Slacko 5.4 - FINAL 2 Dec 2012
Richard
It's been awhile since I looked at the code, but I am aware that there is no service script. To be honest I didn't thoroughly go through the code at all, I mainly just got rid of the pupcowsay or whatever it was and used gtkdialog-splash. As far as I can remember everything was dealt with in the Startup folder.
I will review my package though, it's quite old. Also, note the package I use in Slacko is "frisbee_special".
Thanks

Beta 4 is out!
As promised there are delta for 4g and PAE from beta 3 which was declared a non-starter. No delta for firefox as there was no beta 3 uploaded for that.
Wireless in all 3 is working on a variety of cards that I have.

Updated 5.3.6.5 to 5.3.7.1 (FF non PAE). No (wired) network, no interface or module to be found! No sound, no kernel modules other than the ones loaded in the init. Reboot, same thing.
Run "depmod -a" and reboot, Bingo!
You might need to look at your kernel/rc.sysinit

I'm kinda glad the stupid iwconfig bug was there because it gave me the chance to get opera-12.10 out there. It only takes 30 minutes to reproduce the 3 versions. The worst part is the upload on my crappy bandwidth! (330kbps v .. 100kbps ^)
Hmmm... I did 2 updates on flash drives, 1 ext3 and 1 FAT and both only needed a reboot, but yeah should work without one, I'll investigate. Again probably a busy-box depmod call which doesn't work, maybe need to update busybox.mavrothal wrote:Updated 5.3.6.5 to 5.3.7.1 (FF non PAE). No (wired) network, no interface or module to be found!

Sorry mate, didn't build PAE-firefox, only 3 versions. The rationale is that if you have PAE capable then you have decent gear (I don't use it personally, but it's there for the ones with the big RAM) and can afford the extra space to download Firefox. You can get the latest in the repo if you look in the Slackware-patches repo in PPM. That may or may not change for final.spandey wrote:Sorry if I am asking the obivious, but which iso for FF with PAE ?

For the first time in a long time and many puppies, XO kernel compilation failed in 5.3.7.1. (same source compiled fine in Precise)
Didn't look at the error carefully but if you do not have beta5 out by tomorrow ( ), I'll let you know
Latter The error I get is
Code: Select all
arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c:1396:17: error: conflicting types for ‘syscall_trace_leave’
Hopefully tonight I'll check if this patch fixes it
Latter-latter Yeap. Patching the kernel source with the above patch solves the issue. So if you want to compile a lupu or any 2.6.x kernel in slacko_14, keep that in mind.

Slacko - beta4 [5.4]
I decided to try the pae version of beta 4 and did a full install on
my emachines D620 laptop.
Operating System
Version
Kernel Linux 3.4.17-PAE (i686)
Compiled #1 SMP Fri Nov 2 19:12:33 EST 2012
C Library GNU C Library version 2.15 (stable)
Default C Compiler GNU C Compiler version 4.7.1 (GCC)
Distribution Unknown distribution
The wireless network is working again with this version.
Sound didn't work at first, there was a red x beside the retrovol icon
in the tray.I configured retrovol and unmuted everything but still no
sound, I ran alsamixer and pressed F6 to choose the sound card and
rebooted, sound is working now.
Multimedia
Audio Adapter HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
The graphics card support (ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200
Series]) is great, Nexuiz and Google Earth work well.
There is the problem with the puppy menu not showing any kdegames
entries but the games work fine when started with gexec.
That's it so far, thanks.

Bit of a problem in 5.3.7 non-pae, mick. All my wifi dongles have stopped working. Sometimes the base station is initially detected correctly in SNS but no connection can be established. Never ever had any luck with Frisbee, not even with Saluki, and it was true to form in this test. Dougal's utility didn't work either. What did you do?!

What was supposed to happen if the /usr/share/applications/kde4 dir was detected then we fall back to the old style menus. Seem foolproof. But my code wasn't .
Oh well , I leaned and now it will work. I'll add a gzipped fixmenus attachment, decompress it, make sure it is executable then place it in /usr/sbin overwriting the original.
Then run fixmenus, and then jwm -reload. You'll get your menus

Hmm.. are you sure you haven't got beta3? You can download a small delta, then just click the delta (as long as the beta3 iso is in range) and it will build beta4 in moments. I released beta4 less than 12hrs after beta3 because of the wireless issue.Sage wrote:Bit of a problem in 5.3.7 non-pae, mick. All my wifi dongles have stopped working.

You can check the version number by clicking on the green michelin man icon on the bottom right in the tray (task bar) and it will show a message at the top of the screen with version and kernel. Beta3 is 5.3.7.0 and beta4 is 5.3.7.1.
At least I hope that's what went wrong!

Have you built any more games? Maybe I missed some?

Doh! Put it down to old age. I read everything but with so many versions of Slacko, Precise, Carolina, Mint, so much kit running simultaneously, fixing the neighbour's flat tyre, another neighbour's central heating...are you sure you haven't got beta3
Will check it later and report back (probably your tomorrow morning). And thanks!
[But see Bk's latest blog, just appeared. I have found the same - Frisbee screws everything!]

Yeah, I've seen that too when upgrading some of my saves to the recent Slacko test builds, most recently an old 5.3.6.0 save to 5.3.7.1 - thought to myself "hmm, the output of lsmod is rather short today!"mavrothal wrote:Updated 5.3.6.5 to 5.3.7.1 (FF non PAE).

I've found that I can't create save files on my NTFS-formatted hard drive again, using 5.3.7.1 from a pfix=ram boot from CD. Symptoms are the same as I reported with 5.3.6.0. This is a major problem. I can create saves on FAT32 partitions, however.
