OK Houston, I have a problem, and I've had it since 430 actually, I just always forget to report it, since I'm usually in my 421.. sorry

Whenever trying to play any audio, it turbo-repeats chunks of it, progressing very slowly, and also slows down my USB mouse.
The audio can then be "killed" and dies out eventually (the introductory "Puppy bark" also loops crazily until I close the intro screen), but the mouse remains slow until reboot (restarting X doesn't help). The touchpad is unaffected.
This happens (at least) on my lappy 1.. gonna try to test the other machines soon (sometime tomorrow, I hope).

dawg,
I wonder... as an experiment, blacklist those hsf* kernel modules.
You can do that in the BootManager.

Hi Barry.. No luck.. but while at it, I also went blacklisting some other modules later, of which blacklisting b43 resulted in the mouse being slow already on startup.

Incidentally! - I've also been getting a message Disabling IRQ #5 at bootup right after the Loading kernel modules...
I guess this could be related..

I'm attaching the logs now, if it helps any..


GTG now, BB tomorrow-ish..

burniso2cd fix for all Puppy 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3

#92 Post by rerwin »

tlchost, et al,
Regarding the burbiso2cd fix to delay verification for 15 seconds:
Would this also work with previous 4.x versions of Puppy?
The answer is not simple, which is why it took me so long to respond. The fix provided in this thread is appropriate for all Puppys based on 4.3.0. (It is now built into 4.3.1.) For 4.1.2- and 4.2.1-based puppys I have provided retrofitted versions in the relevant threads for those versions. Here are the links to them:
Puppy 4.1.2: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 306#352306
Puppy 4.2.1: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 299#352299

zmixer stuck

#93 Post by pavl »

I saw this reported as a bug for 4.3.1, but is it one? I only have the problem on one machine.

On my newest machine (Acer Aspire 5315, Intel Celeron) I can't get the sound in to work. Zmixer just won't allow to increase mic in, line in or cd, eventhough in alsamixer it works. On al the other machines I run puppy I didn't have this problem.

If somebody found a solution yet I would be very gratefull I he/she would let me know howto.

And for the rest: Puppy Linux 4.3.1 rocks!
