Upgraded without issue, and user settings remain 'set ' upon re-opening.

Thanks 01micko..:D

e2a: Was tempted to raise the GSettings error, but then a quick search reveals that you "refuse to compile against the gconf bloat!" - I'll get back to playing with my working 1.0.5 then :)

Thank you 01micko for this release: very 'em 'speedy'' :) ************************************************* I have a little issue with Mplayer (1.0.4) retaining the sound card preferences.

Just a little quirk I found whilst testing some conversions from 'ogg' to 'mp3. Sylvander was advised by the manufacture of his TV, that the TV would 'know' when a file had been altered from its original format: Whilst attempting to play the converted mp3 file results in the TV switching off, and ba...

You've read my mind :)
I have been trying to, unsuccessfully, add either Media Tomb or Minidlna most of today.

Found your minidlna-1.0.22-1.pet, and installed upon Slacko 531.
Happy to report that all seems well. Panasonic TV.

Thank you so much...

Found this thread whilst trying to hack together an Arduino IDE onto three headed dog - went well. As they both share the same kernel, I thought I'd try the installation in Slacko 531 using the same packages. I believe the order in which they are loaded is important: 1) binutils-avr_2.20-2_i386.deb ...

Thank you for nice distro. Things I noticed: Don't like e2sfsck on boot - painfully slow on ext2 partition. After msg "messagebus..." appears whilst booting; Text turns 'Greek?" - Text is fine in X. Browsing 'proc' folder in ROX causes Rox to stop responding. Used ROX options to turn ...

Happy to confirm that the Slacko based SFS worked a like a charm. Not the perfect driver for my card (Nvidia ION) as GXLgears seems to sutter - no where as nice as it does with in FATDOG_64 with the 290.x drivers. Installed 285.x driver - Tried 'nvidia-installer --update' which fails with an error &...

Update: Looked into my shutdown problem, but because I had 'fiddled' prior to installing the bluetooth pets I couldn't be certain of where to begin debugging - hence I decided to start from a clean install. Happy to report that the bluetooth is working great and the shutdown et al works as expected....
