I tried a Slacko 6.9.9.9-uefi (32-bit) build with last night's woof-CE here: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/o2hpqpbhd2ohi/14.2
Changes:
- The adrv has Palemoon 27.6.2 (Walter Dnes SSE version) and Abi/Gnumeric
- patched jwm-2.3.2 with the first freezing fix mentioned here, it is working much better for me now so far
- chose Original Pup as the default theme, and gnome-mplayer as the default music player
- kernel has firmware-140621-cut, if you are missing any drivers/functionality there's instructions on how to swap kernels here

a re-compile of jwm-2.3.2 to patch the freezing menu/desktop issue

@Sailor Enceladus
thank you very much for sharing
regarding "intel freezing problem"
since I'm using uxa acceleration I had no kind of hanging or freezing any more

suicidal wifi service |
|
Using both the woof-CE 6.9.9.9 iso builds from me and norgo I have noticed that after a while my wifi connection will just die completely. My wifi is not great and goes on and off in other distros but here when I try to reconnect it will say "no wireless signals available" even though there's always 10-15 around here so it is like the entire wifi interface has been turned off or service terminated. Using slacko 14.0 with the same woof-CE has not caused this problem so I'm guessing it might have been an upgrade in slackware 14.2 dhcpcd that broke something but haven't scanned the logs yet just booted into something else.
edit: I used SNS to connect, might try Frisbee next and see if it acts the same or not later.

with slacko-6.9.9.9-uefi-k4.4-PAE-PM-LO.iso i had randomly hangs in networking on booting connected via eth0. when that occured, pup-event didn't respond to connecting usb-drives.
tried to reproduce this behavior with norgo's build. connected to internet every boot so far. (ATM over wlan - also working for me)
an other issue i found (maybe):
tried to compile audacious 3.9 from source and get error
Code: | # make
Entering directory src.
Entering directory dbus.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gdbus-codegen", line 37, in <module>

Hi Sailor,
I did your test today for comparison.
Here my result:
I can confirm that after a while any kind of data transfer via WiFi is not possible any more.
After dis- and reconnecting, WiFi is working again.
My observation:
This only happens if you've had no data traffic for a couple of minutes before.
If you are listening to Internet radio e.g., connection will be stable for hours.
Maybe a power management problem ? I'm not sure.
@HerrBert
see PM

Performed the tests today at my laptop with internal intel wifi card.
Result: No problems at all
This means, the problem is hardware depending and more and more my guess is a power management issue.

Thanks norgo. I haven't seen the issue at all today so glad to see it's not an everyday occurrence (knock on wood ).

Hello.
slacko-6.9.9.9-uefi-k4.4-PAE-PM-LO.iso
frugal install with savefolder on HDD ( ext3, subfolder )
Some notes. Or the first impression of..
sry for not reading all 27 pages.
___
Got the impression that the et_EE and am_ET locales are mixed/messed up some...
See the screenshot below, however XKB Configuration Manager can fix it runtime.
To have the correct layout:
Setup -> Mouse/keyboard wizard -> Input Wizard -> Advanced configuration -> (OK) -> XKB Configuration Manager
-> Layouts -> (Change) -> (OK) -> (Yes) -> (Exit)
Can be "long running" as I have not tested prior versions.
Not an issue with any other Puppy so far, that I know of..
Kinda wild quess about first-run.. ?
___
JWM.
Is it possible to remove the "XY location pop-up" window?
From graphical UI? Maybe I did not find it..
One could edit the /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal ( /root/.jwm is a hidden folder )
with Geany or Leafpad, and change lines:
<!-- The move mode (outline or opaque) -->
<MoveMode>opaque</MoveMode>
<!-- The resize mode (outline or opaque) -->
<ResizeMode>opaque</ResizeMode>
to look like this:
<!-- The move mode (outline or opaque) -->
<MoveMode coordinates="off" >opaque</MoveMode>
<!-- The resize mode (outline or opaque) -->
<ResizeMode coordinates="off" >opaque</ResizeMode>
..while that is not the most intuitive way.
___
How to turn off the "bleep" at startup?
Only for Slacko, others don't bleep..
___
I hope it helps.. someone.. maybe.
Good luck!

I tried this version of slacko and found no evidence of "intel freezing problem".
On my desktop, 01micko's slacko is virtually unusable without the "uxa acceleration" fix, and the problem shows itself from the start.
But running this slacko in the same environment displayed no problems.
My test:
I booted this slacko "out-of-the box" from a manual frugal install, no problems, in the few utilities I ran, and the "Exit" screen.
I rebooted and replaced the kernel with the 4.4.70 from 01micko's slacko, and my "overlayfs" initrd.gz.
I used this for a while, running many utilities, and many reboots.
No sign of the "intel freezing problem" and I did not apply any "uxa acceleration" fix.

@norgo,
Given the success of "slacko-6.9.9.9-uefi_r5737.iso" I decided to give "slacko-700-RC3_k4.4.70-PAE_2017-12-10.iso" a go.
And it worked without a hitch, without me applying any "uxa acceleration" fix.
Yes I was using it as test of my "mk-overlay-iso" script, and hence replaced the "initrd.gz", but that should be irrelevant to the "intel freezing problem".
So thanks, it was such a pain doing first boots of slacko, with the "intel freezing problem".

Hello @gyro
thank you for testing and feedback
Downloaded today Sailor's ISO for test.
Sorry but I can't detect a difference to the former versions, unfortunately.
Freezing happened extrem rarely and I don't know how to force it.
After usage of uxa acceleration I've never seen such a behave.
To reproduce a hanging of an application window is quite easy, see intel_test_-vo_xv.mkv
As the file name indicate, this only happens under usage of XV video output driver.
After that I did this test once again using uxa acceleration.
Result: absolute impossible to get a hanging or freezing of application windows.

Xenialpup64 7.5 appears to have the same locale bug..
No idea. Does it originate from Puppy, or comes from upstream?

Downloaded slacko64-6.9.9.9-uefi-k4.9-FF-LO.iso yesterday. I have an intel box which has a history of freezing and/or dropping the keyboard and mouse without the boot kernel parameter, <intel_idle.max_cstate=1>. Booted slacko64 without the fdrive and no boot parameters other than 'ram' and everything worked without so much as a hiccup. I think it's the best slacko yet!

build fail |
|
Wanted to build a snapshot of today's Slacko-700 testing branch, but unfortunately it fails.
./1download alerted that following packages couldn't downloaded: grub, installwatch and xdg_puppy_jwm
So I had a look into downloaded DISTRO_PET_REPOS.
The table of contents of "Packages-puppy-common-official" is empty and "PKG_DOCS_PET_REPOS" doesn't contain such an entry.
Unfortunately this commit deleted the table of contents of this REPO and a recent version doesn't become loaded because there is no address defined.
So the download of some PET's fails.
Because the pet_packages-common and pet_packages-noarch differ it would be useful to remain both DOC entries in PKG_DOCS_PET_REPOS.
I added "z|http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/Packages-puppy-common-official|z" to PKG_DOCS_PET_REPOS
and got the table of contents and PET's downloaded again.
The real problem comes now
./3builddistro-Z stopped working with following error message:
Code: | initrd_progs-20170706-2-static.tar.x 100%[====================================================================>] 4.01M 983KB/s in 4.2s

@norgo: Same behavior here when running ./1download. Packages-puppy-common-official seems to be empty.
