Thank you very much! It was fixed!

I don't know what I had done in May 4, 2013.
As for the Tokyo file. I saved it but I cannot read that and this forum denies uploading of it.

Anyway, I'm happy now. Thank you, again!
I had the same problem with Slacko 5.5 and the /America/New_York time zone. The fix was the same as for duck, replacing the /America/New_York file on the HD with the original from the CD. (The files from the Slacko 5.5 CD are dated 17 Sep 2012.)

As to the origin of my problem, I ran "Updates Manager -latest from Slackware" on the Setup menu and updated tzdata.

Since the binary tzdata files from Slackware appear to be incompatible with Slacko 5.5, perhaps a Puppy specific tzdata set is needed. This matter I leave to the Puppy experts, with appreciation and thanks for all their contributions.

I have run into a problem. I am using an Acer V5 intel core i3 with a clickpad. I get random system hangs when clicking the trackpad. Only way out is a hard reset. I have lost data and custom settings during these crashes. No particular program is responsible. Its totally random. Must be clickpad related. Dont really have any idea how I might proceed in curing it. Here is my .flsynclient, but tinkering with the settings seems to make no difference.

Hi DaveS, I couldn't even get synaptics touchpad ever working in any recent distribution until I figured out that I had to throw the file Flsynclient in root before remastering.
Never had any lockups with the touchpad, might be worth comparing the code, this is on a netbook tho'. Don't know if you get hardware conflicts in the newer laptops any more? Irq Sharing conflicts etc. Hope not :wink:

DaveS,

I reckon it is probably a kernel driver issue. PHAT or Thin Slacko have later kernels based on 3.8x, or there is one of Pemasu's upups which are pretty stable.

I've been a bit too busy lately but hopefully I'll get some time in a few days.

I'm afraid that doesn't tell us much at all. Try and be more descriptive, check your download checksum, if the cd (if booting from one) works in another machine, your machine specs in case some body has the same issue and fixed it.. etc.

Mick, I have been so pleased with Slacko in general that I have installed it to the HD (frugal). Since then I have had no further problems, so it MAY be something to do with the USB install interaction. I will post back here if I get another lock-up.
Something is a little odd with acpi. If I boot then immediately push the power off hardware button, nothing happens. If I then use the PC for a short while, open a browser, that kind of thing, it then works normally :-)
Suspend works brilliantly, but not from a USB boot. Maybe this is intended? Could that be over ridden in the script?

Hi DaveS,

Ok, cool you have the thing working good from hdd, but the USB problem could be any number of factors, given that there are so many possibilities; to name a few, filesystem types (both host and save), type and speed of stick (USB2, USB3 - which is still 'newish' in Linux) and others.

Suspend is intentionally turned off in the acpi script for USB, this is a protection mechanism for USB installs where everything is in RAM, including save file [* not strictly true, everything waiting to be saved to the save file pending the 'snapmerge' is actually more accurate] and the chances of RAM crash are much higher. I suppose a RAM check would be ok and if free RAM is over a certain threshold then suspend could be enabled. Also, the acpid binary is rather old and needs updating for new features. I'll revisit this when I bump things for Slacko based on Slackware-14.1 binaries.

Cheers

Interesting stuff isnt it? The suspend issue is not quite so critical running a USB Pupmode 12. I had switched to P12 as it gave less data loss when the system crashed. Thankfully not an issue still with HD install :-)
I have been using Sandisk USB 2. They always seem the fastest and most compatible.
I will revisit it later and see if I can improve stability with different ClicPad options.

Hacked script to allow suspend when running from USB. /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh

Code: Select all

# do not suspend if usb media mounted
#USBS=$(probedisk2|grep '|usb' | cut -d'|' -f1 )
#for USB in $USBS
#do
#	mount | grep -q "^$USB" && exit
#done
seems OK so far.

Hi all just checking out whats new with puppy.

on the wikka page for Slacko 5.5 click here it mentions there are other versions of slacko available
  1. PhatSlacko: click here This version has extra apps than the normal slacko.
  2. ThinSlacko: click here this version has less apps than the standard slacko.
I was just wondering if these are offical versions of slacko 5.5 or if they are forks from the official version.

Also wondering if there an sfs or pet of xfce that will run on slacko or any of the other official versions. I already have LighthousePUP and SalukiPUP with xfce. I feel it would be good if the regular puppy versions had xfce as an option. This would expand them. I have started a post about this click here to view and follow it.

Hi jon4t2,

Thanks for the clue. I looked into this today.

It turns out that the data files in the package are OK. But the installation script has bad manners. After the data files are installed, the script corrupts one of them. Just one. But of the hundreds of files in the package it is, of course, just the one you need. :)

What?! Just the America/New_York file? Gee, of all the darn luck!

Well, no, it's not always that specific file. It corrupts whatever file anyone needs, no matter what time zone they live in. For you it corrupted the America/New_York file; for duck@japan it corrupted the Asia/Tokyo file. It corrupts whichever file /etc/localtime links to.


You already know how to fix it after it is broken. Now I'll try to explain how to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Before running Updates Manager, execute the following two commands:

Code: Select all

mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-copied-from
cp -p /etc/localtime-copied-from /etc/localtime
Then run the Updates Manager and install glibc-zoneinfo.

After running Updates Manager, execute the following command:

Code: Select all

mv /etc/localtime-copied-from /etc/localtime
That should do it.


Now, if you want any of the boring details of what the problem was, read on.

