these two sfs seem to be working in Lucid
Do we have somewhere we can store all working Lucid sfs?
Keep mentioning them please Lobster, this thread is as good as any. Not yet on the storage, but the plan includes a lot of tasty programs available for one-click install--through the PPM (now
I don't know though about one-click for large sfs's.

Looking good..... I installed DuDE (Stardust desktop environment), and it worked right out of the box.
Some notes:
Seems like libfaad is missing, so Pmusic won't play my mp3s.
Code: Select all
bash-3.00# ffmpeg -i "/root/Yngwie Malmsteen.mp3" -f au - | aplay -D plughw
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
aplay: playback:2309: read error
I use Geany all the time, but I am not one of those meaning it is the most logical app to include in the iso.
My Nvidia card was not detected. Now using a generic driver. Puppy has never given me 24 bits colordepth, but I use to get the correct resolution.
Installed Gimp from Lucid repo, - huge install, but worked like a charm....Impressive!

pStopwatch is extremly cpu-hungry, and should be replaced by
these

We need a working text editor
- I looked in the package manager
- not sure any are small enough
- Leafpad or Beaver have been used previously in Puppy

Alsamixer is not in the menu. This is possibly done by purpose, but zmixer is not really a good mixer app. It misses channels, so I can't control recording via zmixer. Alsamixer is the one to rely on. Pizzasgood retrovol is a better alternative (for me) if you want a graphical gui.

Installed geany....the execute-button doesn't work. To fix this edit the 'term_cmd=' line in /root/.config/geany/geany.conf to
term_cmd=/usr/X11R7/bin/xterm

Yes, I agree with retrovol

Thanks Zigbert, Was your nvidia card not detected as either nv or nouveau?
Will be incorporating your suggestions as we go.

JWM bug still exists.. see the halo around icons (see attachment). Tried to compile 474 from Joe's latest of March 24, exactly the same.
I will work on this one, we have a month to get it right.

How can I know..... I didn't get X up at first, so I clicked 'here and there', and got a button 'Use generic driver' (or something like that).
I tried the xvesa button, but it didn't bring up X.
xorg.conf says 'vesa'
Code: Select all

The flat icons looks ok here (with Dude), or is it because I have only 16 bits color-depth?

Hi Sigmund
For some strange reason this issue only affects 24 bit colour depth.
Cheers

Zigbert and everyone, Nvidia should be working correctly again in 004. I included the nouveau driver in 003 to see if it would now work--but it is not. That is the problem, nouveau is being assigned instead of nv.

This is at 24 bits??? I do see a slight glitch around the top of the System icon, but could that be the way it was made? It is making my eyes hurt

Does this have anything to do with the date?

I hope not! (I've been spending time on it) aarf did post that on 31 March on Barry's blog, he says it's the same in Quirky too, I don't think it would be posted to Barry's blog as an April fool's joke!

Really enjoying testing this distribution. Appears very fast and stable with very few problems.
Problems noted:
1. Gxine had no video or sound trying a wav file, upon closing, it recommends installation of "mplayer_codecs_full" using the ppm. When installed, it does now have video, but no sound. Volume settings are at 100% and alsa sound is working.
2. Abiword spell checking doesn't work. It closes when trying to use spell check. Tried ttuuxxx's spellcheck.pet for the same problem with his official update to 4.3.1, but no change.
Installed software using a new save file that is working fine:
1. Firefox 3.6.3
2. pwidgets-2.2.5.pet
3. PCountdown-1.1.pet
4. wine-1.1.40-i486.pet
5. gnome-games-Lite_2,26.1-i486-dpup.pet
6. bibletime-2.4.1-i686-dpup.pet (menu icons missing, however they are also missing on dpup)
7. eSword951.exe using above wine version
8. googles-mm-0.10.19.pet (works after adding libsqlite3-3.6.12.so.0) This is a fine music program that will play itunes files and doesn't appear to be as large as Amarok.
9. amarok_xxx-sfs4.sfs
10. openoffice3.2.sfs4_xxx.sfs (Works fine, but for full operation java is required , also desktop icons had to be located.)
11. java-1.6u17.pet (works in Seamonkey but I don't know how to activate it in Firefox)
Cheers,
Jim
