Mozilla apps fall back to reading /etc/mime.types and /etc/mailcap.

Thanks, that worked.

FWIW, I dropped Helix player into Quirky and it is MUCH faster at loading PLS and M3U streams than gnome-mplayer.

It looks like I'll have to bring out a "Wary" as well, with rolled-back Xorg.

Sad to say but my Toshiba Tecra 8000 having Neomagic MagicGraph 256AV (NM2200) chipset fails to display anything either with Quirky 1.1rc or Quirky-Retro 1.1rc.
Both Wary 020 and Lupu 500 run well. While waiting for Wary (1.1?) I am trying to do some hacking. I just downloaded neomagic drivers for Xorg 7.4 and 7.5.

PostPosted: Sat 15 May 2010, 16:28    Post subject: quirky 1.1 RC Thinkpad R40 sound and video  
When playing a video from www.youtube.com video and sound are ok.
When playing a mp4 video downloaded with you2pup, video is ok, but there is no sound.
The same for previous downloaded flv video's from youtube.

wmv and mpg seem to play nicely.

avi's are playing a bit chunky.

Setup with SNS isn't etained during boots.
However /etc/simple_network_setup/connections contains the correct configuration data, but the file doesn't seem to be read at boot.

I have just setup a frugal install of qrky104. It's running beautifully, no problems.
Code:
# report-video
VIDEO REPORT: Quirky, version 104

Chip description:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04)

Driver used by Xorg:
intel

Video mode used by Xorg:
Resolution:  Depth 24  Depth: "Display"

May I make a suggestion? Could you include a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf0 in mesa-7.6-q1.pet with:
Code:
Load      "glx"
and
Code:
Load       "dri"
as well as a pinstall with:
Code:
gxmessage -title "Install GLX and DRI" -center -bg orange "Please Rerun Xorgwizard to install GLX and DRI"


I think this would be much less confusing for newbies than having to edit xorg.conf manually.

Thanks, J

PostPosted: Sat 15 May 2010, 16:55    Post subject: quirky, Thinkpad R40, laptop running hot  
I noticed that the laptop is running hot for the last four or so quirkies.
Very often I get the pop-up.
It happens most often when playing video's.

I don't have this with other puppies.

The cups setup wizard apparently does not provide an option for connecting to a Windows printer via smb.


In Quirky, you have to run the Printer Wizard from the Setup menu once to install some patches. The missing smb symlink is one of them.


Yes, I really should get those fixes that are done in /usr/sbin/cups_shell, done earlier, in Woof when building the live-CD. I have made a note of that, hope to fix it for 1.2.

Hi, I like the ability to choose any available display driver instead of probing. I'm looking at the updates to /usr/sbin/xorgwizard for an upcoming Lighthouse release and I'm wondering about the edits labeled #100430.

Line 97: $SUBSTDRV is nv then to replace nvidia don't we want to 'rmmod nvidia' ?

Line 109 $SUBSTDRV is nvidia then to replace nv maybe 'modprobe nvidia' ?


Oops!
I have fixed it in Woof, but too late for 1.1, already uploading it.

Thanks for the help. I have modified the mesa PET package, but the pinstall.sh script makes changes in both xorg.conf and xorg.conf0, so no need to run xorgwizard, just restart X. There is now also a puninstall.sh script that undoes those changes.

Will upload the mesa PET soon -- have broken my rule, will keep the PET name the same.
but will be a couple of hours before I upload it, as currently uploading Quirky 1.1.

The same for previous downloaded flv video's from youtube.


I had a similar problem and it cleared up if one shut down the Firefox or Opera and then played the mp4 again. As soon as I started the FF and went into youtube then the FF owned the sound and mp4 lost it. So a workaround but get the sound back at my place tryit and tell the result? Smile

I guess I am the sole person having tested to use spotify on wine in rc1?
Works good in Q1.00 but crash in rc2 from desktop of X to the prompt of linux. Each time. So I am back in Q1 and not using the latest.

Maybe the reason is that in q1.00 I have nvidia through a pet install while in Q104 it installed it itself during set up and that could be the difference?

Edit

Thanks Barry, I try to do as you suggest and report back today.

Run the Puppy Package Manager and install the full Nvidia package.