Puppy, like most distros I am familiar with, indicates the local time zone with a symbolic link at /etc/localtime which points to the appropriate data file in a subdirectory of /usr/share/zoneinfo. Alternatively, the same result can be achieved by actually copying the appropriate data file to /etc/localtime. I don't know which distros use the latter method, but judging by the installation script for this package, I am guessing that Slackware is one distro that does.

Not only is /etc/localtime a copy of the data file for the desired time zone, but there is also a symlink named /etc/localtime-copied-from, which points to the data file that was copied. The purpose of that file is to allow the installation script for the zoneinfo package to copy the new version of the desired file to /etc/localtime again, after the new data files are installed.

That may work fine on a Slackware installation, but Puppy doesn't usually have a file at /etc/localtime, just a symlink. Nor does Puppy set the /etc/localtime-copied-from symlink.

In Slacko, that symlink normally just stays at its original value, which points to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Factory (as in "factory settings"). That file contains no actual zone information, but sets the string normally used for the zone name (such as "GMT" or "BST") with the message "Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page", which is sometimes (depending upon your language settings) displayed when the date command is executed, like so:

Code: Select all

# date
Sun Jun 23 02:25:52 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page 2013
# 
So, when the installation script copies the file pointed to by /etc/localtime-copied-from to /etc/localtime, you may start seeing that message, and Psync will no longer work right.

Worse, remember that /etc/localtime is a symlink on Puppy, so the Factory file doesn't get copied there; it actually follows the link to whatever file /etc/localtime points to, in your case /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York, overwriting that file. So now the file with the updated data you wanted has been destroyed.

Not good.

The sad thing is that it looks like the installation script was originally designed to handle the situation when it encountered a symlink instead of a file at /etc/localtime. If there is no /etc/localtime-copied-from symlink, the script will create it by renaming /etc/localtime to /etc/localtime-copied-from. Thus, it would be able to later copy the correct file to /etc/localtime instead of the Factory file.

So far, that's good. But the very next thing it does when it can't find a readable /etc/localtime (which it can't, since it just renamed it) is to blow away both /etc/localtime (which is already gone) and /etc/localtime-copied-from. Silly. Possibly the result of an untested patch to the script.

But even if the script did work properly, there could still be problems, since once /etc/localtime-copied-from was created, and the desired data file was copied to /etc/local time, if the user ran quickcountry, /etc/localtime-copied-from wouldn't be updated, and /etc/localtime would revert to a symlink.

That might be the best solution. Also it would be good if this package was filtered out of the list of packages found at the Slackware updates repository, so that users would not be temped to try and install it.


Anyway, thanks for reporting your experience with this, and especially what you did that caused it. It was the key to solving this mystery.

Howdy All,
Would someone please show me how to get L-O to 'activate' when clicking on a .ppt
record?
I just installed (frugal) Slacko-5.5. From PPM got the L-O SFS and JRE 1.7.
I've a file of .PPT in another partition.
Would it be better to get L-O as a pet?
Any-all help appreciated.
Thanx much, jw

The easiest way to associate a file type with a program is to right click on a file of the type you want and then choose "Set Run Action".

You will see a GUI with a box saying "Drop a suitable application here". Click on the show button and navigate to where your application is. In your case you want /opt/libreoffice4.0/program/simpress. Once you find it simply place your mouse cursor on it, hold down the left mouse button and drag it into the aforementioned box. Press the "Use Command" button and its a done deal.

Good Luck with this, J

Note: I use Softmaker Office, not LibreOffice, so there may be complications I have not forseen, :? but it should work.

Hi JRB, Thanx for reply.
'Show' goes to root/.config/roxfiler--- that has vnd.ms-office or something like that. I'm not in Puppy right now. Didnt see a way to insert-add
something for L-O.
When I open L-O and get a .pps into it, the sound doesnt work.
Same old Puppy story of old. Guess I'll go with Mint-15.
Thank you, later, jw

You're right.

Pardon me for falling into the old trap of assuming. :oops: I just assumed you knew how to use ROX.

OK here's an alternate to using the "Show" button. Go ahead and do the right click on a .ppt file, then:

1.)Open a terminal (click on the console button on the desktop).
2.)Type "rox /opt/libreoffice4.0/program". This should open up ROX where you want it.
3.)Drag simpress into the "Drop suitable application here" box.
4.)Click the Use Command button.

BTW - Just for your information, when you're in ROX if you keep clicking on the green up arrow in the upper left corner until nothing changes you will see "usr", "root", "etc", "opt" and so forth. Click on any of these and you will see the subfolders they contain. This is the basic method of navigating through your system with ROX.

Howdy John, thanx for the additional info.
I really know very little about ROX.

Hello. I have a series of problems. One is that I can't update Firefox from the menu help/update/check for updates it reads is updated but is version 19.

Also I have crashes. I do not know if it is FF related but I see it consumes resources.

Hey Rope
Also I have crashes. I do not know if it is FF related but I see it consumes resources.
Is it total crash or you're still able to, for instance, move the mouse cursor?
I just remembered that I used to have some rare, random freezes too while using FF, but IIRC it never happened again since I switched to Chromium.
During the crash ROX stopped responding and there were always 1-2 processes in "uninterruptable sleep", so only (usually hard) reboot was the only option in such case.
Try different browser and see what happend...

Greetings!

Yes total freeze sometimes. I had to restart x or reboot. I was using FF (not many tabs sometimes), attym, and a find for files or something, nothing demanding.

The problem is that I need some FF plugins, but maybe chromium is better. I could try in sfs form to not bloat the savefile.

Also, I don see why the personal space lowers.
