Some brief research tells me that SVG does not support hinting. This explains my previous observations. Having said that, the current blue SVG temperature images are fine with or without fontwizard. It would make a worthy addition to the build as it benefits not only those with poor vision but anyone with a small low resolution LCD screen. _________________ Regards ETP Accessibility Pups: -- Magoo -- The Pup With No Name -- MouseCam -- Obedient |

I am not going to try this any time soon. I am very worried now that if I create partitions/format that disk Windows will start to recognise it, get upset and not boot (or worse still says it is a pirate copy because the hardware configuration is different). I know I am being very pessimistic but I don't want to lose anything. I would like to swap the connections on the disks so that they are connected properly but lethargy and confidence prevents me at the moment! |

Just to clarify ETP, I did use those codes like that but they are not the problem. Case matters in Linux/Puppy BUT these boot codes are acted upon in a script, called init, that Barry wrote. It is how Barry's init interprets the codes that is important. I think it was around series 2 Puppy that these codes had to be in upper case but with the advent of Puppy 3 Barry added some code to convert the codes if they were in the wrong case. They can now be input in either lower case or upper case. I'm just a stick in the mud who persists with what what I have always used from day 1! If it aint broke - don't fix it! |

I'm using the new beta now and I must say I'm impressed; it looks like it's shaping up to be a great release. Thanks and well done for your work so far. _________________ Compaq Deskpro Pentium III (866 MHz), 512 MB of RAM, 30 GB hard drive running Puppy 4.20 Deeper Thought, Puppy Legacy OS2, Puppy Legacy OS4 Mini, Absolute 14.05 and AntiX 13.2. |

I like this distribution - it is looking good. A few issues though - the second affecting both pAVrecord and precord. The most important issue first, ffmpeg not recognising 'copy' codec: 1. The provided ffmpeg seems to be broken in that it does not seem to recognise the option -codec copy (the provided ffmpeg reports: unknown decoder 'copy'). pAVrecord http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81332 uses that option to mix audio and video streams without re-encoding. pAVrecord was developed on Slacko-5.3.3 where it all works fine. pAVrecord also works fine in the latest Puppy Precise 5.3.95.1 beta (for the encoders provided there - though the ffmpeg in Precise doesn't unfortunately have libfaac, libxvid, or libx264 enabled). 2. Using arecord to get a simple audio VU meter, isn't displaying correctly. Works in all other puppies including the latest Puppy Precise development. The code used for that simple VU meter in precord (and also in pavrecord):
3. Video container type ogv (recommended since 2007 as the extension name for container holding Theora encoded video + vorbis sound) isn't recognised by the default media player. A mime type issue I guess. _________________ Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit. |

Hello mcewanw
As far as I know, that is not a compile time option. It does seem however that in this version (0.11.1) that the developers have changed the behaviour. A quick search reveals many instances of your concern. You may need a work-around. ffmpeg -h doesn't even fit in a terminal window and has to be redirected to a file, over 1500 lines!
We are shipping with alsa-1.0.26 and again, the developers have changed stuff. From the help:
Yes. I can fix that one.

I'll look into that. The alsa change seems trivial. I hope and presume the change with respect to ffmpeg decoder 'copy' is equally easy to address. I'm surprised that backwards compatibility hasn't been assured by the ffmpeg developers though since the copy option has long been used. Constant changes in usage makes ffmpeg a challenging customer! _________________ Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit. |

@01micko: The ffmpeg error turned out to be trivial. Newer ffmpegs require the copy options just before the output. I'll publish fixed pAVrecord later today. Frustratingly, the alsa VU meter problem has not turned out to be quite so trivial, but I'm working on that and may settle to use the -VU option as a compromise (I prefer the output of the existing method). _________________ Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit. |

Quite the opposite of your first thought! When you get it sorted I will test. At the moment the only alternative for webcam recording is guvcview, which I have compiled and does work but is large and requires large depends, gtk+3 and portaudio spring to mind (and a few others). Thanks EDIT: What exactly is the problem with ogg video? I have a file for testing that has .ogv extension and it plays in gnome-mplayer, produced with ffmpeg-0.8.4.
IIRC, this was an issue in 533. Could you have been mistaken with versions? _________________ Woof Mailing List | keep the faith | |

Sorry, I was testing in various versions. You are correct, ogv files are opening fine in Slacko 5.4 beta - I just checked with the new pAVrecord I'm just building. I'll have to check later which version was giving the problem (assuming I wasn't imagining it...). _________________ Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit. |

Hello everybody, I have just done a reasonable upload so it's time to test the repo. YOU MUST copy the attached file to $HOME/.packages
You may find if you have just been installing packages you need to reboot to clear /tmp (or if you know what to delete from /tmp do it manually). Some packages include scribus and python (many thanks to Jejy69 and a few other packages), umplayer patched, vlc, guvcview, inkscape and more. Please report if dependencies fail to download. DO NOT (as yet) attempt to update the Slacko repo from PPM, I am working on the solution as to not break compatibility with slacko-5.3.3 and earlier (mentioned a few times). Some packages are the old 5.3.3 ones but they should work. Let me know if anything fails due to "symbol lookup error" or similar. I haven't uploaded chromium or iron yet. Soon. I have to tweak packages as the next version will not include seamonkey-solibs, a dep of chromium based browsers. I also refuse to package with deps as this potentially breaks other stuff. Have fun.. (also stay tuned for an updated beta, within 24hrs.. yeah we all know I'll be late!)
