Resizing top panel works fine for me - right click on the panel....see screenie

Flash - known problem: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 449#928449

What I did -

First increased the 'Bottom-Tray' to 55 in height (I like bottom tray larger also) and increased icons to 45

Then -

Tried to increase the 'Top-Tray' to 55 in height... it would not work.

So -

Dropping the height of the 'Bottom-Tray' back down to 34 and also decreasing the icon-size, I was able to increase the 'Top-Tray' to my desired height of 55 (also increased the icon-size where I wanted it)

What it looks like is you 'Can't Increase Both' top and bottom trays???

>>>---Indian------>

PS: Other than that little thing, the program is running well so far so on with the testing.

Oh... one more thing... phil was able to change a few things in the Tahr64 32-bit libs packet for Xenial64 to use them for 32-bit programs. any chance of the same for Slacko 32-bit libs? the old ones don't seem to cut it!

'Thanks'

Hi

No problem here.....

Right click bottom panel -> Panel Settings - adjust size

Right click top panel -> Panel Settings - adjust size

Both work simultaneously.....

32-bit libs is a question for 01micko.... suggest you post on the slacko7 thread....

Cheers

Oh Boy.... Two independant tray functions.... I was trying to do both top and bottom tray from 'one-tray-function' somehow must of hit the right switch combo for my last post? Anyway good to know that!

The PPM hplip packages (slacko & salix) are both missing the 'libpython2.7.so.1.0' and don't work for HP scanners on All-In-One printers (print function works fine). I don't have one of these laying around (nor could I find a .pet of this anywhere) ?

Python is in the devx.sfs so probably this needs to be loaded.....

I booted the live CD and ran the UEFI Installer-Flash Drives to a 32gb
Flash drive. It wouldn't install the files from the CD so I had to use
the iso.

I added inix and gkrellm with PPM, also added a cmus pet.

The touchsreen is working, haven't tested much yet.

Installed 01micko's new 32bit libs for 14.2 from his home-site...

They don't work with my 32-bit google earth .sfs (this version of google earth works with all my other pup's 32 or 64 bit)

terminal reports:
# googleearth
libGL error: unable to load driver: i915_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i915
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Google Earth has caught signal 11.

Hope some other testor's try some 32-bit programs with these new libs.

Hi all,

I'm wondering what the current status of LxPup64 (Xenial) is currently?

Is it still reaaally experimental? Would you say that I could trust it as my main OS yet?

(Or is this the wrong thread and only for Slacko?)

Hi

There is no such build as LxPup64-Xenial I'm afraid....and unlikely to be...

Basically, the Ubuntu ways of dividing packages into smaller and smaller subdivisions plus the lack of standardisation on how lib and lib64 should relate in 64 builds makes such a build too difficult...

Slackware is much more sane!

Sorry.

Thanks Peebee.

That leads me to 3 more question though

1. How does Tahrpup do it then with the Ubuntu packages? (Is that because Tahrpup is a larger project and you're just a one-man-show?)

2. Is the Slacko 64 bit stable enough to run with as a main OS then?

3. How do Slacko and Ubuntu compare? Does one sacrifice on software if running a Slacko install? (Think I read once that Slackware is essentially a one-man-band, so you're kind of at the mercy of that guy? Could be confusing it with something else though.)

1. LxPupTahr64 only ever appeared as an experiment in 10/2015 and had gvfs problems:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 240#868240

2. I'm not the best to answer this as I don't run 64-bit....best answer is to try it and see....frugal install tho!

3. Different repositories - different ethos (a Benign Dictator is often better than rule by Committee!) Also Ubuntu has gone down the systemd route which is an anathema to most Puppy-ists and can lead to dependency problems....a discussion better conducted on one of the more general threads....

Thanks Peebee.

That makes me have more questions about Slacko, but yeah, let's just leave this thread relevant and I'll take them to another post.

This is a derivative of Slacko64-700-Beta3 (slacko64-6.9.6.7) with kernel 4.4.67

This iso is an experiment to see if LxPup64 can be built on top of Slacko64-7 and the iso will be replaced by 17.0x.1 once Slacko64-700 is released.

The iso is BIG mainly because Firefox and LibreOffice are included in the adrv

Wow, Peebee, what a difference this 4.4.67 kernel makes (in latest slacko64 it runs great, and in your lxpup64). At least on my older stuff. Thanks

Hi Peebee,

Finally got around this afternoon to upgrading to 17.06. Was a little nervous leaving the 4.4 kernel and going to this 4.9. but, my worries were for naught. Whatever Micko's (or whomever) has been doing with the kernel, the problems seem to have disappeared for my slightly older hardware. Thanks for putting this together.....I've found no problems, added redshift, dual monitors, pmcputemps, uextract, replaced FF with the better Opera, and added a few other things.....even managed to get Dreamchess running on it Now I just have to figure out how to get Iqpuzzle running (I think its a qt5 issue)----I guess I should just give compiling a go for IqPuzzle; is there a DEVX for the 17.## versions I can download? I looked but couldn't find it.....probably, though, my old eyes looked right past it. I'll search again tonight.

More people ought to give this LxPup64 a go...... in my opinion, you've got something really nice here

don't forget to search in section "Games"

Hi Peebee,

Well, just found out the hard way that the "save2flash" isn't working at all in 17.06 after the setting it up. To note, save2flash works in 17.05.

I think I remember Sailor E. mentioning this problem a few days ago, but I cannot remember which thread it was in. Anyways, I can confirm the bug exists and there's a problem.

Frugal install. LxPup64 lets you do whatever during this first boot up, then properly sets and saves that first pristine session (and whatever changes you made). But any subsequent boot and/or reboot, there's no save2flash function. Icon pops up, as usual on desktop, but if you click the desktop icon, only up pops the gtk dialog and that's it....there's no saving that occurs. It doesn't matter what pupsave mode you choose in Puppy Event Manager, save2flash doesn't work.

I'll see if I can find where Sailor E wrote about this in the past couple of days.

Not sure what to do to fix this. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Peebee,

Just following up on the bug: Sailor E had reported it, and said it was just fixed (commit 5296) in woof-CE. See Sailor's comment here:
