Re: Compton opacity only works at 50%
hi ProgRob,ProgRob wrote:I have just started using BionicPup. Running well. A couple of issues, one of which is with Compton.
I am using it to set the opacity of non-active windows to be semi-transparent. However, all I get is a slight change of colour in their background until I hit 50% when the window goes really transparent.
Any reason why?
i've been trying to figure this out for a while with no luck
i think it may be to do with JWM

I guess compton should be disabled by default.

Why not chromium as default, cause it's really fast ?
yes it does work for youtube videos and various other sites.linuxcbon wrote:Does it work for youtube videos ?666philb wrote:on slow computers i use i install the 'open with' addon in palemoon and then open the video in mpv.

the only reason chromium is fast is because it's an older version, the last version to have hardware acceleration. if you try to update any of the chrome based browsers in quickpet (vivaldi,opera,chrome etc) you'll be bitterly disappointed. On a 16 core cpu with a nvidia 1050ti card 360p videos have screen tearing
palemoon is actually very good at streaming 4k 60fps youtube videos (silky smooth), but i guess must use more cpu than chromium going by your reports.

Palemoon is extremely slow on old cpus, it uses at least 90% of the cpu. It's much slower than firefox, which is already slow.666philb wrote:palemoon is actually very good at streaming 4k 60fps youtube videos (silky smooth), but i guess must use more cpu than chromium going by your reports.
chromium is at version 79 now. 73 is the last good chromium.

BionicPup64 has MPV media player which is quite good but of course the user controls are rather rudimentary.
I compiled GNOME-MPV from source. Version 0.16
It is GTK+3 only and support for this in Puppy is not perfect.
I notice that there is a "Pause" icon which is missing (once you start to play something)
Otherwise the GUI looks quite nice and offers better user controls.
You can drag and drop media files or right-click > Open With > GNOME-MPV
In case anyone wants to TEST I have uploaded to:-

Installed size is only around 450k

A result of XenialPup 32bit playing the same YouTube video:
Both Pale Moon 28 and Chromium 80 consume about 50% of CPU, except that Pale Moon consumes about 90% at the beginning of the playback.
As for Pale Moon, I switch "gfx.xrender.enabled" to "false." This reduces a considerable amount of CPU consumption.
Chromium 80 (ubuntu official build) is hardware-accelerated.
Chromium 79, which is not hardware-accelerated, is worse than Pale Moon.
Pale Moon seems to be a good choice as a default browser with about half the size of Chromium.

There is a fix for Linux they are working on.
Testing it for now.
You can try to make the changes.
about:config in address slot, will bring up config window.
Make changes.
Try this one first.
layers.acceleration.force-enabled
This one may or may not help or be needed.
First try without changing this.
media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled
Shutdown and restart Pale Moon, so changes are being used.
about:support in address slot, will bring up support page, where you can see what changed.
Helped my Pale Moon v28.8.2.1
Also, Pale Moon v28.8.2.1 fixes You tube.

Wonder why they would recommend Chrome!YouTube no longer supports Internet Explorer. To continue using YouTube, update your browser to Chrome.
YouTube is an American video-sharing platform headquartered in San Bruno, California. Three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim—created the service in February 2005. Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google's subsidiaries.

Re: Compton opacity only works at 50%
Thanks for the response, Phil. It might help you to know thathi ProgRob,
i've been trying to figure this out for a while with no luck
i think it may be to do with JWM
a) I am running OpenBox rather than JWM
b) On the same machine I also have Xenial and Compton works perfectly in that
Let me know if there are any tests I can run to help diagnose.
Regards,
Rob
I was getting that from YouTube with Pale Moon.YouTube
We’ll stop supporting this browser soon. For the best experience please update your browser.
After updating Pale Moon to v28.8.2.1 that warning stopped showing up.
That update fixed Pale Moon.

ps - managed to get sound working with http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... x86_64.pet driver
missing speaker icon at startup
On my faster computers, the speaker icon for sound volume control
sometimes or always does not appear at startup. Placing the following
script in /root/startup has fixed the problem for me.
sleep 15
retrovol -hide
Remove /root/Startup/autostart/retrovol.desktop
I add this script on xenialpup64 as well.
Create the script in geany and make it executeable (permissions).
The 15 second delay was chosen arbitrarily. It can probably be much
less and still be reliable.
