8-bit.. weird, as you can see it got put in, maybe it went to devx? I'll fix it.

jim3630 .. can you check and see if /etc/asound.conf exists and if so are the contents consistent with your choice? (try xine-ui in ppm, let me know if it's ok)

666philb, sorry , it will be in, alsaconf is a must. (ok, found woof bug, getopt will be in)

eternal-sunshine, just shecked "cloud", fully working here Confused Was you browser minimised? Sometimes some browsers in some situations don't maximise when something is called externally.

Stripe, the xz compressed devx downloaded for me in 5 mins using seamonkey. I always use wget normally. The easiest way is to drag the link directly to a Rox folder, voila! Wget just starts.

tasmod.. is zdump part of the psync package? If not then it's awol too. Sad (ok, it's on devx)

Trouble is zdump is redirected to devx.. I hacked 3builddistro... should be ok.

Still a real mystery about scanpci.. it's there in packages-slacko complete Confused . I made a template, maybe that will work, certainly a woof bug.

Template for modules-init-tools and util-linux are now fixed (lsmod bug, not that any body saw that one Wink and getopt bug)

For woofers I have scripted the fixes, will post later.

Cloud now working okay. You were correct... it was a browser issue.

I had installed Chromium and although I said I didn't want it as the default browser it seemed to have set itself as default anyway. And to make matters worse it wasnt working either. Hence no cloud. Tried to uninstall Chromium in PPM but wouldnt work. This was chromium-16.0.881-slacko.pet obtained from slickpet by the way.
Sorry to trouble you.

Also installed to a laptop using SiS chipset and the trackpad is no longer slow with this version.

Many thanks

Now downloaded Opera from slickpet and this doesn't show in Change Defaut Browser window in the tray.

Where can I manually edit the choice of browsers in the change default list?

Thanks

I think I have found the problem.
I examined /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d and in particular lines 517 to 527.
I then copied them without a call to save to the pupsave and added a short sleep line.
Evidently the program id for yaf-splash is not being got correctly because it does not get killed as intended.

Maybe one of our members can make sense of this.

Code:

#! /bin/bash
  yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -placement top -text "Saving RAM to 'pup_save' file..." &
  YAFPID=$!
sleep 0.5  # My added line
#  sync
#  nice -n 19 /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy

  kill $YAFPID


Ok... I'm definitely missing something Confused

Hers's the lines from stock RC2 pup_event_frontend_d
Code:
savepuppy_func() { #called every 4 seconds.
 if [ -f /tmp/snapmergepuppyrequest ];then #by request.
  rm -f /tmp/snapmergepuppyrequest
  #yaf-splash -font "8x16" -outline 0 -margin 4 -bg orange -placement top -text "Saving RAM to 'pup_save' file..." &
  yaf-splash -bg orange -placement top -close never -text "Saving RAM to 'pup_save' file..." &
  YAFPID=$!
  sync
  nice -n 19 /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy
  kill $YAFPID
 fi
}


You can see the comment. In fact that is the only instance of "yaf-splash -font" in the whole script. None at all in snapmerge-puppy.

Correction: there other "yaf-splash -otheroptions -font" calls, all commented out.

Yes. And the bug is at /usr/bin/gtkdialog-splash in line 25-26.
Code:
  eval "/usr/X11R7/bin/yaf-splash ${FIXEDPARAMS}"
  exit

It should be:
Code:
  eval "exec /usr/X11R7/bin/yaf-splash ${FIXEDPARAMS}"

But the gtkdialog-splash in the Wary-511-01q is better solution.

01micko

/etc/asound.conf does exist and shows:
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 3

xine-ui from the ppm will not play avi.
it did in other distros.

now error: lacks codex XviD (Null).
but does output the sound correctly to the tv.

gnome-mplayer from the menu still will not save correct output to the tv
even given the asound.conf file.

although xine did output sound to the tv
think the default settings in asound.conf are incorrect. should not be pcm but HDMI

tried /etc/asound.conf:

defaults.intel[HDA intel].card 0
defaults.HDMI 0 [HDMI 0].device 3

but did not work.
-------
reverted to
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 3
--------------------------------------

01micko

checked in exprimo 5x9 where multi-sound card works.

/etc/asound.conf shows:
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 3

That one line modification works just fine for me. And it allows the custom font to be used whereas the one from Wary does not.

I personally will be using your script with your modified one line.
Thank you for sorting that out.

Oh, yes. I did test it and it works fine with the modified line.
I left the "exit" in line 26, and only modified line 25.

Ok, so it's a bug in gnome-mplayer or even mplayer. It's way too late to recompile those now. Only suggestion is to try either, smplayer, umplayer or vlc (standalone) and see if they work.

If not release will be delayed by several weeks, I've gotten way too busy in real life, timing couldn't be worse Rolling Eyes Sad

EDIT! jim3630.. I will post an older gnome-mplayer, I urgently need to know if it works, it does save the config
http://brainwavedesigncentral.net/micko01/stuff/puppy/spup/pet_packages-spup/gnome-mplayer-1.0.2-i486.pet

EDIT2: actually gmtk, a new dep for gnome-mplayer requires gconf to save configs properly, way too bloated to put in Sad . I really don't like the way gnome-mplayer has gone, the 1.02 version posted should work ok, After that gnome 3 became the focus..

I did a frugal install, booted up, shut down, and saved an encrypted (ext2) save file. The next boot showed a kernel panic.

If I save with no encryption, the next boot is fine.

This was the same in RC1 and I waited in hope it would be resolved later.

Here is the bootloader info:

menuentry "slacko_529" {
recordfail
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7cd04108-7100-41b2-8d04-467fdb9760d2
linux /00_puppy/slacko_529/vmlinuz pmedia=ataflash pfix=copy psubdir=00_puppy/slacko_529
initrd /00_puppy/slacko_529/initrd.gz
}

TIA.
