slacko-6.0 beta 2

[ally]

still on the frugal install without savefile

one usb hdd not does not show on desktop, mounted in pmount but drive icon still not displayed on desktop

another usb hdd icons loaded ok, have cleared and reformatted in gparted but drive icons did not refresh (originally 2 partitions and now only one)

uploading and transferring files so unable to refresh or reboot to see if issues resolve, more to follow



@sfr - thanks!

Ally, you can try manual refreshing, without the need to restart X:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/pup_event/frontend_change cha:sda

Greetings!

I found that the Multiple-Sound-Card-Wizard opens with no devices selected,
if nothing is selected and the "OK" is pressed the sound card is lost, rebooting doesn't detect the card,
line 24 of the Multiple-Sound-Card-Wizard, if changed to <list selected-row=\"0\"> will have the first device selected on opening.

This thread from Shinobar might be useful.

Nice work as usual Micko.

Running well on:

Booted from manually installed frugal. Noticed the problem with /usr/sbin/mksquashfs symlink to mksquashfs3 instead of 4. Also /usr/sbin/unsquashfs points to unsquashfs3.

I opened initrd.gz and added the adrv and ydrv lines to DISTROSPECS:

Code: Select all

DISTRO_PUPPYSFS='puppy_slacko_5.9.1.sfs'
DISTRO_ZDRVSFS='zdrv_slacko_5.9.1.sfs'
DISTRO_ADRVSFS='adrv_slacko_5.9.1.sfs'
DISTRO_YDRVSFS='ydrv_slacko_5.9.1.sfs'

adrv_slacko_5.9.1.sfs loads and runs fine but ydrv_slacko_5.9.1.sfs loads and causes:

Code: Select all

cannot create '/lib/modules/3.4.93/kernel/drivers/scsi'; No such file or directory

This is followed by a 60 sec pause and then a full kernel panic. I presume this means zdrv_slacko_5.9.1.sfs is not loading. Tried adding /mnt/tmpfs4 to the initrd.gz but made no difference. Something in the init file perhaps?

Anyway, very impressed. Made my day when I saw that a new uptodate Slacko was happening. Thanks much, J

Manual frugal installs on both my HP550 laptop and newly acquired Asus eee (both with Intel graphics) work well.

LxPup-by-SFS works, but there is a difference in behaviour with pcmanfm which I think is worth reporting - sda1 no longer accesses the disk/partition but instead seems to lead to the save file. Screenies from 5.9.1 and 5.7 attached for comparison.

Also note that /etc/DISTROSPECS still shows the 5.7 kernel

Bingo! I'll tidy that up and that will hopefully fix James C's bug too.

That is because glib2 has not been patched with Jemimah's media/mount + help/browser patch.

[shinobar]

Applied the patch against the rc.sysinit and rebooted PC.
But the result is the same

 #my intention is for puppy to work with either of these...

Installed epson_inkjet_printer_escpr-1.4.0.pet (my printer is Epson EP-704A)
Ran CUPS. Under Add Printer, select AppSocket/JetDirect.
On the next screen, delete "socket" and type "parallel:/dev/usb/lp0"
Tried printing test page from the web interface. Nothing the printer do.
The Web interface says "Unable to open device file "/dev/usb/lp0": Permission denied"

The result is exactly the same on the Tahr Pup 5.9.1.5, 666philb's new build.

I suspect the permission of the /dev/usb/lp0 does not matter when i am root.
Because the permissio on the 571JP is 660 and no problem with root.

Testing on the slightly poorly Pentium D (running on mainboard's Intel graphics due to cooling problem on usual graphics card).

Successfully created a save in sub-directory on NTFS-formatted hard drive. Working after reboot. Chose not to copy SFS files from CD, will do this manually later.

Latest stable Sylpheed is v3.4.2 - http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/

More in-depth testing later.

[Jades]

Latest stable HomeBank is v4.5.6 - http://homebank.free.fr

Any chance of a pet for the latest Gnumeric (1.12.17)? I know that you prefer the 1.10.xx branch as it's smaller but it'd be nice to have the option to get the latest version. The Salix repo on PPM has 1.12.9 but there isn't the option to examine dependencies (it does list them though).

G'dayo 01micko,

Posting from a manual installation of a 5.9.1 Frugal - downloaded iso was mounted using an older Full Slacko and four files copied to a new 'slacko591' subdirectory on my Frugals partition (sda7). This partition has about 30+ Frugal Pups for playing with. Needs its own grub menu.lst so I have at least a vague idea of what's there.

Did not try the 'folder' "save-file" option - did the usual of a save-file to the subfolder; if I tried the 'folder' option, I assume such a 5.9.1 would be like a Full Pup and really want its own dedicated partition?

Tried to run pwidgets (.pet used) but found conky was missing libiw.so.29. OK once I copied this from another Pup so pwidgets is now running and I don't have to look out the window to check the weather.

Of my usual sfs files I like to run via the boot manager, LibreOffice-4.2, a collection of file managers, Gimp, and games sfss are good. My wine+programs sfs hasn't loaded (e.g. can't find a .wine folder in /root but the boot manager says the wine_programs.sfs is loaded?) so I'll check that next.

Digital TV is good via mplayer (sound and picture).
CUPS remembered my colour laser printer details too.

Nice work, all in all.

This is followed by a 60 sec pause and then a full kernel panic. I presume this means zdrv_slacko_5.9.1.sfs is not loading. Tried adding /mnt/tmpfs4 to the initrd.gz but made no difference. Something in the init file perhaps?

This should fix this (notice that you also need the /mnt/tmpfs4 folder in initrd)
Pls check if possible

Is /dev/usb/ populated when chmod is run
Does /dev/usb/lpX has the right permissions when it is actually called by CUPS?

Believe the save folder should be able to be placed the same as the traditional savefile. I have my save folder on a partition with about 15 other Puppy frugals and things appear to be working normally.

I'm actually beginning to prefer the save folder over the traditional savefile....more flexible.

Mav, don't forget I'm doing a switheroo of init script in 3builddistro-Z to maintain compat with a standard build puppy.

See woof-code/huge_extras/init.

[James C]

Just for informational purpose, the latest Tahr release (released today) also has the minor kernel panic/frugal install bug.

OK... I'll push the same change there.
But why not patch or sed the changes instead?

Well done mavrothal. Changes made in init and ydrv now loads and functions, excellent.

That's because anything newer than 1.10.xx uses GTK3.

3.4.2! I thought I just compiled 3.4.1 a few days ago ...

I suspect the permission of the /dev/usb/lp0 does not matter when i am root.
Because the permissio on the 571JP is 660 and no problem with root.

You're right, it shouldn't matter. Check permissions on /usr/lib/cups/backend (the directory) and /usr/lib/cups/backnd/* (the files)?
