#181 Post by scsijon »

thank you Billtoo, I shall d/l and try it.

With further investigation I think I have fixed it.

It seems to also need mplayer_codecs_basic2-20130718 installed to play movie dvd's.

I shall try that for a while and see if anything else fails.

Is there something special about your DVDs? Nobody else has reported needing this additional codec pack.

bigpup wrote:Anyone having these problems with Burniso2 CD?
Burniso2CD program:
Burn speed setting seems to have no affect on burn speed. No matter what setting, it burns at top speed of CD disk.
Multi-session burn option does not work. It still burns a closed disk.
I recently recognized such behavior about the speed setting in Puppy-4.3 , too .
Had upgraded a lot of burning cmdline tools .
Had to disable xorriso-1.2.2 for a definition not found in libncurses .
So am using CDRECORD='cdrecord' . cdrecord might have been upgraded, too .

At least cdrecord output in the rxvt window shows a burn speed around 10, whilst a debug line I inserted
echo " $CDRECORD $BURNMULTI -data -eject -v speed=$BURNSPEED dev=$DEVDEV $ISOFILE"
shows speed=4 .

Have disabled all the -eject parts and added
done #burn-again-loop
eject $CDR
###END###
because this is annoying to me to need to reinsert all the time .

EDIT :

Code: Select all

cd-info
Can set drive speed : No
Could probably be set into burniso2cd ?

UNetbootin fails to detect USB unit...

#184 Post by Atle »

Hi there...

SO GLAD that UNetbootin is available for Precise. It installs well it seems, No missing dependencies, but it fails to detect my USB flash drive that is always detected.

That said, Precise detects it, but UNetbootin does not pick it up.

That whether its mounted or not. Filesystem is Fat32.

Hope to get some hints on this issue:-)

Best

Atle

Seamonkey and Opera Browsers Crash

#185 Post by Montchalin »

Non-Pae, retro Precise Puppy 5.7.1 on a Presario X1000

Seamonkey and Opera crash very often. I can not cause the browsers to crash at will, but the mouse seems to be the biggest culprit. Second, would be the keyboard. But I have seen it crash while not even touching the keyboard.

I have had this problem with Saluki, Carolina, Wary,.... I can not remember a time when I did not have the occasional browser crash.

I am surprised nobody else has mentioned this.

How much RAM?
Do you have a swap file? If yes, how big?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Memory is maxed out at 1gb. I don't have a swap file. Could that be it?

1gb is enough, but I would test the memory. A swap file seems help.
Use PPM, install 'memtester_4.2.2' and see if any memory problems.
Run memtester several cycles, it takes a long time.
Browsers use more memory than just about anything else.
All I have tried crash after LONG browsing sessions.

> Did you see the instructions in the YASSM Help for Win98 shares?

Yes, I used upper case for the server name and share, and entered servern=PIPKIN in the YASSM Options field. Still "no connection." Did I miss something?

I also tried

servern=PIPKIN domain=MYNET

and

servern=PIPKIN,domain=MYNET

in the options field (I can't find anything in the YASSM thread here on how to put multiple options in this field). No dice either way.

I hate to ask stupid questions, but does the 3.2.48 kernel (in Retro Precise 5.7.1) have support for networking with Win98 machines? Is anyone else doing this successfully?

From the YASSM Help,
Multiple options must be separated by semicolons.
However, I think that commas would still work.

YASSM has definitely worked in the past. Unfortunately, I no longer have a Win98 box to test this on. Try

Code: Select all

sec=ntlm; servername=PIPKIN
Do your Win98 shares require authentication?

It may be that the mount command in these new Puppies no longer recognizes the options required by Win98.

lxterminal - bug report

#191 Post by dancytron »

Lxterminal seems to be broken. It didn't recognize enter key and didn't accurately deal with pasted in text. I used the PPM to reinstall it, and it did reinstall with two dependencies. Then it worked fine.

This is interesting, I booted Precise Retro with pfix=ram and now YASSM *can* connect to the Win98 shares. (Pnethood still can't, however.)

Now all I have to do is figure out why it won't work when Precise is using my save file. Or, since there isn't much yet in the save file yet, just start over.

I'd still really like to get Pnethood working, but this will do for now, if I can keep YASSM working with the save file active and/or in a full installation.

Thanks to all who helped on this!

EDIT: Even more interesting, once I've established a connection with YASSM, Pnethood *will* connect to the Win98 box.

If I tell YASSM to unmount the connection, then it becomes Pnethood again refuses to connect.

Oddly, Pnethood also finds a server "YASSM" in its scanning, with a share called "C@PIPKIN" - but won't connect to it.

This is Pnethood 0.7.i18n.

Excellent. Which set of options did you need?

I expect that they would also work with the newer kernel, but you would probably need "sec=ntlm" added to the Options line.

I can't think of anything that you might have added to your current savefile that would have broken YASSM.

Which makes no sense because YASSM is not a server.

All it needed was the servern= flag.

No clue what might have broken YASSM. I deleted the savefile and started fresh. I'll try to remember to check YASSM with each change, that way if something breaks it, I'll know what I did.

There has to be a clue to fixing Pnethood in the fact that it works fine after YASSM has already connected to the share. Whether I'll be able to figure it out is another matter entirely. :-\

Thanks again!

gnome-mplayer and dvd's under precise 571 retro

They are Japanese Anime with english dubbing, (Fruits Basket (abc3 Australia) and Azumanga Daioh (think of a Japanese version of Dear Sir),) that is all. They worked out of the box first time with Wary55 when using Ogle so I don't know.

And I can confirm the requirements (at least for me) as I deleted the savefile and tried again from scratch and the same two steps were necessary.

1- delete the /etc/asound.conf :- to get gnome-mplayer to start. It complains of file corruption or an old version.

2- add the mplayer_codecs_basic2-20130718.pet to play the movie dvd's.

I also noticed that the sound volume and quality is less than Ogle gives, even when turned up and the configuration is set with larger A/V Buffer sizes. And no, nothing else was running.


I shall install and try rcrsn51's pet next and see if it's better otherwise I shall see if I can find an ogle pet and try that under precise retro

That cluster of 9 MB's worth of ffmpeg / libav libs still appear to be duplicated in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/i686/cmov

I thought they had been removed or converted into symlinks during the size-reduction phase a little while back.
