Slacko B4
o1micko,
Not to belabor this, but I'm wondering if you have any insights on the defaultbrowser issue mentioned earlier. Something is different with slacko.
If I load pfix=ram & install notecase-pro, clicking on links or their "go to home" link doesn't work correctly. The same pet works correctly in Dog, Lucid, etc., so the issue appears unique to slacko.

Would be good if we do - looking about there is Russian OS called FidoSlax that is based on Porteus and they have a well stocked modules repository.Lobster wrote:Do we still have Porteus module compatibility? What does this mean? Where are the modules?

Hello, charlie6 and fellow Brookdalers !charlie6 wrote:Hi Mick,
While trying to understand how xorgwizard script works, and where the BROOKDALE script is started, I noticed this:
line 1498 tells:Here on my Brookdale, the file ddcprobe.txt doesn't contain 'Brookdale' but only the chipset type figures:Code: Select all
1498 if grep -F 'oem:' /tmp/ddcprobe.txt | grep -i -F -q 'Brookdale' ;then
So as all Brookdale chipset seem to be 845Gx, x being nothing or L or E or V, and vice-versa, me suggests editing line 1498 as:Code: Select all
#ddcprobe ... oem: Intel(r)845G/845GL/845GE/845GV Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS ... #
Got a try on it restarting xorgwizard: the Brookdale warning is well displayed upon xorgwizard run.Code: Select all
1498 if grep -F 'oem:' /tmp/ddcprobe.txt | grep -i -F -q '845G' ;then
Edited:
Also tested: the BROOKDALE script is launched as well and the xorg.conf file is adapted accordingly; and X does'nt crash.

Curios on this one
wow that was different.FIDOSlax a distro has already integrated software for FIDONet network
by using the method of FIDO over IP (binkd, husky hpt and GoldED-NSF).
For more detailed information, see below in the section Connection to Fidonet; "
I have tested Porteus already so it collide with those directories I guess and I ahve to rename their save file or it will use that one?
Maybe you should start a new thread about this Fidoslax thing?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

hi all
a possible work around for those with taskbar volume icon problems. (well it worked for me )
open /root/.retrovolrc (dont forget to click on the eye icon at the top of the window to see it, as it is a hidden file)
look at line 43 and uncheck:
tray_control="Master Playback Volume"
this sets the master playback volume in alsamixer as default for the tray slider. (dont forget to save and restart so the change will be used)
I also had to run the multiple soundcard wizard but will wait to see if this works first, before recommending using that.
any feedback, questions welcome (I might even be able to answer them )
hope this helps

G'day,
Just to add a little to the Reboot - Shut-down saga.
01micko commented that Barry's tinkering with the first shut-down script may have created the problem. This may be right as I just tried my racya1 frugal on this desktop and it too reboots when a power-off was chosen from the shut-down menu. Wary-5.1.4 is fine.
This shut-down problem happens after I have set up my save files, and happens with full installs. Maybe trying to fix the initial shut-down has created a minor bug in the later shut-downs for certain computers?
But I think racya1 also has a problem with the radeon driver on my computer because I don't actually see the shut-down text lines - the monitor goes black when I hit 'power-off the computer' but then starts up again rather than shutting down.
Another poster with the failure to power down slackob4 on his computer said he didn't see the text lines I was seeing with slackob4. So maybe he also has a graphics card/driver problem during shutdown? I have had continuing problems with the Lucid-based Pups this way but not with the Slack pups so the drivers from the parent distributions seem to be not the same.

Hi David.. I think the shutdown woes will be over
I have the new shutdown config and have reverted the sleep 2 fix.. if you remove the sleep 2 in B4 (/sbin/poweroff) it may fix the issue.. I did a test by switching poweroff and reboot and my machine powered off ok pfix=ram.
-
Abiword is actually looking useful.. and actually I save stuff as odt all the time, so I bet thousands (millions?) do.. my feeling is if we support proprietary we should support foss as much as possible too, that's why I'll make the nvidia nouveau driver more prominent as well.
Originally I set my target at 120M iso.. that got torpedoed when seamonkey 2.2 arrived.. it grew by 5 meg! Now the iso is a chubby 124M
acpid seems to be behaving, I'm tempted to release as RC, but jpeps has his notecase issue.. sorry I can't help much there. Also a new woof is imminent, so I'll release soon B5.

Abiword
I haven't tested, but, Abiword (in the past) has paid much more attention to the more frequent changes of DOC/DOCX than they have to the less frequent changes of the open-source ODT.01micko wrote: ...Abiword ....
Further, when saving in ODT, aspect ratios, fonts, boxes, etc would NOT carry over when trying to open in OOo/Libre/GoogleDocs. Whereas, Abiword saving as DOCs would respect those and open properly in OOo/Libre/GoogleDocs.
Looking forward. to testing. in B4
SiS Card

Gee... thanks! I'll do what I cansszindian wrote:But if I know 01micko like I think I do, he'll solve it for sure!!!
Now, you say it works in Racy.. if you boot Racy can you please give me the results of the "driver used by Xorg" when you run "report-video"?
I could probably then get the source off Barry and see if it compiles and works in Slacko.

