Bit of a problem in 5.3.7 non-pae, mick. All my wifi dongles have stopped working. Sometimes the base station is initially detected correctly in SNS but no connection can be established. Never ever had any luck with Frisbee, not even with Saluki, and it was true to form in this test. Dougal's utility didn't work either. What did you do?!

That's it so far, thanks.
That had me baffled because I tested the code I put in there.. turns out the test wasn't good enough!

What was supposed to happen if the /usr/share/applications/kde4 dir was detected then we fall back to the old style menus. Seem foolproof. But my code wasn't :( .

Oh well , I leaned and now it will work. I'll add a gzipped fixmenus attachment, decompress it, make sure it is executable then place it in /usr/sbin overwriting the original.

Then run fixmenus, and then jwm -reload. You'll get your menus :wink:

Hmm.. are you sure you haven't got beta3? You can download a small delta, then just click the delta (as long as the beta3 iso is in range) and it will build beta4 in moments. I released beta4 less than 12hrs after beta3 because of the wireless issue.

You can check the version number by clicking on the green michelin man icon on the bottom right in the tray (task bar) and it will show a message at the top of the screen with version and kernel. Beta3 is 5.3.7.0 and beta4 is 5.3.7.1.

At least I hope that's what went wrong!

Good.

I put your ltris game up at the repo, if you update PPM it will show, couple of other small games too, one is by thunor (pipepanic).

Have you built any more games? Maybe I missed some?

No, just ltris, I noticed that a couple of other lgames were already available in the repo but not ltris so I uploaded that.

Doh! Put it down to old age. I read everything but with so many versions of Slacko, Precise, Carolina, Mint, so much kit running simultaneously, fixing the neighbour's flat tyre, another neighbour's central heating...
Will check it later and report back (probably your tomorrow morning). And thanks!
[But see Bk's latest blog, just appeared. I have found the same - Frisbee screws everything!]

01micko,

What version should I try for my netbook (Atom N270) ??
I am very happy with 5.3.3 since everything works flawless, but I do like Opera very much. That is the prime reason I am thinking about 5.4.

Thanks,

Volhout

Yeah, I've seen that too when upgrading some of my saves to the recent Slacko test builds, most recently an old 5.3.6.0 save to 5.3.7.1 - thought to myself "hmm, the output of lsmod is rather short today!"

Thanks for the tip, that fixed it for me too.

I've found that I can't create save files on my NTFS-formatted hard drive again, using 5.3.7.1 from a pfix=ram boot from CD. Symptoms are the same as I reported with 5.3.6.0. This is a major problem. I can create saves on FAT32 partitions, however.

Let't focus on the negative things.... Damn it, I don't like it .... but I expect so much of your iso.
I take it for granted that everything work out of the box, that I can install gimp 2.8.2, wine, inkscape..... Yes I can, but there are some minor things that I struggled with during my test.
Thank you Mick for this one - Promising!


___________________________________________


shinobar mentioned he failed to burn a video-DVD with pBurn in Precise Puppy, so I would check that out here.
Pburn is not the latest, and I recommend to update. But let me first release 3.7.7 since I found a label error.
Else of that, making a video-DVD went just fine. - even the version of dvdauthor is the same as in Precise.


___________________________________________


As in Slacko 5.3.3 I don't get any contact with my keybaord to control the Grub menu. My workaround is to edit the menu.lst file before I reboot. I have a usb wireless HP keyboard.
There are also some strange issues with the mouse living its own life (like Sage explained). My workaround is to run pupx to reset things. Then it works ok for a undefined time. Also mouse is wireless (logitech). I guess this could as well be hardware related, so I will buy wired tools next time I'm in town. Just want to mention because it acts similar to what Sage described.


