LxPupSc64 currently has ffmpeg-2.8.11 from slacko6414.2 (ffmpeg-2.8.11-x86_64_s700)
My suspicion is that this needs rebuilding/updating as for instance:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/2barks.au
is giving errors....as are some websites....
Anybody else noticed sound problems??
The problem is I don't think I've got the right compiling environment available....

running 18.03 from iso (unpatched;k5.15.7) savefolder. Have made no changes and have no issues with sounds or ffmpeg. pmusic works well and every video format I have plays on gnome mplayer.. Same with X-startup sound OOTB. I prefer the older ffmpeg over that offered by Slackware64-curent.
df
edit: I haven't installed the delta patches so haven't tested it, but if the slackware64 updates include gst/gstreamer 1.14.0, they conflict with any libav* from any other ffmpeg, so that could be the culprit in sound issues. I've found gstreamer or at least gst-plugins from arch linux more forgiving.

Neither LxPupSc64 nor LxPupSc include gst/gstreamer....
LxPupSc (32-bit) has ffmpeg-3.4 and that seems to work OK.
I'm beginning to think that my aplay example is a red-herring....

+4 continues to run well. On the i5 initial load times seem significantly faster than on the 32b pups (Slimjet 17/18 for example). And progress on the 32b-to-64b tango
1: Got my Brother HL2170W laserprinter connected. It's old enough so there are no 64b drivers and I couldn't see loading 32b compatibility just for that but it emulates PCL6 so I just did a straight Brother install but used the generic PCL6 driver. Hoorah!
2. Drives-on-desktop are back! I reinvented the wheel a bit there as I didn't see your 64b recompiled 0.0.5.0 pet now in lxpup-extras and I compiled desktop_drive_icons-0.0.6.0 in LxPupSc64. Both work and that's a welcome extra to have back.
Cheers,
Edit: Forgot that I revived my house Bay Trail Box, scrounged a small widescreen monitor, put a bigger drive in it with EXT4 data partitions and reinstituted samba. Running it LxPupSc64 18.03 +4 on it now. No issues noted there running +4. I/O throughput is a weak link on the Bay Trail so it's a bit of an experiment.

Hi Peebee, Marv & all,
Is there a way for me to apply a "...delta.iso" to the main ".iso" while using any other linux operating system (say, Debian or whatever)? Applying the delta.iso to the main.iso only seems to work when you are inside any other puppy, but nowhere else.
What am I doing wrong, or maybe, what needs installed in other linux OSes? Many times I find myself in, for example, one of my DebianDogs, I go & download the delta.iso for LxPupSc64, and frustratingly I cannot apply it (despite having both the main lspupsc64 iso & the delta.iso in the Downloads folder) if I do not first copy the delta and main iso to an another drive, then close out of my DebianDog session and open some puppy---all just to apply the darn delta.
Surely there's gotta be some way to apply all these delta.iso(s) while using any other linux OS, right? I am just too stupid to figure it out. I looked and Googled for some delta.iso and difference manager utility or something, but could find nothing. Or is all this "delta.iso-applying-to-main-iso" proprietary to the person/developer of that particular OS??
Thanks for any hints, tips, etc!

Well, I've tried to read (for the past hour) how to correctly use "xdelta3', but the documentation is not very clear in my opinion. The only thing I could get to run is showed in the pic below---and I do not believe it can be right because it took less than 2-3 secs to run, and the resulting 18.03+4.iso is only ~2.8MB larger than the original 18.03.iso.
Yet the .delta is 57MB in size, and when you do it inside a puppy, it definitely takes longer than 2-3 seconds for the delta to apply & then generate the new .iso.
Can anyone give me some hints on exactly what to enter into the terminal? I've tried the "-d" command paramter, and also "djw -S" parameters. (Fred, you out there??, I am in my XFCE-Debian64-build trying to do this)

Hmmm, I guess something must have happened. But, I swear, Peebee, when I was in the terminal and hit the "xdelta3 -d...." command, it happened so fast I was like what? It was literally less than 2 secs & it spit out the new 18.03-4.iso. When I do them inside a pup, it's definitely longer than that.
Oh, I will keep pushing on here.
Going to now try the 18.03-5.delta on the 18.03.iso, and again try to watch what happens.
P.S. Thanks for posting about the xdelta3 being the program to use.
