Having a few issues with HDMI display on my TV, native 1360x768.
The (DOS BIOS) boot screen shows, the Puppy boot screen shows, but the booting commands give 'Mode Unsupported'. Not a problem until trying to change the res. with CRL-ALT-BKSPCE ! Not able to do the xorgwizard/etc. blind. Tried a coupe of cheat codes unsuccessfully - anything else to try? Ta.

I found that get proper video resolution you 'CAN NOT' have the TV plugged in when you start Puppy... 'any Puppy!'

I corrected the problem by loading Puppy 'First' then plugging in the TV, that cured it for me about 90%.

Now, that is using a desktop, if you use a laptop or notebook, there are a few .pet programs, (I believe in utilities, multimedia etc., section, not sure exactly where I saw them it's been awhile) that allow you to setup TWO different resolutions at the same time. Mind you, that's laptop, notebook ONLY.

Hope that helps!

1. Using Luci-001.003.iso
With isolinux.cfg in the ISO file altered to include pmedia=ataflash...
And booted using "live" CD-RW, and lucisave.3fs+SFS filepair held [in a folder in the root folder] on ext3 partition on internal HDD.

PROBLEM
2. Videos at Youtube won't play. Sad

(a) Used flash_install-0.1.pet to install the latest flashplayer [version doesn't show in PPM!]

3. I have ghostery installed, and ALL listed elements blocked.
Disabling ghostery, apparently has no beneficial effect.

4. Any idea how to fix?

@Terryphi
1. It's not a problem with the hardware...Youtube videos play in all 6 of my other Puppies.
However...

2.
(a) I uninstalled "flashplayer" by clicking on it in the PPM.
It remained listed in the PPM. Confused

Then clicked the "Save" icon [1st save of the session] to save that uninstall.
Then...
(b) Installed your "flash-player-10.3.183.18.pet"...
It was shown installed beside "flashplayer" in the PPM.
Then clicked the "Save" icon [2nd save of the session] to save that install.
(c) Tried to run a video at Youtube, but still no-go! Sad

OK. One more idea:

Have you checked your FlashPlayer settings to see that local storage is allowed? Some sites will not work if you do not allow local storage. Maybe YouTube is one of them. YouTube saves data locally and an entry appears for domain s.ytimg.com .

LATER: No, that is not the answer. YouTube works for me even if local storage is blocked.

1. My Firefox browser is version 11.0

2. Just now installed Google_Chrome-17-Lucid.pet [filename copied and pasted] and that plays Youtube videos just fine. Very Happy

Your link says it's 18, but the file says it's 17.
Now when I click on the "Browse" icon on the desktop Chrome opens instead of Firefox.
Not sure whether I like that.
Never used Chrome before.
It seems faster than Firefox. Smile

SUCCESS!

Presently...

1. Firefox version 11.0 installed, and set as default, and opening when I click the "Browse" icon on desktop.
Google-Chrome-18 also installed.

2. Youtube videos now playing OK in both Firefox and Google-Chrome.
All working well and looking good.

Hi
I did install the French version from Petihar to make possible that my very old people in France can use Puppy with my help by telephone Idea

but I am not able to use it myself on my desk computer Crying or Very sad

. it is the only one version of puppy under about 10 different versions I have on this hard disk making this problem:

the first «first start» happens without problem

I let search my equipment in commando line

it proposes my a low resolution and I commute to my real high resolution 1920 x 1080 pixel.

X starts and I can work a long time so.

at the next start (with or without save file) black window and message «digital power saving mode» on the screen. nothing to do to better it or commute to an other char mode console to end without hard ware reset. only hard ware reset possible.

my PC:

High-resolution monitor 1980 x 1080 pixel connected with the high resolution plug in

DELL Optiplex SX 270 with high resolution connector and following internal equipment:
Intel Celeron 2,2 Ghz,
643048 kB Ram
Intel chips set 82865G/82801/82540

I did try with and without file zl001376.sfs, no difference.

Hi
It is now certain: the warm restart is not possible or very difficult! I have to turn off the PC completely and it is dangerous for the file if I forget: very long bad nodes message by start. It is not operable so...

PS: pls if a solution is known, inform the forum user «petihar» what his has to do concerning his French puplet!

Hi

Happy to report that NFS works, the same as the 528 series.

Whilst browsing Barry's blog I came across this passage.

Hmmm...
1. Yet again...
Firefox-11.0 is not playing videos at Youtube! Sad

Flashplayer fails the test at this page.
Google-Chrome passes the test.

2. Tried disabling all the Firefox add-ons, and restarting Firefox, but that didn't fix it.

3. Any ideas what might be causing this, and how to fix it so the fix is permanent?
