Hi gnomic, try to make frugal install and then add nomodeset parameter to menu.lst.gnomic wrote:Hmmm, posted this a couple of days ago - but where did that post go? Grits teeth and tries again. I have run this iso (alphaos4) on a couple of laptops with radeon video. In both cases the system booted but was unusable as X was a mess of blobs. Wouldn't switch to a console, and I didn't see a point during boot where a kernel parameter could be added. I guess this is a 'no modeset' situation. The only way out was to power cycle. Compaq V2000 with Radeon XPress and a ThinkPad R40 with Radeon Mobility. Any suggestions about this? AlphaOS would likely go well on these machines, but sadly this problem means I may never know.

Re: Network printing works
Hey smil99, great news for printing but really all credits should go to rcrsn51smil99 wrote:Hi all, especially rcrsn51 and simargl,
Happy to report that printing works in alphaOS after installing rcrsn51's printing package and then using ppet to install printer drivers for my Canon MP640 all-in-one printer. Peasyscan also works over the network. For the records, I downloaded canon_mp640-3.20.pet and cups-bjnp-1.0.pet from:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 110#644110
Thanks guys.
My next wish is to see openshot in the alphaOS package manager
Cheers.
For openshot you can try to make package yourself with spkg -a openshot
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm ... /openshot/
pygoocanvas and mlt-python-bindings seems like new dependencies (not in repository)
Cheers!
hi i have ati 4850, and i do not believe that radeon driver is loading i have 1920x1200 monitor but highest available 1600x1200 (screen is stretched)
radeon does not show in lsmod
also can you please add 'carl9170-fw' ? or maybe use latest linux-firmware (carl9170 has been added to mainline git)? Currently the module loads, but there is no firmware installed!

Can you confirm that this is the missing firmware https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/carl9170-fw/, in that case I will add it for next version size is 12KB
For radeon xorg driver you can check /var/log/Xorg.log and see what's used there.

ffplay
yeah right. why I have ffplay? I think because ffplay requires SDL during compilation process. I add "-- enable-nonfree" because I will not be distributing the results of this remaster.simargl wrote: So with ffplay you could play wma, and I don't have ffplay binary at all I see you added --enable-nonfree but with that we'd break some law I think

Hello ndrancs,
are those modules needed for QEMU virtual machine, then they should be in separate package
http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/h ... uires.html
Instead of QEMU I use virtualbox. earlier uploaded sfs module to sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/files

Re: newbie question ?
It will work in next version, new compiled ffmpeg package now has that binary. Did you try YaRock, that is really great program: audio, radio player and media library all in under 1 Mb packageArefacti wrote:Hello,

Sauerbraten build script
Cube 2: Sauerbraten is a free multiplayer & singleplayer first person shooter, the successor of the Cube FPS. [/size]
Sauerbraten package is 550MB so it's too big for upload, but if you want to test it you can make package using build scripts from attachment bellow:
1) extract archive and copy two folders sauerbraten and sauerbraten-data to /mnt/home/data/spkg/def-scripts
2) type:
spkg -c sauerbraten
spkg -c sauerbraten-data
3) now you should have 2 packages in /mnt/home/data/spkg/packages; change to that folder, open terminal and type:
spkg makesfs
4) load new sfs-module, and install sdl_extra package from repository
