Can someone help me with the subject. I tried to install postgresql in a previous puppy with no luck. I think it boiled down to permissions issues because puppy uses root. I need apache and postgresql to run my accounting program (LedgerSMB) and not being able to get it set up in puppy is a show sto...

Hi Lobster: Did you ever get Nvidia working with G_Pup 1.1. I haven't had any luck with either the latest pet or building with the download from Nvidia's site. If you did get it working could you give a hint as to how you got it working? The pet installs without any problem and the driver downloaded...

Hi Kal: Sorry to take so long to get back to you but the usb started to work all of a sudden. I have no idea why. But it seems that after adding the open office sfs and rebooting the usb started to mount. I have since screwed up my 2fs file so I am starting again from scratch and will follow your ad...

Hi Kal: Sorry to take so long to reply but I have been away. Now I can mount the different partitions on my hard drive and the DVD seems to automount but I still cannot automount the usb flash drive. I'm getting the same error message as mentioned above, that is: A security policy in place prevents ...

Hi Kal: My fstab is shown below. The lines that are commented out, are lines that I put in previously when trying to follow an earlier post from you. I commented them out because they didn't seem to work. Do you have a floppy? What partition is home (pup_save.2fs) really on? No I don't have a floppy...

Hi Kal: Attached is a shot of my /mnt directory. Also attached is a shot of my system/media directory. The only partition that will mount with a left click is the /home partition. All others produce the following error message when left clicked: A security policy in place prevents this sender from s...

Hi Kal: Thanks for the detailed response. I've tired all your suggestions and I still can't get the usb flash drive to automount. I still get this error when I try to mount anything under /media in kde: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see ...

Hi Kal: Thanks for the response. I followed your suggestion to use kde357j.sfs and after installing dbus, hal and udev (I thought they were already included) my flash drive tries to automount. When I put the flash drive into the slot a kde window comes up telling me that a new medium has been detect...

Hi: I am using the kde357.sfs from http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22805 I have also followed the instructions there for using gslapt and slackware 12 repositories to install hal, udev and dbus. I also installed kdeutils. However I still cannot get my usb flash drive to automount when I...

Hi wow: And about glxgears you can download a pet package from: http://hosted.filefront.com/rockinfreak/1943085 Thanks. Seems that your video hardware is not powerful enought or the driver can't provide a better performance. It must be the driver because I have 512 MB ram on my video card which is a...

Hi Simpleguy:

On my computer this problem seems to happen with compiz installed. That is, I get choppy playback when compiz is installed regardless of which media player I am using.

Hi: When I type sh-3.00# glxgears sh: glxgears: command not found sh-3.00# I've got compiz working but it is kind of choppy. Also when I am playing music on a media player and I have Firefox maximized in my monitor, the music skips and becomes choppy when I refresh a Firefox tab or I open a new tab....

Hi disciple: Maybe I will try another player again as you've mentioned. BTW, do you have one or two CD drives? I have one combo CD/DVD read write drive. Something I noticed when I was trying to troubleshoot Firefox was that there is no choppiness when I reduce the browser window to about one-half th...

Hi disciple: I think you are right about the cpu. The task bar in Puppy shows usage at 100% when I start firefox or refresh a page. Also I noticed the same choppiness when using VLC player. I've got a 64 bit dual core cpu with 3.5gig of ram. I don't see why this should be happening. A have a couple ...

Hi disciple: Thanks for the reply. Out of curiosity, why do you say alsaplayer plays cds better than anything else? I tried gxine but it seems to be very unstable. I didn't get any sound from xmms. Mplayer plays fine but the gui doesn't show the song information (eg name of song, playing time etc). ...

Hi Simpleguy:

I downloaded and installed your Alsaplayer pets. (Thanks)

However, I am having this problem:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27240

Do you have any ideas?

bdika

I am using fat free Puppy Linux and the Alsaplayer media player. I seem to have a very odd problem. The audio CD and mp3 playback is fine. However, when I'm playing back an audio CD and I use my Firefox web browser, the playback skips every time I access a different web page or reload a web page. Th...

Thanks wow.

Now it makes sense to me.

Hi edoc: I am sorry but I don't know what to suggest next. Like I said I'm not a Linux or Puppy expert, I just seemed to have the same problem as was mentioned in this thread and wanted to share how I solved it. I'm using a frugal install whereas you are using a hard disk install. I'm wondering if t...
