All programs could probably use a little tweaking.
Tweak away and post your version to the forum.
May turn into the new version for that program.

New problem: When I try to run a script from Geany with F5 it doesn't work. Was no problem in Precise.
As a workaround I changed back to Geany 0.19.1, copied from Precise, with command /usr/bin/xterm -e bash -c in Preferences > Tools > Terminal. But what would be the correct command in Slacko's Geany 1.23.1?
I found a description of the same problem in How to make Geany execute command (F5 key) to work , but unfortunately no solution
Edit:
I guess I found the solution. Posted to above thread

Files and directories whose names contain special characters (ß, ô, ö, etc.) can be opened, but you can't save changes to them.

No problem here:
Code: | # mkdir -p ßôö
# echo hello > ßôö/hello.txt
# echo hello > ßôö/ßôö.txt
# cat ßôö/ßôö.txt
hello
goodbye
|
I edited ßôö/ßôö.txt with geany just fine
Did you get a good download?

In this posting http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=756181#756181 Wilhelm has noted that AbiWord in Slacko 5.6 is a unstable version (2.9.4) The latest stable version being 2.8.6 http://www.abisource.com/
From Menu, Wizard Wizard (PupControl) I see that you can uninstall original programs (Install, Remove Builtin) such as abiword 2.9.4.
After doing that how do I install abiword 2.8.6 (stable) ?
TIA

Try to download this from slackware 14 (slacko's libs are compatible with slackware 14.0):
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-14.0/office/abiword/2.8.6/abiword-2.8.6-i486-9sl.txz
To install just click on the package. Perhaps you'll have to change the desktop file in /usr/share/applications. I suggest to backup before trying. If you have a frugal install copy your savefile with another name and try.
Edit: I have tried it. It works but you need a symlink, too:
Code: | ln -s /usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.4.0.1 /usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.3 |
No need to change the desktop file.

THX
Tried it and it failed with
error loading shares libraries: libqconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
Rolled back to a saved savefile. I'll just use OpenOffice Writer that I've SFS'd in.

Discovered the abiword instability for myself today.
Wrote a page or so, pasted in some images and moved them around. Went to save and it completely locked up the system. Directory name was filled with square (extended) characters. 100% CPU, had to reboot.
Another bug that I'm occasionally experiencing is with the right (up/down) scroll bar. Sometimes the moveable 'block' stays where it is whilst the page scrolls, such that when you come to scroll again the block is in the wrong place. That might be a firefox thing as I've not seen that occur elsewhere.

This one might be too new, in which case, this one. Paul likes to keep his libs current.

Thanks.
Leaving the original (2.9) installed and installing the second of those two likes in the previous posting and then entering the link command as advised by watchdog did the job.
I've also deleted /usr/share/abiword-2.9 (leaving just the 'new' abiword-2.8 directory).
Things look good thanks (excepting that there are two Abiword menu items under MENU, DOCUMENTS)

Kernel Init - Not Syncing |
|
Hello,
I've found an issue, which is kind of odd.
On my netbook I've found that there is a Kernel Panic that occurs during the boot sequence. I've seen this on other pups before, usually on a frugal that's 2FS file's has gotten heavy, but this is a full on a 300GB HD with 1GB of onboard RAM (it's an Atom-based HP Mini).
Usually waiting for the whole panic and restarting causes the machine to start fine.
Any idea why?

Just wanted to say thanks for this release. It was the only OS that would run on this old abused machine stably. I am happy that I found this as I have adopted it as my pet.
Took some training, but she's a beaut in my eyes.
Sorry; couldn't figure out how you guys upload file to home host....

openssl on slacko 5.6 |
|
Does anyone have any tips for the best way to install the latest openssl on slacko 5.6?
I am showing:
# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
#
which I understand is one of the heartbleed affected versions.

You'll find it in Menu -> Setup -> Updates Manager.
