only one problem
I have installed slacko PAE and I have one problem:
When I open the program Resize personal storage file only let me resize 512 Mb and not more, I want resize 2 Gb.
If someone can check it, please say me.
Thanks.

Re: only one problem
the resize tool creates a text file, open and replace the current size with what you want in KB (without the kb).mister_electronico wrote:I have installed slacko PAE and I have one problem:

thanks... you gave me the idea
Thanks bark_bark_bark gave me the idea, I found the script what make the personal resize is /usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh
Open this file and chage :
KILOBIG=
case ${REPLYX} in
15)# 16M
KILOBIG=16384
;;
14)# 32M
KILOBIG=32768
;;
10)# 64M
KILOBIG=65536
;;
11)# 128M
KILOBIG=131072
;;
12)# 256M
KILOBIG=262144
;;
13)# 512M
KILOBIG=524288
;;
*)
exit
;;
esac
in 13)# 512M
524288 x 4 = 2097152 and replace
524288 by 2097152 and work.
Anyway I think that this is not the way, and should look if it is a failure of the distribution, and if so change it.
Thanks.

I think you looking at the wrong file. It is in the root of your partition where you have installed puppymister_electronico wrote:Thanks bark_bark_bark gave me the idea, I found the script what make the personal resize is /usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh
i think it looks like this: slackosave*.txt (the word resize is the file name.)

resize personal file
Hi bark_bark_bark, I did not find that file.
Anyway I solved the problem as I said.
I thought this only if there is a fault, the developers have in mind.
Thanks.

I didn't have any linux swap partition and after a while I got a low

made an 8gb swap partition out of it.
The new swap partition shows up in htop so hopefully the low memory
error is history.

More MPlayer fun........ in Slacko 5.6 will not play anything ,and I mean anything, on my main Athlon XP box.
However, on an install on an old P4 box MPlayer plays everything.... just tested a few flv,mp4 and mkv samples.
No such problems with the 5.5 install on the Athlon XP. Guess I'll try a different build of MPlayer....

I found that gnome-mplayer's language settings (audio and subtitles) may be broken in this compilation. Disabling subtitles makes working gnome-mplayer. In Edit-Preferences-Mplayer insert as Extra Options to MPlayer:
In Edit-Preferences-Subtitles untick the box "Show subtitles by default", too.
EDIT: as Extra Options to MPlayer also works:
(Change it with your locale...)

filemnt + losetup
Hi Mick
When mounting encrypted savefile file via mouse-click (filemnt) and a password typed in is incorrect, /dev/loopX remains associated with it and one can not unmount a partition, on which this savefile is.
What works for me is:
in /usr/sbin/filemnt, ~ line 189.
And although I haven't encountered any problems with it (so far), I'm a bit uncertain - perhaps you recall that the use of 'losetup -d' was once a culprit in sfs_load, with kernels >= 3.2.
Hmm, I don't know...just reporting...maybe it's rare enough to leave it as is..?
Greetings!

Finally got got around to installing the Nvidia driver on this box. Ran the video upograde wizard which offered and installed the "old" 173.14.37 driver. Installed and working ok. But, in Mageia I'm using Nvidia 295.71 , Lucid is using 260.19.12, Mepis and Mint are both running 304.88.
I know this chip uses the newest Nvidia drivers but the newbies possibly wouldn't.

I compiled mplayer from today. I think I know what was wrong with the old one now. I enabled "--enable-runtimecpudetect" and that seems to let run on my fast box and a slow box. At one point that was automatic, but I think that was a bug so they reverted it, don't quote me on that though!
grab it << http://01micko.com/packages/MPlayer-2013-08-30-i486.pet
As for gnome-mplayer, yeah I know mine is 1.0.8b but in the changelog from that to stable was only 1 relevant detail to do with music playlists, wasn't worth my effort. I have been in contact with Kevin DeCorte since the Lucid days so I know it well.
As for later versions, well they don't build as they need automake-1.13 and we are at 1.11. I am not updating that as it will likely affect too much. If I find the energy to build against Slackware-14.1 (coming soon) then that will be taken care of. With this new mplayer compile and Xine as a choice, most people should be able to run dvds. watchdog's find could be a cause as well,
