I have not tested Chrome on Slacko having given up on the whole nasty mess (Chrome that is) a couple of weeks back but in Spup1 I used to have to add these libs. The small image is of libs that Mozilla adds, so should be looked for within the /usr/lib/seamonkey directories.

I was bored so........removed JWM and added LXDE and PCmanfm.Got rid of that Thunar menu entry too.
Think that means I'm bored.

The version I am putting up tonight is a full rebuild from the ground up with the new woof infrastructure. I'm hoping by some magic the bug disappears [ ]. Not exactly scientific, I have no clue. I searched all the pppoe scripts, nothing near a mention of "pdf".
I was mistaken in my earlier response, I only recompiled epdfview. The quirky version didn't run. I will redownload pppoe.. maybe something corrupt crept in.

Hi All

Uploading Slacko Beta 1 as I type, will be about half an hour or so.

It's a little bit exciting ..

There are still bugs I have not addressed. moving to "Official" required a lot of work as I had a very comfortable structure, so things like Frisbee, Synaptics are still in the same state, sorry. However there are a bunch of fixed bugs, ffmpeg, gnome-mplayer, Pmusic, BrokenDale [ ], stray menu items (thunar etc),

There will be a very well stocked PPM. Lots of QT stuff for those inclined, alternate multimedia stuff, Emacs, browsers... also the sfs still reside on smokey01 and brainwave but still should work. I'll consult with Barry about the best way to handle this.

There is still heaps to do. I appeal to any body that likes fixing bugs to knuckle down and give us a hand here in the Slacko thread (well in the new Beta thread anyway..).

The time schedule I have set is six weeks until release (late September). I think that gives us a comfortable Beta cycle. We are a maturing product, I have been on Slacko (aka spup) for 9 months now.

Package devs feel free to offer anything you can. Many Slackware packages work ootb but there is always room for more packages!

Ok, 'nuff drivel from me for half an hour at least

Thanks for the posts on the 'lib' files.... just maybe with enough time (and it appears it's going to take some time) one of us (or someone with a lot of knowledge on browsers) will be able to figure out just what makes this Chromium animal click? I hope so!

aarf I would have no clue if you had not shared that link. Much appreciated you cared about us that miss such announcements.
I thought it would be in the first post in the threads I write in but being beta he most likely want comments on that one separate. That is important too.

To not mix up comments. I download and check how it acts up.

Slack has always been one of my favourites, but, sadly, a very brief look at this Puppy proved disappointing. Won't get another chance to mess with it until tomorrow, but one glaring issue was browser display. Had never, ever seen 'aliasing' on any of my kit before, ancient or modern - didn't know what folks were complaining about. Now I see it for the first time (ATI - RV6DE). SM I hate anyway, so don't understand slavish adherence to it in derivatives? The curious reluctance to default to a mixture of US and Oz localisations continues to puzzle despite being raised here several times.
Notwithstanding this, and other apparent issues, the overall presentation is rather pleasant as well as the speed.
