Google earth is run from the Google Chrome browser now, displays perfectly on this intel chip, all earlier Google Earth versions have problems with intel graphics (dark blocks all through the screen).
Nice

The JWM 2.3.x "clicking on the menu freezes the desktop" bug still happens for me occasionally in Slacko64 6.9.6.7 (where a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is usually required to regain any response when clicking on things). It doesn't seem computer specific because I'm on a newer Core2Duo laptop at the moment, using the default theme that came with the iso. I might compile a 64-bit version of jwm-905 today too then. I've also had the problem happen with Tahr and Xenialpup and Slacko632 with JWM 2.3.x.

anyone know about this? |

Hi all,
I went to use "SFS-Download-Manager-0.14" that's included in Slacko-700b3 (32-bit) to download one of the SFS-options, specifically the "qt4-4.8.7_slacko-7.0.sfs" that pops up as a choice to download.
So I hit download, and it downloaded to the expected /mnt/home directory, but then it popped up a failed-integrity-check message. Anyone know what's up with this? Is it safe to use, lol?? Or is it just that's it hopelessly outdated now as mostly everything requires some form of qt5?
Thanks for any replies.

It works in this newer build of Slacko64 6.9.9.1
I guess 01micko fixed it.
EDIT: OOPS, didn't read carefully, you're talking about the 32bit Slacko beta, I haven't tried that one lately.
EDIT2: I just did a woof-CE build (rationalise branch) of the 32bit beta 6.9.9.1 and it has the same error that you're seeing in 32bit b3.

I'm using currently Slacko-6.9.6.7 testing branch 2017-05-15 kernel 4.1.11 PAE and
can confirm the desktop freezing problem.
It happens very rarely but it happens.
Yesterday I had once again such a desktop freeze.
Had two applications opened and clicked at the window of the inactive application.
After that the only way was to restart the xserver using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
Up to now it happened on both of my computers,
both are using an intel graphics chip.

The memory issue was in the 32bit version of Slacko.
The 64bit version is working correctly and seeing all memory.
This computer does have integrated graphics. It has a Intel i5 processor.
However, the integrated graphics is not being used.
A Geforce GTX 970 graphics card with 4GB of memory is providing graphics.

Thanks norgo. Both of mine are intel graphics too! I wonder if there is a connection.

For what it's worth, the 4.4.67 kernel shows the battery icon level for me in color, but 3.16.43 always just shows it as gray/dead.

On startup... if you press F2, you get the screen of boot options but... the cursor doesn't show up to do anything with them! Hitting escape-key gets you back to the first boot screen.
The update program feature that was in 6.9.6.4 (getting them direct from Slackware) was much easier and nicer to use instead of having to update the PPM then search for and install the updates... 'Mind you, just my opinion!
Overall, it's a very nice program and things seem to work as they should... 'so far'... Testing continues.

PS: Thanks for the new Google Earth builds... the 64-bit works although slow, slow, starting up and doing any tilt-features etc., on this old Intel graphics card.
The Google Earth 32-bit will not run even with the 32-bit libs installed.

Hi all,
Running a new installation made with "F2FS installer - Flash Drives" on a Mac mini (mid 2011) with Intel HD Graphics 3000 or on a Samsung ATIV Book 2 with Intel HD Graphics 4000, I receiving these errors in /var/log/messages:

Adding "i915.modeset=0" argument in grub, solves the problem.

maybe change of "AccelMethod" from "sna" to "uxa" could help ?
update:
tried to force a GPU hang using "AccelMethod" "uxa"
result: no GPU hang up to now ( I gave my best )
How to force a GPU hang
open a video player like SMplayer and play a video in high resolution
open a second application e.g. Abiword, grab a window corner and resize this window very fast multiple times
mostly GPU hang is the result
@Sailor Enceladus
Sailor I need a test object
please create a text file 20-intel.conf with following content
Quote: | Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
|
copy this file to etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
restart X-server

Slacko64 6.9.6.7
Default Image Viewer:
When you click on a Picture (in your Pictures folder) the default image viewer works as it should and... when you select the 'slideshow' feature it works as it should selecting different pictures... however, when you go to 'full screen' it doesn't display all pictures full-screen size (as previous viewers did). If the original picture is only 2x3-inches, that's the size picture you get on full-screen.

Slacko 64bit version
Did not check the Slacko 32bit version, but I assume results would be the same.
Checked the offered help in all programs.
These programs had a help offered, but selecting help options offered no help documents.
Got error or nothing visible to see.
LibreOffice (all programs)
MtPaint
System Profiler and Benchmark
Xarchive
Pfind
Notecase
Document Viewer
Homebank
Sylpheed
