[partsman]

Looking good here peebee !

New decade - new version - kernel update - new default "look"

BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;7890189c5;2019-12-28 08:51:15 +0100'
Slackware Current=Sat Dec 28 20:25:38 UTC 2019
64bit kernel 5.4.6

9d3c9c4c07fa8f9da0443bfb09006b6a LxPupSc64-20.01+0-T.iso

Delta from 19.09+0

devx, kernel sources and headers, 32-bit compatibility, LXQt ydrv addon

[Marv]

LxPupSc64-20.01+0-T-k64 installed to my Fujitsu S761, both as a pristine install, up through setting up timezones, firewall, SNS connection, touchpad configuration, adding in rightclicks and desktop drive icons from the options tab in Change Appearance; and as an update to my 19.09 +7+ frugal Grub4Dos install to SSD on the Fujitsu. Boot, system checks, video speed, mem/SSD throughput all good and unchanged in both the pristine install and the update. Posting from QtWebBrowser in the pristine install now with the 32bit-compat-sc64-19.06.sfs loaded. Fresh savefile created and tested ok with a reboot. One quirk noted: On the pristine install, the Drives-On-Desktop pet will not install from the usual options tab in the Change Appearance App. Screenie attached. In the update, with that pet previously installed, everything is working correctly.
Cheers,

... - new version - kernel update - new default "look" ...

Just downloaded and set up new frugal folder.
Will be booting it soon. Updates to this post soon.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Working. Keyboard is fine.
My volume key was working in v19.09,
now it isn't so far.

Thanks again!

Thanks @Marv

Really weird!! The drive-icons and conky .pets seem to have been missing from the LxPupSc64 builds for some long time ..... no idea why! I'll reinstate them for the 1st delta.

Cheers

Hi peebee,
great job, I'm using LxPup64 20.1 with the latest ydrv release of LXQT on my ASUS X555LB notebook, no issues so far.
Very nice look.

I really like this OS! just saying.

I installed Qemu with the PPM. and it says I'm missing some libraries.

When i've done it in regular slackware ...oh it takes FOR EVER to compile. so it's nice to just get the binaries for this one.
how should i go about installing the versions I need? ...properly.

Odd - those are binaries rather than libraries......have you done a search to see if they are installed but ppm is reporting incorrectly?

Certainly qemu from AlienBob:

has those binaries.....

It works great so far... but i cant get this script to work. It did in 19.09. (I'm pretty sure it did.
Any Ideas... anybody?

I appreciate the help, PeeBee.

AH yes binaries! I knew that! *blushes* (I probably meant "dependencies").
When I did a search with pfind they were not found in the system..

Well I tried that txz and, yup, I'm running a 64 bit system. I don't know. It looks like it put on one for i386. It wont work.

lxPupSc64 is sort of a hybrid though isnt it?

No - pure 64-bit

Yes - thanks - corrected

Dear peebee,

From the download page, the link "Download the LxPupSc64 DEVX from SourceForge" seems broken. It says, devx...+2.sfs is not found. Would you kindly have a look at it?

These two also broken:
Download the LxPupSc64 Kernel Headers from SourceForge
Download the LxPupSc64 32-bit-compatibility sfs from SourceForge

Hope you will correct all the links for the latest version.

Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Thank you for report - there were problems hopefully now fixed....
