Slacko 5.6 - feedback, bug reports
All programs could probably use a little tweaking.
Tweak away and post your version to the forum.
May turn into the new version for that program.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

New problem: When I try to run a script from Geany with F5 it doesn't work. Was no problem in Precise.
As a workaround I changed back to Geany 0.19.1, copied from Precise, with command /usr/bin/xterm -e bash -c in Preferences > Tools > Terminal. But what would be the correct command in Slacko's Geany 1.23.1?
I found a description of the same problem in How to make Geany execute command (F5 key) to work, but unfortunately no solution
Edit:
I guess I found the solution. Posted to above thread

No problem here:
I edited ßôö/ßôö.txt with geany just fine
Did you get a good download?
Code: Select all
# mkdir -p ßôö
# echo hello > ßôö/hello.txt
# echo hello > ßôö/ßôö.txt
# cat ßôö/ßôö.txt
hello
goodbye

In this posting http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 181#756181 Wilhelm has noted that AbiWord in Slacko 5.6 is a unstable version (2.9.4) The latest stable version being 2.8.6 http://www.abisource.com/
From Menu, Wizard Wizard (PupControl) I see that you can uninstall original programs (Install, Remove Builtin) such as abiword 2.9.4.
After doing that how do I install abiword 2.8.6 (stable) ?
TIA

To install just click on the package. Perhaps you'll have to change the desktop file in /usr/share/applications. I suggest to backup before trying. If you have a frugal install copy your savefile with another name and try.
Edit: I have tried it. It works but you need a symlink, too:
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.4.0.1 /usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.3
Discovered the abiword instability for myself today.
Wrote a page or so, pasted in some images and moved them around. Went to save and it completely locked up the system. Directory name was filled with square (extended) characters. 100% CPU, had to reboot.
Another bug that I'm occasionally experiencing is with the right (up/down) scroll bar. Sometimes the moveable 'block' stays where it is whilst the page scrolls, such that when you come to scroll again the block is in the wrong place. That might be a firefox thing as I've not seen that occur elsewhere.

Thanks.
Leaving the original (2.9) installed and installing the second of those two likes in the previous posting and then entering the link command as advised by watchdog did the job.
I've also deleted /usr/share/abiword-2.9 (leaving just the 'new' abiword-2.8 directory).
Things look good thanks (excepting that there are two Abiword menu items under MENU, DOCUMENTS)

Kernel Init - Not Syncing
Hello,
I've found an issue, which is kind of odd.
On my netbook I've found that there is a Kernel Panic that occurs during the boot sequence. I've seen this on other pups before, usually on a frugal that's 2FS file's has gotten heavy, but this is a full on a 300GB HD with 1GB of onboard RAM (it's an Atom-based HP Mini).
Usually waiting for the whole panic and restarting causes the machine to start fine.
Any idea why?

openssl on slacko 5.6
Does anyone have any tips for the best way to install the latest openssl on slacko 5.6?
I am showing:
# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
#
which I understand is one of the heartbleed affected versions.

Re: openssl on slacko 5.6
Thanks! I've selected it from there, then saved a copy of it from /tmp for later offline installation. I may see if I can make a .pet of it. cheersSFR wrote:You'll find it in Menu -> Setup -> Updates Manager
Hmmm, just looking at the packages it looks like quite a bit going on under the hood - not an easy drag 'n 'drop upgrade of a few libs. Lots of certificates to be removed, renamed and replaced. If you are trying to do a manual install offline is it as simple as clicking the /install/doinst.sh?
(I was hoping to insert this upgrade into a slacko-based pup I am manually remastering)
Should I just leave this to the devs and see if someone makes a .pet?
A list of the files included in the slack packages can be found 2/3 of the way down the page here:
http://pkgs.org/slackware-14.0/slackwar ... 0.txz.html
(keep clicking 'show more')
Seems like a huge list of files.

Thanks rg66. Turns out I got the same problem with your pet as I did with the other v 1.16 pets i had tried - wget still failed.rg66 wrote:http://smokey01.com/rg66/X-slacko/pet_p ... -X-slacko/greengeek wrote:Hi, does anyone have a wget pet addressing the recent vulnerabilities please?

If anyone else with Slacko 5.6 has wget failure after installing updates please have a look at 8Geee's fix (and the posts around it) here
It seems to be a problem with an incorrectly named (or missing) lib symlink.
