Here are the packages, 01micko - as you can see, there are some nice extras :lol:

The most interesting packages are mplayer2, libav, cmus and Dropbear (a must-have in the next version, IMHO).

Just some all-organic wallpapers to complete the green-bath:

Don't have the heart to whine about anything in this release. It's been rock-solid.

f/b had my first chromium 16.0.881.0 (Developer Build 101020 Linux) crash today, 5 tabs open flash ver 11.0.1.152
no idea why, but when I killed the unresponsive tab to murga forum, got a message that chromium may have run out of memory...or was it flash....anyone know which flash version is most stable and how to get from where I am to where I need to be? - slacko 5.3scsipae noryb win32.exe install
Thanks, Mick, otherwise rock solid and fast, nice job!

hardinfo attached: .html changed to .gz as forum won't accept .html suffix
There's only 2 xeons, but multitasking/hyperthreading enabled in bios, so shows as 4
Edit: Watching youtube gets a flash pop-up saying 's.yting.com is requesting permission to store data on your hard drive'
. Neither permit or deny will work, and the pop-up remains visible.....aaargh!

Guys, here is a new bunch of console applications for 5.3:
- aria2, multi-protocol (including BitTorrent) download tool
- Axel, download accelerator
- Calcurse, calendar and personal organizer
- CenterIM, multi-protocol instant messenger - good alternative to Pidgin
- CLEX, tiny file manager
- cmus, awesome music player
- file, file type guessing tool - newer and better than the old package Puppy uses
- man, less and groff - manual page viewer, text viewer and a text formatting tool
- hnb - hierarchical notebook for storing notes or anything you come up with
- htop - process monitor
- Irssi - IRC client
- Mutt - mail client
- Screen - terminal multiplexer
- Snownews - news reader and RSS client
- Vim - (the best) text editor

More will be uploaded next week. :wink:

RE my post just above, went into menu/internet/adobe flash player, and set 'block all sites from storing info on the computer' as the only way to get rid of the dang pop-up
I downloaded flash install 01.pet and installed update, but in chromium, about:plugins still only shows v 11.1.102r, whereas update was 11.1.102.55.tar.gz, and shows as installed OK
Is the installer a different version to the browser plugin?
Sorry if that's a dumb question, I don't usually mess about with flash, as it's usually blocked in FF anyway...but this is chromium

Edit: Also Chromium seems to have a problem displaying i18n international/UTF8 characters - anyone got any tips?

Re acpid_patch-1.pet:

Suspend works fine on both of my laptops (see sig). It also works when internal partitions are mounted. If any usb drive is mounted or booted from usb, suspend doesn't work.

Shutdown doesn't work. Not with OK button and not after 30 sec.

I like this GUI, even with this limitations. :D

Openshot-1.4.0.sfs 75M includes python
:cry:
It crashed.
I installed the xfce for slacko (eh - should have included the dependencies coz it crashed the system)
then the slackware 13.37 official xfce
that ran when pressing ctrL+alt+ backspace
and typing xwin startxfce4 (had to look that up - how am I supposed to remember it) :roll:
Whenever I tried to import video or even jpgs into Openshot 1.4
it crashed like a derailed pumpkin. :oops:

. . . strangely (or maybe not?) Openshot would load in JWM
It started off with a 'video static' dialog box (normally an indication that it is not running properly) which is exactly what happened in xfce

I will writing to bugman as I hold him responsible. :wink:

Incidentally after slacking off and running 'Racy' and even Saluki alpha 002, I am back in Slacko. Because of the great ATI drivers and media support, I immediately felt at home. :)

Hmm.. works for me and that was original code unchanged (written by Patriot) :? . Might be a bit dependant on HW

Bummer... In my limited testing it worked, so looks like I need to do extensive testing. Oh well. :roll: :lol:

Concerning acpid_patch-1.pet:

It works now :D. It wasn't the hardware.
I changed in acpi_poweroff.sh:

Code: Select all

77	[ "$EXIT" = "Cancel" ]&& exit
78	[ "$EXIT" = "suspend" ]&& touch /tmp/suspend 
79	/etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh && exit
80 fi
to:

Code: Select all

77	[ "$EXIT" = "Cancel" ]&& exit
78	[ "$EXIT" = "suspend" ]&& touch /tmp/suspend && /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh && exit
79 fi
Cheers

Hi mick and all,

happy slacko user here :wink:

One little bug I found, not in Slacko but in the new Chromium 17.0.945.0.pet:
I am unable to install extensions (add-ons)

I tried several times, with reboots in between, wiped chromium again, reinstalled..no joy.

