4-stroke.

I am in another puppy now so I log out reboot and take a look.

wow I have never looked up there. Didn't have imagination enough that there existed something like that there.

But it didn't seem to get applied to the firefox. It still don't play svtplay.se

but it poorly do play tv4play.se but the very slow version that some puppy have.

I have not tested the mp4 and .avi yet. I rebooted just in case that was needed but it did not help.

Maybe another video player is associated with those things in Firefox? Where can one check this?

Svtplay.se says one should have flash.

Is that not installed? How does one do such?

A badly designed site then. The same for TV4play.se.
Not normal that the browser (SeaMonkey 2.0.3 in my case)is thrown out of memory.

But they work out of the box in some puppies so it is not anything odd about them.

I guess it is more the copyright thing. they sense your IP is not Sweden and that is why you can not test them.

Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins

dpup does have flash. Try disabling flashblock.

That is not a problem. They may sense the ip and give a warning message or something like this. Deny access to the site is OK also. But having a browser being forced out of memory is an evil thing to do and is of bad taste.

I'm using a frugal install of 484 Beta 4 with no added codecs , just the regular Firefox and I can access svtplay.se with no problems.Can't actually get the content because I'm in the US but it appears to only require flash.HTH.

Then I have to spend a day tomorrow trying to get the flash thing going then which just works in most other puppies.

I just tried the svtplay.se site again. I got it to work with a live dpup session. But there is something funny going on with flashblock.

Nooby, sometimes the video doesn't start and there's just an empty square where the video is supposed to be, right?

What you have to do is click on the "f" looking thing with the red x under it, in the toolbar, so that the x changes to a green dot. Then refresh the page and the video should start.

4-stroke, you are bright indeed.

My dim or dull skull had not enough imagination to think that it was flashbloc that blocked it. Yes now it play.

But this player works not as the one on Seamoneky does.

This one have severe delay in the rendering so it look like waves on the ocean. One get seasick looking at its wavy motion while the seamonkey in the pup431std play it without any waves and delays.

So this is really sad, almost unusable.

But thanks for pointing out what caused it to be blocked.

Dpup was my big hope. Does every Firefox with flash activated behave like this?

@Shankargopal- I have a copy of xerrs for you, but forum wont allow me to attach it, nor will pm. I'll have to email it to you. Please pm your email address to me.

I edited the config file (had to rapidly learn vi), and then xwin restarted X.

EDIT: Shankar- do you need the whole file, or just the "ring" part? The whole file is long, nearly 200 lines, that's a lot to cut and paste into a forum post.

gerry, you can trick the system by adding one of the allowed extensions for upload and telling in the comments to remove that added extension first.

@Shankar- attached file is my xerrs file. Note it is not really a zip file, remove the .zip before you open it.

Hi

Just giving dpup-484beta4-2.6.30.5 a go on an Acer Aspire 5100. Two problems so far.

1) WifI: The Network wizard does not find my WPA network. Similar to Pup-431 I had to resort to NDisWrapper with with Windows drivers I downloaded somewhere off the net sometime ago

2) pNetHood: The latest pNetHood patched by BarryK is needed (pnethood-0.65-utf8-2.pet). See:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=00970

This cures a CIFs problem. Otherwise for seeing files on my LANDisk I have to execute:

Code: Select all

echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled

each time.

Love having FF3.6 and not at all bothered by the larger ISO. Keep up the good work!

Gerry, sorry, I didn't get an email about a new post in this thread so did not see your posts till now. Actually the xerrs file is kind of useless to me as I don't know enough to make sense out of it, but hopefully it will be useful for others to figure out what is wrong. If you were able to restart X with vesa then it is the same bug as the one I was experiencing.

For the moment my workaround is just to hand-edit xorg.conf every time I boot! Sad, but true

. Will devote some more time to figuring out how to get an updated intel driver at some point, if that would work...

Incidentally can anyone hazard a guess if gposil's dotpet for synaptic / apt - made in dpup477 beta 1 - would still work in 484 beta 4? I doubt it, but wonder what others think.

Gerry,
Around line 23 I see something about the i915_dri.so not found/not loaded.
With pfind you can see if it's on your system.

Also, did you check the download of the ISO with the checksum?
I just had an experience with 4.4CE pre alpha, which did all kind of weird things. I re-downloaded the ISO and all worked then.

That's interesting, I have the same error. May be worth checking out like you say...

Nope, this has happened to me with all dpups since 477 beta 1.
