specify savefile=none as your boot options.

But I am running with a savefile. I now want to increase the size.

VLC permormance is not as good as gnome-mplayer. VLC does not reproduce sound on some wmv videos. More importantly it does not include a plugin for Quicktime videos. Is one available?

Very good you took up this. I have installed FD on two
computers recently so I want to know how to increase it
too in case of future need. In meanwhile I may use sfs
but still I would want to have that feature.

does not the FAQ and Help say anything about it?

Precisely. But you can't increase the savefile while it is in use. So you need to temporarily boot using "savefile=none", then increase it.

rcrsn51,

Thanks, I had worked it out. :oops:

I have to say I prefer BarryK's resize at next boot method.
