Thanks for all the hard graft on 533 Mick.

Been running flawlessly for more that 36 hours now.
Had a couple of minor problems setting up the Nvidia driver after removing Nouveu and rebooting.I got a 'unsupported' message until selecting 'Xorgwizard'and hitting a few buttons.No big deal!
Also,I didn't see the 'install Flashplayer' box (as in past Slacko's )when opening SeaMonkey Browser but no problems with 'GetFlash'.
Seems to boot faster than Lucid but possibly a tad slower when running on my hardware.

A job well done!!

Great job on this

Hi Brown Mouse,

Yep, sometimes when unloading nouveau and rebooting the monitor can't handle the resolution, that's why I mention it in the 'help' for the drivers gui in Slickpet. It instructs you (if that occurs) to CTRL-ALT-BKSPCE and run xorgwizard.

That's the best I could come up with for now, but perhaps there is a better way, I am always looking into better ways for everything :)

Cheers

ANOUNCE: Nvidia drivers in SFS is updated

UPDATE: nvidia-glx-sdl-295.49-slacko.sfs (Update: 2012-05-07)
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/pup5/
For Slacko 5.3.1/5.3.3 with kernel 2.6.37.6, 2.6.39.4, 3.1.10-slacko_4gA, or 3.1.10-slacko_paeA. . (contains glx, OpenGL and SDL)

Load, but do not run the nVidia Settings at this point of time, just exit the sfs_load, and run xorgwizard or reboot PC following the coming message.
Slacko 5.3.1 may need not reboot PC, go straight to the xorgwizard.
Slacko 5.3.3 may need to reboot PC with your session saved before the xorgwizard.

Hi shinobar

Do you advise to run 01micko's

Code: Select all

nouveau_unload
before installing your sfs on slacko?

Many thanks
peebee

No. The code of 01micko's nouveau_unload is integrated and automated. No matter which X-server is currently running when you load the sfs. (You will be offered to reboot PC to remove nouveau if your X is nouveau.)

feedback re scrollbar feature

Posted: Mon 07 May 2012, 13:50

Hi,

I accidentally found when using SeaMonkey (with Slacko/jwm) that right clicking on the top or bottom vertical scroll bar arrow (if lit and active) took me to the top or bottom of my screen. Also, for example, using Slacko's Package Manager, the horizontal scroll bar arrows can also be right clicked.

This right click method does not work for me using Opera, though it might well work with Firefox (which I no longer use).

For any jwm users who may be interested in the possible convenience of extra vertical (and horizontal) right clickable arrows see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 621#441621

My regards

New slacko does not recognize my via_rhine.

No internet at all.

(Edit) I was mistaken, after a reboot I'm back online.

After upgrading Puppy Package Manager, searching for packages, and then quitting, it would not start.

I tried to start it in terminal and got this error:

Have three versions of Eudora-xxx.pet in my personal repository, kindly supplied by Forum gurus. One is labelled 'wary', one 'lucid' rc1 and the other just v1.0.
Mick: please do you have a recommendation or should I wait for a new .pet?

ziggy_patch_ppm

My PPM quit working, but the patch did not repair it. However copying ui_Classic to ui_Ziggy did allow it to start (with the classic ui). Does the Ziggy ui need something that the Classic ui does not need that I might have cratered by installing and uninstalling some packages?

yeah.. some TLC by the look of things!

Can you restore the ziggy ui and run ppm from commandline. If no clues, do it the way broomdodger did, the info he supplied was valuable.

Cheers

.. got to the bottom of that one!

What you did was remove all repos, ui_Ziggy bugged out. I have made this more robust by hard coding in the default repo. Why would you want to remove it anyway? :lol: Ok, yes, it's still a bug!

Attached is a cumulative pet that includes the last patch.[REMOVED-see below] BE WARNED, if you don't remove all repos this patch should be unnecessary, so we will consider it experimental until further notice. The old patch on the previous page is sound.

playdayz.. you will likely need to replace /root/.packages/PKGS_MANAGEMENT with the one from /initrd/pup_ro2/root/.packages to recover.

Oops, Sorry about that. I didn't mean to. I got in the habit of unchecking the default repo when I was adding the ubu repos in Lucid to avoid any conflict and carried it over and then I guess I missed a check mark putting it back. :oops:

Add: yes that fixed it, and I did have to copy PKGS_MANAGEMENT.

Mesa-GLX drivers...

Posted: Wed 09 May 2012, 18:57
by christhi
Seems like the Mesa-GLX drivers still aren't working on my Intel N10 Integrated Graphics card.

I've been having the same issue with past Slackos, but all is working well under Lucid...

As an instance, when trying to run an OpenGL-based game, the prompt says that OpenGL could not load, or something.

Might not be the first you get that bug report, but if there's anything I should check please tell me so!

thanks

Appears to be a JWM problem. Fixed by installing
icewm-1.3.7-i686-s.pet
from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... es-slacko/
and changing /etc/windowmanager entry to icewm.
