All works fine.

Skype download from sfs manganer download work perfect, and the usb camera Logitech HD Webcam C270 work perfect.

I have installed slacko PAE and I have one problem:

When I open the program Resize personal storage file only let me resize 512 Mb and not more, I want resize 2 Gb.

If someone can check it, please say me.

Thanks.

the resize tool creates a text file, open and replace the current size with what you want in KB (without the kb).

1024 Bytes is 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes is 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes is 1 Gigabyte

Thanks bark_bark_bark gave me the idea, I found the script what make the personal resize is /usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh

Open this file and chage :

KILOBIG=
case ${REPLYX} in
15)# 16M
KILOBIG=16384
;;
14)# 32M
KILOBIG=32768
;;
10)# 64M
KILOBIG=65536
;;
11)# 128M
KILOBIG=131072
;;
12)# 256M
KILOBIG=262144
;;
13)# 512M
KILOBIG=524288
;;
*)
exit
;;
esac

in 13)# 512M
524288 x 4 = 2097152 and replace

524288 by 2097152 and work.


Anyway I think that this is not the way, and should look if it is a failure of the distribution, and if so change it.

Thanks.

hey micko

I have tried a few other dvd's without success on main machine, have also tried peasydvd which didn't play either

clicking sr0 opens a directory window

haven't managed to try other machines as I'm moving and half in and half out

@ally: From the command line, run "mplayer dvd://1".

That should give you some error messages.

hey rcr

Exiting... (End of file)


I managed to get this disc to play on a different machine (IMB T21) using retro precise 5.7.1, the same T21 with slacko 5.6 wouldn't play

tried several puppies (see previous for list) on this machine T500 but if refused to play?

I think you looking at the wrong file. It is in the root of your partition where you have installed puppy

i think it looks like this: slackosave*.txt (the word resize is the file name.)

Hi bark_bark_bark, I did not find that file.
Anyway I solved the problem as I said.

I thought this only if there is a fault, the developers have in mind.

Thanks.

I used the F2FS - Installer - Flash Drives on a 32gb flash drive and
did a frugal install of 5.6 non-pae.

I added many applications and rolled back ffmpeg.
I didn't have any linux swap partition and after a while I got a low
memory free warning advising a reboot.I had this same warning in Upup
Raring 3.9.9.2 the other day, so I took an el cheapo SDHC card and
made an 8gb swap partition out of it.
The new swap partition shows up in htop so hopefully the low memory
error is history.

EDIT:I'm still working on this install and it's working great, I like it a lot

No problems

More MPlayer fun........ in Slacko 5.6 will not play anything ,and I mean anything, on my main Athlon XP box.
However, on an install on an old P4 box MPlayer plays everything.... just tested a few flv,mp4 and mkv samples.
No such problems with the 5.5 install on the Athlon XP. Guess I'll try a different build of MPlayer....

Took /usr/bin/mplayer out of 5.5, where it works fine, and inserted it into 5.6..... no improvement.

I found that gnome-mplayer's language settings (audio and subtitles) may be broken in this compilation. Disabling subtitles makes working gnome-mplayer. In Edit-Preferences-Mplayer insert as Extra Options to MPlayer:
In Edit-Preferences-Subtitles untick the box "Show subtitles by default", too.

EDIT: as Extra Options to MPlayer also works:
(Change it with your locale...)

Hi Mick

When mounting encrypted savefile file via mouse-click (filemnt) and a password typed in is incorrect, /dev/loopX remains associated with it and one can not unmount a partition, on which this savefile is.

What works for me is: in /usr/sbin/filemnt, ~ line 189.

And although I haven't encountered any problems with it (so far), I'm a bit uncertain - perhaps you recall that the use of 'losetup -d' was once a culprit in sfs_load, with kernels >= 3.2.
Hmm, I don't know...just reporting...maybe it's rare enough to leave it as is..?

Greetings!

For those guys who are reporting problems playing Dvds I think they should read this madness:

http://linvdr.org/projects/regionset/

Is this the problem in some cases?

Finally got got around to installing the Nvidia driver on this box. Ran the video upograde wizard which offered and installed the "old" 173.14.37 driver. Installed and working ok. But, in Mageia I'm using Nvidia 295.71 , Lucid is using 260.19.12, Mepis and Mint are both running 304.88.
I know this chip uses the newest Nvidia drivers but the newbies possibly wouldn't.

Thanks James, found that bug. Noted for future reference.

I compiled mplayer from today. I think I know what was wrong with the old one now. I enabled "--enable-runtimecpudetect" and that seems to let run on my fast box and a slow box. At one point that was automatic, but I think that was a bug so they reverted it, don't quote me on that though!

grab it << http://01micko.com/packages/MPlayer-2013-08-30-i486.pet

As for gnome-mplayer, yeah I know mine is 1.0.8b but in the changelog from that to stable was only 1 relevant detail to do with music playlists, wasn't worth my effort. I have been in contact with Kevin DeCorte since the Lucid days so I know it well.
As for later versions, well they don't build as they need automake-1.13 and we are at 1.11. I am not updating that as it will likely affect too much. If I find the energy to build against Slackware-14.1 (coming soon) then that will be taken care of. With this new mplayer compile and Xine as a choice, most people should be able to run dvds. watchdog's find could be a cause as well,

I tested this on my old Athlon box with Slacko-5.6-PAE. Now Peasy DVD Player works correctly. Previously, it only worked with 5.6-NON-PAE.

Thanks.

Working well on the Athlon XP box.
