I have just tested this with Gnome-mplayer, running on Quirky 1.1.1 (with updated libraries and mplayer), it plays nicely.
I don't have the proxy problem though.
q100 and puppeeerc1 and 2 all play it so it was definitely a q110 problem and not proxy related.

the frequent release debunker.
arch is now ahead of puppy on all time intervals at distrowatch in the last 12 months and arch has a sparse release schedule.

It's a PET in Firefox. It looks like your Opera is renaming the file based on its mime type.
That's awful. Harks back to my Windows days when IE used to rename downloaded files.

Solution: dump Opera :)

I installed this pet then restarted X. Got an additional icon in the tray.

A bit quirky... :)

(Solved) I found a freememapplet reference in /root/Startup. Said good-bye to it.
The correct one is in /root/Startup. Any freememapplet anywhere else should be deleted.

Clicking on either does the same thing, opens Partview free space in drive.
Thanks for the report, I have removed the duplication.

Another recommendation for quirky1.2, :roll:

The xterm script file as used in the puppy4 series is gone from /usr/X11R7/bin/ replaced by a symlink in /usr/bin/ to /usr/bin/urxvt. This means the "xterm -hold -e" function no longer works. :cry:

I copied it from puppy431 into /usr/bin/ and my script files work again. :D Maybe you could put it into quirky1.2?

Thanks, J
Thanks for the report. This is fixed in Woof.

Ok, I have added handling for .mkv

Has anyone had experience with .mka (Matroska audio files)? Do they play ok in Pmusic?

Re: urxvt home end keys

#115 Post by BarryK »

broomdodger wrote:urxvt home end keys
quirky110 (probably all quirky and puppy)

I use urxvt (aka console or terminal) often.

I have noticed the home and end keys do not function properly in mp, e3 and vi.

For quirky110 they should be:
Rxvt.keysym.Home: \033[1~
Rxvt.keysym.End: \033[4~

For puppy431 they should be:
Rxvt.keysym.0xFF50: \033[1~
Rxvt.keysym.0xFF57: \033[4~

In both comment out or change:
!Rxvt*keysym.0xFF50:\001
!Rxvt*keysym.0xFF57:\005

I recently learned how to change those in .Xdefaluts
.
Thanks for that, I have made the change in Woof.

If you go back to the PPM you still see the dialog for the package, but the main dialog is already white. Close the package dialog and the main windows stays that way and you can't do anything, but kill it.
I have followed the steps you describe, can't reproduce the problem. With SM showing the help, if I close the install-preview dialog, the main Package Manager window becomes active again. That's as it should be.

For correct setup for printing with Samba, the CUPS Printer Wizard has to be run.

I have now fixed Woof so that CUPS is setup correctly for Samba without having to run the CUPS Wizard.

I just checked in my 4.1.1 install, and neither ffmpeg (Patriot's 0.5 package) nor Mplayer seems to be linked to liba52... I guess maybe it was compiled statically into one of them? Does anyone know about this?
Quoting from http://www.ffmpeg.org/:
AC-3 that is faster than liba52 in 5.1, up to 2x faster in stereo and also supports E-AC-3! Hence liba52 is now obsolete.
...most unfortunate that it breaks some audio files. Perhaps someone should go to the ffmpeg forum/mail-list and make a big noise about this. Perhaps they need to bring back the '--enable-liba52' configure option.

Regarding printing:

Since GTK apps have the "Print to File" option, maybe it's time to retire the venerable CUPS-PDF backend. It may just be confusing people.

Now that your print server is running Quirky with CUPS 1.3.11, you need an additional step. Go here and read the last section titled "Sharing your Puppy Printer".

Hello,

- Testing Quirky 1.1 - 2.6.33.2 - but cant install the latest drivers from ati (fglrx).

this is the output from the ATI install log:

# cat fglrx-install.log
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Message] Kernel Module : Found kernel module build environment, generating kernel module now.
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
Error:
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/build/include do not match current kernel.
they are versioned as ""
instead of "2.6.33.2".
you might need to adjust your symlinks:
- /usr/include
- /usr/src/linux
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult readme.

- It works however when installing ATI drivers (fglrx) with Quirky retro - 2.6.30.5 - then i get:

# cat fglrx-install.log

- Must be the .sfs kernel file for 2.6.33.2 quirky - anyone got that one somewhere?

or know what to do.. .

Thanks for help,

Best regards,
Johan

That's too bad. The Epson Avasys website lists your RX600 as compatible with the epkowa driver and it is listed in the file /usr/share/iscan/usb.

The USB report for my NX415 looks just like yours, except for the ProductID.

The only other thing I can suggest is that you boot off the Live CD with "puppy pfix=ram", install the driver and see what happens.

Does the command "sane-find-scanner" detect anything? Have you tried the scanner with other machines?

Code: Select all

# sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the

But when I try with either iscan or xsane, I still get the message that the device is busy or command can't be sent.

Going to try with pfix=ram now.

Forgot to mention that since puppy 3.xx the scanner worked at this machine on 3.xx, 4.xx, and lucid versions (up to the latest 500). This quirky 1.1 (and 1.00 I think) didn't work with the scanner. But I didn't try on another machine.

So tried now with pfix=ram. Xsane didn't work
Installed iscan 2.24.0 and I have the same issue and error message.
Doing the sane-find-scanner, scanimage -L and scanimage with the device to a file did work.

So up to know I use lucid to scan work.
But it could be of interest to find why quirky 1.1 don't work.
