Thank you for this great SFS Smile
I have been waiting soo long for this Smile
My problems are:
1) Sound card is not working,I have sound blaster,and KDE asks every time I log... "Should I forget about this cards"....

Oh no,that is my SB sound card...
There is no "mixer",it would be much easier to disable onboard sound card.
I tried with multiple sound card,to make SB default,and no use. It happened that music is playing but no sound (?!?!)
2) Restart and turn off not working,all I got when I log off.... is restart to console mode. Tried with this workaround edited file,but no use.

edit: OpenGL graphic effects won't work.
Many effects are not working under XRender.
(blur,glide,screenshot,startup feedback,wobbly windows,desktop cube animation...)

Hey Diamond,

Glad you like it and thanks for the feedback. For desktop effects, I'm pretty sure you'll need the kdeplasma-addons package, (download it here) and have DRI running on your system. Try typing "glxinfo" in a console and look for "direct rendering:yes" near the top. If you haven't got DRI going, use "Quickpet->Drivers->Test Graphics Card" to figure out which driver you'll need to get DRI going.

See how things go from there.

Music but no sound? Not quite sure what you mean, could you elaborate? Is the this a problem you have normally in Lupu without the KDE4 SFS or did the trouble only start when using KDE4?

Strange about the restart not working. I tested the tweak on a clean save and it worked fine. Did you remember to uncomment HaltCmd= and RebootCmd= by removing the " #"? Are you logged in as root or another user?

There is no sound in KDE. I have not this problem in Puppy,everything worked fine untill I installed KDE. Now there is no sound without KDE.

I will try fix about reboot later,thanx for your tip.

How are you trying to start it up? With "Desktop->desktop settings->WM switcher" or "startkde" or with kdm? I'm finding it hard to troubleshoot for you because I don't know how you're doing things.

For example, if you log in with kdm as a user without permissions set, you won't get sound, but I don't know how you're logging in so I'm not sure where to start. Smile

1) Desktop->desktop settings->WM switcher ... don't worked,KDE crashed at start
2) console start ... crashed

There is no way to enter the KDE4.

Problem is that Linux see onboard card and my Soundblaster card. Puppy Lucid is able to solve this problem,but KDE4 is solving this problem through disabling onboard sound through "mixer". I don't see that option in your Lucid KDE4,in other KDE4 distros it was in taskbar.
KDE have it's own engine for sound cards,that is the problem.
Every time I started KDE,it asks me to disable my SB card.

That's strange, did it crash only after installing the plasmaaddons?

There is another way of getting in, if you exit to prompt (menu->shutdown->exit to prompt) then type "kdm", you'll get the official KDE login screen. To log in as root though, you'll need to enable it in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. Look for the line "AllowRootLogin=false" and change it to "AllowRootLogin=true".

Ahh ok I see. I'm still new to KDE so there's still a lot of things I need learn. Could you try to get into KDE the kdm way and see how the soundblaster responds to that? I think that should get mixer into the taskbar. Another thing you might want to do is to install the kdemultimedia addon, it might enable more functionality. Thanks for sticking to this.

Ahhh ok, I was wondering if that would happen. It seems to be KDE doesn't like your graphics card or drivers :\ Seems it's having difficulty drawing up the plasma desktop. Have you tried getting in on a clean pup save with no drivers installed? I know it's more work, so I guess it's up to you if you'd like to keep trying to figure out what's wrong. I'm still happy of course to help you try and work it out.

Hello,it is me again. I installed again KDE,and sound is working,except that ATI driver is working but no desktop effects. I installed plasma addons. What should I do ?
Thanx!

2. My shortcuts don't work any more,I tried to add them again,but no use.

3. Bug - can't download and install plasma addon... When I try,KDE is showing an error.
