With elroy's help, I've edited the package chooser script to ask if you want to update the package list or not before opening the package manager. Save time and bandwidth.

See the original post here:

Briefly, I can't get any music playing. Dnld all the gstreamer pets I could find. I recall in another Linux, I dnld gstreamer-utilities and that fixed things. Well, all I can offer you guys is to maybe save all your 'lina pets in a folder so not to repeatedly dnld them (when reinstalling, as I've done often).

To summarize, In Multimedia I have Clementine, Parole, Musique, Goggles, and Mp3splt-gtk...and the default audio-mixer. I guess the good news is I finally got my older brother to look into Puppy (only took a year).

An exact message from Parole when I drop an mp3 file:
Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

I don't have the Clementine, etc etc.
But do have Pmusic.
Had downloaded (& stored in /sda2/sources/ ) streamripper-1.64.6 and other stuff like ffmpeg etc

Edited 12/28/2012: Carrying on with the sfs rolling while building out the Dell D610 for a new home. Amazingly, using pmusic ( I used v3.07), ogle, ffmpeg, streamripper and lame ( I don't always carry it in the base) it gives quite a solid cd/dvd/streaming audio with playlists package. ... for 2.7Mb.

Just for reference I did run the full Carolina on this machine, it is my sole Dothan pentium M, and I'd say it's a bit much for this class machine. Some fairly random lockups and behavior I just don't see with 'lina on them. Not software related IMHO, just pushing the old dears to hard. 'lina, even with a 30Mbish officestuff + opera + pidgin sfs and the small music sfs on board just flies right along. One size doesn't fit all, but two seem to.

Cheers,


The pmusic solution probably doesn't fit everyone, but really works quite well for streaming audio and cds, is small, handles playlists, and doesn't suffer from dependency hell. It's also being very actively maintained and improved. I'm using it on my 'linas for older dears' builds now.

Wow, I like this 'lina-lite. I mean wow it's very cool. I might use this as a base for a complete system recovery puppy. (would like to see mac filesystem support though.)

Although the interface is like 100% bland, it's very very nice puppy to have. and it's great to have in my collection.

This puppy is very amazing and hope you can still continue work on it.

(the interface being bland doesn't matter to me, this is still amazing.)

EDIT: I am going to use this for testing of my packages here and there.

EDIT2: As I noted in my thread of my Puppy .pet repo, when I install firefox on 'lina-lite I see that there are some libraries missing. Luckly it does not effect the operation of firefox at all if they aren't there.

I too like 'lina-lite.
You want to see bland?
I will boot 'lina-lite and try to paste a screen-shot.

Shocked

I tested my updated firefox pkg and it works (with same libs missing). I still have no internet connection though. My netbook's wifi isn't recognized. I can use the ethernet on my netbook, but I have to get a really long cord for that.

I don't know what module it's lacking. I know it's Broadcom though, but none of those modules recognized it.

There's a pet in the repo for Broadcom - try this and see if it helps - http://smokey01.com/carolina/pet_packages-carolina/broadcom_sta_v5.100.82.112_patched_x86_32-k3.2.8_carolina.pet

That pet won't work on the 3.2.13-c kernel....

See http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76495&start=8 for a more recent solution.

I have a frugal install of Lina-lite 0.0.5 non-PAE.

When I reboot, it seems fast until "Requesting IP for Eth0" at which point there is lots of hard drive activity and the mouse 'freezes' or becomes jittery.

Once the hard drive calms down, the mouse becomes normal. And there is the 'non' symbol over the frisbee status icon. However, the intenet works just fine.

This is what I have loaded:
clarf_pnethood-0.6.8.1-carolina (recognizes computers on network, but does not present me with login dialogue box)

jpilot-1.8.1-i486

midori-0.4.6-i486 (I have the icon in the internet menu, but nothing happens when I click it)

QuiteRSS-0.12.0 (I have the icon in the internet menu, but nothing happens when I click it.)

glib-networking-2.30.1-i486

gnutls-2.8.5-i486

webkit-inspector-1,8.0

qt-4.8.0

firefox-16.0.1 (working and using!)

Any hints as to what I should try would be appreciated.

OK, a fresh install:

Eth0 is down.

Execute frisbee and all is well.

Install Midori-> It works after adding qt-4.80 and geoclue-0.12-i486

Reboot takes forever... much, much longer than the initial boot.
During reboot
Mouse "freezes" and is jittery. Lots of hard drive activity.

When the "non" symbol finally covers the frisbee icon, the hard drive is at rest, the mouse works, and the internet works just fine.

Any ideas?

I've added a different version of Midori to the repo, midori-0.4.3-i386. This is a non-static build that seems to be a bit more stable than the statically compiled midori-0.4.6 version also in the repo.

If you choose to install this pet it will try to install qt-webkit as a dependency. Click cancel when it asks if you'd like to install it, and instead choose webkit-1.6.3-shared-i486.pet from the Package Manager window that pops up.

Thanks, Elroy. I've used Opera almost exclusively for many years, but will try the Midori on another computer, which has more room for files.

I solved the slow boot problem (8 minutes) by switching to etho1. It only takes about 2:30 from the isolinux splash to acquiring the internet.

I will revisit etho0 someday.

Thanks Elroy, for the non-static Midori build. I installed it and it worked great for as long as I tested it.

When I rebooted, it could no longer resolve web addresses.

etc/resolv.conf read:
# Generated by dhcpcd
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
#/etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

and

etc/ppp/resolv.conf had the same text:
# Generated by dhcpcd
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
#/etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

Sometimes I use Wary 5.93. But Carolina 002 non-pae is still my daily operating system.

I wonder if the writing is on the wall - that I should get a new machine that can deal with pae?
