Amarok audio devices
Hi Jim,
In KDE4, System Settings | Multimedia | tick 'Show advanced devices' | select and Defer as desired | Apply.
If that doesn't work, make a backup copy of '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc', then edit it directly. I think you can remove the desired device by changing 'initialPreference=30' to a lower? number or changing 'deleted=false' to 'deleted=true'.
Hope that helps,
TazOC

Hi tazok,
Using KDE4, System Settings | Multimedia | tick 'Show advanced devices' | select and Defer as desired | Apply is how I discovered the driver names. The selection hasn't worked for me.
I edited '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc' as you suggested. It didn't work, so I went out to a prompt and ran alsaconf, when I returned to the desktop, it still didn't work. Checked '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc' and discovered that it had been automatically reset so the manual edits didn't stay. I then changed the value from 30 to 20 and rebooted. It is now working, a recheck of '/root/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc' shows initialPreference=20 is still there.
Rebooted again, and now it doesn't work. This is weird because the welcome and exit audio is working. Somehow, Amarok continues to try to use the wrong driver. Still need to find the driver location so I can disable the incorrect driver.
Thanks,
Jim

fix-phonon
Jim, I looked at the Amarok configuration files, but couldn't find a solution there. I think the kernel module snd_hda_intel is used and you could try removing it in a terminal with 'rmmod snd_hda_intel' but I'm guessing that either won't help or will break all of your audio until you restart it with 'modprobe snd_hda_intel'.
If you succeeded in editing the phonondevicesrc file, why don't we make a copy of that working version, say phonondevicesrcFIXED, then use it to overwrite the original at startup by adding the following code to '/etc/rc.d/rc.local':If that doesn't take then KDE4 must be updating the file at logon so we could make a script in /Autostart with a delay. To do that just make a copy of another script like qps-tray, name it say 'fix-phonon', edit the contents like this:

I installed the base final version but there are some problems.
The LXDE wm does seem to start when I select this in the JWM menu, but the panel doesn't show. Also, the background isn't that what is shown at the start of the thread. Wbar doesn't start either. The desktop doesn't look even close to the screen shots.
Any ideas?

I compared Puppy 4.30 with LHP 4.43a and both have 3 modules in that folder and are the same versions dated 1 Sept 09. Can you clarify?pemasu wrote:I got it working by using puppy 4.3 drivers and changing them here:

jur,
This thread is for LHP 4.43a, which has the new background by Jasmac and a fix for wbar in LXDE. (Edit /Startup/wbar, inserting '-above-desk' into the exec line like this:
Code: Select all
exec /usr/bin/wbar -above-desk -jumpf 0 -pos top -nanim 3 -zoomf 1.5 -idist 7 -isize 42 -bpress -balfa 50 &

Wireless Wlan iwlagn problem clarification
I got constantly error getting wlan up. Iwconfig wlan up announced error all the time. I checked that I was using right driver. So I chanced drivers in the folder and after that wlan worked.

Re: fix-phonon
Sorry about the delay in checking this out. Unfortunately nothing worked. The only way I've succeeded in getting sound with Amarok is to exit to a prompt, run alsaconf, and reboot. It will work properly until I reboot again. I believe that something is happening in the /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start script to cause this.tazoc wrote:Jim, I looked at the Amarok configuration files, but couldn't find a solution there.

Please don't spend any more time trying to help me solve this. Amarok is working.

You're right, I'll work on that for the next release. You can click on 'File System', then on the last icon, 'Trash'.bignono1 wrote:There is no icon for the recycle bin on the desktop.
KDE has its own recycle bin, separate from ROX-Filer's. For KDE4, click K-Menu | Favorites | Dolphin, then on the left-hand pane, Trash.

vlc media player with the base iso does not handle codecs ok
VLC didnt open xvid packaged movies, so there is something wrong with the avcodecs. I installed vlc-1.0.0-rc4-i686.pet and the appropriate patch. After that new vlc worked ok. Xvid AVI:s opened nicely

openoffice-3.1.1-sfs4.sfs
I created from the previous openoffice-3.1.1 version sfs4 version for lighthousepup and it seems to work fine.
It installs from the bootup using the bootupmanager

TazOC,
Super job as usual.
Something is broken with Amarok though. Clicking on the icon tries to start it, but all you see is a quick blink on the panel bar (KDE4). Typing "amarok" returns " -bash: amarok: command not found".
Otherwise everything that I've checked in the KDE4 desktop works fine.
Thanks again,
Jim

Hi Jim,
That's strange, it works here. Try 'amarok1' in a terminal. I kept 'amarok' reserved for v.2 but so far it doesn't work, hence the 'not found'. If that works, try Amarok 1.4.10 in the Multimedia Menu. Also see if Amarok works in KDE3, please.
Thanks,
TazOC

TazOC,
I get the following message:
-bash-3.00# amarok1
Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrAmarok:
Amarok is taking a long time to load! Perhaps something has gone wrong?
EDIT: You posted as I was editing this post. I always start with a clean pup_save. Amarok is working with KDE3.5, however, I did get an error message that was to quick to catch, some file not supported. It is playing my itunes collection fine.
Later I will download Mariner and KDE again and see if that will help with KDE4. It'll probably be tomorrow before I can followup though.
Thanks,
Jim

Ok, Amarok1 is part of the KDE SFS, might want to check the md5sums on both your Mariner and KDE SFS. (I started with a clean pup_save here.)
