Sound was my problem too.
It did not recognise my bog standard pci sound card
It looks good and there is a great selection of programs :)

Thanks Lobster

Good to not be alone having problem with sound.

John, if you have any clue on how to find a solution or roundabout?

My HP has Realtech sound.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Big Bad john.

Celeron 2.8 Gigabyte...768 ram.
Booted fine.
First time..no error onto my desktop.
Used Xvesa...768 x 1024.
Sound works.
Maybe Xorg versus Xvesa.

Posting from Opera....that Sage blokes fave.
Just tested on Youtube...needed a Ray Davies moment.

Looks good so far.

Chris.

Removing icons from tray

#24 Post by davec51 »

Thanks for a great Puppy, but one question: How do I removed unused icons from the tray? I know there's a file somewhere.

It looks like you need to edit the file: /root/icewm/toolbar
just comment out those you do not require.

Hello nooby,
In this version of TEENpup I replace ffmpeg which is located in /usr/bin with a version that allows conversion of avi's into amv format which is used on cheap Chinese mp3 / video players with 1.8 inch screens. Due to the fact that Puppy's original included ffmpeg is the large in size, you will still find it in /usr/bin named ffmpeg-original-421 I suggest you rename TEENpup's version to ffmpeg-TEEN and then rename ffmpeg-original-421 back to ffmpeg and see if your mp4's now play. I haven't changed anything else that I can remember?

Hello Lobster, I haven't played around with "alsa" so have no idea why you don't have sound? On all my test PC's and EeePC sound works?

If anyone finds a solution to test problems please post so they can be included in the Final.

Hello timremy,
When a Application like Mplayer tries to play a video it calls on ffmpeg to do the job of decoding it so looks in a folder called "bin" which is located at /usr/bin
If you navigate to that folder you will find as you look through that folder there are 2 files with the name ffmpeg and ffmpeg-original-421
All you have to do is rename ffmpeg to ffmpeg-teen and then name ffmpeg-original-421 to just ffmpeg.
What this causes Mplayer to do is use the original version of ffmpeg instead of the version included in TEENpup 2010 mini beta.
Remember Mplayer is dumb as it only looks for a file named ffmpeg and can't see any other file even if it includes ffmpeg as part of its name.
I hope this helps.

To those having trouble with sound is it just when you try and play an MP4 or all the time?

If it's just with trying to play an MP4 replace ffmpeg as in last post and even try using a version of ffmpeg you know works with your MP4's

Please supply feedback.

John I did the changes of the name but that did not help me get sound on the mp4 fine that 8 other puppies I ahve installed just play out of the box with sound. Too much hazzle and not result so I get back to your mini when this is solved.

I ahve to learn Dpup and Upup and Tpup now and how to get a proper Firefox on the standard version 431
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

How easy would it be to localize TeenPup? Not asking you to do it, incidentally! I might try my hand at it myself, if it's not toooo complicated.

I downloaded the localization package from the Desktop/Localize menu item, but the programs remain in English -- even Abiword and Gnumeric.

Is there any way in TeenPup 2010 to use esmourguit's or MU's localization tools for menus, etc. ?

Many thanks in advance.

Running extremely well as a frugal install. Superb Job.
The ram used is high 'cos I've got Opera running with 5 tabs open, plus a few other items running.
Normally idles at about 66mb ram used.

Just wanted too say how pleased I am with TP2010 and offer my sincere gratitude for all your hard work.
Am about to install on my 701SD - will report findings.

As always, many, many thanks and very best regards - Ray

john biles wrote:Originally I started developing this release of TEENpup for use on my EeePC as I wasn't happy with the choices available at time. I also still wanted TEENpup2010minibeta to be usable for all PC's not just Netbooks. I've decided to release TEENpup2010minibeta even though I'm not 100% happy with it. (More a case of my wanting for TEENpup to be perfect when no Operating System is.) Don't get me wrong it's still a very usable Operating System. I should know as I've used it for a few months now on my 900A EeePC and Desktop. Anyone looking for a fast version of Linux with a good selection of Applications that only takes up about 1.1 Gb of space installed on their EeePC's Hard Drive should give TEENpup2010minibeta a try and judge for themselves.

One small problem some users might find is that TEENpup may not boot itself up Live on a PC with less than 512 Mb of Ram. I've tried to include a good mix of apps and keep the iso under 350Mb's in size, so apps like Open office have been left out due to their size. Lastly while I'm calling this release of TEENpup a beta I have no plans to provide a final or provide bug fixes and solutions to other problems a user might face. I'm basically providing this release of TEENpup to those who want to use it and if anyone finds fixes to bugs feel free to upload them to the forum.
On future releases of TEENpup I plan only to release a new version yearly or longer. My growing family needs have to come first and as TEENpup is a hobby like all hobbies they sometimes have to be put on hold.

Download from here: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/O ... 4760.shtml

Softpedia has requested that any problems with the iso not matching the md5sum please report them here.
Correct md5sum is: 6a91f4c5743f01dd73185fb6fdd9975e TEENpup2010minibeta.iso

Lastly Softpedia will still be hosting TEENpup 2009 Legacy as well.
I've just downloaded this today, and can confirm that it will boot in 384 MB of RAM; the machine I tried it in at my local community centre had this much, and it worked well and looked good. I was unable to get it to boot in 256 MB of RAM (i.e. on my home machine) though, so as you say it's a distro for newer machines.

Thanks for a good job of work anyway.
