Increase the size of your Mplayer cache.
OTOH, Gnome-Mplayer was not able to see all the tracks of a CD, but pCD player could.

Gnome-Mplayer working fine on my Dell-Latitude D600. Lists all CD tracks, plays streams, mp3's, etc...

Yes increase cache size worked but it still leaves the CD player speeding up and slowing down.
Increasing the cache size made Mplayer go back to taking a long time to start playing a audio stream from the INTERNET.
I know cache size should have an effect but Gnome- Mplayer seems to be real sensitive to the cache size.

so were taking irky110 here?
so change the downloaded you2pup 1.4.gz to you2pup 1.4.pet and package manager does exactly what when you click on the you2pup 1.4.pet? nope that doesnt work so just click the .gz nope that goes nowhere too. what are you people up to?

while all this with you2pup is sorted out one can still save them the by waiting until it has fully loaded and going to tmp and make a copy of that flash file and renaming it with the song or artist like ElvisLetsPlayHouse.mp4 and then one has to shut down the browser to get to hear the sound because the browser hijack the sound.
but sure it maybe is faster if an updated you2pup is used.

If you are saying you are having trouble getting you2pup 1.4 then go here;
http://stashbox.org/v/894983/you2pup-1.4.pet
In the file information click on the file name and it should start a download of the you2pup-1.4.pet.
When downloading choose save to disc.
In Rox file manager-
If you click on the you2pup-1.4.pet file you just downloaded it should install to your system.

It's a PET in Firefox. It looks like your Opera is renaming the file based on its mime type.

Opera has a bug when downloading .pet files from stashbox.org (saves them as .tar.gz). It has problems with .sfs files from distro.ibiblio.org as well (displays gibberish instead of downloading the .sfs) The same 'gibberish' issue also happens when downloading .rar files.
This is a crossplatform Opera MIME bug (happens on both Linux and Windows).
Please report the bug to the Opera Desktop Team Blog ASAP:
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
You2Pup 1.4 installs smoothly in Quirky 1.1 after downloading with Opera, renaming .tar.gz to .pet
in the download dialog window, saving to /mnt/home and clicking the .PET package to install.
By default, You2Pup downloads the 480p version of any YouTube video (link) you drag into the URL box.
Attaching a '&fmt=xx' string after the URL will not override You2Pup's 'hardcoded' 480p download.
If you want higher or lower quality videos, you'll have to edit the script manually.
NOTE: if you change the fmt value to 22 or 37 in the download script to download HD videos, you won't be able to download 80% of the YouTube videos out there. Most videos are still in 360p or 480p format.
Someone needs to edit that script and add a quality selection box that changes (overrides) the fmt value for that session only.
fmt=18 for 480p
fmt=22 for 720p
fmt=37 for 1080p
and fmt=?? for 360p
We need to make You2Pup as good as (or even better better than) the 'YouTube Video Downloader' for Windows. It's a sad thing to see that it's much easier to do stuff under Windows.
CUPS in Quirky 1.1
Posted: Tue 18 May 2010, 04:34

I have tried to install printer through CUPS, I am getting following message.
While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://localhost:631/
The following error was encountered:
* Connection to 127.0.0.1 Failed
The system returned:
(111) Connection refused
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.
How to install the printer in Quirky 1.1 ?.
Congratulates !
Please note that the wall paper of Quirky 1.1 is very good and IMAP in Sea monkey 2.0.4 is working fine. No problem in accessing LADP . In SM 1.8, this is not possible. SM2.0.4 mail is accessing my Office IMAP very nicely. So please make SM 2.0.4 is permanent browser cum mail client.
your attention is requested in Universal Installer because, in Quirky installation, other previous versions of Quirky Installation as Puppy. It is not distinguishing between Quirky & Puppy version. All of the installation as Puppy. Wrong installation ( overwrite) is happening due to this. Please correct. it. Also note that many places Puppy is mentioned in place of Quirky OS. I agree, both are cousins. You may also note that Google chrome is working very nicely. !! Once again I congratulate Shri. Barry for providing a wonderful OS.
Please provide work around for my printer setup.

Open a terminal and type:
Is the CUPS scheduler running?
What browser are you using to open the CUPS web interface?

So downgrading the XServer to 1.7.1 improved the experience for users with ATI (Radeon) cards too. That's nice to see
And why would you want to use 16-bit color depth anyway?

Dear Sir
I have both SeaMonkey and Google chrome. While launching CUPS, the SM is starting. As per your advise, I have typed commands, and I am getting "scheduler is running".
What next Sir
