X-Slacko-4.4 with Xfce
X-Slacko-4.2 with Xfce
Finally updated the X-Slacko 4.0 on the Bay Trail desktop. No problems noted, Samba shares, printers, autoconnection to wired ethernet on startup all correct. In the summer, this box pretty much sits in the cellar as a NAS box. I use it more in the winter as the woodstove is down here. At any rate, it serves reliably and using minimal power and had been running 4.0 nonstop since its release.

Nice job on this distro, rg66! XFCE is always a pleasure to use. Put it on a SDHC card partition and everything runs smooth & good, handles multiple screens well, video and sound, honestly cannot find anything wrong with it. Good job!!

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I already have a small to-do list but nothing too important. I'll wait for a while before releasing v4.3.Belham wrote:Nice job on this distro, rg66!

X-Slacko-4.2 with Xfce
I compiled wine-1.9.16 and tried to get kodi to run, kodi-15.2 was close to
working well but couldn't play videos.
Xbmc-13.2 Gotham is working okay but many addons are no longer
supported.

@Pete, just use the slacko-6.3.2 devx. If you need to compile Xfce stuff you might also need the Xfce dev files.
http://smokey01.com/rg66/X-slacko/testi ... 12_DEV.pet.
For virtualbox use the tahr 3.14.56 pae kernel sources.

KDE for fun
KDE for fun,i will try it. We like fun, us, retired people, BK with Quirky, and me with XFCE, Xnoise music player Copyright © 2008-2011 Jörn Magens.. playing when i watch canadians women beat germans ones, on the TV.
XFCE apps are not just released, but they play music for few MBs.
KDE.. Hum.. wait and see.
X-Slacko Version 4.2 dowloading.
plus X-slacko-2.3.2.iso 15-Jan-2015 20:06 206M
XFCE for Foreign languages :
Perhaps in the future, Our Toutou french team would think to release X-slacko remake.. to replace XFCE 410 Jejy69, 2012
Skamilinux issued last XFCE in 2010 SevenPuppy 10 + XFCE, perhaps they would renew magyar Puppytheque too. I contact them.. X-Slacko is worth an hungarian version.
I check Pupjibaros, i don't think they have an XFCE Puppy latina.

Picked up a small problem with X slacko full install on a HP Elitebook 8440p
with i5 and 2GB RAM.
Every now and again, it will not shutdown.
It drops down to the cli then just sits there with the log in screen.
Tried going back into X then shutting down, does the same thing.
Typing "shutdown" in the cli does nothing even though the command is accepted.
Any pointers, suggestions?

Hi @rg66 I tried to apply Redmond-Delta theme on xfce appearance of X-slacko 4.2. But it does not work. The appearance return to fallback. But the its window manager theme works. This theme works fine on x-slacko 4.1. Can you help me to fix this problem?

Sorry for the long delay in replying. Type wmpoweroff in console to see error messages. If none, open /usr/bin/wmexit in editor and add -x to top line so it looks like #!/bin/sh -x and try wmpoweroff from terminal again to see if there are errors.Pete wrote:Picked up a small problem with X slacko full install on a HP Elitebook 8440p

You will need to either recompile it or use a hex editor, the name is hard coded.mistfire wrote:@rg66 thank you Redmond-Delta theme is now working. By the way how to change the name/username that appears on whiskermenu. I want to change X-Slacko 4.2 on whiskermenu to FOO
Hex editor is the easiest way, though you will be limited to the same number of characters, at a glance it looks to be 13 characters.
