Ok, neither should the network roxapp. I just tried this:

# mount.cifs //192.168.1.6/homeshare /mnt/share
Password:
#

Got on... maybe try that.

Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet
No ip address specified and hostname not found
(This is remarkably similar to what happened in FATDOG6+ when it 1st came out. @JamesBond/@Kirk addressed it in the release of 610.)
The mount.cifs command always requires that the options list be at the end.

[Edit] I also tried "mount -t cifs". It worked correctly both with the options list at the front and the back of the command.

Thanks, both suggestions work.

Been using mount for about 10 years and had grown accustomed to having it around. I'll appeal to @JamesBond to find out what they did to get mount to work again. (@Rcrsn51 was that you that helped them with that?)

Thanks again to get me this far.

See my edit above. The mount command still works correctly for me.

[Edit] I also tried it with just "mount -o ....." and it worked too.

I would try a fresh install, WITHOUT using Frisbee.

Micko, concerning the optical media freeze bug, I found a post of
mine on Dec 2, 2012 that mentions the problem in connection with
testing Barry's Precise 5.4.2. I don't recall exactly when I first noticed
the problem.

I did as you requested, and posted on Barry's Precise 5.5 Beta thread
concering the bug.

Hi Art

So.. what you observe is that boot goes normally until it gets to ::

Code: Select all

Recognising media devices... optical
then it hangs, Right?

Yes, Micko, that's right. I can spot a freeze immediately since the
cursor is static (not blinking).

udev-175

#295 Post by mavrothal »

Hi Mick,
5.4.0.5 looks really nice. :D

I was disappointed that was not playing well in the XOs so I took another stub on udev-175 using the debian-patched source and moving udevd to /sbin, and it works!
So I can have a proper SlaXO_14 :lol:

In case anyone needs the full udev-175 with extras for Slacko 14, find them here (md5sum: 0424dbad23f07f9278397d43c3cd3a7f)
The tarball has the udev-175-i486 exe, dev and doc pets.

I gather that is committed to pox-git?

ipinfo

#297 Post by SFR »

Well, it's not a bug actually, just another "aesthetic" thing, but quite annoying:
I have noticed that ipinfo has been, inter alia, i18l'ed recently (which is good), but at the same time --geometry=600x400 & <vbox scrollable=\"true\">...</vbox> have been removed as well, what very often (when more than ~10 connections) causes enormously stretched window in vertical direction - even twice as my screen height...and the bottom half is simply empty.
Has anyone else noticed this too?

IDK what was the reason to set it up this way, but in case I'm not the only one who prefer the old way, I recreated things as they were originally designed by Vovchik (script attached).
_________

BTW: What happened to YAD? Haven't seen it since 5.4. :cry: :wink:

Greetings!

It's not a big deal actually, I was just curious what happened. 8)
But what is the version you have, btw?
I just checked in the repo (using 'find') and there's yad-0.17.1.1, but I have yad-0.19.1 installed (and I can't recall from where it is..? :shock: ).

I remember removing yad because no stock slacko app was using it, I guess I can compile the latest, only takes a minute or 2.

Slacko-5.4.0.5-4G

#302 Post by sszindian »

Slacko-5.4.0.5-4G

Haven't messed with Slacko much since before 5.4.0.3 (didn't like the opera browser - some video sites refused to run on it) Had a time downloading 5.4.0.5, three different days before I got a good download where Slacko would run, or I should say even load at all! But we finally got a good one.

Looks really good overall... in fact the only problem I encountered was installing hplip-3.13 from the PPM. It appeared to go through all the motions of a good download? I tried to set up my printer and it was a no go? Went back into PPM to delete the hplip and do a new reinstall... it wasn't there to delete? I finally had to use a few hplip-3.11 .pet packages I had to get the printer going. Where that hplip-3.13 download went (if in fact it downloaded at all) I can't find it?

See you fixed up puptelly... nice!

One really minor thing, playing a mp4 video in player, the default graphic-color settings are out of sync... have to manually adjust for each play which is sort of a pain.

WiFi took TWO (2) trys to setup with the SNS I notice this in quiet a few new puppy's? But... once setup it runs like a mule... reconnects after shutdowns and restarts, and no drops all day. (Linksys AE1000 usb - verizon router/modem combo - rt2800usb module)

Hi Indian,

No idea what your video issue could be, but different options to mplayer may help.

Billtoo, I have tempicon running on my son's i5. Slacko flies on this thing .. just wish I had the time (and the time on this machine}, to figure out the graphics switching... there is a nice radeon card hidden in there!

--

yad-19.1 is up, so too gparted 14.1 and some other goodies, You can update PPM to see.

EDIT.. looks like we shoot for slacko-5.5 now that BK has released wary/racy-5.5

hey micko

my sons acer 8935g has switchable graphics - is that what you mean from the comments above?

the switchable graphics (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670) caused overheating and had to be disabled in bios

if I'm on the right track and can help let me know but will need nooby instruction......!

ally.. I can't make the time to figure it out, but apparently pemasu has done it anyway. I think the proprietary driver is needed. I'll have to wait for a few months to get that one working. I run out of time completely this coming week. :(
