Slacko 5.7 final - 8 March 2014
RE: PPM double-click
Vox populi, vox Dei.
Ok, I can revert the single click, but the only way (for now, maybe me or someone else will find a better way later) to do it is to disable column resizing (as Mick did in SFS/Update managers), however I just checked and thankfully at least sorting can be retained safely, without the threat of this bug.
Is it ok that way?
Also, made a quick test a most likely choosing via keyboard also could be preserved!
Anyway, thanks for opinions about it, appreciated.
Greetings!

Hi Oldyeller, the window closes or just minimizes?oldyeller wrote:I don't know if this would be a bug, But when playing gnome-player and hitting the tray button will hide the player and when hitting again it will not make it viewable at all. It starts to but closes right away so you can not view it.
Hope this makes since.
Cheers
In my case after pressing the tray icon, gnome-player's window returns (shows up on taskbar), but it's simply minimized.
It seems to be JWM related; under IceWM it behaves as expected...

Not a problem, while I personally didn't like the feature I can now see what you were trying to do. You did the right thing giving it a shot this early in the testing while there was time for people to give feedback. Perhaps you could make turning it on optional, like double-clicking is in ROX? IIRC there is an options screen in PPM already.SFR wrote:RE: PPM double-click

Latest stable Gparted is v0.17.0 - website is http://www.gparted.org
Used the version of Gparted in current testbuild of Slacko (0.16.0 IIRC) to repartition the new 1TB internal SATA HDD in the Pentium D. Main OS is Win 7 Pro 64-Bit, I've successfully resized the main Windows partition and created an 8GB Linux Swap partition, a 10GB ext4 for a main full install of Puppy, a 100GB ext4 for Linux data and a 12GB ext4 for test full installs.
Currently have a Full of 5655 (PAE version) under test. Seems to be working well at the moment. Wireless setup on that is via Frisbee, proper icon appears when connected. Clock was still truncated with 12hr am/pm setup.
Set up Grub4Dos via Grub4DosConfig and customised menu.1st (or menu.lst, can never remember). Win 7 Pro install, set as default, still working fine as does the XP install on another drive.
Are we sure this is an Alpha?

About double click
Maybe there should be some additional button in PPM like "install" or "remove" to handle selected item in the list. Double click on the item or pressing the button should do the same thing. You don't like double click - press the button.
My personal opinion is that there are already enough opportunities for you to change your mind in the currently established PPM workflow.

bigpup, I do understand your concern, but ff-esr-17.0.11 is the latest with security fixes (it is LTS, aka ESR) and we will be following that line with official slacko.bigpup wrote:The Update Manager is not keeping up with the latest releases.
@ reasons.
- 1. bloat -- ff > 20 is several megabytes larger.
2. speed -- my benchmark machine is an old IBM Thinkpad r51. ff > 20 runs like treacle on that thing so evidently they have increased the need for resources.

I posted my compile of cinelerra video editor 2.2.
It works well if you have a fast processor and lots of ram and hard
disk space.
Warning!! Don't install on a machine that will do compiling since
several libraries are changed with links.

Hardinfo crashes 5.6.5.2 - nvidia graphics
Frugal pristine manual installs of Slacko 5.6.5.2
Hardinfo - Summary kills my desktop pc with nvidia graphics - screen dissolves into a mass of tiny pixels and the only way out is to switch off at the power button.
The nouveau driver is selected - if I drop out to the console and run xorgwizard and select the modesetting driver then the problem goes away and Hardinfo - Summary works as expected.
The problem is not present on Slacko5.6
My desktop pc specs from PupSysInfo (which works fine) are attached - remove false .gz
Does anybody else get problems with hardinfo with nvidia??
Cheers

Swapped in a GF2Pro. Firstly get the vertical stripes. CTRL-ALT-BCKSPCE gives black screen, monitor OFF, one bark when I hit the hard reset! pfix=ram,nox, nouveau fails to shown 'OK', nv shows horiz stripes at bottom screen. C-A-B, Nothing - black screen. Other options require reboot so unable to test.
Good news is that this is my bench XP so will dump nV cards for Slacko until fix appears.

Woes with the newer kernel and nvidia has forced me back to a 3.4x kernel for the non-PAE version. I think this is a wise choice. Keep your eyes open for beta in the days ahead.

I too will be looking forward for this. I built a new desktop and can not run any of the newer slackos. Right now I am on slacko 533.01micko wrote:@Sage and peebee

Even when I disable the UEFI I still can not run any of the news
But I still have my lappy that can use them
Cheers
Mick, there is a tremendous amount of excellent work going on with Slackos in Puppyland. Thanks for all you are doing. Looking forward to testing this.
I saw this
Testing to follow.

Think you may mean Phat-Slacko. Looking forward to that, as well, for the 32bit PCs.My other not so well publicised OS will be shipping with FF-esr-24.X when it's ready.. more soon on that (still slacko/puppy/woof based)
Testing to follow.
