The Official Release of Lucid 5.25 (Lucid Five Twenty-Five)
I think this might be a JWM issue. Will do more testing.wuwei wrote:Confirming DaveS's comment.
F11 in Firefox makes it Fullscreen and then there is NO WAY OUT!
I had to reinstall a backup version of the profile folder.
So...
DON'T DO F11 IN FIREFOX!
Confirm its OK in OpenBox, so its a JWM bug. Sh*t... now I gotta learn OpenBox! What can I use as a configurable launcher?

@Nancy Reagan:
in Dutch (sorry guys):
Ziggo heeft er een bende van. De e-mail web client is slecht getest, en gedurende afgelopen maand is de fout melding al een paar keer aangepast (welke browsers wel en niet ondersteund worden). Als je Opera 11 wilt gebruiken, klik dan op "menu" en "mail" en stel je mail account in. Opera heeft een ingebouwde mail client. Makkelijker dan web mail.
in: pop.ziggo.nl.
out: smtp.ziggo.nl
I told Nancy how to use Opera with Ziggo mail. Did it in dutch becuase it is a very local problem. Honestly, I am very happy with Opera 11. It simply works. Use it on Puppeee 44RC2 and Lupu 520. Haven't upgraded to 525 yet, since 520 runs stable...

A way out is to go into Add Ons Manager using ctrl+shift+A, and disable one of the add-ons. Select re-start, and after the re-start F11 will toggle off Full Screen, but Firefox will be maximised to cover the whole desktop, so just re-size it.wuwei wrote:Confirming DaveS's comment.

Tried to install it after your pointer. Downloaded, opened, and okayed installation of pet. Don't see a Multiple Soundcard Wizard anywhere in the menus, even after a reboot.
Also played with alsamixer to no avail. I usually listen to Internet radio via Pandora daily, so no sound is a major disincentive to use Puppy.
On the bright side, Coordinator Playdayz's browser suggestion, i.e., Iron seems to stay after a reboot.
Thanks for the reference. I had read that and thought it did not apply to me since I have no separate sound card, only what is part of the chip.Have you checked the Multiple Soundcard Wizard for your problem?
See Playdayz's post on page 113 of this thread. 5th post from the top.

Hmmm... fbpanel seems to be a bit of a mess. Every time I change something in the configuration, it re-sets display of CPU monitor, which I dont want, and moving to top of screen (my preferred option on a laptop with widescreen) leaves top window bar obscured when a window is maximised despite selecting option to reserve space.....

Thanks for the reference. I had seen it before and tend to hesitate going to apparently independent links when initially troubleshooting. It can lessen the trouble.
I took your advice and went there. I downloaded, opened and okayed installation of .001. Did not seem to make any difference.
I read the other advice if no sound. I went back to alsamixer. This time I raised the volume on various items and not just front speaker. To no avail. Hover over the speaker in the tray and the volume is still at 65295%
And, since it is another dreary day in a spate of dreary days in Upstate New York, I will quibble. Iron is working fine. However, Google says I should update Chrome to most recent version for security.
I downloaded, opened and okayed installation of google-chrome-stable. It appears in /opt/google/chrome. Unfortunately, it cannot be run from root.
On a positive note, I always enjoyed my visits to Charleston, SC even when they were somewhat edgy. OTOH, this would have been about 33 years ago.
Well, no. I did follow Playdayz advice and clicked on News from Quickpet. Nothing happened.Have you tried the tips about sound at Lucid Puppy News help page?

525 blocking router
just a quick one, when using pup 525 from a save file or just for the cd, all runs well and does what i want it to do, when i reboot into the main system(which is xubuntu on this machine) i can no longer access the network or the internet via bthome hub, the only way to rectify this is to reset the router to default settings, which means i have to reset all the settings in the router, any idea's what is causing this..??
Re: First Time
Continuing my Internetz search for why I have no sound.(Puppy 5,25 with.001 upgrade on a AMD / Asrock combo, 2.6.33-2 kernel). Why me? (sniff) Why? Why? Why?
Someone recommended turning on S/PDIF. Cannot find out how. I did notice that after using alsamixer to change volume levels and rebooting, those changes were lost. Master Volume and PCM are at max volume. Volume levels are down on other choices. S/PDIF shows MM, whereas S/PDIF D is on.
Now for the curiouser...
In fiddling with alsa (alsactl) I was unable to save something to /usr/share/alsa/init/00main. Investigate... There is no init directory that I see.
Ah-hah! A KLU! I connect the USB Flash Disk with Xubuntu 11.04 (audio works) to the box and navigate to /usr/share/alsa with the idea of copying the existing directory to the USB Flash Disk that has Puppy 5.25.
Except it is not there. It is there when it is the working system. When Puppy is the working system, it isn't there. A mystery to the mostly clueless.
Postscript
Hover over speaker in tray and volume is at 65295%

sounds like a DNS problem in Xubuntu
Is the router set to serve as DHCP server?
If not try it, as by default puppy uses router as DHCP server, I believe
otherwise try using Open DNS - set DNS in network wizard/whatever Xubuntu uses
http://www.opendns.com/support/article/197
also make sure the default router IP address is the same in both Puppy and Xubuntu
PS: love your videos!!
