keyboard layout problem Subject description: layout does not change at boot |
|
Setting does not function for Romanian (ro) keyboard at boot (it should look like păî, lşţ, 0+'â) . After boot it still remains US keyboard layout. Quirky 005 were ok.

morie posted a fix for /usr/bin/xwin. There was a typo in my new code that sets the keyboard layout to correctly match that chosen for the console.

If /etc/X11/xorg.conf has this:
Option "XkbLayout" "us" #xkeymap0
...replace "us" with "ro"
Your file /etc/keymap should have 'ro' in it.
Your file /etc/codepage should have '852' in it.
Are you using the 'pkeys' kernel boot parameter? If so, don't, as it is broken.

Can you check that all of these are correct:
/etc/keymap should have 'dk' in it.
/etc/codepage should have '850' in it.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf should have this line:
Option "XkbLayout" "dk" #xkeymap0
Let me know if any are wrong, and if correcting them fixed it.
If still not right, is it ok when you exit X to the console?

I compiled mplayer with oss only, no alsa support. I did this because the alsa setting caused a weird problem in Gnome-mplayer.
Hmmm, I might have to recompile mplayer with alsa support enabled.
However, oss should work. In Gnome-mplayer, the preferences has a selection for audio output, try setting that specifically to 'oss' -- it may be that Gnome-mplayer is confused by your system and is trying to use some other audio mode.

Barry,
Changed to OSS and I now get sound. I guess I had my tongue out the left side of my mouth, the first time I tried this. This time, I put it out the right side and it worked!
Now all is good with Mplayer.

Inspiron 4000, 800ghz, 500mb ram,
ati rage graphics, maestro 3 snd.
Gnome-mplayer plays video files well, mp4, flv, wmv, asf.
Plays dvd movie fine.
Dvd music video (Cure-Trilogy) plays menu okay, but clicking
any track on video kills the sound. Tried oss, didn't help.
Resource usage:
Compared it to Vlc-0.8.6h-engv5 on a 4.1.2 install.
Uses same amount of ram playing videos, dvds; excellent.
Cpu on vlc has 40-50% idle on dvds; cpu on gnome-mplayer
is pegged at 100%; not so good.

I have modified the Gnome-mplayer PET package so that it has this file in it, /root/.mplayer/config:
[default]
[gnome-mplayer]
msglevel=all=5
vo=x11
vf=eq2
zoom=1
ao=oss
...x11 is the slowest video output, but an earlier post reported that Gnome-mplayer video didn't work until 'x11' was explicitly selected.
I will recompile the mplayer package with alsa enabled, as that is likely the cause of no sound with pupradio.

PupRadio sound Subject description: works now |
|
Barry,
Sorry, I forgot to tell you that when I got Mplayer working, PupRadio now works. In PupRadio, under preferred player, Mplayer is the only thing that you can select.
alsa being enabled would be nice. I and I would think others, us it as the default for sound.

Something about ntfs |
|
Hello mr BarryK, I complied gnome-2.29.5 for quirky and found that NTFS partition can only be loaded readable by Devicekit-disks, can not write to it.
After run
ln -s -f /bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
ln -s -f /bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs
everything is ok now.
Maybe someone will meet this question later ?

I have manually changed the parameters as you have described above, and everything is OK also in the console, but I have to change Abiword Tools -Language every time I use it. It seems that I can't save.
And thank you for your help.
I am still interested in making your distributions available for people better understanding danish than english.
Latest news from the Danish government:(Translated by me) From april 2011 all public offices are forced to work with ODF = Open sources. Another reason to make Puppy more available for the danes.

German keyboard layout setting does not seem to be retained despite having been set up in the Puppy XORG setup screen.
This has to be fixed by editing the keyboard input device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from 'us' to 'de' and similarly for /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ATI_ATOMBIOSHPw1907
Same problem still exists with setting up WLAN0 as was the case with Quirky 005. Workaround is to use the network wizard to scan for available WIFI access points and then quitting. Then use PWIRELESS to rescan for the access point and then acquire the IP-address via DHCP.
Apart from that, all's well on the western front. (old WW1 expression for everything's OK around these parts - not that I'm old enough to remember WW1)
