peebee, acpi=off on the kernel line may help.

I'll wait until 3.9 matures a bit before doing another version, also it's likely I missed a new config line for your machine. (HP lappy?)

Kernel source is now re-uploaded

3.9.1 is still warm.

-updated 3.9 >> 3.9.1, added some more drivers, probably more obscure ones
-fixed probepart for f2fs
-AUFS now up to stable 3.9 branch
-compiled aufs-util 3.9 statically (much smaller, seems to work ok now).

Seems faster to me Confused

(or maybe I'm just slower?)

ThinSlacko is becoming my favourite quick-and-dirty utility Puppy. And Links is good enough to install a printer.

What is the fastest way to get a Gutenprint package?

Can I make a suggestion? The old Legacy GRUB bootloader config doesn't have much value anymore because it can't recognize GRUB2 installs. I would recommend replacing it with Legacy GRUB Config 2013.

As Ray Charles introduced his backup singers Sharon & Karen (sharin' & carin')..

Take a Shot! - yet another screenshot utility..., tas for short - works very well in most newer pups.

previous ref in this thread, page 3 (10th post)

mmmm.. been having some fun with peebee's lxde sfs (yes it does spout a fair amount of err messages in xerrs.log) and it won't do a wmpoweroff or wmreboot from lxde/openbox for me (but fine in blackbox, e16, fluxbox, jwm and miwm). Full disclosure - I have butchered the sfs as a somewhat trimmed quasi-install, so Neutral

faster/slower is all relativity in the observers point of view Laughing

Has anyone managed to setup Firefox as default browser in ThinSlacko?

I have this line in xerrs.log:

@rcrsn51. Try searching PPM and you will be given 1 option for gutenprint. That's the one main slacko uses. I'll also consider your new grubconfig. Thanks.

@`foo. I think I am just slower!

@anikin. Sc0ttman's neat "defaults-chooser" fails in Thin because too much is removed and it chokes. You can do it manually :

Hi Mick

Report of testing 5.5.04 on my HP laptop.....

Basically same problems as with 5.5.03 - lots of errors flash up on bootup but boots to a correctly dimensioned desktop where all is well until you try to reboot whence the reboot sequence drops out to a console where keystrokes are detected and displayed but no commands are recognised. Have to press power-off switch to get out.

Tried acpi=off on kernel line - this gets rid of the bootup error messages but boots to an incorrect dimensions desktop and trying other options through xorgwizard all fail to work. Reboot does not hang with the acpi=off switch in use.

The significant lines from bootkernel.log seem to be:
