Thanks to SFR who solved this bug!
A new version of pMusic is uploaded.

...or is It some kind of "anti-hacker protection"..?
I do everything possible to keep intruders out of the pMusic code. It is both secret and sacred. :D
Well, this is a known issue with many of the pSeries apps. It happens only if it is in the first tab of Geany. At shutdown, pMusic reads 'ps' and kills all pids one by one. On the other side, I have not seen this behavior lately..... The code (-quit) is found in /usr/local/pmusic/func (line 606 in 3.3 branch)

Try the one on the previous page, TBH, I don't think it's any better, I might even roll back to the one in 5.4 and do a proper compile of vattery as alternate in PPM.

I have a bung battery in my compaq-cq-60 and this is what I get:

Code: Select all

# ./powerapplet_tray
Floating point exception
I might see if I can patch it. Old version works ok.

I can't detect any differences between the PAE and 4G versions of
5.4.0.4. They work well. Machines here are all older pentium 4 desktops.

Is there some long term benefit to choosing one over the other?

BTW, cheers to the inclusion of Firefox and Flash Player ... and the
choices of colors/themes, etc.

Re PAE/4G: Not really on your class of machine, but on slower than that I usually recommend 4G. There is a note in the release notes that PAE doesn't run on pentium-M processors with 400MHz FSB.

Glad you have had a good experience, hope it continues :)

I made an sfs of xfe and the latest midnight commander, the xfe
creates an entry in the filesystem section but also other entries for a file
viewer and a couple of other small utilties in other directories, I
don't know how to fix that but maybe you can.

Thanks Billtoo,

That version of MC is in PPM already (your build :) )

With xfe, I split it out into main and DEV, built a pet with fixed .desktop files, now up at ibiblio. (DEV too, with FOX)

For those interested, a PPM update will reveal what I have been up to...

Sound, vision(ATI), connection(wired) and Flash all working ootb. Just needing Opera reinstating...

Well done, again, m.

Oh, and attend to that infuriating oversight in the start-up options, should not be showing USA, when locale already selected from a 'nox' starting code.

not sure if anybody else has experienced this but firefox (19) in 5404/5405 seems to be quite 'laggy' - also laptop was running 8~10 degs hotter too (process load only ~ 15%)

thought it was my isp but download speed the same and constant so have just loaded chromium 25 sfs and browser performance back to normal

old news but abiword doesn't open to clean new page

micko, have you seen barry's blog on the mplayer fix for video playback?

Slacko 5.4.1 RC

I'm running from the live dvd with a savefile.

17397 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3479.388 FPS
17390 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3477.841 FPS

I renamed the devx and then loaded it and the kernel source sfs with
bootmanager, then compiled the proprietary ati driver.
I compiled links without problems,I also compiled xfe again,the
new2dir part that does exe,dev,doc,nls took ages, is that because of
the strings thing?
Chromium reports that flash is out of date, getflash fixed that.
I ran the CPU frequency scaling utility,it runs automatically for
intel processors but not amd.
The hardinfo report doesn't open, must run firefox and load it.

That's it so far.

Ah, the old mplayer wrapper script, I dumped that years ago because it was severely broken.. Billtoo remembers that .. or was it too long ago?

Anyway, that script doesn't work with gnome-mplayer. Ogle doesn't work with newer libs. I patched it ages ago because it was too old for even the old libs in wary at the time!

You just have to use pup-control and set the timeout manually.
