Puppy Stardust 007
zigbert I have both 007 and 009 now on my HDD in frugal install. Works well out of the box both of them.
Among the few puppies that do LAN instantly. Even survives my NVidia graphics.
The only thing I miss is Firefox 3.6 and Opera 10... and Iron the free of Google nosiness version of Chrome.
Is this the best for beginners Puppy there is now?
I have to test pup431JP too he seems to be confident that that one is a good one.

drive icons too low
I remastered the startdust 007 cd and now the drive icons are too low and the id text is covered by the lower panel but the icons are still visible. Anyone have any idea how this might have happened or what I can do to fix it in a new custom cd burn?

Is there a package of MPlayer that works with the 4.3 series Puppies?

This one has less formats enabled but as Multi-core support.

The Gnome Mplayer front end GUI crashes though. You can use Smplayer though which is more advanced:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 8&start=15
You can have both versions installed. The names of the executables without the GUI are:
Mplayer with Multi-core support = "mplayer-mt".
MPlayer-1.0rc2 = "mplayer". It's GUI is named "gmplayer".
For MPlayer-1.0rc2 menu entry look at my post:

Thanks, abushcrafter for your interest.
The reason I'm asking is that I can't seem to get those pakages to install/run on Stardust so I'll quote my older post for refference.
Thanks again for your help

I have used bigg-bass's version OK before but on 4.1 series Puppies so I was wanderig if something Zigbert has changed for Stardust is the problem.Barkingmad wrote:Hello

I have tried three different ones so far on Stardust 007 and they all fail in different ways as follows.
First try: this release by big-bass that I've used on Puppy 4.1. This won't install at all -- Petget says "Error package failed to install"
Second was this one by tempstuous. This appeared to install OK and put an entry in the Multimedia menu but nothing appears to happen on clicking it. Trying to run it in a terminal reports a missing library -- libXvMC.
Lastly I tried something newer by MU (Mark). First installing the player then his frontend for it. The controls run but won't play anything so I tried this in the terminal and found a different library missing -- libXxf86dga.
I am about at the limit of my Linux knowledge so any suggestions would by helpful, thank you

Those missing files should be /usr/X11R7/lib
but sometimes they are in other locations in other distros.

Are you sure about that? The missing libs are X-server drivers. That are usually included in older puppy version like 2.14X and 3 series, 4 series doesn't have them by default.abushcrafter wrote:Read the MPlayer-1.0rc2 post, the is MPlayer-extra-libs.pet in the main post to fix that.
/usr/X11R7/lib/libXvMC.so
/usr/X11R7/liblibXxf86dga are both in 2.14X
but I did find the libXxf86dga and libXvMC.so drivers located in the 20MB full xorg pet. here's the missing 2 deps.
If you need more than those 2 you posted maybe install the full 20MB pet Xorg, but first test the ones I provided below from that large package.

Yes I am sure. Here is the contents of the pet:

wow that's not a good way to do it, those drivers should of stayed with the xorg packages, because it could mess up peoples displays by mix matching Xorg files with 3,4,5 series.abushcrafter wrote:Yes I am sure. Here is the contents of the pet:Code: Select all

That's the thing about puppy, people never stick to the series, they user series 2 packages on series 4 etc. Like Gemgame and Bubbles, I had a request for a package for that for 4 series, and since they are both gtk1.2 games It took a bit of work, but they were happy. Or the VLC 8.6h package I made up on 4 series, I managed to get working on 2,3,5 series also. Really that mplayer could work on almost any version of puppy. Its just better to keep the Xorg drivers for the puppy version.abushcrafter wrote:What about the fact it was for the 4 series only?

I meant the drivers were for the 4 series. As for mplayer it didn't need that fix for (I think) the 3 series.

This might be more of a general puppy issue, but I'm getting corruption in the pupsave file every shutdown, even after fixing (both with pfix=fsck and with e2fsck on the file). I stared off all the items that reappeared again after fixing and rechecking following a reboot w/ proper shutdown. My pupsave file is regular ext2 filesystem located within an ext3 partition. I'm running a frugal install.
Code: Select all
pupsave.2fs was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

Hello ttuuxxx and thanks for your attention
An update to what I've done.
I tried your Library update pet and found that big-basses' mplayer still won't install so tried yours, this now complains of libmad missing so I tried the full Xorg pet that you suggested.
I think this installed OK -- glxinfo returns a load of output -- but libmad is still missing, libXvMC and libXxf86dga are now in /usr/X11R7/lib but there's no sign of libmad. Any idea were to find it?
Thanks again for your trouble
Will

Hello
Another report.
I installed libmad and followed ashbushcrafter's instructions to fix the menu problem and Mplayer now runs and plays stuff but I think I must still have a video card driver problem.
I've only tried an avi file so far but with these results.
xv and xvmc give sound but no picture.
The open gl options try to play but are so distorted and/or choppy to be unusable
.
x11 plays OK but fullscreen gives a black border without enlarging the video, as I think is reported elsewhere.
Any ideas as I wanted to use Mplayer for it's hardware-scaling option.
I have an ATi X1600 card in this PC and as Zigbert included the latest ATi divers in Stardust I thought this should be a good distro for me.
Thanks again for getting me this far.
