mikeslr,

Your info is very good for anyone to know.

I was just pointing out the Tahrpup specific option in Quickpet.

Hi, 666philb or other expert.

When I have an SD card (this one is FAT32) in the slot of this Dell laptop E6410, and say pmount

it hangs
So I booted tahr 6.0.6 with pfix=ram,
and got this message:

Error: Could not stat device /dev/mmc - No such file or directory.

I don't recall whether this problem occurred with slim slacko, LuPu, or an earlier tahr.

Does the below give any clues?
The card is a microSDHC in an adapter.

(The same 'hang' occurred with an NTFS 4GB card)

fdisk -l /dev/mm*

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Hi.
I downloaded Tahrpup-6.0.5_PAE.iso , burned it to a CD and booted it, without inter fairing with the boot process until the desktop came up and the mouse froze as well as anything ells. The only option to power down was to press the power button.

My first thought was that something went wrong at download time.

So I downloaded Tahrpup again, burned it to a CD and booted it, without inter fairing with the boot process until the desktop came up again and the mouse froze as well as anything ells. The only option to power down was to press the power button again.

That indicated something might be wrong with the iso file.

Not to give up that easily I started an other reboot but at the “5 sec wait desktop

sounds like a save file/folder is being found and loaded until you specified pfix=ram....on your drive somewhere?

TIW · #1655 Post by **TIW** » Fri 17 Mar 2017, 21:28

Hi rockedge
Actually I made sure before booting that there was no save-file to be found.
I wanted a pristine Tahrpup. I redone the hole burning and booting operation twice. Each time with the same result. Funny that. Maybe somebody works it out ? Thanks for your interests.

Any way to automatically disable screen saver when playing movie in vlc?

I'm on tahrpup 6.0.5 btw.

VLC has a setting to disable screen saver, but it is probably already set to do this.

Open VLC Media player and go to Tools -> Preferences (Shortcut key is Ctrl P )
Select All from Show settings in the bottom-left corner of the Preferences window .
Now click the Video Tab on the side.
Now tick the Disable Screensaver box and click save.

This is a problem with Xorg. it does not register video playback as a registrable event such as a mouse movement or a keyboard click. So, when you play video in fullscreen mode, even though the video is playing, X.org thinks nothing is happening.

Easy answer:
Turn screen saver off while you use VLC.
Using the menu->Desktop->ScreenSaver Control.
Turn it back on when not using VLC.

A Google search for VLC screen saver disable, gives several hits.
This is from a Google search.
It is suppose to be a work around.

Ok this is how I fixed my screen blanking during movies with VLC:

Create a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (I named mine 00-system-dpms.conf) and put the following lines in it and then restart X

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
EndSection

This worked for me. Whenever a movie isn't playing it follows your power management settings in 'System Settings'. I haven't tried it with Totem, but I expect it will work there too.

Just tried it and now vlc works as expected. Thanks, you're a genious :dance:

jss83 · #1660 Post by **jss83** » Sun 19 Mar 2017, 17:01

Checked the VLC settings and it is turned on but doesn't work. I am doing it manually but I always forget to turn it off/on and it's a pain in the ass. Tried the xorg thing but it didn't work either.

bigpup · #1661 Post by **bigpup** » Sun 19 Mar 2017, 18:36

Sorry, I did not think it would be that easy to get VLC to do it automatically.

I wonder if this is the answer?

666philb will have to comment on this.

This is something 666philb may have done to earlier version of Tahrpup.

Not clear if he did this or if it worked.

jss83 · #1662 Post by **jss83** » Mon 20 Mar 2017, 09:34

How can I try this? I mean where should I enter this code?

Hi 666philb I have downloaded, installed and tried to run "dayplanner" unsuccessfully. Even so, it registered on the menu it failed to run. Checking dependencies did not reveal anything. I am sorry . Any suggestions ? Thanks for you help. TIW

Hello all,

How can I fix the error on Tahrpup 6.0.5

/usr/lib/chromium-browser-stable/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

?

Kind regards

G'day DAC324,

Just in case you want to know what to do with the missing lib (libatomic.so.1) when you find a copy, it needs to be copied to the /usr/lib/ directory.

If the file you find has extra numbers after the ".so.1" then it's just a newer version of the basic library file and should be OK.
But for Slimjet to find it, either re-name the newer file to the older name or make a symlink called 'libatomic.so.1' to the new file once it is in the /usr/lib directory.

If you look in your /usr/lib/ directory, you will see plenty of links from newer lib files to the older name - it's the old name that a program looks for.

Happy hunting and good luck,

David S.

My raspberry was broken! I have been using it as TV-box to watch in TV long youtube videos like conferences of 1 hour and more. I was surprised when I attached the hdmi cable from the broken raspberry to a laptop near the TV set running puppy tahr-6.0.6: bingo! It dual displays the internet on the TV and the laptop's lcd. I'm happy.

Thank you very much David.

I just wanted to get Chromium 57 running on Tahrpup 6.0.5.
Seems to be a problem that is harder than expected at first sight. Having apparently fixed the libatomic problem by now, Chromium throws another error when trying to start it:

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: /lib/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/chromium/chromium)
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/chromium/chromium: undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a

This indicates that in TahrPup 6.0.5, at least libdbus and libglib-2 are too old. According to my research, the "missing version info" error usually indicates that the library on my system is older than the library the executable originally was linked to, and the undefined symbol: g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a has been introduced in libglib2-2.41. But in TahrPup 6.0.5, there is only the version 2.0 of that lib which lacks this symbol. As glib is a central library, it apparently seems to be impossible to get Chromium running on TahrPup 6.0.5.
That's a real pity.

Kind regards,

DAC324

Facebook and some other sites are now crashing latest chrome and firefox browsers available from quickpet or repos. Chromium available from the repos also facebook and some other sites crash.

I tried installing the latest chromium sfs also, and get this error :

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: /lib/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/chromium/chromium)
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib/chromium/chromium)

I have been using puppy linux as my main desktop os for I think over 8 years. I hate to do so, but it looks like I'll be switching to mint or ubuntu. A stable browser is a pretty important thing. I really miss lucid puppy, everything just worked. I have spent ages on bug fixes and so many annoyances and problems with tahrpup. Now this browsers problem seems like the last straw for me. I've said it before and I'll say it again, calling
tahrpup 6.X or anything other than alpha is just wrong. Doesn't even
deserve 1.0 version numbering due to the many problems, bugs and
general annoyances involved with trying to use it effectively.

No offense to all involved here, but when a linux distro can't even provide an up to date stable browser, its really probably time to move on.
