Fatdog64-500 final

[smokey01]

Thanks jamesbond.

I will see if I can find the source for mhwaveedit as I have never been that keen on audacity, maybe I need to play with it more.

I have also noticed there are problems with streamtuner, none of the stations are displayed for shoutcast although shoutcast works fine in VLC. VLC has a recording function but unfortunately places everything in one file. Streamripper on the other hand has the ability to separate the songs providing the title and author as the filename. Just a little edit with mhwaveedit and all is good. mhwaveedit has problems with large files recorded with VLC.

I did notice there were two entries for alsamixer, I thought it was an oversight. I will look at both but I had already tried one, not sure which one.

sfs files are one of the strengths of puppy. I generally like to keep the pup_safe file small and place most of my data outside of it such as documents, email and the like. It's also a good idea to have other large applications like Open Office outside too. This means they are accessible from many distros. It's especially useful for email so I can keep all of my emails in the same place no matter what distribution I'm using.

I have often thought it would be good to have a number of theme sfs files such as multimedia and games etc. A quick and simple way to fatten puppy without bloating the pup_save file.

Is it possible to have the menus and desktop icons updated when the sfs is loaded. Most of the sfs files I have used this does not happen so you have to go looking for the executable files. It's not too big a drama for me but will be off-putting to noobs and first time users.

Thanks

lakedude,

You're the gnugrid user? It probably wouldn't be too hard to remaster the iso to include the nvidia driver and the gnugrid software. I don't have a nvidia card though.

Yes, I'm the GPUGRID user. I go by "bigtuna" on their site so it is a little confusing, sorry.

Would you like an nVidia card? I just bought a GTX-460 with no free slot to put it in so I've got to get rid of a GT-240 to make room for the GTX-460.

You can have the GT-240 for free, so long as you actually use it (not to sell on eBay to make money).

PM me your address if you want the GT-240.

I've remastered Puppy before so I might be able to handle adding the nVida driver and the GPUGRID software to the ISO. Sounds like a good project for a rainy day.

The GPUGRID folks really like FatDog-64, in fact they are hosting a "mirror" of the ISO on their site.

01smokey, I don't have mhwaveedit but I have compiled audacity with a bunch of other tools in an SFS -- see my previous post. I will look at Galculator, streamripper and streamripper - but as usual, no promises. Problem with the mix - have you configured your mic-boost (or something like that) in alsamixer? (Note - use Alsa Mixer under Multimedia, not Alsa sound wizard under Setup). By default the setting is very low, you need to turn it up before the mic can produce any sound at all.

EDIT: I have uploaded galculator. Streamtuner/Streamripper will have to wait for a while ...

Brian (I always thought you're female - the nick "blestina" sounds female to me hehe), did the previous RCs work with you? If they did, please ensure that you delete any existing fd64-500.sfs from your harddisk, then restart fatdog. Anyway, it would help if you can post the content of /proc/asound/cards and tell me what's your hardware (motherboard, soundcard, etc).

cheers!

Thanks

The RC's all did the same thing....

OK

Please letn me know what else you need...

Is there a cmd for my hadware???

Brian

If you guys want..

I can take my Sound card out and see what happens with just MB Audio...

[smokey01]

jamesbond, is this what you need to compile mhwaveedit?

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/mhwaveedit

[kirk]

lakedude,

Thanks for the offer, but the only non-laptop 64bit computer I have is connected to my TV and is difficult to deal with. If you need help with a remaster let me know.


blestina,

For the sound problem, or any problem:

1) Try booting with pfix=ram to make sure there's not something wrong in the pup_save.

2) Make sure that you have not ran the Alsa sound wizard, If you have, go back to step 1.

3) Run the Alsamixer and make sure your outputs are turned up and not muted. The M key mutes and unmutes each output.

4) If you have multiple sound cards or multiple integrated sound cards (and it looks like you do), run the Multiple Sound Card Wizard, and pick the sound card you want to use. You might have to guess if you're not sure. You'll have to reboot after making your selection and then be sure to do step 3 again.

If you're trying to get sound over HDMI, your video driver will need to support that function as well. For ATI you'll need the radeonhd driver or the proprietary fglrx (pet package). For Nvidia you'll probably need the proprietary Nvidia driver (pet package). There seems to be some intel hdmi support in the kernel, but I don't know if the intel video driver supports it yet.

