LxPupSc: Woof-CE, Slackware-Current, LXDE build 13-Jun-2020
LxPupSc-15.11.03-pae
LxPupSc-15.11.03-pae.iso is now available
Based on latest woof-ce build of slackocurrent with kernel huge-4.2.5-EmSee 32bit pae.
As many apps as will successfully compile with pet-builds have been compiled in slackocurrent (in order to reduce need for links to 14.1 era libs).
Includes the changes to slackware current from 14-nov
Known problems - CUPS printing does not work.

BUT,
CAN YOU ADD XFCE 4.12 DESKTOP?
REGARDS.
I won't be doing that - I like LXDE.....
Maybe when an official Slacko-Current is released then rg66 will produce an X-Slacko-Current....

Includes the changes to slackware current from 20-nov including the eudev and icu4c changes
Known problems - CUPS printing still does not work (but see fix in post #2)
2 problems with PuppyPackageManager:
- it freezes at the end of an install with greyed out buttons
- the Slackware Current package list does contain dependencies so they are not automatically installed

As discussed elsewhere PPM fails in this puppy because it can not find any dependencies.
The way Slackware packages are build, provide dependencies only with the official version database (13.37, 14.1 etc). The other databases like "patches" and "current" do not have dependencies because presumably the packages are installed on the top of a running system where all the dependencies are installed.
PPM has code to give priority to patches over stable and this could be adapted for current too.
But you need slackware-14.1-official for the dependencies to be found and make sure you have this in COMPAT_REPOS too.
I think that the DISTRO_ SPECS should also say 14.1 but you have to check after the above changes are made.

VLC in particular found the Qt dependency correctly.

Yes tested Slacko 630 found Gnome-mplayer failed to play mp4 which will play thanks for ammeded mplayer.peebee wrote:@6502coder Many thanks for the test and report. Also @gcmartin6502coder wrote:Could not get Mplayer to work on either MP3 or MP4 files:Code: Select all
# ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep found libcdio_cdda.so.1 => not found libcdio_paranoia.so.1 => not found libopenal.so.1 => not found
Looks like mplayer is the next candidate for a rebuild under slackocurrent.....see next post

New frugal install to HDD on Dell D630 laptop. All went well connected to wifi with b43 card. So far working very nicely. Thank you.
With the discussion regarding PPM, I successfully installed packages using PPM, however after each install PPM is greyed out and requires restarting PPM to do further installations. To test this I also logged into LXPupSc-15.11.3 and the behaviour was the same. I also checked using slacko 6.3 and PPM functioned correctly, I could do additional installs without needing to restart PPM.

Frugal install of 15.11.05 to the Fujitsu S6520 core 2 duo all Intel laptop. Update of 15.11.03 savefile. Correction applied, then HPLIP 3.14.10 installed. HP4500 installed correctly using CUPS, exact same routine as always. Seems fine, shows up in print options... But, will not print test page or simple file from Geany. Screenshot attached. Haven't looked beyond that.peebee wrote:Please apply the correction in post #1 and test CUPS - thankspeebee wrote:Known problems - CUPS printing still does not work.
Everything else seems fine, wireless connection, sound, video all good, glxgears at 1068 FPS with browser running.

Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

Trying LxPupSc 15.11.05 on Dell Latitude D410 on HDD folder with grub4dos.
Boots successfully with 4.3.0 kernel. Menu items (like Utility, Filesystem, etc.) not instant like JWM and take a second to show up after I move cursor over them. Default mouse speed seems slower so takes longer to move my mouse across the screen too (edit: ok, if I push hard it moves fast). My wireless works and shows up as ipw2200. Firewall_ng lets me run it through QuickSetup before being connected (which fails) and show up as two taskbar icons (old bugs, easy to outsmart). After 2nd reboot, my screen just froze once X loaded (with wallpaper and solid gray bar on bottom), I thought it corrupted my 64MB savefile.2fs but after hard shutdown with the power button and rebooting, the same savefile worked next reboot. Nice smooth look for the fonts and scrollbars. Default browser (Firefox 42) and Hexchat working. All videos I try on YouTube in Firefox say "An Error has Occurred. Please try again later" instead of using HTML5, and downloading files (mp3, mp4, images) all say "Failed". I think I selected run as Spot on QuickSetup, so I turned it off and loading video and saving started working again. Laptop fan seems to be running more than usual (about 50% of the time) using LXDE/FF42. Nice effort based on slackocurrent!

Well, fan is being quieter today, only surfing murga-linux in LxPupSc. My house feels colder today, maybe that is helpingunicorn316386 wrote:Laptop fan seems to be running more than usual (about 50% of the time) using LXDE/FF42.
edit: Nevermind. Opening 5 Facebook windows killed it - lol. I forgot to turn off Spot again though.
Got around to testing 15.11.03 on my Bay-Trail machine (Asrock Q1900M mobo with intel j1900 quad core processor, RTL8168g chipset ethernet, intel 4000 HD graphics, 4Gb RAM, 80Gb SATA HDD).
Frugal Grub4Dos install booted cleanly. Video, sound, mouse, USB all perfect. The RTL8168 would not connect until the patch in the attached pet was applied. Once that was done and the correction in post#2 applied and hplip 3.14.10 installed, the HP4500 set up but would not print (see my post above).

with patch:
I've tried fiddling around with firewall and firewall settings, also swapped in the slackocurrent kernel but still no printing. Jobs aren't spooled... Got the same behavior in slacko 6.3.0, printer set up fine, just won't print.
Edit: The firmware files are in /lib/firmware of slacko 6.3.0 so also could be taken from there.

Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
Another quirk on both of my machines:
In Puppy Setup, clicking on the Graphics/Screen button locks up the machine (or at least X). Lxrandr runs ok on both and xserverwizard doesn't if run from the terminal. First an error message.. can't find /proc/pci then on the core 2 duo laptop, gives a wild flickering display and on the Bay-Trail seems ok but no button response.

@Marv: The CUPS v2.x in LxPupSc is missing some key components.
1. Go to page 1 and do the "lpadmin" fix.
2. Go here and get the packages cups-filters-1.0.76-i586-1.txz and qpdf-5.1.2-i486-1.txz.
3. Restart CUPS.
However, many print/scan driver packages built for older platforms will need some additional content. I am sending you something to test.

1. "lpadmin" fix was applied, hplip 3.14.10 was installed.
2. Previous printer install deleted.
3. Both xxx.txz files above installed.
4. CUPS restarted (reboot).
5. Done both without and with lxpup_print_patch-1.0.pet installed:
a.Reboot.
b.Install HP4500 printer.
c.Print test page.
In both cases under 5, the attached is the result.
