I tried a Slacko64 build with the latest woof-CE when at my parents for Easter on my dad's Core2Duo laptop. Here's the iso:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/y13kxdldb9i9d/x86_64

It seems to be working ok so far on it, I didn't need anything from puppy-common this time either. These comments also apply to it:
- The adrv has Firefox 52.7.3esr and Abi/Gnumeric
- 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

slacko hangs on i5 machine

I installed it on my dualcore and it works very nice.

I also installed it on my i5 laptop.
Startup seems to hang there between loading modules and starting X. It comes through eventually. I send you xerrs.log and my system specs in case you want to look into this.
When I try to startup with the savefile, it really hangs.
I have not yet tried to switch kernels. I may go for the 4.9.30 from 01micko and see wat happens.

@Sailor - thanks for this puplet. I used your 4.4.126 kernel in LXpupsc64 18.03 - faster than 4.15 kernels, but still covered for spectre/meltdown.

@Foxpup - last time I had that happen, missing firmware was the culprit.

I switched kernel and zdrv and now it runs very nicely.
You could be right ozsouth, but I don't know which. It may be a kernel specific driver that needs compiling. Is there an easy way to know? Can I see it in some log file?

On my dualcore this slacko with the original kernel has now effectively replaced a heavily remastered Tahr 6.0.2 as my main workhorse.

Is slacko not ready for a release? Wouldn't it be nice if slacko, dpup (radky) and upupBB (peebee) released all together !?

Slacko 700 RC3 K4.4.70-PAE

#412 Post by norgo »

Here the 32 bit version of Slacko 700 RC3 snapshot for testing.
Used kernel version K 4.4.70-PAE

BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;6d5d2531;2018-04-05 13:45:04 +0300'

Looks really good, didn't find seriously errors up to now except these blemishes

- pkeys=de will be ignored ( I'm using ISOBOOTER )
- empty tables of contents of developer tools remain in packages/builtin_files ( 0 byte files )
- menu entry xcalc present but application not installed

Do you answer 'y' or 'n' to the isobooter "splash screen" question?
Answering 'n' means it boots using the files in the iso rather than booting the iso itself.
Then adding boot parameters in "menu.lst" should work.

Hello gyro,
yes I'm using isobooter with "splash screen" and "menu.lst" contains already the boot parameter pkeys=de

here a snippet of my "menu.lst"

Norgo, thank you for this new build. Now I have a recent slacko32 as well to test with.
I have installed yours on my dualcore PC and found it works well
I took kernel sources and devx from micko's build and compiled the 304.137 nvidia driver for my graphic card.

I use pkeys=be-latin1. It is all right on the prompt (nox) but it has to be setup again for X (be), as in most Puppies. No problem.
I install frugally by copying the Puppy files into a directory and adding lines to the menu.lst for grub4dos.

Confirmation on the other blemishes.

Hello foxpup,

Seems to be a feature now ;-)

fixes for keymap-set and xkbconfigmanager

improve symbiotic relationship and throw xorgwizard-automatic into the mix

hopefully this fixes the pkeys= issue reported by @peabee

@peebee

hey peebee you already knew this.
I only read your post at github today, thank you for report.

I patched slacko-700-RC3_k4.4.70-PAE_2018-04-05.iso by the changes of commit d553a8c for test.

ifactive

#419 Post by Dry Falls »

Frisbee in /usr/sbin/ifactive should be changed to all lower case in script ('Frisbee' -> 'frisbee') to work with the frisbee installed in Slacko64. Also, sections on frisbee-tray might be removed, as it's not present or used in this version. If this is part of woofCE, someone should commit the change. If it was just lifted out of lighthouse for this build, just change the script.

Here's the fixed one (still has ref to frisbee-tray):

64 bit kernel

#420 Post by ozsouth »

I've made a 64bit Slacko compatible 4.9.94 kernel via Puppy kernel-kit, with the cutdown firmware option. Is Spectre/Meltdown mitigated. Have swapped it into Slacko64 6.9.9.9 and LxpupSc64 18.03. Works ok in both.

I 've replaced with this and now Puppy knows about the pkeys from the kernel options. So that works well.

I am also running the slacko64 from Sailor on this dualcore PC. I've lost the keyboard and the mouse twice now. First time I reinstalled, but I did not keep the pupsave. Second time I have kept the pupsave; I can drag out some logs if someone wants them to look at it.
Beginning of april I've also reported trouble with be-latin1 on this PC and UpupBionic. In the end I reinstalled and further ignored it.
Maybe all this has to do with this commit d553a8c?

I've made a 64bit Slacko compatible 4.14.35 kernel via Puppy kernel-kit, with the no firmware option. Will need an fdrv for firmware. Is Spectre/Meltdown mitigated. Have swapped it into Slacko64 6.9.9.9 and LxpupSc64 18.03. Works ok in both.

G'day Gnimmelf, and et al.,

I will have a go at my interpretation based on my experience with each. They are versions of Slacko64 6.9.9.9 using different kernels and with different browsers and features.

PM = Pale Moon, FF = Firefox, LO = Libre Office

The kernel versions are significant if you intend to compile additional software specific for that distribution beyond what was already provided.

Typically if you intend to simply use it as is then you are good to go. Otherwise if you intend further customization then you will need to know the specific kernel used to assemble the appropriate elements to compile software for additional utility.

Now as to the highly anticipated release of Slacko 7, well that is better answered by those diligently contributing their efforts to produce Slack 7.

Cheers to ya! Hope this helps a bit.