___________________________________________


How I got sound
- I have 2 soundcards. The internal is disabled in bios, but is still detected by Puppy. So by default card:0 is chosen which gives no sound.
- I run the Alsa wizard for multiple cards and choose my 'real' card:1.
- Reboot as informed in the wizard.
- Still no sound. - Test in pMusic and Gmplayer, and also set specific card in the pMusic preferences. - No go.
- check /etc/asound.conf and /etc/asound.state - both seem correctly to have set up my card:1
- Since Retvol main slider didn't react on anything and full window was empty, I fired up alsamixer which showed me sliders that I could adjust. But no music to hear.
- I went to Retvol config and found under hardware-tab a setting for soundcard. OK, so this one points to hw:0. I changed it to hw:1 and then..... YESS

But how could retvol override everything else?


___________________________________________


I have a recent Amd radeon card. Slacko 5.4 got me straight to desktop at first run. This part is better than I thought, but as expected, it could not give me full HD resolution. Slacko 5.3.3 had slickpet that guided me through the installation of ATI catalyst pack. What do you expect me to now? I am both a newbie and an idiot.

I can't connect to internet.
The logfile shows that we are closer than in beta3, but this is a bit out of my department, so I better just ship the log.

5.3.7.1

#532 Post by ETP »

01micko

A couple of issues, probably both woof related, but I assume that you have the ear of BK. :)

1. The following error still appears in a number of pups (including 5371). Given that ehci_hcd seems to now be built into the kernel (it is not available to load) why has the call to load it in sysinit not been removed?

Code: Select all

=== /tmp/bootsysinit.log ===
ERROR: Module ehci_hcd not found.
2. Given that the fsckme.flg contains relevant data as to the location of the save-file.

Code: Select all

=== /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE ===
PUPSAVE='sdb1,vfat,/p5371/slackosave-vbc.2fs'
PSUBDIR='/p5371'

Code: Select all

fsckme.flg
sdb1,vfat,/p5371/slackosave-vbc.2fs
Could not pupsaveresize.txt which currently contains just the amount to increase
the savefile by and is always plopped in the root, also be made savefile location specific?

There is a warning but when you have multiple pups on the same drive the first to
launch gets the early bath! :lol: :)

are you sure you haven't got beta3?
Wifi returns with x.x.x.1 . However, a new feature has appeared when booting with pfix=ram, nox. Black screen with empty task bar strip, except four squares - one coloured pink. Entire machine locked up requiring hard reset. Using pfix=ram only and settings from opening screen + x-refresh, everything works including Opera & FP.

On 2 different desktops when I create a save-file and reboot my little housey icon in the top left corner is displaced inwards and downwards a bit.

Trying to compile Linphone 3.5.2 with video enabled gives me an error in the make sequence, something connected with libavcodec reports as deprecated I think but I am only a novice with such things. (Worked OK in Slacko 5.3.3).

Newbie question: I've been using Slacko 5.3.3 for the last few months and decided to give the latest Slacko 5.4 beta a try out today. Everything worked fine, but I have one little tiny niggle: How do I get the menu items to be collapsed like in Slacko 5.3.3? It does look neater with 3 different sections for "Utilities", etc, but I prefer to have them all in one list. Where can I find the option to do this? Thanks.

Slacko - beta4 [5.4]

#536 Post by Billtoo »

I've been experimenting, I did a full install of the beta 4 PAE
version on an intel i5 processor and it ran well but seemed to run a
little hot.
I deleted that install and did a full install of beta 4 non PAE, it runs
about 8-10 degrees celcius cooler.
The beta 4 PAE full install on my single core amd emachines D620 runs
beautifully.
The beta 4 non PAE full install on my dual core i5 runs beautifully as
well.

Hi Mick,
I finally got 5.3.71 running on the XOs and a couple of things are stricking.

It feels considerable more sluggish than precise. :?
Looks like that gtkdialog 0.8.2 is to be blamed for that as some "time exec" commands show that it needs twice the time that gtkdialog 0.8.0 needs in precise. Looks certainly nicer but 22 seconds to open ppm is rather a lot.
But even C apps like Abiword, gnome-mplayer or gnumeric take ~20% longer. In contrast console apps (ie mplayer) are the same or faster
Any guesses there?
In addition with just htop running, load average is at least twice as high in Slacko vs Precise.
Granted, in a "normal" machine all these go unnoticed, but they do tell something about potential issues.

