Not a bug, but Google Chrome 15 for Slacko. (Iron 15 runs a couple of weeks behind Chrome, so it will be ready soon.)

01micko - will you introduce any library/version changes in 5.3.1? I'm currently building a Trinity SFS (yes, that's right!) on 5.3 and I don't want to recompile this complex beast once more for 5.3.1.

It took about a week to get it to build, because all of the trouble I ran into. Now I also decided to move Qt3 to /opt/qt3 (since we all love modularity, don't we?) and keep Trinity itself in /opt/trinity. This caused lots of mess.

Iguleder:

You can easily make ".sfs" files for the Trinity KDE stuff used in the latest Porteus-v1.1rc1-i486.iso as follows:

Download the latest Porteus-v1.1rc1-i486.iso from:

http://porteus.org/distro-download/download-latest-32-bit.html in the "testing/Porteus-v1.1-rc1" directory.

Click on the .iso file and extract "004-kde.xzm" and "005-kdeapps.xzm" from the "porteus/base" directory.

Extract the contents:

unsquashfs -f -dest kde 004-kde.xzm

unsquashfs -f -dest kdeapps 005-kdeapps.xzm

Create "kde.sfs" and "kdeapps.sfs" files:

mksquashfs kde kde.sfs

mksquashfs kdeapps kdeapps.sfs

You can use "sfs_load" from "sfs_load-1.3.pet" to try them out in Slacko.

KDE then seems to be fully operational.

Best Regards,

Grndoor

Applied Slacko 5.3.0.1-Main.iso.delta and used existing savefile(something I don't make a habit of) to test.
All seems to run well.

Not sure quite what is occurring here and wondered if anyone else can confirm this.
If I insert a normal audio cd and click on the drive to play it,the drive mount led is not present and the cd/dvd drive door can be opened during playback.
However,if I insert a dvd containing mp3's,the mount led is present(as it should be) and the cd/dvd drive door is locked.
I should mention that I also see this in Lucid 528.

@01micko- thanks, yes, setting resolution from personal preferences worked. The first one it offered me did not work (59.8Hz frame rate), but then it offered me 60Hz, which worked.

@01micko- I installed MESA-GLX, as recommended by the drivers test in Slickpet. Then....every time I tried to connect to a website, Seamonkey closed down.

Got rid of that, just staying with standard issue radeon for now.

The video controller is reported as ATI M66GL [ATI Mobility FireGL V5250].

Still no go with flsynclient on an Acer Aspire One netbook using 5.3.0.1
I can set up Touchpad Sensitivity,save settings but once rebooted the settings are back at zero and the cursor is uncontrollable.

Brown Mouse,

Ok, so it failed (miserably Surprised

). Delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf. Restart X. You should then be back at Square 1.

Next you can try flSynclient-0,7 in PPM. You will get 2 menu entries. I'll need to fix that.
