I tried 4 slacko builds with the latest woof-CE tonight (13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2):
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... zq9H4U0GGV

The main 14.2 (6.9.6.4) is the only 'stable' one though, maybe I'll work on the other 3 some more later. *goes to sleep*

I'm not skilled enough to do it myself: would you build the slacko64-6.9.6.4 with latest woof-ce? I'm using a too old build by 01micko without encrypted savefile.

Same. I *think* the sfs files need to be resquashed differently. I might try a full install next. Making an adrv with xorg_base_new got 14.0 to boot, I might try to work out more of the kinks in that one first because Slacko 5.7 was one of my favorites. :)

I could do it but it would be a cross-compile. Perhaps belham2 (or 01micko himself?) would be better for building a 64-bit? :D

Ok, I tried a x86_64 cross-build. It booted, but during 3builddistro-Z it said something like "Bright Mouse not found", so after I booted I had to go to Menu -> Desktop -> Puppy Theme Manager and Apply Bright Mouse (or another theme) to get a real desktop then I had to do Menu -> Leave -> Restart graphical server (or the icons would act frozen). I also noticed that the "Open with" menu was pretty sparse (maybe 5 items) when finding out that clicking on a png didn't open it in the graphics viewer. I used the 3.14.54 64-bit kernel from Tahr because it is the only one that comes with b43 driver (as far as I know). Heh.

I think I fixed those errors now, but it was kind of a hack job. I noticed that the certs thing does "cd $ETCCERTSDIR" into etc/ssl/certs, then never leaves it, so I added a cd "$CWD" at line 213 so that it "finds where it is again" and I didn't get the errors any more. At least, I think that's what might be happening. I'll know soon enough if my next cross-build works better or worse. :lol:

lol I accidently waited the entire 60 seconds during the "red error message blast" and to my surprise it actually started booting after that on my laptop. I always thought that red failed message was like the blue screen of death "endgame" scenario until now. It seems that the problem has something to do with mounting the zdrv onto initrd/pup_z, I tried resquashing it all in the puppy.sfs instead (not using a zdrv) and that worked. When trying to connect I got complains from both sns and frisbee about gtkdialog. It definitely feels like the most alpha of the slacko testing options that could use some tweaks by CE I think. :)

@Sailor Enceladus

I'm playing with your last build of slacko64-6.9.6.4. The live is properly working but I want to rescue my adrv.sfs from previous defective build. A lot of work has been done about theming: excellent! Autohide of the tray1 is not implemented: am I wrong? I have choosen the Original Pup theme.

EDIT: I have changed the following line in in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-tray1_hybrid:

Code: Select all

<Tray autohide="top" insert="right" layer="below" halign="center" valign="top" height="48" layout="horizontal" >

I saw that O1micko has updated Slacko beta to 6.9.6.6 so I did a fresh
woof-CE install and a new build:

It's using the 4.4.61 kernel that I compiled a few days ago with the
kernel kit to use with Dpup Stretch.

It's using the proprietary nvidia driver.

Works good so far.

Hi Billtoo.

Thanks for testing.

There are a couple of new additions to the repo - libreoffice-5.2.2.2 (a little old but still works well - compiled in slacko with a recipe from jamesbond - many thanks :) ) and palemoon compiled in slacko which on opening presents itself as "New Moon" however works just the same.

If you or anyone else want to try these just alter/edit DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-slackware-14.2 (or corresponding 64 version) like so; (ignoring the dots of course)
'...
no|abiword||exe,dev,doc,nls
...
no|gnumeric||exe,dev,doc,nls
...
no|goffice||exe,dev,doc,nls
...
yes|libreoffice||exe,dev| #if you flip this to yes you MUST install lodeps_boost so flip it to yes too
...
yes|lodeps_boost||exe
...
no|mozilla-firefox|mozilla-firefox|exe,dev>null,doc>null| #must keep maintained if used, no from patches repo
...
yes|palemoon||exe,dev
...
...'
But this doesn't quite do it as libreoffice isn't set as defaultspreadsheet or defaultwordprocessor.
Woof has a mechanism to fix this: a file called _00build.conf.

Here is what the bottom of it currently looks like:

Code: Select all

## -- Default Apps --
## Not all are implemented in the puppy scripts,
##   but you can specify a default app if you wish...
## If you specify a value it will override anything that previously
##   set that value in the corresponding script...

Edit _00build.conf to look like this: (note the libreoffice entries near the bottom)

Code: Select all

## Not all are implemented in the puppy scripts,
##   but you can specify a default app if you wish...

You are now done editing and just build away. Works ok for me.

Have fun :)

NB: I tried to compile palemoon for 32 as sse but can't test as my last athlonXP mobo died some months back. Any feedback on that is appeciated. If you install in slacko-6.9.6.4 then hunspell-1.6 is needed too, found if you update the repo.

Hi,

Thankyou for the updates.

I'll give the instructions that you posted a try in the next few days.

The kernel kit is working well now.

The proprietary Nvidia driver is installed, the Nvidia site told me
that my browser needed updating but finally let me download the driver.

I have the computer connected to a 32" TV with an HDMI cable, good for
my old eyes :)

Thanks.

Hi Billtoo!

Where might this new version be hiding? I for one would like to check it out and I'm sure there are others!

Hi sszindian,

It's a diy build that I did to test the changes that 01micko has done to update the beta to 6.9.6.6

I won't be posting it but I'd guess that 01micko will be posting new 32 and 64 bit betas before too long.

I just followed the instructions on page 1 of this thread, need a 10gb directory named "work", enter that directory and open a terminal (while running the 6.9.6.4 beta with the devx loaded) then copy and paste the steps into the terminal, start to finish takes a couple of hours but you'll end up with version 6.9.6.6

I might just wait for mic's release... Oh by the way, did you ever get a google earth working in the 14.2 Slacko 64? Been driving me nuts :)
