0.13.1 is up. It doesn't exactly handle stopped alsa ideally (if you have it running from a terminal, you'll see a new error message each time it tries accessing the card, which is very spammy), but it didn't outright die when I tested. It might even theoretically be able to resume working when you ...

Hi, long time no type :P I just uploaded a new version. I think I fixed all of the issues that have been brought up. Summary: Three options for volume scaling - linear, logarithmic, exponential Auto-mute when set to 0%, can be optionally disabled Does not use the muted icon unless actually muted (no...

My guess would be that you forgot to make the new user the owner of his home directory, which could be done like this (adjusting for your own particulars):
Code: Select all
chown -R user:user /home/user

Yeah, we know about spot. That lets you run things as a user on a program by program basis. Using 'su spot' is a good way to safeguard a program that might be hacked, e.g. your browser. But no, it isn't a real solution to the actual problem caused by lack of multi-user, which is: how to securely sha...

If anybody is interested in having it changed right now , there are only two lines of source code that would need adjusting. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until I get around to adding it proper, which is more work since I want it to be optional - I'm kind of busy lately so I might not work on it fo...

Though I posted this in 2009, the weakness had been known to the forum since not long after it was implemented, whenever that was (2005?). If Puppy is recommending the light option, then I agree it should be changed around. It should strongly encourage the use of the heavy option. People should only...

Every soundcard has its own set of controls that it provides. Some have many, while others only have a couple. Retrovol doesn't magically create any new ones; it just shows the ones that exist on your particular soundcard. Any control that shows up in Alsamixer should appear in Retrovol, as long as ...

What is strange is that I didn't encountered this error message last times I compiled retrovol (Puppy 4.31) ! Is there any modification of your source files which could explain this? Yes. Until now, there was not an explicit inclusion of libX11 in retrovol. It happened automatically. But recently s...

If you get that compile error about lX11, do this before compiling.
Code: Select all
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R7/lib"

Okay, 0.12 is uploaded. Warning: The gtk in the puppies I tested on (4.1.2 and 5.25) doesn't seem to like the localization files. Not sure if it's just a fonts issue or what. Works fine in my Arch install, where I originally tested everything. Looks like it's a UTF-8 issue of some sort. Probably som...

Okay, yes, that is intentional. This has to do with the config file, which only stores the enabled sliders, not the disabled sliders. If no sliders are enabled - such as on a fresh empty config file - then it defaults to showing all of the sliders, because not showing any sliders wouldn't make any s...

The problem with the segment thickness is now fixed in SVN, as well as the warning about deprecated page values. Having an option to set margins in the windows would be nice I guess. I really hate GUI programming though, so I'll put that off until next time :) I noticed that theme background colors ...

It looks to me like you don't have the Image module installed. Python has various extra modules that provide functionality beyond what the raw language offers, and some Python programs have them as dependencies. It's basically the same situation as with normal compiled programs that depend on having...

You can also do this from the shell, to get a number from 0 - 32767:
