I am using the flashplayer that you can download when you first run seamonkey and have had no problems. I presume it will be the latest edition but I have not noticed a version number for it.

That is good news. I am using the same flashplayer.
I have the ATI driver and a dual core processor that may be the cause (in combi with Flash).

Meanwhile . . . Mick has been compiling programs to populate the Slacko programs (Puppy Program Manager or PPM). So lots to try out. Cool

Tried some more of the softphones here but they needed extra libraries . . .

Hi All

I have a full install of the beta to a usb stick, have updated the repo's and very little will install from Slick Pet or Package manager, just hangs. After about 5 mins the reboot menu does nothing.

I have tried a few usb sticks now so I dont think its a hardware issue, just so you all know. I may do a video for you all so you can see visually what i mean ill post link here when available. Link http://youtu.be/R9cAdB0eScs


Hi lcyos

Interesting (saw video Wink ) ... forum member shinobar reported issues with installing pets on a USB install .. on 2 machines. They happen to have Marvell bridges.. does yours?

I have posted an alternate build of Slacko (The S Experiment) almost identical except the kernel (2.6.39.3, made by Barry). If you get the chance or have the bandwidth it would be interesting to see the result there.

Shino, if you read this, same for you Smile .

Cheers

Where does one look for to know if one have Marwell or not. I recognize that name so maybe me have it too?
Could be on my AOpen or on the HP/Compaq or on the Packard Bell.

Haha poor memory but I know I have had Marwell but not remember where. Hard info says Intel all over the place on this computer

What would life be without CLI capability Smile One only have to learn how to use it. Oh Dear!

Yes thanks then I trust it is either on my AOpen or on the Packard Bell.
I am pretty sure I saw it each time me booted on some computer I used some three years ago.

666philb.. how many have you got???

Does sfs_load find them all? [menu>setup>setup puppy>sfs_load] (It should support up to 500! Shocked )

i'm not at my computer at the mo. But i have about 40ish .sfs files in /mnt/home/ this has only recently happened. And as i said is happening in my other puppy's as well. If it's not some kind of upper limit for the boot manager, maybe there's a dodgy sfs in there.

hi all

just tried #free and got the following results,

mem:

total: 3375104
used: 336512
free: 308592
shared: 0
buffers: 34892

I get exactly the same results with the s experiment

machine has 4gb ram with on board graphics

I thought the kernel would not recognize/use this amount of ram or has 01micko worked his magic again.

confused (again) Rolling Eyes

In the new sound wizard
/usr/sbin/alsawizard
aplay does not play sounds with the extention .au
change the extension to .wav (a nearly identical file exists) and it plays
like so . . .
line 38
Code:
<vbox><button><input file>${AUDIOICON}</input><action>/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks.wav & </action></button></vbox>

No magic, up to 3.5 gig of RAM should be ok.. incidentally I am not a fan of PAE.. if your gear is capable use a 64bit OS Wink

Not entirely true. Some low quality DOTau files certainly do not play with aplay. This is because of the introduction of alsaequal. I have reported it to the developers but as yet no response. A higher quality (say 16bit) DOTau file should play just fine. Also. wavplay is still there in Slacko. It will play 2barks.au, that's what I have called at system startup as a work-a-round.

I prefer the basic striped down feel you have created with slacko and at the moment it seems to have the edge in performance. (and I like it Laughing )

thanks to Mick, Barry and everybody else for all their hard work

edited to add: Mick I know you are very busy at the moment but playdayz is keen to see a woof built 64bit puppy, perhaps that could be the next step for slacko? (just an idea for the future)

Yes.. that would be great! I won't have time for awhile but when I do Woof64 will be somewhere near the top of that list. Wink

Thanks Rob and bigpup for heads-up.
