I tried many times to post to this forum using the latest Puppy Linux and SeaMonkey, but I can't. It keeps timing out after I click on Submit or Preview. I had to post this using a different computer. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Thanks, ApeMan

How do I convert a vob to a format that will play in Windows Media Player such as mpg or avi?

I tried to use the ffmpeggui, but when I click on convert, nothing happens. It imediately says: "All processes should now be complete", but there is no output file generated.

xv is the mode that uses hardware-accelleration from your graficscard.
x11 is a slow fallback mode.
I'd suggest to install Nvidia-drivers to be able to use accelleration:

Ok, I tried your nvidia thing and it worked. I was able to run ...

I just want to play a DVD.
I followed the instructions above, except the part about the 3D Control Centre, which did not work because I think I have a Nvidia card.

So when I run it, it starts to read the DVD, but then I got this error:

Xlib: extension "XVideo missing on display " 0:.0".
Sorry, Xv ...

The remote computer is actually running Windows 2000, which is why I have to do Ctrl-Alt-Del to login.

I don't know anything about Remote Desktop. Should I be using it?

I think my problem has more to do with the VNC viewer program on my end not acknowledging or responding to mouse clicks. I'm ...

When I try to use VNC Viewer (TightVNC) I press F8 to get the list of commands but I can't click on any of them. If I try to click on one of the commands, or if I press any key on the keyboard, the popup instantly disappears and does not register any click from my mouse. So I cannot send any ...

I followed the above instructions to connect my puppy computer to a Windows computer. They are connected via a network hub. I tried both SMB and FTP, as explained above. Both are very slow at transfering files. I'm trying to transfer a 700MB file and apparently it will take over 4 hours to do it ...

I'm trying to copy one 700MB file from the puppy machine to the Windows machine.

Oce I have my ip address, how do I connect to the puppy machine from another computer? I have them connected via a network hub. The other computer is running Windows XP.

Thanks for the info. I was getting a little confused, so instead I just today did a complete re-install of Puppy 1.0.9CE from scratch. I tried to play wmv files, they still didn't work. Then I installed the xine_extra_codecs-1 PupGet package. And now it works just fine!

Thanks,

ApeMan

1) I think when you run Puppy from CD, you get a startmenu, that allows to boot to Ram without using Pup001.
Then you could rename pupp01.
-------------------------
2) You also yould make a copy of pup001 while Puppy runs.
Important: run "sync" in a consolewindow, so that all changes are written ...

I'm having a similar problem with Gxine. When I try to play a wmv file, I get the message:
"Error loading library: wmvdmod.dll"

Sometimes the sound works but no video.

I've installed the xine_extra_codes-1, and more_codecs packages.
I'm including my codecs.txt file which I got by using the ...

ApeMan, before you do the upgrade, I would like to know how many GB in size your hard disk is, and how large your current 1.0.8 install is (in particular how large pup001 is and whether you have a swap partition or swap file and if so, how large?)

If your total disk size is under 2GB and you use ...

Hi,

I'm very new to all this. I'm running Puppy 1.8 which is installed on hda (file system ext2) on my PIII 450MHz with 128MB RAM. There's no other operating system installed, although I do have grub installed.

Anyway, I'd like to install puppy 1.9. but I don't have access to a cd burner. Can you ...

Wow!

I just happened to download and try the Puppy 2 alpha snapshot (March 29 2006) and it booted up the 1st time recognizing my mouse and keyboard, no problem!

I'm extremely impressed!

Ok, I was able to get Puppy working with my laptop finally. I made sure to remove the USB device before booting and then I chose PS/2 mouse for my touch-pad. So the touch-pad works, but I'd rather use an external mouse.

I have a single USB cable for both mouse and keyboard. If I plug it in after I ...

So how do I mount extra drives at boot?
where do I insert these lines?

Thanks,

ApeMan
