Wary Puppy 5.1.4 - 29 August 2011
I use mine quite regularly, its main purpose is for running old Win98 and DOS games but Lupu 511 runs very well (and does play MP3s, its version of FFMPEG being 0.5.2) and I've been testing other versions of Puppy on it out of curiosity.James C wrote:It is indeed a K6 2 500.I only pull it off the shelf for some occasional testing so I'll try to test some mp3's the next day or so.Jades wrote:Is that a K6 2 500?

While Lupu eventually went i686+ only, in keeping with its remit as the bleeding-edge Puppy, Wary is more targetted at more... experienced machines and it'd be great if my K6 2 500 machine could be one of them. There appear to be very few other users of that CPU and Puppy, so it's reassuring that there is someone else out there testing. It may help to rule out the possibility that a problem is limited to my machine only, which to be honest is never far from my mind when I experience problems.

Those having problems playing mp3 files with applications based on ffmpeg can try the attached shell script.
It uses lame and aplay.
The business end of the script is in the line:
The rest is user interface and idiot proofing. In a pinch, you can play an mp3 file just by typing this line in a terminal window, substituting your mp3-file for "$file".

Finally got the old K 6-2 box off the shelf.........MP3's and ogg files are both a no go here too.MPlayer won't even launch here either.Jades wrote:Further to my previous post, I've now managed to install Wary 514 on my K6 2 500 machine and while the upgrade of the Live CD install's Warysave seems to have gone through without incident I'm still having the same problem with playing MP3 files as before. Pmusic loads with the file but doesn't play it and running FFMPEG from the command line generates an Illegal Instruction error.
Is the FFMPEG in Wary, Lupu and Slacko i686+ only? K6 2 500 is i586 according to both Puppy and HardInfo (see sig for report for Lupu 511 on that machine).
Madplay still plays MP3s and I've changed the Run Action in ROX so that Madplay is the default for those files.
Maybe MOCP, xhippo, mcplay or some other really lightweight audio player should be included (in the PPM, I guess)?James C wrote:Finally got the old K 6-2 box off the shelf.........MP3's and ogg files are both a no go here too.MPlayer won't even launch here either.Jades wrote:Further to my previous post, I've now managed to install Wary 514 on my K6 2 500 machine and while the upgrade of the Live CD install's Warysave seems to have gone through without incident I'm still having the same problem with playing MP3 files as before.

When adding /sbin/udevd --daemon in rc.sysinit, got errors :
Replaced SYSFS with ATTR in /etc/udev/rules.d/ for TI_USB and WACOM.
Another error is in CUPS rules : %k is not reckognized, so removed it.

yes, ffmpeg was compiled for i686. I did that for performance reasons, but realise as this is Wary I should have compiled for i486/.586. This is on my to-do list to fix.Jades wrote:Further to my previous post, I've now managed to install Wary 514 on my K6 2 500 machine and while the upgrade of the Live CD install's Warysave seems to have gone through without incident I'm still having the same problem with playing MP3 files as before.

There were some posts on PETs for ffmpeg and mplayer that work in Wary and run on i586, but I don't recall the links. The posts were related to getting Wary running on the Gecko Edubook. The posts might have been on my blog.

Should it be /usr/lib/xtables/ instead of /usr/libexec/xtables ?
pmount :
/usr/sbin/pmount: line 217: uniq: command not found
/usr/bin/uniq
Regarding empty directories, some of those are needed. They get filled later, when an application runs, for example /etc/simple_network_setup gets used by SNS (Simple Network Setup).
/etc/belocs though, is not used.
linuxcbon,
Note, some of your earlier suggestions I will be looking at again a bit later.

Thanks, I am still testing.

Thanks for looking into it! Thanks also to James C for digging out his own K6 2 500 and confirming it wasn't just me. I've been testing Wary on mine because it's more the target market than the Pentium D, which is my family's main PC. Getting Lupu 52x and the recent Slacko to run on it at all was more of a curiosity thing.BarryK wrote:yes, ffmpeg was compiled for i686.

I'll have a look. Someone send me the URL for an i486 FFMPEG and I downloaded it but haven't got round to testing it on that machine yet. I have a vague memory the file name said 2008 so it may be an older version.BarryK wrote:There were some posts on PETs for ffmpeg and mplayer that work in Wary and run on i586, but I don't recall the links.

I have uploaded Racy 5.1.99. This is the same as the next Wary except for Xorg 7.6 and 2.6.39.4 PAE kernel.
As it might (or might not) have a lot of different issues than the normal Wary, I started a separate thread for it:
