Always ask for set up country setting,time zone setting etc.

Quirky 1.4 Always ask for set up country setting,time zone setting and hardware clock setting every thime when boot , while Quirky 1.3 not.
If I choose my locale as en_US or some other , this will not happen .
But after I change my locale to zh_CN, it shows again.

Quirky 1.4 does not recognize the sound chip on my motherboard.

Can I copy files from 1.2 that do work, or can someone tell me how to identify the chip so that I can request specific help in this thread?

Thanks

Ah yes, HardInfo doesn't do sound chips. Someone reported a CLI but I never remember those. Quickest and most certain is to open the box + torch + watchmakers eye-magnifier; don't necessarily even trust the book or website as they often fit chips from a range of stock. Great thing about opening the box is that it gives you the option of doubling the lifetime by judicious use of the vacuum cleaner.

Easier and less destructive is to use an older OS that works.

Someone pointed me to some of Barry's statements about support for Quirky....kinda sums it all up.

But...1.2 seems to work fine.

Not so. Only someone from transatlatica could possibly conceive that sliding the side/lid is 'destructive'. A healthy PC requires a Spring clean at least twice a year even if you're not swapping stuff more often. My most heavily used boards don't even live in a box.

Quirky 1.4 is missing the link "/usr/lib/libgee.so.0".

Thanks for your small minded and insulting response.

Ok, I have put in that symlink. Also set the libgee template in Woof to always create that symlink. It must be needed for apps compiled against an older version of libgee.

Note, it is not always a good idea to just put in a symlink, better to install the old libgee pkg, as there may have been api changes. Anyway, if your app works with the symlink, good.

Thanks, they are genie apps compiled on puppy 4.3.1, (still my main puppy). I must recompile them sometime.

PS: I hope you release that other version of Quirky 1.4 that would be a real successor to Quirky 1.3.

no video?

#114 Post by Saturn »

I tried everything before posting here.... including installing the latest ati driver and media codecs
yet, i can not play my music video archive!...
it does not matter which format, all i get is a blank screen with sound only.
quirky 1.4 works fine on my dell dimension 2400, but not this new core2 duo setup i just purchased.

is there something missing?

any ideas?

I'll be grateful for any assistance you guys can muster...

Thanks!

How about this, Wary 5.0 can now "do" Quirky 1.3:

...needs testing though.

Hmmm, it will probably work in Quirky 1.4 also.

But how can I compile my own HW drivers for my quirky box if there is such a need?

Go to bkhome.org/sources. The login is puppy:linux. Quirky uses the 2.6.33.2 kernel.
