slacko-700 rc3

#461 Post by Billtoo »

I downloaded slacko64-6.9.9.9-uefi-k4.4-FF-LO.iso and devx_slacko64_6.9.9.9.sfs this morning from the 1st page of the slacko-700 rc3 thread.
Installed it to the hard drive of Lenovo Desktop.
Updated PPM and ran the Update Notices - Slackware Bug fixes entry in the Setup menu.
Did all the updates,installed some applications with PPM and changed the kernel with one that I compiled with the kernel kit in woof-CE using
the change_kernel script from the terminal,installed the proprietary Nvidia driver.

It has Palemoon 28.1 and Abi/Gnumeric in the adrv and kernel 4.9 with linux-firmware (default options) in zdrv.
Hello Sailor, thanks for this build. I tried it on my recent i5 laptop.
It takes a lot of time to get to X after all is loaded. It waits for a minute or more on a black screen with just a cursor on left top corner. It may need a few keystrokes to continue, at least that is what I do: hit a few keys.
I changed to kernel and zdrv.sfs from the build of micko and that boots up fine.
Strange, because that is almost the same kernel.
I had to do the same with the previous build you offered.
Maybe it has something to do with the Core2Duo laptop you built it for and with.

I works very well otherwise. Still have to find another bug. ;-)
Thanks foxpup. If you ever find out the difference between the kernels that is causing the problem I would love to know. I wonder if the output of the commands in "Known Issues" 01micko wrote in the first post will give any clues. I did have a hang in a few kernels because my wifi driver was missing, I think wdlkmpx has made a workaround for this since though.

Slack0 64bit

#465 Post by sszindian »

Hi Sailor Enceladus!

Using your Slack0 64 build with the- 4.9.131 kernel... very impressive indeed over the original 6.9.9 !!! 'Nice work'

So far in testing, only thing I can't seem to get is Pwidgets to show on the desktop? Appreciate any help with that.
EDIT: Found the simple fix myself... Make Sure Your Pwidgets Is A 64bit Version!!!

'thanks'

Hi sszindian,

Not to diminish in anyway the great work Sailor Enceladus does --I frequently use and recommend his slacko 5.7.1. But we should not forget that 01micko published the original version of slacko-700 --as he had done with all slackos-- solving those problems inherent with any original creation; and, AFAIK, for a long time spear-headed the improvements to woof, the building tool used to create any Puppy.

patches/packages/git-2.14.5-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git clone
--recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has such a
submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such malformed URLs
(e.g. one that begins with a dash). Credit for finding and fixing this
vulnerability goes to joernchen and Jeff King, respectively.
For more information, see:

I wonder if we should have a "slacko contribute thread". Anyway, in this regards I created the following pet:

mercurial-3.7-x86_64.pet which I built in Slacko64-6.9.9.9. This is an older version then is available on the puppy package manager. I did so because a mercurial plugin that I wanted to use requires an older version of mercurial.

see thread.

Nexuiz-242 works well too :)
EDIT: I changed the kernel, now using wireless as well.
Works well.

I downloaded slacko64-6.9.9.9-uefi-k4.4-FF-LO.iso,installed to the hard
drive,updated PPM,then ran Update Notices - Slackware bugfixes, and
applied all the updates + bugfixes.

Also changed the kernel and installed JWMDesk Manager, some other
applications with PPM as well.

Only problem is I have to run the network wizard each boot to setup the
wireless connection, that's not a deal breaker for me.

Easier than Woof-ce I think :)

EDIT: SNS connects to wireless every bootup.

I updated the Slacko64 install on my Compaq Presario.

I decided to try copying lib/firmware/zd1211 folder from xenialpup64 to
slacko, and that fixed the problem. There was no such folder in slacko.

The problem exists in all slackopup64 6.9.9.9 (including Sailor's) versions
having various kernels. It even exists on earlier (64 bit) versions.

@artsown

thank you for report

not all available firmware is installed by default to keep the ISO size as small as possible.
A lot of firmware is install able via package manager.

Thanks norgo. I typed zd1211 into search and the firmware popped up
for installation.

Fun with Slacko64:

I downloaded slacko64-6.9.9.9-uefi-k4.4-FF-LO.iso,installed it to a
32gb SDHC card,updated PPM and applied all the updates and Slackware
bugfixes.
Was running on an older i3 pc with intel graphics, didn't like it much
so I put the SDHC card in an adapter and tried to boot it on this dual
core, wouldn't boot :(
Booted up Dpup Stretch 7.5 CE (RC-3), used it to copy the contents of
the SDHC card to the first partition of an usb-3.0 SSD, ran grub4dos on
the SSD,booted up on this pc,reran internet connection setup and sound
setup,changed kernel,installed proprietary Nvidia driver.

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/04k8b8812ccoh/testing

It has Palemoon 28.1 and Abi/Gnumeric in the adrv and kernel 4.9 with linux-firmware (default options) in zdrv.
I updated this to the latest woof-CE and 4.9 kernel yesterday. It seems to work mostly as good as the last iso on this machine from what I can tell so far.

Thanks Sailor Enceladus. Working well also here in a new frugal install.
