Hi,

Internal microphone not working in SKYPE using an Asus 1015pem computer. The sound card is alc269vb.

All seems OK in generic sound mixer.

Regards Tony.

I used my slacko-54 pae remaster iso and did a manual frugal install
to a 32gb flash drive, running on acer laptop.

With the devx and kernel source sfs files already in the remaster it
was easy to download and compile the
amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run file.

It's working well on this laptop.

Bug report...

When I tried to install my pet package Advanced Bash Scripting Guide v6.6
I noticed that the desktop entries wouldn't show in the Start menu.

The most likely reason is because the package has two desktop files inside.

The fix was to type 'fixmenus' after the installation of the pet package.

Note that Barry Kauler made some change to his Precise distro
a couple of months ago that solved the problem.

Just as an experiment I booted up with kernel option
"i915.modeset=0" on my IBM desktop with intel graphics.

The firstrun application has a confusing message. I took
a screenshot.

Will there be a Fat Slacko 5.4?

[duke93535]

May I ask the reason for having most of the JWM main menu items broken down into submenus? Some of them have only one item in the submenu, which seems silly to me. I had no problem with Slacko 5.3.3. and the normal xdg system.

Slacko 5.4 is working well on my Acer Aspire with an Intel Atom processor and Nvidia graphics. I am using Pmode=6 fugal install. This is the first time that I have not had a problem with the Pmode=6 fugal install. It works well. I am using the default Nouvea driver for the graphics and it works fine. Thanks for all the work.

I hope I'm not asking this in the wrong place...

I can't get PPLOG to launch in Slacko 5.4 Opera4 (non-pae version) I get error 500.

Machine is HP laptop, i7 sandybridge and Intel video (didn't change driver) 4gb ram, booting from CD iso image. I tried it after saving a couple of times, and also pfix=ram.

I Really like Slacko thanks so much for this!

FirstRun end,i check "save" ->.2fs or .4fs
nothing saved and the pc reboot,why?
maybe i lost something?

[happyzjk]

i found the way.
My USB-HDD have 4 saved files of slacko-5.3.3
so,i delete they.
that okay,i can save-file for slacko-5.4

I find JWM menu sub-categories very uncomfortable. How can I remove them to have the menu just like Wary or Precise? I mean: Menu > Category > Program.

This Puppy is real nice, BTW.