Finally the sfs (with all extras-to-XOs removed) is 15MB (gzip compressed) bigger than precise. I do not think that firefox adds that much over seamonkey. Any idea where the extra size might come from?

BTW, is time to apply your JWM patch. Unless if you wait for Joe and the upcoming Christmas season :lol:

I believe that the reason is that /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache file is missing. I copied the one from Precise Puppy and after that Pup-Sysinfo launched in 4 secs...instead of 8 secs without the file.

That problem is not due to gtkdialog binary update but due to fact that gtkdialog apps try to find that cache file. I found that by using strace command.
Some time ago...after Radky timed the gtkdialog apps in dpup.

Give up, go silent. What a mess! retrovol should NOT override anything. There are alternatives, even a simple gtkdialog sound slider could work, and automatically be fixed if multiple sound wizard is run. Anyone want to write it?

Slacko 5.3.3 had slickpet that guided me through the installation of ATI catalyst pack. What do you expect me to now? I am both a newbie and an idiot.
There is a bug in Barry's first run which does not list all available refresh rates. Does a resolution for you at least get listed? It's based on xrandr. The output of xrandr would be interesting. As I have settled on kernels, proprietary drivers will come soon, except now there is much more difficult autodetecting for ATI because there are 2 drivers. We'll see.

The logfile shows that we are closer than in beta3, but this is a bit out of my department, so I better just ship the log..
Ok, Do this:
  • boot
  • try sns
  • ok it fails
  • close sns
  • unplug and replug the device
  • try sns again
There is a patch that exists. I'll try to build a new kernel module.

Ok, now what to try here..
Can you mount ntfs ordinarily?
Does an attempt to make the save happen at all?
Any error message? There is supposed to be one if ntfs gets mounted read only.

A known issue, (will go into release notes until resolved).. Ntfs save files should be created just fine. Sometimes, and I stress this has only happened to me once, however, when you boot you get the ugly warning symbols as icons and no wallpaper. This doesn't happen often, but the cause is a failure to remount the save file at first shutdown. The work around is to create your ntfs save file first and save nothing, reboot, run gtk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache, reset the wallpaper then things will be fine. Some people have reported it, I think nooby and one other.

yeah i agree, sloppy, we'll see what we can do, but don't hold your breath, it's not top of the list, and probably not BK's list either.

Unusual, I'll have to try it.

yeah I put in an erroneous space somewhere... fixed. Will likely happen after you load an sfs too.

Hiya! :)


Made multiple fresh save-files with slacko-5.3.7.1-4g, ten or so of them (yeah, I wanted a clean environvemnt to build something that didn't want to build properly), and
first-run ok
shutdown and make save-file ok
bootmanager, load devx
reboot not ok - Black desktop, jwm taskbar; menu, the three launch-icons, four DT-squares -ok, black void where the clock's supposed to show - and a complete hang, requiring a hard reboot :shock: (very similar to what Sage reported).

Upon reboot (after installation of devx) homey-icon jumps diagonally inwards a little bit (like OscarTalks reported).

Subsequent reboots - seems to work.


The program I tried to build was gtk-youtube-viewer (a brilliant perl mess) and after building it, mplayer didn't show other than a blue, or sometimes black, screen, though, sound was working correctly.

Did like pemasu, copied /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache from precise .iso - and mplayer worked (as well as gtk-youtube-viewer).

The experimentalist in me got the better of me, so I deleted /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache and tried again, sometimes mplayer worked, sometimes not ...

copied /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache in again - sometimes mplayer worked, sometimes not ...

Inconsistency!!!
Anyway, ..........

Hope it helps in some way :)
