I'll check again, may have got a truncated download.

EDIT: maybe it's a truncated upload?

Just check package-zarfy-0.1.0.files in /root/.packages and the size of your local .pet
My pet looks the same as above.
I edited my previous post and removed the pet, then added a link to the zarfy.SlackBuild for anyone who wants to setup for 2 monitors.

Better than nothing I hope.

I'll build zarfy and put it up at the repo. Thanks

Anyway, you can get 5.9.3 from http://01micko.com/testing/slacko-591/

I'm pulling it over to ibilio but they have big bandwidth problems ATM. Yesterday it copied iin a few seconds at 10 M/s, now its 25K/s :roll: eta, 98 mins. I'll announce it then. There is a delta too. Devx, just use 5.9.2, nothing changed there except version and ID string.

Sorry for not showing up on time with tests of the beta.

I got sidetracked by a "kernel panic" message (and halt, obviously) when
I tried to load the pupsave I had done for the alpha, in the beta. It
happened upon increasing the size of the pupsave. Actually, the pusave
size has been increased. It happens after -- then it says
"Setting up the layered fs"
(...)
"Mounting unionfs" -- thought this Puppy was using aufs...
Follow some lines dumped from kernel log.


In any case jotted down some screen lines; can retype if it is of interest.

Is that just me? The woof? slacko-6.0? Anybody had a similar experience?

Then, I re-tested with a virgin slacko, using a folder as pupsave: no
glitches at all.

BFN.

Might be a side effect of the bad bug which caused me to post 5.9.3. There are deltas to minimise download. It will be announced soon but it is available now in my post above., not hyperlinked because apparently my server is too slow.

Savefile size increase worked for me, though I didn't test encrypted type savefile. (Clarification: in 5.9.3)

'unionfs' is a generic term used. AUFS= Another Union File System. I don't think anyone will care too much. :)

Thanks for bearing with these issues. It's a pretty big change in the way things work and we are certainly finding that out the hard way! It will be of benefit in the long run.

Good news, abiword lovers!

And no offense intended to micko... You'll understand as you read. I think
this is the kind of synergy Puppy needs.

A couple of weeks ago, Médor, from the French side of the forum,
compiled a FULL version of abiword 3 running under gtk 2. Full, meaning:
with all plugins and internationalisation.

Médor's compile is here:
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/fe0eed45
and the discussion here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... t=lastpost

Please see attached pics.

I proceeded as follows to incorporate his Abiword in slacko 6.0 beta 3.

I unpacked Médor's sfs intended for Puppy Precise 5.7.1 and copied all its
contents to my slacko 6 pupsave folder, / to /, /usr to /usr, and so on.

You will also need Médor's additional pet from here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=77142
From this one, you only need to extract Médor's larger libjpg library to
slacko 6's /usr/lib.

Finally, we create a link from the libffi-blabla-6 library (I'll be back with
the more precise name, obviously, a little later) to libffi-blabla-5. (Or
import the one from a Puppy Precise 5.7.1 installation you may have, but
that's an unnecessary step.)

And WYS in the pictures below IWYG.

I hope this will save some time, especially for those of our collegues
whose native language is neither English nor French, and also for those
who may find the full complement of abiword's plugins useful.

BFN.

Gateway laptop Pentium M on an Intel chipset with Intel graphics .... no mouse, no tab at FirstRUN to get to dead-mouse, no keyboard actions, unable to ctrl-alt-Fx or ctrl-alt-bksp??? Download MD5 checks! Same results with 592 as with this 593.

No such occurrence when booting to a KVM guest on Slacko64. Mouse works but issues with desktop dialogue buttons under KVM.

Please advise

When "configure tray (taskbar)" of JWM configuration manager is called form pTheme ("more" button in tray/menu size), does not work. ie no response to button clicks.
However, when called for JWM configuration manager directly works fine. :?

UPDATE: ffconvert-1.4.2.pet (2014-06-23)
Thanks a lot! :)
___________

Continuing the subject of SFS files, I noticed something worrying (PUPMODE=13).
Firstly, I thought that increasing CNTLOOP=5 would decrease the number of possible extra SFS files (via BootManager, not sfs_load) from 6 to 5.
But it's worse - max. number of SFSes I was able to load is 4 (one of which got mysteriously mounted on /dev/loop1, see screenie).
And it's because the amount of available loop devices has dropped from 11 (0-10) to 8 (0-7).
Well, /initrd/pup_ro2/dev/ still shows all of them, but /dev is now a mount point and I suspect in this case CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT=8 has precedence.
And init does not check if there's a free loop, just blindly mounts until CNTLOOP=10, but since /dev/loop7 is the last one, only 5,6,7 (and 1 ?!) got utilized.

Greetings!

Is that only at boot time by the bootmanager? I can mount 9 loops just fine
