slacko 5.3.3, final

[gcmartin]

...should update the routing table in the router/dhcp server. ..

Yes, that always works!

I still think that FirstRUN should be the logical place as this will probably the place that many/most will use to change the hostname. That single screen is so very useful for localization....as you already know. Glad to see that Playdayz, you, and Jemimah, continue to work with Shinobar on his implementation for system localization starts.

Thanks in advance.

Slacko Libre Proof of Concept ...

Thanks Playdayz. I know the value of what you present for us.

Question for thought (no requirement to reply)
Could your work be collapsed into a PET? (say, a Libre PET that offers a JAVA dependency as it installs while accomplishing the desktop integration)

I know you (& others) have probably thought of this, before, and there are probably some hurdles that are involved.

Anyway, THANKS. I will Live media test your ISO ASAP, do a save-session after normal (for me) localization changes and report on whether this is propagating the JAVA issue, already reported to you.

Where should this report be sent....Is there a thread for this??? (PM me with your answer.)

Here to help

Grrrrrh!!!!
Dos was easier.

And Slacko wouldn't run the wireless on a mates Eee Pc.

Chris..

Nice report mate... but the wrong bloody slacko version!!!

The kernel changed a couple of weeks ago and you are running the experimental [and old, now] unionfs version.

Here is the latest

Can you give that one a try?

Ta mate.

Just compiled and uploaded firefox-12 for Slacko

Seems a lot better than 10 which was my last compile.

I compiled the amd driver in the last pae beta and it seemed to be
working, glxgears fps looked good but when I went to run the nexuiz
game it was unplayable.
I tried your new pet for the amd driver in the latest 5.3.2.8.5 beta
and again the glxgears fps looked good but nexuiz is unplayable.
In the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 on the same laptop with the
amd proprietary driver installed from the additional drivers, nexuiz
plays well.
Maybe others have had the same result with the new pet?

[01micko]

Billtoo,

Where can I get nexuiz to test?

Also, can you compile an older version of the driver? The latest may have bugs.

Has it worked ok in Slacko before?

[DaveS]

What I *think* might be happening is that the original Slacko iso is built using a newer more efficient compression, but when remastered mksquashfs uses the older compression.

I think that is exactly right.

[DaveS]

Mick, do you think compositing will ever be fixed in JWM?

The download link for nexuiz (888mb) is:

http://www.alientrap.org/games/nexuiz

That link provides another link to sourceforge for the download.

Nexuiz always works with Slacko with Nvidia proprietary driver, I'm pretty sure it has with ati in the past but not 100% sure of that.

I'll check to see if I have an older version of the ati driver around and try compiling that if I find
one, likely tomorrow though, need some sleep first

Christmas.. maybe.. seems to be the only time Joe works on it

I might compile an older version (maybe 500, it worked in spup-100 eh?) and put it in the repo, you'll lose the screen rotation and the screen will flicker when refreshing the menu but if eye candy is what you want then I guess those are two things you can fore go.

Billtoo. nexuiz sure is big, I might download it tonight, uploading stuff atm and it slows down the downloads.

There is another ATI/AMD driver, a new one, I compiled it by mistake and it didn't work, must only support newer stuff. I discarded it and haven't got a version number, maybe that's the one Ubuntu are using?

Cool

I compiled the ati-driver-installer-11-10-x86.x86_64.run driver and I
get the same result with nexuiz.
I gave Xonotic a try, it's a newer version of Nexuiz and I managed to
get a screenshot of what's happening.Hardware acceleration doesn't
seem to be working at all in Nexuiz and the screen seems to show two
layers, one being the dirctory that Nexuiz is launched from.
Xonotic does the same but hardware acceration seems to be working, I
managed to get a screenshot so you can see what' happening.

Are you actually still building with SCSI drivers ? Who is still using SCSI I wonder.... All I read is reports on laptops and quad cores ....
Remember we also dropped analog modems (still in Wary I think).

Volhout ...

[01micko]

Billtoo

Hmmmm... I have a Cedar Pro HD 5450 .. pretty low end and getting "old" in computer terms.. Nexuiz runs fine for me.. I bet you need the "newer" graphics driver I was talking about, I'll see what I can hunt up.

Yes, there is plenty of old and not so old scsi gear out there capable of running Slacko.

Analog modem drivers are huge, and mostly unsupported in newer kernels, scsi modules are small and supported.

EDIT: I just remembered.. Aitch uses Slacko in scsi gear

" Nice report mate... but the wrong bloody slacko version!!! "

Knew this would happen.

Learning Windows has turned him into a tyrant.

The dev has turned and become a critic.

They're onto me I fear.


""""""""""""

Sound works well.
Screen good.

But.........
Me interface won't load.
Ah! the dangers of getting old.

Your report your majesty....
just the Dell Studio Studio XPS.

The Asus EeePc is unavailable.
Located near where you lived once...ha!..ha!

Thanks mate.....Chris.

[01micko]

Chris,

Seems to be some weird doubling up of some firmwares

try this in the terminal

Code: Select all

rm /lib/modules/all-firmware/b43/lib/firmware/b43/*

Reboot

If that fails, I'm compiling the proprietary driver for broadcom known as "wl". I'll post a pet later.

Cheers
