@Playdayz you shared
Anyway, looking forward ..... 
______________________________________
There is one issue that I hope my statement clarifies. PAE doesn't have any more of an instability issue than "normal" or the "4GB only" 32bit kernels present. It, like the others 32bit mentioned, is stable. The PROBLEM with PAE is that there are a very few CPUs manufactured by Intel and others which (for their cost considerations) did NOT include the PAE hardware. And, some BIOSes were also shipped with a settings that could also have impacted PAE use. But, for the most part, this is a ratity given the 15 years PAE has been built-into CPUs. Thus, if you can, run 64bit! If you cannot, use 32bit PAE as it affords use of ALL of the RAM you can throw at it (assuming no CPU issues - which you will find out almost immediately), Lastly 32bit non-PAE runs just as fast (reviewing performance measurements already done by both vendors (intel and AMD) as well as independent test reports. PAE merely shines in Puppy which run RAM based because the filesystem is ALL of your RAM. Hope this helps _________________ Get ACTIVE; Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit the people's needs! We are all related ... Its time to show that we know this!

I don't think so. Sometimes PPM misses dependencies that are really there. If it works it's OK. There is also a 1.1.10. This vlc 2.0 is for me working in quick testing -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76271 |

2. With lupulibre, you installed the 2 packages that add support for both the old and a newer version of the wl driver (which appears to successfully support your device), but did not do that when you ran lupuplus. Richard Last edited by rerwin on Thu 12 Apr 2012, 18:42; edited 1 time in total |

volhut, it would be a miracle if this updated Intel video driver for Lucid from Ubuntu Lucid Updates made any difference to Stellarium. You would need to restart the X-server after installing the pet.

The intel driver did not fix it. I am going to read through Pesamu's advice first. But I am not sure if the problems I have relate to his work on Qt. Since it works on other hardware on LupuLibre, on Nvidia HW, Qt should not be the problem. UPDATE: when I use Xvesa on 1024x768x24 the Stellarium 1.10.6 SFS works on my system. It is slow (graphics), but it works. Using Xorg on the same settings 1024x768x24 does not work, neither does the native setting for my system 1280x1024x24. I did not know Xvesa supported OpenGL (via Xorg-High ?) |

Might as well give it a try, but I agree with Iguleder that x86_64 is the way of the future.
It's most certainly possible and appears to work pretty darn well.

Volhout I had a box with brookdale 845G video which gave all sorts of problems I think I cured it by adding mesa and going into bios and resetting the default video memory size to match the video...I got good speed and stability afterwards - though I also came across a lot of 'this patch isn't working' posts when searching....there were kernel problems too, apparently, so look for patches for your kernel Aitch

I agree also, James C. But it won't be me who does it  I am using the kernel from racy 5.3. One thing I am interested in is whether it makes a difference whether a kernel is built-in with Woof or added later manually. I am building it in with Woof.

Got a feeling it'll go much smoother using Woof....
Anyway, it'll give us a new release to experiment with.Might as well go for it. |

If I run VLC 1.1.7 from the console. I also get these error messages:
If I run VLC 1.1.10 from console only get this:
VLC 2.0.0 from console get this:
Seems to indicate the VLC 1.1.7 may not be something to have in the PPM. _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem. Puppy Help 101 An interactive tutorial for Puppy 5.2.5 |

There is this warning in the topic for VLC 2.0.0.sfs:
Is this something to worry about if using in Lucid 5.2.8-005? _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem. Puppy Help 101 An interactive tutorial for Puppy 5.2.5 |

Not really. Lucid does not have a separate Qt package like Slacko does. |
