Mick I have similar setup, the same problem and the same solution . . . I also used to just unplug from one card and plug into the other if changing to a puppy without sound (seem to remember doing this with fatdog) _________________ Puppy Raspup 8.2 Final

Slacko-5.3.5.3 Tried installing pwidgets... both 2.3.8-pr20 and 2.4.0 Both installed and worked OK except both will not show the 'weather icons' (just a small rectangle box appears.) Wifi setup was easy however, for the rt2800usb I had to use frisbee, regular SNS would not setup Wifi. It works nice and configures itself on bootup, even dropped once but automatically reconfigured itself again... very nice! Graphics... simply beautiful! On to more lots more testing over the weekend. >>>---Indian------> _________________ Cloud Computing For Every Puppy (a .pet) http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69192 |

G'day, Just to confirm sszindian's missing weather icon from pwidgets (and the drive-icon with the puppyspace widget). Missing in some other recent other pups too. From the pwidget config files, I think these icons seem to be in TTF pdingobats. Which is in /usr/share/fonts when I look there. So it's a puzzle for me. David S. |

@sszindian and davids45 Weird how the weather font fails to show. It shows in abiword/libreoffice. Must be something to do with the very old version of conky used in pwidgets. I'm afraid there isn't much that can be done about that as pwidgets is largely unsupported now days. http://www.dafont.com/weather.font is a possible alternate font for weather only. Scripts will need hacking though... any takers? _________________ Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access |

Pwidgets should be rewritten to use svg/gtkdialog. Gtk2desklet could be a perfect framework - any takers

I made and tested an sfs of the latest xfe file explorer in slacko 5.3.5.3 beta. The download link is: http://www.datafilehost.com/download-4ed8c23f.html

Hmm.. I reported it here that alsaconf is broken. Pat has removed it from official Slackware. The Slackware Changelogs
So? What do WE do? I reckon follow suit, else it means rolling back to the old module-init-tools which will have to be recompiled against current libraries. Oooh.. we will be getting latest alsa-lib-1.0.26 .. maybe it will work better? I'm particularly interested in old sound-blasters. I have 2 that really needed alsaconf, but my mobos that used them both died. I need an ISA mobo! I have RAM and CPUs (old coppermines and pc100 RAM). Anyone in SE Queensland got a spare? _________________ Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access |

It'll be a long wait, but I have a Skt7, (maybe later old Intel cr*p?) with an ISA slot. You are bang-on about ISA sound cards - inifinitely superior to modern junk. Many have on-board audio OP sufficient to fill a small-medium room on decent speakers. Let me know. |

Can somebody else test this? If I do a frugal install of Slacko 5353 in a subfolder and use the psubdir argument, it works fine. But if I install it at the root of a partition, so I don't need psubdir, it fails with "can't find the sfs file". Slacko 533 works correctly, as does the latest Precise. |

What bootloader are you using? I just tried with grub4dos, here's the menu.lst entry:
Works fine. EDIT: I take that back! Fails with a thud! It was booting off of my sfs in /dev/sda1. I hid that and got failure. Also, a woof level bug is exposed when you have more than one HDD (I have 3). It only searches the first to save, or maybe it searches the HD it booted off, I'll need to check that, but I suspect the former because if it only checks the disk you booted off, why stop there? Should just check the partition you booted off if that is the case.

That's a relief. I was pretty sure that it couldn't just be me. 
Like I said, it works OK in the latest Precise. At what stage would this bug have sneaked in? |

No idea, but I need to sync with latest woof and go from there. I can't see anything I would have done, as I don't touch the initrd, which is where something like this would occur, which leaves the kernel, and I doubt that, though not discounting it altogether. _________________ Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access |