[jamesbond]

smokey, mhwaveedit is now on the repository. Initially I was reluctant to have mhwaveedit because I already have audacity, but after compilation - there is no contest, audacity is 5MB pet while mhwaveedit is only 340K, so yeah let's give it a chance

Oh yes, to address your earlier question, all the SFS (except the 32-bit compatibilty libs) have menu items ... when they are added, the menu will appear. If they don't appear, there is something very funny indeed (there are reports about menu items not showing). As for desktop items - there isn't any puppy-standard way of doing that (there was an attempt by Barry before, in 3.x days, but sure whether it's still working today). If they already appear on the menu, I don't see why we need the desktop icons.

Brian, your card is detected, and it should work. As kirk mentioned, you only need to use the Multiple Soundcard Wizard to get it working.

cheers!

I tried all your steps....

It would not Remember my Sound Card...

No Sound Icon, No Sound...

I took the card out and re enabled MB Audio..... Works fine.... :)

Fatdog64 don't like my Sound Card... :(

It is a Sound Blaster Audigy SE.....

It works fine in Windows, Ubuntu, Lighthouse Pup.....

Weird.....

I got he Multi-Session CD working.....

Had to write it from a Linux Burner Software, Not Windows.....:(

How do I save .SFS files to a Multi-Session CD???

Fatddog64 won't let me.... :(:(

Thanks

Brian

[gcmartin]

Can you guarantee that ONLY 64bit packages get installed on FATDOG64
I want to add 2 packages that I consider extremely useful to me. I am interested in adding iftop, latencytop, and iotop to my running LiveCD and frugal running FatDOG64.

1. BUT, How do I insure that I am installing AMD64 versions of the software via the package manager?
2. Is the package manager capable of insuring that ONLY 64bit packages get installed on the 64bit Linux Distro?
3. Is there any way to guard against installing 32bit apps on a 64 bit system?

Thanks in advance for any help, or guidance in adding/installing the packages I named, above.

[gcmartin]

@blestina has asked about using a multi-session DVD and FATDOG64.

I got he Multi-Session CD working.....
Had to write it from a Linux Burner Software,

Once you've burned a multi-session DVD, whenever you shutdown or reboot, your FATDOG64 will ask you, each time, about saving your session. If you select the "save to CD" your multi-session FATDOG64 liveDVD will be updated with all the current information that is contained in your session that is being shutdown. On subsequent reboot, if you do NOT touch the keyboard, your LiveDVD will start your system and include everything that was there before your hast shutdown.

I have found this to work for me. (It may NOT be documented in this way, though.)

1. You MUST boot your PC using the FATDOG64 LiveDVD from a DVD burner.
2. You should get to the FATDOG64's desktop and you should do something that you want to occur each time you reboot your PC; for example, setup your LAN card.
3. You may choose to accomplish some work while running the LiveDVD; for example type and save a work processing document.
4. When you think its time, you will shutdown/reboot your PC. When you shutdown, you will be asked, during this time, if you want to save your work. Responding to this request will save your changes, documents, and additions onto your DVD that you booted.

I recognize that this does NOT discuss the details of what FATDOG64 is copying onto your LiveDVD, but this is "well" documented in several Puppy documents.

How do I save .SFS files to a Multi-Session CD???
Fatddog64 won't let me....

I have attempted to do this, by writing SFS files to the FATDOG64 DVD appropriately. This DID NOT WORK WHEN LIVEDVD BOOT WAS ATTEMPTED (I'm getting kernal panic errors and have been told in this forum that there is a bug in the SFS processing that occurs at boot time with LiveDVD!!! Thus far, someone else in this forum may know more about this. If its helps you, here's how I added the SFS files to the LiveDVD,here

[jamesbond]

Brian, can you tell me content of /proc/asound/modules? Your soundcards are all detected, so it's a matter of setting up which one is the default - which is what the Multiple Soundcard is doing. If somehow it doesn't work for you, there is other way to do it, you'll have to edit modprobe.conf by hand, but you need to tell me content of /proc/asound/modules so that we can arrange those modules in the correct order.

gcmartin has answered your other questions about the SFS

gcmartin, the answer for that is probably no. Woof's dotpet installer, which is inherited by Fatdog, does not differentiate between puppy versions (that's why you can install quirky packages on puppeee, for example), let alone different architectures. The Puppy Package Manager (PPM) does not at this stage support this feature either. It may in the future - Barry's seems to be working hard on it now that Woof can build puplets from many other upstream distros - but not at this stage, unless someone is interested on working on it (it's not only about the PPM and dotpet, one has also look at the new2dir/dir2pet scripts which creates these dotpets ...)

