Yes, Ptray should contain some help information. I'll put in onto my todo-list, but the absolute best solution would be that someone with english as their native language wrote this.

PM the instructions that you'd like to include in the help file and I'll be happy to edit them, however, it would be better for it to be done by someone with better technical understanding of the edit tray.
Thanks,
Jim

This is an assumption based only on Zigberts avatar and the obvious amount of time spent on Stardust Matters.
There are not many fires in Norway at this time of year.

I have no theories about the dalmation.

The boot script specifies "nosmp". My old box is in terminal condition

and a replacement will probably have a multi core processor. How difficult would it be to make Stardust smp capable as it has made a huge impression on me. If it is too much trouble would you recommend another puplet that is smp capable.

Thanks for making Stardust, one of the best puppies I have ever used.

just delete nosmp from your menu.lst

What quick response and simple solution.

Thanks

Sigmund,

technosaurus has set up the Pup-431-2 or pup44CE so it play radio from Firefox or Seamonkey.

I fail to get Stardust 12 to do such on sr.se and nrk.no

if you have time could you tell what codecs or plugin or whatever is needed to make S12 to play.

Technosaurus seems to use GXine and plugins to that one to works as a stand in for windows mediaplayer on these radio stations.

There are maybe just 4 puppies out of 15 I've tested that can do radio.

Dpup, lighthouse, turbopup and pup44Ce.

Your problem comes from old start-scripts in /usr/share/stardust/bin/. Your ocad-file is not generated by Stardust 012.
My problem is that even using Stardust 012, your ocad file doesn't work.

The solution is found, and will be fixed for 013

The avartar-story is not even that complex

I just think it's great that Puppy 4.4 does the job. Stardust is no competitor to Puppy 4.4, so please use 4.4 instead

pupRadio not working for you? It is in Stardust and a few others. Of course there could be codec problems because not all radio stations play, but most do. Give it a try.

Cheers

I had no problem with any stations at http://www.sr.se/ , which used firefox's gxine plugin.

nooby · #52 Post by **nooby** » Fri 05 Mar 2010, 11:08

If one know how to do something then it usually does work.
I have used the built in radio a few times on other stations but it did not work on www.sr.se or www.nrk.no based on the small knowledge I have on how to set it up.

But the pup431-2 or pup44CE in future version did not need the radio it worked from the seamonkey browser built in GXine plug ins that Technosaurus has prepared so if he had not then i would have not known how to set it up.

So one need your knowledge to get it working on other puppies. So such a How to would be cool to have to point to if other newbies ask How to get radio going.

Edit

a user who lack knowledge on how to get those plug ins or the sym link or something to gxine in Firefox going.

And people tell Technosaurus to get rid of GXine on Pup-431-2 so there will be even one less doing radio.

I was wrong about pup431std doing radio.

Based on your reply the radio stations you require that work in 4.4 (or 431-2 if you like) within the standard seamonkey browser. To me, this indicates upgraded codecs that at least gxine can recognise. Now, in 4.4 pupRadio should also work with those stations.

As far as I know, zigbert is making Stardust as user friendly, within a GUI perspective, as possible. I think that is basically his mission. Adding codecs is not a priority. Perhaps read techno's release notes or there might be something on googlecode about upgraded codecs in 4.4, I don't know. If there is it should be able to be added to Stardust, but like ziggy hinted, use 4.4!

Cheers

At one point I recall right clicking on a radio file to set the run-action to gxine....that's all. When I went to sr.se, I just clicked on it and it played...

Yes sorry, the live radio does work it is the files they have in the archive that fail to load.

right clicking did not work for me.

One distro that does work for me is SuperOS that one worked on every kind of radio and TV I tested so far.

Lighthouse puppy is the best puppy version for my gear and needs.

I should test Dpup once more though.

As new support gets added, we don't always have files to test the new capabilities that you want and need (because we don't necessarily want/need them) and the mime types don't get associated. defaultmediaplayer in this example, but my recent abiword-2.8.2 has support for a lot more obscure file types as well compared with previous versions (by compiling against the respective static libs) Unfortunately I don't have all the word perfect, psion, kword and many other document types (~20) to test it against. Same goes for my recent mtpaint and various newly supported image formats.

So... if you have any of those file-types and would like to see support for them, please give us a hand with testing them.

If you click on a file that you think should be supported, try rightclicking, set run action, and prepend @ with default__program__ @ and try clicking on it again. (where __program__ is mediaplayer, imageviewer, wordprocessor, etc...)

Whenever you find a file that will play and you successfully set the run action, please gzip and post the file for that type that is then located in /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/ (rough location - not posting from puppy at the moment)

Looks like asp formatted files in the archive which I believe is somewhat proprietary to Microsoft software. It works with firefox on my windows desktop.

They work in Lighthouse puppy and in Dpup puppy too but these seems to be the only puppies out of some 10 to 13 I have tested this week.

I have to learn how to move the functioning parts to be autonomous parts that all puppies can make use of.

Members PuppyLuvr and Beem are already doing it like that so I have to wait until they describe how one set it up detailed enough for me to be able to replicate it.

If I take the Firefox that have the right plugins and then symlink to it from all the other puppies then all of them should be able to use that single FF which knows how to.

I only have to learn the moving to a place outside of the individual puppie and then symlink whatever that is.

I try it out tomorrow. Thanks for thinking about my struggle.

hi zigbert,

could you include acpid-1.0.10-1.pet referred to here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=38173
(Patriot and shinobar)

it provides soft shut down and suspend mostly for laptops but I've called the suspend.sh from my desktop pc and it works as well

and if your feeling really generous a suspend function for the utility tray

thanks

DC

Hello guys

I am sorry for not being around, but I have been without internet connection since Thursday night. I have no idea when it will be fixed.....

That mean the next Stardust must wait......
