OK, I will compile it.

I do not know a thing about that kind of software on Linux (never had a use of it before the Raspberry Pi). I did try all the servers you include to be sure of error.
I am using RPI2 as my desktop; switched across from Raspbian as soon as BarryK added LibreOffice to his Quirky 8.0.25 alpha (thank you for this Barry). Quirky is an excellent and full featured desktop environment. There are other advantages of Quirky/puppy/fatdogARM like being able to easily mount/unmount various USBsticks on the rpi. Plus all the great info on this forum.
I had same issue as you with timesync not working. I fixed it by the following (although I don’t know which one did the trick!):
1. Install these two extra packages (and all their dependencies – do this via the Puppy Package Manager ("install" icon on the desktop opens the PPM):
ntp_4.2.8p4+dfsg
fake-hwclock_0.9
2. Reboot pi and then open Menu>System>Boot Manager configure boot up. Click on the “..services to run at boot..

Thanks for posting all the necessary steps. Unfortunately, in my case the connection never happens. My wifi driver is listed and loaded.don570 wrote:Here is how I connected to a home network , linux or Windows.
Plug in my USB wifi adaptor to pi2 board. Fortunately my adaptor allows hot pluging.
Right click on network tray icon to configure the settings.
Choose Barry's Simple Network Setup
I was surprised to see my driver was listed 'carl9170' (see image)
Click wlan0 button.
A list of networks available is shown.
Choose your home wifi network and security protocol(WPA) and password of your home wifi network.
The connection should take about 15 seconds.

It seems that this might fix it:BarryK wrote:Oh, just now testing 8.0.98 on the Pi3, OpenMAX hardware accelerated video is not working, only get sound.
I will try again with the Pi2. It was working on the Pi2, but that was version 8.0.27 with some improvements, and perhaps different firmware from 8.0.98.
Getting distinctly heavy for a little RPi guy to handle at ~360Mb .img ! Doing all that singing & dancing costs in terms of real estate. Not to mention the need of watching the heat dissipation/install optional heatsink. Strikes me there's room for a slim-Quirky ~150Mb, perhaps with extra careful app selection and no default options, just PPM? Who's the clever guy on this suggestion? or will we have to leave it to the maestro again?Version 8.0.98 is uploaded

Yes, I found that woofQ was running 'ldconfig' too soon in the build, before /opt/vc/lib was installed. Fixed.BarryK wrote:It seems that this might fix it:BarryK wrote:Oh, just now testing 8.0.98 on the Pi3, OpenMAX hardware accelerated video is not working, only get sound.

Open a terminal, type:
# ldconfig
# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/vc/bin
# simplevlc
That last line will run SimpleVLC. Choose "OpenMAX" video output, then play a video, it should play full-screen.
Did you run "ldconfig" in a terminal first?DavidS wrote:8.0.98 is great. Though so far I have not yet gotten VLC to play video yet. I can get to the first frame, though that is it so far, and yes I have the gpu_mem=256 on my config.txt.
This is on a Raspberry Pi 3B. I am wondering if it has trouble with the hdmi_drive=2 and hdmi_group=2 settings, needed for my monitor. I also have hdmi_mode=23 (1280x768 in hdmi_group=2).
Yeah, I was aiming for approx equivalence with Raspian, in terms of out-of-the-box functionality. So small size took a back seat.DavidS wrote:It is easy to remove extra packages in Puppy Linux, one of its great qualities.Sage wrote:Getting distinctly heavy for a little RPi guy to handle at ~360Mb .img !

And ~500MB on disk makes this one of the smallest Distros for the RPi (not as small as the x86 puppies I remember weighing in under 90MB). I think the biggest part of that is Open Office, i think that is something like 150MB by itself, and I do prefer AbiWord.
Red light is supposed to stay on. It sounds like you may have an SD Card going bad, have you tried with a new SD Card?raffy wrote:I can probably keep an xz'd Libreoffice in a USB drive and add it to Quirky Xerus later...
My tests of the 8.0.25 and 8.0.98 both involved corrupted background image, lost icons at next boot (PuppyPin reports an error in line2). While booting, EXT4-fs is reported to have errors. It could be that shutdown is incomplete? The board's red light is on all the time after shutdown.
I have managed to get videos to play, though no sound on my system, followed the instruction of using ldconfig, and exporting the path, still no sound at all in VLC.BarryK wrote:Did you run "ldconfig" in a terminal first?DavidS wrote:8.0.98 is great.

I have tested on both Pi2 and Pi3, OpenMAX hardware accel works.
Test with a low resolution video at first, such as 480p, anything under 720p.
I tested with this one, that I had previously downloaded:

Ah, that is something that we need to test that it still works -- look in the Internet menu, there is a YoutubeDL downloader app.
