HI 01micko,
I just logged into your site and figured out that there is tool called "
alien2puppy " I was thinking of using that to convert a 1.6jdk to an sfs file. Will it work.My concern in this is to be able to do java programming, at least in an introductory level using XOpup. We already can do programming in many languages.So far i havent seen a sfs4 file for 1.6jdk which i belive is a missing thing.

Hi Mavrothal,
Downloaded (Edited here) V4 now using it.Unlike before,now i m browsing using firefox.sfs. you tube is not working wel.i downloaded and now playing it .only sound comes. i dont see video even in the downloaded version.In Skype 's case video was ok. but sound is problematic even when i took the skype test call. i hear sound very wel but the issue seemingly in is in the moke or the input process.

Mavrothal,
This is how I checked the skype video call. I kept my wireless router just 2 feet5 away from me and grabbed another laptop.I logged in to both the laptop skype and XOpup skype using different user names and then checked the quality. In that case Skype did work fine and i checked voices also. I didnt get achance to do a skype call with a real second party over a long distance. Perhaps this was the case?
By the way I did the said testing using XOpup-V3.

With Xopup-V4 i could nt yet get a chance to do that test with the laptop and instead tried to connect through a guy in US from Sri lanka. I could see and hear his voice and video but he complained that he didnt hear my voice properly.He was always telling me to slow down with my voice. Even though he didnt hear the voice properly he said that he saw my video clearly.

And on the other hand I couldnt see my own video on the screen even when he could see mine.(Im not very sure about this particular observation of mine)

I tried to do a skype test call also.Even though i could hear the testers voice when I listened to my recorded voice it didnt come right.Voice was like shaky and very speedy .

My results with the downloaded youtube video.
Mplayer-played only the audio with a blank video
Gxine sfs-No video and no audio
No GUi VLC- Audio only
all sfs files were taken from chice pup forum with below link

Note: With Sugar OS and camera activity in video recording, i remember my voice being recorded and played back very well,So inbuilt microphone must be ok ?

Hi Mavrothal,
Ahem you might want to fix the Microphone also buddy.By the way I was just about to ask how you compare our lovely XOpup with the Fedora build for XO-1,which they claim as the Best OS ever for XO! Smile

I have failth that our guys in Puppy world will produce the best OS ever for XOpup. If they could come this far with daunting obstacles,which even made me feel that I might have to abondom the hope of an XOpup, they can surely go a bit further to produce the best OS for XO. Smile

...

And again I wish I could join your effors to build the XO but I lack the expertise but in times to come i will be .... Smile

hopefully...

Hi Mavrothal,
There is another issue with the touchpad curser. Sometimes it doesnt go in the direction we want it to go. I have observed this mostly at times when we open an application and immediately after closing the application.

mic: type "alsamixer -V all" in your terminal and see if any setting is off. To increase sensitivity just turn bias on.
What is the exact problem? Recording should be OK but Skype out was always a bit rough

BTW is there any pet for ALSA GUI?

Touchpad: For first generation XO-1s (with the 3 segment touchpad) the jumping cursor is a perennial issue. Is a hardware problem. That's why they changed it in the second generation XO-1 and the XO-1.5.
When it goes crazy just press the 4 keyboard corner keys, with the "fn" last, to recalibrate.
But look at the bright site, you can activate the wide tablet mode and write with a stylus in this touchbat Very Happy

(just: echo 0|1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/ptmode )

Best OS ever: Yes is the Best OLPC/SugarLabs, Fedora11/Sugar, OS. Wink

It should be in your XO-1 internal NAND. Try either the official os852 or the SugarLabs, Dextrose version (better IMHO).

Check your inbox.. hopefully a pleasant surprise there Wink

( er.. hopefully!!!)

Cheers

EDIT: for alsa gui right click the speaker icon in the tray Wink

"retrovol" window has 2 choices, config and full, Full is for alsa settings, retrovol is fully alsa compliant Wink

Great to see v3 and v4 for XOpup! I am enjoying testing Puppy on my XO.

First, kudos for mavrothal for his daedalian skills and persistence in leading and tracking this effort. And kudos for all other contributors and advocates.

Next, I do like the added 'xo-pup.jpg' screen with its OLPC logo since it builds on the collaboration that make hardware, software and systems work.

For those with the first generation very "jumpy" XO-1 touchpad, there is a bright site Surprised

, it can turn into a wide area tablet.
I thought would be nice to include this option in XOpup, so I made the XOpad.pet.
Download it from the host site, click on it to install it and next time you select the "touchpad configuration" in the "Keyboard/mouse wizard" the selection widget will appear.
Try it out and see if it makes life easier, particularly in drawing or anything that needs fine mouse control.
