Lighthouse 64 602 Beta2 with GIMP-2.8.4 (6-29-2013)
Not that I can think of. it wont solve your browser audio issue, but it should at least play media for you without issue. Might take a bit of trial and error to figure out which setting you need.edoc wrote:Would you recommend that I install VLC & make it the default for sound?
And reason not to go that way?
Thanks @Edoc. So the problem you experience is consistent across each LH64 602 version. This provides info so that.
Q5sys has stepped forth and supplied some experiences he decides to share.
Below is a tool in LH64 that might help Q5 diagnose with his experience.
Post your results to the forum, maybe something can be spotted here in the thread on that sound problem.

The Update destktop utility
@TaZoC, when starting the system today, I noticed a new POPUP. It was Update desktop utility announcing the availability of subsystem updates.
WORKS Brilliantly!

Re: The Update destktop utility
That feature has been around for a while in LHP. Did you never get that before? I'm pretty sure that its been in the entire 6x series.gcmartin wrote:@TaZoC, when starting the system today, I noticed a new POPUP. It was Update desktop utility announcing the availability of subsystem updates.

Adobe behaving badly?
An Adobe window keeps popping up on this site when using LH64 & Firefox:

@Edoc
I did find on a 32bit thread, that Alsa Wizard had a positive impact on motherboard sound where alsaconf did not. Can I assume you tried both of these?
@Q5Sys
Thanks Q5 for your comments about something that I wrote. In fact, I shared the Update ability in LH64 in something I wrote about in the forum, several LightHouse years ago. I think you may have missed the intent of the post,... again.
Before you took it upon yourself to quote and twist what I had shared, had you given any additional though to @Edoc's sound issue? You did indicate you had experience with this.
Here to help.

I've been monitoring the boot process every morning to manually bypass the Radeon video modules.
A couple of times recently I'm missed that window and everything opens up OK.
However, after using the laptop for a few hours I begin to notice odd long delays in response to mouse or keyboard input - mostly if not exclusively in Firefox - and then longer delays with the screen not rewriting properly.
I'm blaming the video conflict and will be more careful to bypass Radeon at boot until that, and UEFI/Frugal are fixed, but thought I'd mention it in case it's a memory leak or something unrelated to Radeon.

LH602 losing ability to use eth0 after an overnight sleep
Anyone else have a problem with LH602 loosing the ability to navigate the LAN when its sleeps with cover closed overnight?
Problem Scenario
Upon awakening, the IP is present but it cannot access ANY LAN IP resources. Using Frisbee to restart DHCP on the eth0 interface will get an IP, yet, LAN navigation goes nowhere. Cannot ping or access any LAN resouces. ... until reboot.
Ideas.

If someone finds a moment - I recognize that everyone is busy and are volunteers ... and so I appreciate all that you share ... but I cannot come close to sorting this out:
It seems as though it would add a powerful multimedia feature set.
He found a way to get it working in FatDog64 so it should work in LH64.How to watch TV via IP with SiliconDust HDTV tuner?

is there any news out there re. a resolution to the Radeon module, please?
I'm experiencing some odd delays in repainting the screen in the default VESA mode - not sure if it explains the problem with multiple windows in Firefox all but freezing-up the laptop after a while.

@Edoc, do you have a SWAP partition? Is it activated when you boot (check the terminal's free command)?
When it finally became unbearable, I Ctrl-Alt-Bksp to regain system control. I have not been able to reproduce this with Chrome or SeaMonkey in FATDOG. I do have Flash and OpenJRE subsystems active in a LIve media system.
Anyone else.
I have run, also, with issues with FF hogging CPU and RAM. Last night, I saw it had consume 8GB RAM and 4GB swap with the processor "pegged" (according to the graph next to the clock). I did have a lot of tabs open across 5 FF panes.edoc wrote:is there any news out there re. a resolution to the Radeon module, please?

ATI-13.4-HD567-k3.8.7 Pet; Firefox
Hi edoc,edoc wrote:is there any news out there re. a resolution to the Radeon module, please?

Thank you for posting the sys-info report. It looks like your display adapter is an AMD Radeon HD 7000 series. The Catalyst proprietary driver is ATI-13.4-HD567, which is designed for Radeon HD 5000-7000 series. It can be installed with Lighthouse Update (recommended) or via this link to the repo:
http://www.lhpup.org/download/update/L64-602/System/
This is the ATI-13.4-HD567 supported models page.
Here is a direct link to the HD567 driver Pet
If you've booted with the boot menu option to disable the radeon module, you can enable the driver by installing the Pet and restarting X. Otherwise the Pet will prompt to reboot after installation.
If it works, you'll be using the proprietary fglrx driver. If not, you can uninstall it with PPM, or from the console (if X won't start) by typing:
Code: Select all
update -ATI-13.4
Firefox slow-down
I've been running Firefox with 15 tabs open. Not sure if you meant tabs or windows, but I generally prefer one window with multiple tabs, so that when I close the window, the next time FF starts it re-opens all of the tabs from the previous session. It does take a while to re-open all of them, but otherwise seems fine. I'm in the habit of closing unused tabs, and FF itself when I'm not using it.
You can start FF without any extensions by typing this in a terminal window:
Code: Select all
firefox-spot -safe-mode
Another possibility is that the FF cache is growing too large. If so, clear the cache with Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Cached web content. It indicates how much disk space is being used by the cache and has a 'Clear Now' button.

Done, rebooted w/o Radeon bypass, looks stable.tazoc wrote: Thank you for posting the sys-info report. It looks like your display adapter is an AMD Radeon HD 7000 series.

I'll check the cache the next time FF gets constipated ...

Gimp Character Map?
I am trying to follow some instructions to add a watermark copyright to some pictures.
I'm hitting a wall where they specify (in the MS win version of GIMP) to open the Character Map.
I cannot find a Character Map in the Linux version of GIMP nor anywhere on the Net.
What am I missing, please?
Thanks!
