... Can md5 for latest Aug17 version be posted (I think that is the version coming down from the 1st post)?...

My downloaded copy is:

Code: Select all

0a8b60176d1078f3ba32e041dfc9caf6  EmSeeV2.2.iso

Can anyone verify the same?

@StemSee, if this is verified, I offer this for posting to the opening post in place of the md5 link.

@Step, thanks. I just burned and booted Live DVD; now posting from it

@Stemsee, you KNOW WHY. I have to commend you for this August 17th version with the adjustments you've made. That single change has made this distro a single step startup!!! Thanks for understanding the value. Keyboard works, hostname works, timezone works everything starts with NO fiddling. thx

I ALSO noticed that you included JAVA V1.8+. Its obvious that you have positioned this distro to allow easy addition of Android Studio which uses Groovy to ease the JAVA code creation for building those Apps. Groovy, just plainly, is a game-changer for anyone who has EVER written a JAVA app.

This is some great forward thinking you are providing all of us, in an OOTB distro! Just a great collection to meet the needs. This is a wonderful achievement.

My old and new Windows PCs access this sharing easily(full-SAMBA V4+), as well as my TVs, Phones, etc to pull files/media over the LAN. Further, I can see my LAN IP presence in a taskbar hover....yea.

Thanks for all you have done to make this very intuitive, easy, and useful in a General Purpose Puppy for experienced and new users. This has so much OOTB: Entertainment components, content creation components, virtualization components, components for the disabled, etc. allowing it to be applied in so many useful ways.

BTW, @Stemsee, ARE YOU IN THE NEW DEFAULT DESKTOP BACKGROUND?
Edit: fixed Error on name use.

System is booted Live and has NOT been reboot, nor a save session made.

Scenario:
Booted, FirstRUN, desktop restart, esound message and Retrovol show audio missing: Pictured, below. Taskbar item was volumed up but still no sound as icon continues with a big red "X".

Edit: System rebooted with saving session, but no sound available on reboot.

Requesting ideas to resolution.

Hi, stemsee

I made a 64 bit version with the kernel and vmlinuz files provided and burned the ISO to DVD . Booted fast enough - about 2 minutes...
I also miss sound - this happens always because even if I choose the correct audio device ( in this case is hw1 that is my Radeon videocard connected via HDMI to my TV ) the sound is muted by default . In Fatdog Alsa Mixer allows me to unmute the channel . There should be also a command line option to do that ...
I tried to install AMD driver with no success
A LOT of application integrated , which at least half of them could be optional packages in the repo ...
Using Synaptic and often didn't succeed to install some package because in the middle of dependencies installation some error occurred .
Skype is working but with no sound I can't use it ...
Qemu is working well.
Next I shall try to see what I can uninstall to make this EmSee thinner ...
BTW - very easy to change the kernel the way you put it

I reported a similar problem a few posts back in this thread. This is how I fixed it.

• Welcome wizard > Setup > sound > 1 adjust levels ... but then retroval window is empty
• ditto > 3 multiple cards and select my only card in the pull-down menu ... now retrovol window is OK
• Enable master & pump up the volume
• (back in Welcome wizard sound tab: play test sound (OK)
• Open terminal window and try aspeak command (OK)

Sorry for these rather messy instructions, I jotted down quick notes when I fixed the sound. Lucky I did!
HTH

@Step guides us to the audio solution should you arrive at desktop without Sound enabled.

On reboot, my system has Retrovol populated. To turn sound on, I am required to do the following using 1st the taskbar, to open Retrovol GUI, where I notice that "Master" is NOT checked. Checking it allows sound:

Thanks

Anyway ... live and learn!