Hallo MHHP ! Thanks!
If the 'oem:' comment is not common then let us choose 'product:'.
/usr/sbin/xorgwizard scripts line 1498 could be edited as
Grep-ing the string generated by should also seem being a solution.
BTW, how are 'ddcprobe' commented the other Brookdale fellows's trunks? Thanks for any answer !

Someone reported SM2.4 - maybe it was lob? yesterday?that got torpedoed when seamonkey 2.2 arrived
So what do you think will be the consequences?!
I just cannot understand the obsession with SM. Jemimah saw the light and switched to Midori - one respects her vision and abilities as much as yours, mick. Nothing is forever! Although my own preference is for Opera, I expect to pay a size penalty after installing. Surely that's the point? A distribution is just that - a compressed minimal vehicle to kick start any punter before customising?
If you want to win even more friends and influence people, a distro <=100Mb (50Mb would be better!) is in order. Half the US seems to be still on DUN. My friends over there are screaming because of their cr*p phone system and their greedy capitalist owners who are more concerned with lining their pockets than getting their nation connected. Oz has quite a few remote communities, too, not mentioning anyone in particular...
B4
Just before I saw the release of B5, I tried B4.
Machine: Athlon64.
Video and audio worked flawless. Ethernet found through SNS. No problems. Only few remark:
- the popup to customize (Xorg / country settings) appeared twice.
- a .DOC opened with Abiword showed strange cubes, like cells of a table. Probably a missing font or w wrong interpretation of the layout.
- after SNS selection it immediately tried to connect (for 10 seconds) but there was no indication (I was staring at the wallpaper) it was doing anything (no "wait a bit" message) so I feared SNS stopped working.
The wallpaper is nice. Allways liked lightfall through prisms.
Will download B5 today.

Volhout

I think it do that on all versions of Lupu, Snow puppy, Polar Puppy Dpup and so on. Not sure about Wary.- the popup to customize (Xorg / country settings) appeared twice.
Seems to not be a priority thing. Maybe it is needed for to make further changes one was not aware of?

Good news...Links are working in latest NoteCase Pro ver 3.4.8. Also, doesn't need additional libs. Works right out of the box...even the menu is set up correctly with an icon.01micko wrote:

ok, here's what I have now for bluetooth, also enabled the scsi tempestuous mentioned, not to mention ath9k and the broadcom ones were already done. Just need the firmwarepemasu wrote:01micko. To confirm kernel related touchpad problems and working ones.Above is the reason I have made my tests. Kernel module drivers participate to the behavior of touchpad. In my Acer 5820TG 2.6.33.2 and even 2.6.35.7 ( Snow Puppy ) has that hypersensitivity problem. Some Barrys builds with some kernel ( I dont remember which versions ) had the same slow movement problem, yes.... it was quirky something.Code: Select all
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LIFEBOOK=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SENTELIC=y CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TOUCHKIT=y CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=m CONFIG_MOUSE_APPLETOUCH=m CONFIG_MOUSE_BCM5974=m
In 2.6.35.7 Lucid Puppy my disable touchpad when writing fixed the hypersensitivity by syndaemon commands.
About the fix: 2.6.38.3 - 2.6.38.4, 2.6.39.3 - 2.6.39.4 dont have those problems.
Remember that my core Ubuntu packages have been the same in all my builds. I havent included those Maverick - Natty - Oneiric packages much. I have jumped out of the boat with my builds in about Lucid Puppy 5.1 time. I have though included synclient and syndaemon from Oneiric though and in Dpup from wheezy because they work better. The options worked flawlessly with newer versions. But....the kernel made the fundamental difference. That is one reason I havent updated Snow Puppy with 2.6.35.7, it just dont behave best with my laptop touchpad.
Above just for somekind confirmation, that kernel makes the differerence...
About Slacko, no...I havent build it with woof with freshly compiled kernel to find out would it fix the touchpad problem. I just havent had time and energy to do that, but who knows....
The cave out: Different Xorg versions have probably big SAY of the touchpad behavior, maybe even Flsynclient workability affects, dont know.
But...if you are gonna do kernel update test version, I will test it and report.....
I think that it is worth the try. Barrys DOTconfig-2.6.39.4 does not have bluetooth modules enabled...by the way. But it has vgaswitcheroo - debugfs enabled for dual graphics switching. Also you get that new broadcom driver jim3630 has been stubbornly speaking of. You get rid of his complaints also...
I said the latter positively, no hard feelings behind. Dont take me wrong. Lol.

Been using SM2.4, evverything just works, speedily! Browser works, email works, composer works, Chatzilla works, and seemingly integrates very well with this desktop. Added Java and Flash. All combined in one solution....SeaMonkey.
Thanks 01Micko et al for this one-stop combined solution. Long live Netscape!
