Downloaded 5.3.2.9 and upgraded from 5.3.2.7 which I have been using for a couple of weeks.

So that is not a pristine DVD load, it picked up my previous settings and went straight to a black screen [no sobbing]
So I had to turn the computer off and it then did a file system check
and then went straight to an updated from 5.3.2.7 to 5.3.2.9 desktop - oh yeah! 8)

So I am happy as I have Openshot and VLC etc already set up
and am very pleased to not have to start over . . .

What I can say (I have said it before) Slacko is a system that works and I can rely on it to get work done (actually I should say 'play done')

Looking forward to the release version
Let us hope we can get a transmission with magnets . . .

Hi Jim..

Funny, I was just testing ntfs partitions and no problems here. Have you done a chkdsk lately?

Check your PM on another matter :wink:

Dell C610 and sound again

#377 Post by zekebaby »

Hi folks,

Tried the latest .9 beta on the Dell C610 with Intel 8x0 sound. Clean manual frugal install. I heard the 2 barks on initial boot, but sound is gone on all subsequent reboots after a savefile is created. No errors, and the sound icon is present in the tray at 75%.

Also, strange (and unrelated) is that it took 2 full minutes between the time I clicked on Administrator on the yellow save config dialog till I got the "probing partitions" popup followed by the next dialog.

I'll test the latest beta on the Dell D430 and Panasonic Toughbook CF-T2 later

Anyone else tried downloading the older Flash Player from PPM?
Doesn't seem to be working for me.

Excellent, as usual, thanks!
Would be nice if it could detect native 1440x900, though. Both DaveS and I have had irritations over that. Perhaps modern NTSC monitor/TVs don't use that format, yet? Surely, they all come from the same source?! Might be a circuitry difference, ie apart from the bleeding obvious one?
Flash Player from PPM
I used the one from the Internet Menu - works OK.

Hello Sage,

I know the newer Flash Player is available from the menu, it's just that I am testing Slacko on a couple of machines including this one which is 10 years old and not the most powerful. Thought I would try the older Flash. The pop-up window even advises as such so if the links in PPM are not working I thought I should mention it. Might be something I am doing wrong though.

I have Lupu running on another 8 year old machine and that has been giving me occasional browser crashes when the more recent Flash is running hard in the page (eg. a media player and a chat window at the same time). SeaMonkey seems a bit more robust than Firefox under those conditions incidentally.
