Re: Puppy Linux vs Kali Linux: which is better for a beginner?

I can't speak about Kali, but I agree with the various endorsements of Friendly FossaPup. I've tried several different flavors of Puppy, including the alleged "most recent" based on slackware 15. I find the year old version of FriendlyFossaPup (built around the two year old FossaPup64) act...

Re: Has anyone connected to an Iphone hotspot?

Yeah, I saw in the phone the option for WPA3 and made sure it wasn't using that. I'm not completely surrendering yet. I managed to get Network Wizard to reliably recognise the existance of, and scan, the hotspot in slackpup but it still can't connect. Making progress, so moving on to a full Linux di...

Re: Has anyone connected to an Iphone hotspot?

Since yours is using WPA2, I guess that puts it all on my phone settings. Apple's guide is even more useless than puppy documentation. Thanks for trying to help :-)

Re: Has anyone connected to an Iphone hotspot?

For the past 6 months, I've been driving into town and using the open wifi at the library. I've been using SNS for that and I'm not very familiar with the other network managers although I've been trying them also since I can't get SNS to work with the Iphone.

Joe

Re: Has anyone connected to an Iphone hotspot?

You give me hope Wiz :-) I have the Iphone 13 using IOS 16.1.1 The only wifi label I don't have already turned on is "Wi-Fi Calling" in the cellular menu. I tried to turn that on and was informed I have to contact my carrier to update my service before I can enable that function. I'll look...

Has anyone connected to an Iphone hotspot?

I can easily connect from win7 or win10, so I know it isn't a hardware problem. My usual puppy (friendly-fossa64-rc3) has no problem with open wifi connections, but can't handle the wpa2-psk iphone wifi. It detects the network, intermittently, but any attempt to connect or scan the network results i...

Re: DeadBeef audio compression?

Oh ok, like a sort of AGC automatic gain control. I haven't seen such a function but will have a look see. Did you find a website or something that listed this as a function of deadbeef? I thought I had, which is why I was looking at DeadBeef. The following comparison matrix suggests that deadbeef ...

Re: DeadBeef audio compression?

@ williams2

Thank you for that suggestion. If DeadBeef doesn't pan out, I will look into Audacious next.

Re: DeadBeef audio compression?

Audio compression when the tunes are playing. I want the quiet passages to be louder without making the loud passages louder. I currently use the AudioStocker DSP plug-in with WinAmp 2.6 to quietly play music all day long, boosting the quietest passages by up to 18db. If I want to migrate to puppy, ...

DeadBeef audio compression?

DeadBeef claims to be able to use audio compression, but I haven't been able to find any plug-in that does this. Can someone point me in the direction of the correct plug-in?

Joe
