Lucid Puppy 5.2 feedback and bug reports

I'm not in lupu atm but that stream plays fine in Fatdog64 puppy with Xine.. I'm guessing mplayer would work as xine/gxine and mplayer share codecs, try pupradio and save it.
Cheers

The rest multimedia players like DeadBeef, Audacious, LxMusic Player couldn't play this stream mms://70.159.25.40/WMIT
Told me that a decoder is not found
live stream will play.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.

Yeah, it plays, but the audio becomes choppy after 20 mins or 15 as if there is low network speed01micko wrote:chrismt

Does this happen when puppy becomes standby?
I have also noticed that when i use Pidgin and puppy becomes standby, i get logged out of IRC
Gnome-mplayer plays it. Gnome-mplayer buffered for quite a while before it played. And FF and SM use gecko-mediaplayer which is mplayer.mms://70.159.25.40/WMIT
Realplayer 11 in PPM is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It will take a couple of days to get to the mirrors.
But it didn't play the mms sstream.

BUt I don't know, if it will still play even after 20 min, the audio gets disconnected for 3 sec, plays again for 10 sec, then again gets disconnected for 3 sec, this goes on.......untill i wake my Puppy from standby and stop it and play again.
Does this a puppy problem or my network problem?
I have noticed that i gets logged out of IRC when using Pidgin after i leave my PC to standyby for half an hour or so
Lupu crash corrupts Quirky and XP
I have used different versions of Peazip on Wine with great success. I have no wine in Lupu-5.2, so I used Peazip from peazip-3.6.gtk2.pet (md5 OK) and it crashed during Quirky savefile backup. Before crash I found it also has problems in calculating checksums. Sadly, this crash corrupted many important files. I can't start XP even at safe mode. Wary is OK.
Edit.
XP repaired using Recovery CD. Then chkdsk, disk OK, files unlocked.

Re: Can't start X
Hopping someone else would offer some ideas, but I guess not. ATI video support is weak with Linux due to ATI not willing to support older hardware with newer Linux based versions.Maarcis wrote:I just want 1280x800 (native resolution).bigpup wrote:What resolution do you want?
Do you get it with Puppy 4.3.1?
Yes I get it with Puppy 4.3.1 with no problem at all
Try this:
Run xorgwizard
Select choose
Select Radeon or RadeonHD driver.
See if you get the resolution you want with one of those.
Select test.
Finish
Restart X server.

But thanks anyway!
May be somebody could figure out how to take the older Radeon driver from Puppy 4.3.1. and add it to 5.2...
Puppy save file keeps items removed from '/' ?
I am using a Flashdrive, with 5.2 on it.
FAT partition contains: ldlinux.sys, syslinux.cfg, USBFLASH, SAVEMARK, and of course the essentials.
Any file, directory, or link placed in the '/' directory, accidentally or intentionally, does not seem to be removable.
When one or more of these items is removed from '/', the directory listing shows them as gone. However, after a reboot, they all appear again.
Is puppy unable to removed items, located in '/', once the pup-save file has those items already?
This problem does not occur in any subdirectory of '/', just the '/'.
I believe that I first saw this "feature" in 5.1 .
EDITED:
The workaround to this problem:
1. Plug the flash drive, with the problematic puppy save-file, into the USB
port of a system already running puppy (don't boot using this problematic
save-file).
2. Mount the USB flash drive.
3. Open the folder with the problematic save-file. Click on the save-file.
That will mount the save-file. You will be able to view the contents of this
save-file's folders. Delete any files/directories that should not be there.
4. Click on the save-file icon, to unmount it. Unmount the USB flash drive.\
You have a clean version of your puppy save-file. When you boot from this
USB flash drive, those deleted files will no longer appear.
NOTE: Don't delete anything that you are not sure about. Doing so, might
cause you future headaches. The same process should be doable by
simply copying the save-file (if you have enough room) to another
named save-file (on your running system) and mounting that copy of the
save-file to perform the deletions -- then, rebooting by using this new
save-file, and discarding the problematic save-file.

I just downloaded 5.2. I think I've been using 5.0.1.
So far, it looks great, but I can't connect to the internet. I have an ethernet connection to my home network. Previously, I just needed to run the Internet Connection Wizard -> eth0 -> Auto DHCP and it worked fine. Now, although both Barry's Internet Connection Wizard and the old one usually say the connection was successful, I can't install a browser or do anything internet related.
I did get this error log from Barry's at one point

Does Frisbee detect on eth0 and connect for you? Have you tried it? see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472

It would be better to start and split this thread at time very earlier!
impossible to read now what was discussed before:
toooooooooooooo long!
to much messages!
5.2 don't works with AMD64 + ATI Radeon (where fatdog works perfectly at 1900x1080x24 but with a different program choice as traditional puppy and some different new figure making the approach difficult for traditionalist puppyers): very bad screen resolution and a big part of xorg.conf away to try to do it as usual

I use an AMD64 and ATI Radeon. You have two choices. You can use Xorg_High from Quickpet -> Drivers. That will give hardware acceleration (GLX). It is open source. You can also use the ATI Catalyst driver, also in Quickpet. That is faster than Xorg_High and it is proprietary. I find Xorg_High to be adequate.5.2 don't works with AMD64 + ATI Radeon (where fatdog works perfectly at 1900x1080x24 but with a different program choice as traditional puppy and some different new figure making the approach difficult for traditionalist puppyers): very bad screen resolution and a big part of xorg.conf away to try to do it as usual
But if you are getting bad resolution on boot--Quickset allows you to change resolution, Setup -> Personalize settings. You can also exit to a prompt and run xorgwizard.
