@Devilmind- It's available here https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... /interims/, usually linked every few kernel announcements in this thread:

@peebee- I have 4.19.0-lxpup64 installed and running in the most recent LxPupSc and lxpupsc64 on the Fujitsu S761 i5 laptop. Tested as in my post above. Posting from that lxpupsc64 now (with the help of the cAT).

Cheers,

After using it for a bit, I have one pretty minor quirk with 4.19.0. It shows up (only the i5 laptop tested) running it in either the most recent lxpupsc64 or LxPupSc. Swapping in 4.18.16 (the last in the 4.18 series ?), your 64b in lxpupsc64 and both your 64b and rockedges 32b 4.18.16 in LxPupSc it is not present. It is also not present with the stock kernels in either. Running performance using 4.19.0 is excellent though video FPS on the i5 was measurably better under 4.18.16. No other glitches or hitches seen in either pup under 4.19.0.

The quirk is that on shutdown with the eventmanager set to 0 and ask, the save dialog box isn't displayed centered correctly. Something about getting out of X with that kernel? Hardware dependent? I dunno. Adding --begin 0 0 to the dialog in rc.shutdown eliminates the false shadows. Pretty minor growing pains but reproducible and real. I'll test follow-ons but see 4.18.16 as a bit more stable for now.

Installed to the Fujitsu S761 i5 laptop in the Experimental directory with upupcc moved up to its own slot, usual Grub4Dos frugal to SSD. First as a pristine boot, then as an update to 18.06 +7 (Savefile scrubbed first).

Both went well, clean boot, sound, SNS connection, Drive recognition, CPU and mem use at idle, video FPS all good. So far, the only glitch I have is with SSL. Starting Sylpheed in either the pristine or update I get

Code: Select all

# sylpheed
sylpheed: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libsylph-0.so.1: undefined symbol: SSL_library_init
And QtWebBrowser starts ok but on trying to connect (all sites) I get

Code: Select all

Error creating SSL context (error:140A90C4:SSL routines:func(169):reason(196))

When connecting to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/

Slimjet 20.0.4 run-as-spot from SFS with the shared profile on the data drive is running perfectly.

As an aside, I'm up to date on lxpupsc64, also using the 64b 4.19.2 kernel and upupbb and upupcc, both using the 32b 4.9.134 kernel with no problems to report.

Thanks @Marv - that is a bug arising from some differences in the testing branch build sequences....a new version has been uploaded to hopefully squish it.

Hi Peebee,

Sorry about the md5 stuff in your other pup. Get really confused on which are which sometimes.

I am testing the new 18.12T. Everything seems good (except Light as a browser is still terrible, lol).

But upon first boot, when the choices for xorg came up, I made the mistake of not choosing the 5th option of the the "alt. xorg server 1.11.4".

Since I've already created a "savefile" and all, how can I get boot to do this option again, so I can choose the alt. xorg server (the newer xorg, like before, won't let me run redshift and such on my equipment).

Thanks for any hints/tips. (the y, z and f-drv sfses are in the frugal folder, along with main sfs, vmlinuz & initrd.gz)

Moved the frugal install from the i5 laptop, scrubbing savefile wrt sound, SNS connection, flsynclient, xorg, udev, /var/local/xorg_udev to force an xorg setup on boot. The usual. Booted cleanly, correct video resolution and drivers, automatically made wired ethernet connection, sound working, redshiftgui ok, had to use pmount to reestablish mount-on-boot for sda2 (the data drive) as it is EXT4, not EXT2 on this box. This box has an optical drive so both CD and DVD autoplays checked. Just fine, other than the crummy in-monitor speakers :( Sylpheed & Slimjet 20.0.4.0 run-as-spot from SFS are just fine. A little more cruft in Dmesg than on the i5 but can't see any deficits in operation. CPU % with Slimmie minimized just now is 1% or less, I run these boxes with the performance governor, all cores locked at 2GHz, as the whole box dissipates 14W flat out. All in all seems fine. Posting from Slimjet 20.0.4.0.

I migrated the whole updated kennel from the i5 so the current lxpup64, LxPupBionic, upupbb and upupcc also are snuggled up alongside X-Slacko 4.4 on this box. I ran the same checks as above for all the newcomers and have full function from all of them on this hardware. Not enough time on them with this hardware to pick a favorite as they all seem solid.

Update: Nov. 25th. Back on the i5 in the current 18.12T. Still solid and serviceable after a few days use. With the intel_pstate powersave governor running, on the i5 also the CPU % at idle is now at 1%, matching what I get on upupbb & upupcc (same governor, hardware...). First time in a long time I've seen less than 3% on the slackware derivs. Seems 'snappier' also, subjective of course, but now feels the same as the jwm based upupbb & upupcc on this i5.

I only run one desktop and usually on the lappie so I haven't any mouse-scrollwheel experience to speak of.

Cheers,

Hi Peebee & all,

Everything so far has been running great on the 18T testing, but one thing has been driving me nuts. The mouse-scroll-wheel switching desktops whenever you accidentally hit it while your mouse is outside a current desktop window.

I've modded all the mouse-bind settings /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml (and lxde-rc.xml) files, but the mouse-scroll-wheel changer pager desktops just keeps going on. I even tried mochi's trick of putting "onroot 4 and onroot 5" in .jwm/personal, and still no luck. The blasted thing refuses to change/die. It's like Chuckie!!!

Here's a pic below, can anyone tell me what the "DESKTOP Pager SETTINGS" do when you right-click on the desktop pager to see this? When I highlight it, click it, nothing happens. Is there some chance there's a setting in there (or somewhere else) that will deactivate this terrible nuisance (by the way?


This mouse-scroll-wheel feature has been almost completely removed from many Linux distros, and other pups, because of the annoyance of it and it's terrible implementation.

Sure wish you'd join, Peebee, and kill this feature off for good, or at least set it to the default of where the mouse-scroll-wheel doesn't do this when accidentally hitting it. If a person wants the other desktop in the pager, we travel down to it and click on that particular desktop in the pager. That's how it should be. We shouldn't be having pager desktop switches be constantly activated if you happen to be outside a desktop window on your current desktop, and, then, suddenly, boom, a slight bump of the mouse-scroll-wheel and it changes the pager to another desktop---where your heart stops a moment because you think you just lost everything.


Thanks for any hints/tips/ about this pic and if there supposed to be something there to help kill this mouse-scroll-wheel changing pager desktops feature:

Hi Peebee,

Yeah, I had already removed those lines....does nothing, mouse-scroll-wheel still changes the desktop.

That's why I joked and said it is like "Chuckie", it refuses to die/stop.

I am out of options of what to try.....what is that "Desktop Pager Settings" I posted in my previous page? Clicking it does nothing.
