Hi, I see people talking about using BaconRecorder to capture the audio from radio shows - I want to record the sound coming out the speakers on my PC. However at the moment all my recordings are silent. Is there a basic troubleshooting guide?

Thanks for the tip.

I've just tested the latest release of Racy, 5.2.91 (5.3RC2) and the problem is FIXED - the live CD boot finds the f2s session save file on the MMC SD card WITHOUT needing to have a USB flash plugged in at the same time. Nice work, Barry!

@bigpup: Thanks for posting the link above to Barry's blog. My experience conforms exactly with his supposition. The boot process only finds the saved session file on the MMC SD card if there is also a USB flash drive plugged in when I boot the live CD, even though neither the SFS or the f2s session...

What happens if you use "pdev=luc0zade"? The problem with SD cards is that they take a while to initialize. By sending Puppy an invalid argument, it may spend more time searching and eventually find the card. Interesting suggestion - and it worked! In fact various other parameter values a...

Yes, that's the documentation I was using as I tried to work out what was going wrong with the boot process on my SD card.

The credit for finding the pdev parameter should go to darkcity, who suggested trying this instead of pdev1.

As you may have seen on my previous thread, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=77027 , I've just spent a long time working out that I can only boot using sfs and f2s pup save files stored on an SD card if I use the boot parameter code pdev instead of pdev1 . What's the difference between t...

SOLVED AT LAST @darkcity In your post you suggested the boot command:- puppy pmedia=usbflash pdev=mmcblk0p1 I noticed that you'd typed pdev =mmcblk0p1 not pdev1 =mmcblk0p1 - but I thought this was just a typo, because the 'Advanced help' available by pressing F3 on the live CD clearly states that th...

Thanks for the suggestions. @darkcity Yes, I am booting from a live CD, but I do have a copy of puppy_racy_5.2.90.sfs in the root directory of the SD card. The save file, racysave-v01.f2s is also in the root directory of the same SD card. @bigpup I think you are right to suspect the problem may be c...

Yes, that's right. A series of prompts appeared when I started to shutdown the first session and by following these instructions I created a save file on the SD card with the filename racysave-v01.2fs . The unmounted SD card appears as a device at /dev/mmcblk0 in both Pdisk and Gparted, but when it ...

Hi, thanks for replying. Your suggestion started me looking at boot commands and I think the two parameters I need are pdev1 to specify the device where the sfs file is stored and pupsfs to specify the exact filename of the sfs file. I think psubdir is used when the sfs file is in an unusual folder,...

I'm running Racy 5.2.90 from a live CD on a Dell Latitude E5420 laptop. I previously tried Lucid Puppy 5.2.8.004 but it doesn't include the drivers for my wifi, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205, or built-in SD card reader, O2 Micro, Inc. Device 8321. However Racy has a newer kernel, 3.0.17 and everyth...
