Hello, Thanks for Slacky. I have always liked Slackware and derivatives. Slacky is working good for me. Is there any way I can get thunar file manager? Not seeing it in any of the repos. Is there a pet?

@rcrsn51
Regarding this reply of yours to me:
SUCCESS!
I installed that PET within Slacko-5.3, and it fixed the problem I explained in my post here.

Hi Mick... I know you said you wanted to 'test Opera to death', so here is a funny little system bug: lets say you have a script attached to a keybinding to do something, typically to launch a browser, it might look something like this:
Code: | <Key keycode="117">exec:defaultbrowser</Key> | , (taken from /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal), where Seamonkey is the default browser.
Ok, will work just fine. BUT. Load Opera, exit, and the keybinding will no longer work without a re-start of X.
The fix is to de-select 'override window manager control of the pinboard and panels' from rox options Compatibility, but I dont know what implications this may have on other sub-systems.

For those having problems with Touchpad settings in flsynclient:
I found to get any decent speed of the pointer I had to set the min and max speed at maximum - With Lupu, a speed of 1.0 was perfectly OK.
Tapping problems.
In addition to having the touchpad mode ON one has to go into the tapping tab.
First set the tap time to something (225 for me)
New to Slacko:
On the top right of the tab there are settings for one finger, two finger, three finger, ...
In Slacko these are diabled.
Make sure you set the top 3 to something. Mine are set to left button, right button, center button.
Only after you do this does tapping work for me.
These settings were already there in Lupu. With Slacko they aren't and have to be made manually.
Any idea why things are different in Slacko, 01Micko? It's not very user friendly.
Edit: to correct what I originally wrote from memory.

I know that glxgears is not a benchmark, but even so I notice a difference between Lucid 5.28, 3HDv2t2 & Slacko 5.3:

1476 frames in 5.0 seconds

Slacko 5.3 w/mesa-7.10.2-s

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.958 FPS

Did I neglect to do something?

Jumping into the new browser wars......
In descending order my preferences are 1.) SeaMonkey, 2.) Firefox, 3.) Opera and 4.) doesn't matter...I'll just install the one I want anyway.

No problem with Opera saving passwords in Slacko 5.30 here.
After saving the password, the next time you attempt to log in, here on the forum for example, the small key icon will appear(see screenie) .....just click the icon.
The user and password boxes remain blank but click on the icon and it logs in.
Posting from Opera 11.52 now... no problems with passwords.
HTH.

Re: Slacko Puppy 5.3 Subject description: feedback and bug reports |

01micko01
good news and bad news... the good news is, Ive tried both 2.95 and 3
slacko-s. Other good news is, after a huge number of packages broke
in RC, all this was apparently fixed in 3... so... with lots of other
fixes, 3 was a real improvement - in example, printing worked in 5.3
with a nice link to a how-to.
Now the less good news, which is... having loaded my standard
10 applications, which all worked after loading, these began to
break as I loaded the remainder.
Gimp stayed for the ride, as did XPaint.
Inkscape-48 died... Acrobat reader died... scribus died...
the special vlc-for-slacko worked for a while, then it too died, and
it is then I gave up(!).
While these may be non-standard apps for some people, they are a
bread and butter installation for me.
The problem seems to be [file conflicts]... while one loaded file works
fine, whichever app is installed first seems to determine what can
or cannot be installed after it... dont know if this tells you
anything useful.
my best to you
