yeah James! We know You must have the only brookdale chip on the planet that works 100%

Charlie, xf86-video-intel-2.15.0.txz is in the main iso anyway, you've no need to add it, but libdrm-2.4.25.txz I might update, we are at libdrm-2.4.23.txz

I've updated the mesa pet, it includes GLEW.

Cheers

Sorry to just report always the same problem and not suggest a solution : tray slider of sound did not work. (but sound is OK).

1) I tried changing its 'full window' or (and) its 'config window' => no action. It always displays CD
2) I then tried to modify the .retrovolrc script => tray_control=14 or 37 => no action.
What is the procedure to be followed?
Thanks

I'm currious about how slacko uses cache. There seems to be a wide variation, even on a fresh boot. Here's two consecutive boots:

Hi Mick,
Testing VolumeIcon.pet.

Test I :
Install it > OK
mp3 > sound OK (pmusic) > tray slider > no action
right clic on it > open Alsa Mixer > NO ACTION

Test 2 :
Open GnomeMplayer > mp3 > sound OK > volume slider of GnomeMplayer : OK
Open Alsa Mixer >PCM > no action (up or down)
Test 3 :
Open GnomeMPlayer >preferences > audio out displays 'default' and not ALSA.
I modified ' audio out' and put 'ALSA' and... tray icon and Alsa mixer are OK now
But after a 'restart X server' or a reboot, ALSA mixer and taskbar tray icon did not run ( GnomeMplayer > Audio out again on Default' and not on Alsa
I modified again ' audio out' and put again 'ALSA' and...tray icon and alsa mixer are OK now

En progrès

Testing Slacko on the Pentium D will have to wait until tomorrow as it's my Brother's turn on that machine. On Beta 2 it had the same WiFi problem with my Netgear WN111v2 as previously reported.

Will give it a shot on the K6 2 500 if I can get it to start, PSU is a bit dodgy ATM and needs replacing. The version of ffmpeg that comes with Slacko and Lupu is i686-only however so I'll need an alternative MP3 player that doesn't rely on it - I use Madplay on Wary.

I've remembered that I didn't give more details on the printer setup on the Pentium D. The printer is an HP DeskJet 720C, and on Lupu it is set up in CUPS with a ppd (IIRC) script downloaded via this forum. In order to work it needs a pet called pnm2ppa (IIRC) to be installed. Not entirely sure what it does, I think it's some sort of convertor for the data being sent to the printer. On Lupu, I downloaded it and its huge pile of dependencies from one of the Ubuntu repositories on PPM but of course Slacko doesn't access those.

@jades: Here is a driver PET for your Deskjet 720C. It has been available in the forum for a while. This is a pretty basic driver, so I don't know why the other distros would add a bunch of dependencies.

Could you please test it in Slacko?

Tried the java SFS from Slickpet
Got the enclosed read out at the end . . .

There is a later jre here - that has downloaded to the correct location
that has taken . . .

Thanks Lobster

Presently grabbing a Java-* update 27 sfs, will test and upload if all good. BTW, the *24 version loaded fine for me with sfs_load.

Slacko B4 I am delaying a couple of days, I have made immense changes and need to test myself a bit more before release. None of the changes affect the core. They are all superficial, however they are critical to usability. Maybe some will be backported to woof (In particular, I have shrunk a lot of GUI .. mainly stock woof ones that look terrible if you don't have at least 1024x768 resolution.. think netbook).
