01micko,

Is there a mincom (terminal for serial port) build that works on slacko ? (*)
Or cutecom, or ....? I intend to use it with a USB serial port adapter.

Volhout

(*) = many have problems with minicom under slackware 13.37, which is the base for Slacko AFAIK.

try Cutecom, I just built a package.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-slacko/cutecom-0.22.0-s.pet 62K (needs qt)

I have no hardware I can test on. Let me know if it works.

Since you have FATSlacko then it should install on that without any deps needed.

I have hit a problem with Frisbee. It only connects about 50% of time. At other times, it seems unable to find wlan0. My guess is it is loading before the system had found wlan0. I have not tried other network loaders as Frisbee is the only one that will load the shared network in my workplace. Maybe I need a sleep command somewhere?

I've provided a new All-In-One version of the proprietary Broadcom STA wl wifi driver that supports many kernels including both types of Slacko kernel - 4g and pae.
Background and pet here

Cheers!

Gnome-Mplayer 1.0.6 Slacko for testing (compiled in Slacko 5.3.3)

I had a glitch with View -> Double Size in the default 1.0.5. This is just released.

01micko, It has the schemas--I couldn't get rid of them, but it works OK. Here are the config options. it no longer seems to recognize --with-gconf or --with-gconf=no. It has some config options to do with schemas but it still seems to need them.

DaveS:

Try with Frisbee >> delete your profiles

Restart

>> Connect

Frisbee starts...

Select >> Wireless Diagnostics

Select Ap_scan

Change the >> Ap_scan Parameter

from 1 to >> 2
for a better connection to a hidden network

Exit Frisbee

Hit Connect >> Frisbee starts...>> Wireless Network refresh

A few moments later...networks reappear

Fill in your details...and Frisbee connects.

Chris.

A linux novice here, unsuccessfully trying to get slacko533 online via pppoe. Done a reasonable research digging through this forum, seem to vaguely understand the underlying problem, but whatever tip I apply (provide my own DNS numbers, let it resolve them on its own, leave it as it is, remove the symlinks), nothing works - this is what inevitably comes out:

.....TIMED OUT
/usr/sbin/pppoe-start: line 193: 18024 Treminated $CONNECT "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1
and
pppoe-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-pppoe.pid.pppoe)

Your help is desperately needed - thank you in advance.

Audacious 3.2.2

Excellent audio player--the advantage over Pmusic is that it can handle very large playlists

http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/audacious-3.2.2.pet

It was compiled in Lucid but it seems to work fine in Slacko 5.3.3--it has the Bauer Stereo to Binaural plugin

This is complete (and then some)--it provides everything necessary to compile the next version

Inside my eeepc there is a webcam. It is not a USB device (not found in HW info under USB), but probably a video input device.

It is however not listed under /dev/video (symlink to /dev/video0).
I found some info under input devices (see attached).

Any idea how I can enable the camera ? (i.e. open it with VLC or Skype).

Regards,

Volhout

P.S. thanks for Cutecom, I will test tomorrow in 5.3.3.x. (running 5.3.3 now).
edit: it installs fine in 5.3.3.x, and starts up correct. Need to do a functional test tomorrow.