If the packages you want to install are available in 32-bit only, you have two options:
a) get the source and compile as native 64-bit packages
b) get the 32-bit compatibility SFS, this SFS can help to run some (not all!) 32-bit software.
Skype, for example, is 32-bit-only software (recompiling is not an option because its source is not available), but it runs fine under Fatdog. So is the wine.sfs, it's actually 32-bit wine compiled by green_dome, but it works okay under Fatdog too, with the 32-bit compatibility library installed.

[gcmartin]

@jamesbond Thank you very much. (I PM'd you for advice)

a) get the source and compile as native 64-bit packages
b) get the 32-bit compatibility SFS, this SFS can help to run some (not all!) 32-bit software.

Following this explanation, it would seem prudent that I add the "32-bit compatibility SFS" to my FATDOG64 LiveCD to be used at boot time so that when using the repositories, this could provide some insulation of the potential negative impact that 32 bit software may pose when added to the running FATDOG64.

[jamesbond]

Well yeah, if you plan to use pets compiled for other puppies, the 32-bit library becomes mandatory

[jamesbond]

Brian, please do the following:

1. Put your Audigy card back

2. Boot with fresh LiveCD of Fatdog64 (not previous install, make sure you don't have any leftover fd64-500.sfs, or any save file, or anything like that). Don't use existing multisession or anything - make sure to stat from a fresh copy of Fatdog64. Use pfix=ram to make sure you start from a clean slate.

3. When FD64 has booted up, use leafpad or geany, to edit this file: /etc/modprobe.conf.

4. Inside that file, find and delete these lines:

Code: Select all

options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd-pcsp
alias sound-slot-1 snd-pcsp

and anything that look like it. Basically delete all lines that have snd-pcsp, snd-hda-intel, and snd-ca0106 in it.

5. Insert the following lines, then save the file:

Code: Select all

options snd-ca0106 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=-2
options snd-pcsp index=-4
alias snd-card-0 snd-ca0106
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ca0106

6. Reboot, and make sure you keep a save file. The boot again, this time use the savefile you've kept before.

7. See if sound works through your Audigy now. Open terminal and run alsamixer, see if you can adjust the volume up and down as required. If it's still not working, please attach output of /proc/asound/cards and /proc/asound/modules again, as well as your /etc/modprobe.conf

I don't have (or ever have) Audigy, and from googling it seems that you need to run special software to configure its speaker output. But give the above, and alsamixer, a try. If the above still doesn't work, we'll have to be content with motherboard sound (which isn't easy as well because now we have to put two idential snd-hda-intel driver in the correct order!).

Gook luck.

Thanks...

for now...

I will just leave sound card out...

kirk,

You gave the following instructions to Wognath on 7 July 2010, but the devx sfs seems to be a different animal. Can you tell how to use the method described for the devx sfs so that it may be included in the main sfs file. I have used the method for other sfs files successfully. Thank you for your information and help. FatDog64 is marvelous



Wognath,

You can try booting with pfix=nox again, and then you can type xorgwizard-old. Fatdog64 doesn't have Xvesa, but you might want to try the vesa Xorg driver. You might have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Driver "vesa" #card0driver

You can do this from the terminal with mp or I think you can edit xorg.conf with the xorgwizard-old.

gcmartin,

If you want you could combine which ever sfs files together and then remake the iso, it's not too hard.

1) Make a folder named build and then copy all the files from your Fatdog64-500 CD to it.

2) Make a folder named sfs and copy all the files from which ever sfs file you want.

2a) Click on the the sfs file so that it mounts.
2b) Open a terminal in the root of the mounted sfs (hit the ` key)
2c) Then type cp -a * /(path to sfs folder)/sfs/

3) After you copy your sfs(s) then copy the main sfs to that folder too. If you booted from the liveCD or frugal:
cp -a /initrd/pup_ro2/* /(path to sfs folder)/sfs/

4) Change to the directory that contains your new sfs folder and then make a new sfs file:

mksquashfs sfs fd64-500.sfs

5) Copy your new fd64-500.sfs to the build folder, change to directory that contains your build folder and then make a new iso:

mkisofs -J -l -D -R -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot -no-iso-translate -o ./Fatdog64-500-extra.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table ./build

You can make a new folder inside the build folder and add other things you might want to store on the cd/dvd. Keep in mind that the more that you put on the cd/dvd the slower it boots and not just because the sfs file is bigger.

fatdog64kudos,

What problem are you having, need some more details. Step 2a would fail if you had used the BootManager to load the devx file.