The extensions web page opens normally, I can type in what I'm looking for, my choice appears, but after clicking "Add to Chromium", nothing happens..

Maybe it's because I live in the eurozone and am no longer allowed to add extensions under the upcoming banksters austerity plans :D

Bug in delayedrun script - YAF SPLASH

#316 Post by ETP »

Please see my post in the 528 thread.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 900#587900

The same issue exists in Slacko at line 234. The identical fix applies.

I just updated my Slacko repository with the latest versions of all packages. I also added some new ones, such as NetSurf.

All packages were built in a clean Slacko 5.3 environment without Mesa or any other 3D acceleration provider, so they should be compatible with any 5.3.x release. They're stripped and ultra-optimized, as usual.

Note 1: all packages are installed in /opt, since they are "unofficial"; I don't want them to conflict with built-in packages. To make them work, add "/opt/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf and edit /etc/profile, so /opt/bin is present in the PATH variable.

Note 2: some functionality was removed from these packages: man's conversion utilities (which are unneeded), cmus' cmus-remote executable (which isn't used often), Dropbear's scp client (which is useless, since Dropbear is used as a SSH server or client) and wbar's GTK+ configuration tool (which makes it much heavier).

Note 3: it will take some time for the packages (and their sources) to be uploaded, since I'm currently moving iguleder.info to its new location.

Internet:
- aria2, a multi-protocol (HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, etc') download tool
- Axel, the latest version - better than the ancient one we use in the official releases
- CenterIM - a multi-protocol instant messenger, way lighter than Pidgin or Finch
- Dropbear - a SSH server and client
- Irssi - an IRC client
- Mutt - an e-mail client
- Snownews - a news reader, with support for RSS feeds
- NetSurf - a graphical web browser
- Links - a text web browser, built without its graphical mode (which isn't worth much, since it's about twice the size of NetSurf and looks horrible)

Utility:
- rxvt-unicode - a terminal emulator, lighter and newer than the one in official releases
- GNU Screen - a terminal multiplexer

System:
- Htop - an interactive process monitor

File system:
- CLEX - a file manager

Multimedia:
- libav - a complete audio streaming, conversion and recording solution
- cmus - a music player with awesome features found only in the big guys (Rhythmbox, Amarok and Banshee), at a tiny fraction of the size; has an optional dependency on libav
- mplayer2 - a media player, which uses libav to provide support for many codecs and formats

Personal:
- Calcurse - a calendar and personal organizer
- hnb - a hierarchical notebook for storing notes or any other data

Graphics:
- imlib2 - an image loading library, built with additional loaders for more formats
- sxiv - an image viewer that utilizes imlib2

Desktop:
- wbar - a lighweight dock, depends on imlib2

Document:
- Vim - the ultimate text editor

Misc.:
- man, groff and less - a manual page viewer and its dependencies: a text formatting tool and a text viewer
- cwm and libbsd - OpenBSD's minimalistic window manager and a library I used to port it to GNU/Linux

If you mean the "-close never" option I got it .Thanks :)

Bert, re chromium add ons. That would have to be a chromium bug eh? In that version I guess, I'm leaving the older ones available in slick and PPM anyways.

-

Yes there has been some delay in 531, I have many an excuse.. real life, forum downtime, adverse weather, syncing with woof2,, I can dream up some more .. :P

All going well Monday is it.. and Iguleder, I tried a couple of your packages, rather cool 8) .. I may as well upload them .. nice stocking fillers :) .. oh do you guys have a similar trad for Hanaka?

cheers every body.

Iggy.. just saw your post.. when? I d'loaded the lot about 3hrs ago

I clicked the "upload" menu entry in the beloved FileZilla, but I'm uploading huge files right now, which will take forever.

I changed the upload priority, so the packages are pouring in now :)

Bear in mind that if you want to upload them to the repo, they require some fixes:
- /opt/bin in PATH
- /opt/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf
- /opt/share/applications and /opt/share/pixmaps in the menu generator (or just make them symlinks to those in /usr/share, so the package files get redirected to the system-wide directories)

EDIT: forgot this - happy Hanukkah :)

IMHO 5.3.1 should be released in the name of coexistence, tolerance and peace, as a Christmas and Hanukkah gift to the world :)

EDIT 2: CenterIM is quite big, I want to see how Finch is.

Ah, ok... you know a wrapper script may have been handy :) ..anyways, some I have are ok and I'll upload those with a niche, and others I'll get Lobby to link your repo to the Slacko News wiki page (default news page in Slickpet :wink: )

Cheers,, and I got it (re spelling :wink: )
