All seems OK in generic sound mixer.
Regards Tony.

Slacko-5.4 feedback and bug reports Subject description: slacko-54 remaster on acer laptop |
|
I used my slacko-54 pae remaster iso and did a manual frugal install
to a 32gb flash drive, running on acer laptop.
Report Video 1.4 - Tue 4 Dec 2012 on Slacko Puppy 5.4 - Linux 3.4.17-PAE i686

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.

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!

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.

PAE on Intel I-series processors |

My comments more than likely will not solve the "500" problem. But, I noticed that your running non-PAE on a system.equiped with a PAE designed processor.
If you or anyone is running an "I-series processor" you will probably get better performance with PAE versions of Puppy. It has to do with the Linux-Puppy design, method of RAM usage, and the Intel hardware. This was shown and documented when we did testing of PUPPY with PAE earlier. Similar testing by other groups outside of Puppyland show this as well. And, this is consistent with Intel and AMD testing a decade ago. This performance increase is independent of how much RAM you have but certainly makes Puppy a capable RAM user on all systems 4GB or greater.
Here to help

Notwithstanding test conclusions by others, in my personal experience there is no appreciable benefit from using a PAE version of Puppy.
