I had an interesting thought.

Is it possible to stream youtube in FFplay?

I'm not sure how that would work but I noticed that FFplay is an option in default apps.

Yes. When I compiled ffmpeg, I left ffplay in distro.
You can play from command line with ffplay .avi .mkv .mp4 etc...
But ffplay has the same restriction as mplayer. It needs some parser which parses the url for .flv content.
If you get the url for .flv and you can give that to the ffplay, I believe it plays it.

Abiword-2.9.0 needs to be installed by clicking examine dependencies.

I dont understand why you install first the other one as bundled which has everything for abiword-2.8.6 and gnumeric and then after that abiword-2.9.0 which is dependent of different version of libgsf-gnome.

I think that wont make much sense, lol.

Install the older abiword bundle or abiword-2.9.0 with examine dependencies which will give you all the needed dependencies as separate downloads and installs them.

I let them them be there as 2 choices which to use, not so that you install both.
I like to use the latest version of a program, therefore, the reason I loaded abiword-286, gnumeric-1.17 and goffice pet.
Then I loaded the abiword 2.90 pet - was merely pointing out that a lib was missing the abiword 2.90 pet.

Sorry for confusion

Installed this pet and remastered.
This pet is much faster than one in original live cd.
Remaster time of 266mb went from 23 miniuites to 8 minutes using this pet

Thanks for providing

rerwin's patch is worth to onsider, but the point is removing the file/etc/.XLOADED, which you can do manually.
removing /etc/.XLOADED stops the error on previous shutdown in the remastered copy.

I still want to get rid of the Quick Setup screen on the remastered copy and the Save on Shutdown screen on the remastered copy.

rerwin accomplished all three items with his changes in lucid series quoted in my previous post.

Thanks

Thank you majorfoo for testing and giving feedback of remasterpup2 a la rerwin. I have replaced the script in woof.

I have played today with firefox extensions global installation script. What it means. It was Iguleder`s invention to extract id information and then install the .xpi to the /usr/lib/firefox/extensions. There is also ready script in net, but that does not create compressed .xpi and takes more space. Iguleders command is better.

Code: Select all

install -m644 -D /root/Downloads/easy_youtube_video_downloader-6.2-fx.xpi $INSTALL_DIR/usr/lib/firefox/extensions/\{c0c9a2c7-2e5c-4447-bc53-97718bc91e1b}.xpi

Preinstalled Seamonkey/Firefox extensions
Barry, I found a way to pre-install extensions for Firefox and Seamonkey without having to create a profile first!
It's really simple - I found out that xpi extensions are zip archives. Just unzip an extensions, open install.rdf and get its ID, which is a GUID.
In the case of TorButton, it's "{e0204bd5-9d31-402b-a99d-a6aa8ffebdca}":
install -m644 -D torbutton-current.xpi $INSTALL_DIR/usr/local/apps/firefox/extensions/\{e0204bd5-9d31-402b-a99d-a6aa8ffebdca\}.xpi
After installation, the extension will be loaded from the global location. You can remove your /root/.mozilla user created folder and you wont lose these extensions. For puplet builder the benefit is bigger. I can push whatever extension as preinstalled to the Firefox. I have already flashblock, adblock and fireftp preinstalled as global installation. You just need to enable those extensions inside Firefox.

I have created more of them. Flvideoreplacer gives you possibility to play for example youtube videos with mplayer - gnome-mplayer - vlc - whatever player - ffplay (seemed fast). It just needs playing with preferences > pfererred method standalone player > standalone player custom > /usr/bin/ffplay and it lets you also download video.
Next you can use ffconvert to strip the audio. Lol.

Or you can use my provided online audio strippers from youtube videos. I created several ones.

Also here is youtube video downloader to just download video.

Fireuploader is picture uploader to the free web upload sites...it has several sites supported.

Couple of google translator - wiktionary extensions.

Hi pemasu

I still get the "Out of Range" message and a black screen on initial boot with the new 5.x.3.4.2.8 - still have to ctrl-alt-backspace and run xorgwizard to choose nv at correct aspect ratio.

Cheers

Peebee. That it is not caused by interfering nouveau. The stuff has been removed. If there would be still nouveau hanging....you would need running xorgwizard > probe or choose nv and reboot before you would get rid of loaded nouveau kernel module. It is something which some nvidia graphics users have to live with. I have quite old xorg version in this squeeze. 01micko with his slacko and with newer xorg has solved that problem I believe. I could ask 01micko if there would be generic hack to some puppy scripts to avoid that. I put it to my to do list.

I have not tested but it does not support xz compression, means it makes larger remastered .iso file.

Shinobar. Thank you of the info. Now I remember that in the version I picked up, you posted that you had improved the script to handle .xz compression. Probably the lack of it made the replacement script faster ?

Would this be a good Puppy for Sylvander new computer?
He asks around here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=79789
I did recommend this Dpup you have in this thread.
t's an "Intel Dual Core System", Intel Pentium G620T 2.2Ghz CPU, 4GB DDR3 1333 Mhz RAM, 250GB SATA HDD, SATA DVD-RW, HD onboard graphics and sound.
some puppies he tried fail to get to the Desktop.
So I thought that Dpup having the latest kernel and drivers
would be just fine? He has a 64 bit multi core but that should work?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I have 5x3428 booted via CD on a laptop and via USB stick on a netbook.

The CD boot won't hold a wireless connection.

The USB boot is stable (I am using that now).

The CD boot laptop has an AtherosAR5413 802.11abg NIC

The USB netbook has an Atheros 9285 NIC

Ideas re. the CD boot wireless instability solution, please?

Thanks!

AtherosAR5413 802.11abg NIC uses kernel module driver ath5k. It does not need firmware so it is ath5k module only which concerns.
I had my previous laptop with ath5k using wireless chip. It was troublesome. Some Puppies kept wireless connection some didnt. I am sorry. There isnt much I can do...but you can try following....

Dhcpcd might also be culprit with that module. You could use Frisbee enable-disable manager and disable Frisbee and then reboot and with next reboot use SNS which uses other dhcpcd daemon. I have dual system in my build.

Of course you could post pmodemdiag command created tar ball here....and also the output of this command:
lspci -nn > lscpi.gz
Just to check if there would be something to catch on....probably not.

01micko suggested that sometimes forcing the connection speed to be low...might help:
in console: echo "iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and reboot after that which means save file creation.

Or do in console:
# ifconfig wlan0 down
# iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed
# ifconfig wlan0 up

Thanks - will have a look.

It just seems odd as that has been my primary and rock-solid laptop through several versions and now suddenly is unstable.

Always a new adventure!

Is this relevant?


http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k

The Linux kernel 2.6.38 has some bugs in ath5k. We recommend to install the Linux wireless compatibility package if you are running this kernel and your internet connection is slow or unreliable.

Should not be anymore with 3.4.2 kernel but who knows if there is something odd with this kernel also.
I just had problems with my wireless chip and ath5k. I remember that I tried to compile compat-wireless without luck. Iguleder had problems also with ath5k, but he didnt manage to compile compat-wireless one neither. But it has been a long time now.....

That's right. I had many issues with external wireless drivers, especially when I tried to build them against 2.6.32.

Now I stick with the vanilla 3.0 tree and might switch to 3.2 somewhere in the future, since both are supported for years. I don't like switching kernels, because of issues like this one.

Why don't you just use 3.2, pemasu?
