When I insert a USB drive, clicking on the icon brings up pmount and I have to mount or unmount via pmount before I can view the drive contents in rox. In all other puppies, I can just click the icon to view the contents. Can anyone explain why this was necessary? Is there a way to revert to the usual behaviour?

Go back to the others Puppies... |

Go back to the others Puppies... personally, tonight, i go back to Slacko 5.3.3. No trouble, no nervous breakdown, i Open usb contents by a click.
"It's probably safe to say that all the current pups have been developed on somewhat newer hardware than previous builds, Lucid for example. So I understand exactly as I've experienced the same.. A cumulative system overload. Yeah, it gets to the point I've gotta reboot back into Lucid if I want any type of acceptable performance." Not a bad idea, semme !
Quickpet : none (it's sfs one)
Tahrpup offers a lot of choice, Slacko only provides a kernel, and background... It's a pity

I did eventually go back to tharpup. Even that proved harder than usual under slacko, as the puppy installer would only install the slacko sfs to a flash drive (unless I made a mistake again) so I had to use another laptop with tahr installed.
I'm grateful for the chance to use slacko but for me, I found several disadvantages and no advantages compared to Lucid, Precise or Tahr.

I had no problems with Slacko, and I found it to be friendlier for older hardware. Although basically the same issues apply in all Puppies.
The only thing that might get in the way is the second tray for jwm?
tahrpup has more enhancements and bugfixes that should be in woof? I guess so.
I like it better than tahrpup, though.

Codeblocks on slacko |
|
Since there seems to be no codeblocks in the slackware repository, I have compiled codeblocks 16.01 on slacko 6.3.0.
It can be downloaded from http://www.fishprogs.software/puppy/slacko/codeblocks-16.01.pet. It's about 6.5 MiB in size.
This pet depends on wxGTK being installed from the slackware repository using Puppy Package Manager.
Note on wxwidgets:
The version of wxwidgets in wxGTK is 2.8.12, this is old, but it is ideal for a reliable codeblocks, it is not recommended for developing new wxwidgets based programs.
If you want to get serious about creating wxwidgets applications, I recommend that you research the wxwidgets web site so you can download wxwidgets 3.0.2 source, compile and install it.
If you do this, do NOT uninstall wxGTK, otherwise codeblocks will not run. And recompiling codeblocks to use wxwidgets 3.0.2 is not recommended, it produces an unstable codeblocks.
Edit: Re-uploaded it. Removed some unneeded stuff.

I don't know if anyone has posted about it, but Nathan Wallpaper trips up because of 'Stardust dark.svg' & 'Stardust bright.svg' Nathan Wallpaper Setter gets four errors because of the spaces: in slidshow mode.

How to update Chrome to the latest version? (rel 49) |
|
Hi all,
Please forgive me if I seem like a bit of a noob, but I love Slacko64 6.3 so far, and I really want to make it work for me.
Here's my issue:
- In PPM, the only version of Chrome I see is 46. Yes, I've updated the PPM database.
- The latest version of Chrome is 49. In fact when running 46, the Gmail webpage tells me that this version of Chrome is no longer supported.
- I installed 49 from the Chrome website (both the .deb and the .rpm versions, as I really wasn't sure which one to use, which is a separate noob issue of mine) but when running it, it tells me that it cannot run under the root user.
Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance.
Harris

Sorry, I realize this belongs in the 64-bit thread! I'll recreate it there.

Slacko 6.3.0 (32 bit) exaile downloaded from Salix PPM does not start.
What applications are really available from PPM, that is the question..

su spot ! Subject description: Linux makes things so difficult... |

All dependencies have been kept toggled.
Cannot be run as root su spot ! is the first bug resolved
Python would'nt be at the right place
Slacko is not responsible of bugs in Exaile. Slacko is responsible not to help its users, for applications. Unless Medor came
Tempestuous and Philb666, Vicmz are responsive guys too. .
BK always took time to answers questions,
Tempestous said in the past that it's better to choose older versions , because no prohibition done to root.
Exaile prevents our developers to get pleasure, but users never asked for that
