Hi Mick and other contributors,
I see that the 3.10.5 kernel in the PAE version has a number of new drivers, including the rtl818ee wifi driver, which is needed by forum member dbabits' Toshiba Satellite laptop -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 934#736934
but I needed to help him out by contributing the missing firmware.
This is a common problem - new/updated drivers often require additional firmware, so maybe in the future I can help you access the very latest collection of official firmware ...
but in the meantime, the same forum member also requires the new alx driver for his Atheros ethernet device.
But I see this in the Slacko-5.6-PAE kernel config -

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_ALX is not set
Can I ask that this new driver be enabled for the next release of 5.6-PAE?
And if the next release is some time away, could someone please just package this new module as a dotpet in the meantime?
Thanks.

Slacko 5.6.1

Do you want it all tested for bugs or just want to know if it generally works OK?

Well I am looking at the Internet and posting from it. I can see a working desktop. Icons seem to work OK.

Got this strange message.

Slacko 5.6.1 testing

#402 Post by peebee »

Hi Mick

Downloaded the 5.6.1 iso, devx and kernel sources - boy it took a lonnnnnngggg time from your website (at 8am UK time) .... so much so I had to leave my pc running while I went to work today. :cry:

Did all my usual tests - compiled wl.ko and installed the Broadcom STA driver for my wifi - installed the LxPup-by-SFS and Compiz sfs's and switched to Compiz - loaded Chromium-30 sfs

All working great and as expected - no problems at all to report - posting from Compiz / Chromium as we "speak"

Cheers

5.6.1 report

#403 Post by SFR »

I mentioned (elsewhere) about drive icons not getting refreshed after partitioning (in 5.6). Much better in 5.6.1 - after creating a new partition, icons are being refreshed, but after deletion it's necessary to remount another partition, in order to trigger this. Can live with that. 8)
___________

Old, but recently discovered by me, annoying bug in /bin/df, line 8 (missing quotes around $@):

Code: Select all

RETSTUFF="`$DF "$@"`"
___________

Perhaps it's too early for that, but there are few, less obvious apps, that are worth upgrading IMHO:
- unrar - supports the latest rar5 format
- ms-sys - supports Vista/7 MBR
- exploderpm (part of src2pkg) - supports newer RPMs
___________

Maybe too early as well, but I keep forgetting about this since 5.4, so let it be written for future reference. :wink:
Minor enhancement. Since Xarchive supports 7z archives (7za wrapper) and Slacko has 7z, so what about:

/usr/local/bin/pupzip, line 147/8:

Code: Select all

#120512 added .rar #131123 added .7z (and .bz2!)
NORMFILE="`echo -n "$PARAMIN" | grep -iv "\\.tar" | grep -iv "\\.bz" | grep -iv "\\.gz" | grep -iv "\\.rpm" | grep -iv "\\.deb" | grep -iv "\\.zip" | grep -iv "\\.tgz" | grep -iv "\\.txz" | grep -iv "\\.tbz" | grep -iv "\\.rar" | grep -iv "\\.bz2" | grep -iv "\\.7z"`"
(or maybe shorter & safer)

Code: Select all

NORMFILE="`echo -n "$PARAMIN" | grep -ivE ".tar$|.bz$|.gz$|.rpm$|.deb$|.zip$|.tgz$|.txz$|.tbz$|.rar$|.bz2$|.7z$"`"
+ let 7za wrapper to see 7z:

Code: Select all

ln -s /usr/local/bin/7z /usr/local/bin/7za
+ MIME-type for ROX:

Code: Select all

echo -e '#! /bin/sh\n\nexec pupzip "$1"' > /root/Choices/MIME-types/application_x-7z-compressed
chmod +x /root/Choices/MIME-types/application_x-7z-compressed
+ optionally:

Code: Select all

echo 'application/x-7z-compressed=pupzip.desktop' >> /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
___________

Anyway, 5.6.1 looks really solid (playing in VBox for now). :)

Thanks &
Greetings!

Slacko 5.6.1

Using Firefox browser installed in Slacko 5.6.1.
Tried to download an image file and got this screen for selecting location to save to. Notice blank screen. Seemed to go blank at random times, trying to navigate to a location in file system.

Not a bug bigpup, you are running firefox as Spot. It will only be able to open /root/spot (spots home) and any sub-directory. If you don't wan to be spot, quit firefox, open menu>system>Login and Security Manager, uncheck firefox and click Ok.

01micko,

I was wondering if Spot was the problem, but was not sure.
Now you know why I never use spot.

Test results:
Spot operation mode seems to be working in Firefox :D :lol: 8)

Computer just gave me the coffee warning. :!: :lol:

Slacko 5.6.1

PPM (initial default setup)

Repositories showing in PPM are 5. OK.
Max number able to list at one time 5.
In configure PPM
6 repositories are selected initially, by default.
The Puppy-noarch offical repository is not showing.
This one should be seen by a new user for no other reason then this.
