Hello guys, There is something of a "known issue" with the mplayer (and so also gnome-mplayer) in Slacko 5.6 01micko has posted a .pet of a newly-compiled mplayer here:- http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=87987&start=97 I found that some video files would not play in the original but installing this .pet fixed it for me. _________________ Oscar in England  |

Indeed, this does solve the problem for me too. Thanks, OscarTalks! _________________ I used to only like Puppy as a friend, but now I think our relationship is starting to develop into something more...  |

X-Slacko Wanted to use two programs- Osmo and Leafpad. Couldn't find them in X-Slacko anywhere so went and did a search in the PPM. PPM indicated that both these programs were already installed in X-Slacko... they were not, at least to the point where you could click on anything and use them. I reinstalled both programs from the PPM despite the warning that the supposed already installed packages would be over written. Both work just fine now! FYI If you run across this with any other packages just reinstall the program from the PPM, you always then have the option to uninstall it! Wifi holding up well so far! Seamonkey browser appears more stable than Firefox (at least on my setup.) And on with the testing we go.... >>>---Indian------> _________________ Cloud Computing For Every Puppy (a .pet) http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69192 |

@ dawg I've had X-slacko running on 4 different comps and haven't seen any of the problems you are experiencing except for the AMD/P3 issue. Does your ISO md5sum checkout? As for the thunar font size, it's not adjustable as far as I know. You can go to Control Panel > Desktop > Set global font size and change from 96dpi to something smaller but it will be system wide (after restartX). @ sszindian Slacko (pre-X), lists removed packages as installed in ppm. I'm sure precise does as well but will have to confirm this. _________________ X-slacko-5b1 - X-tahr-2.0 - X-precise-2.4 X-series repo |

@rg66,
I'm playing with O-precise 5.7.1  and precise 5.7.1 retro does indeed still show programs as installed after removal with the remove built-in utility.
Just for chuckles, I've pulled jwm/rox/event_manager/inbuilt browsers/geany and lots else from the retro precise 5.71. Added openbox, tint2, spacefm, acpid, acpitools, emendo etc. I'm at 120Mb on the SFS (0 on the save file) with plenty of programs and cruft still in. Pkg manager works fine. Suspends, sets wallpaper, mounts and unmounts..... Nice low CPU and memory use. Really running quite well. Just playing. _________________ Pups currently in kennel LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64, LxPupArtful and ubbPup for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS. |

Working on X-Slacko, I've found a build of OpenOffice 4 that works, as well as the Cairo-Dock 2.1 Slacko SFS works on it. A good OpenOffice 4 Slackware build, which requires a right-click download in Firefox, is here. http://www.microlinux.fr/slackware/testing/slackware/ Unfortunately it doesn't create menu items, so to run OpenOffice I created a panel shortcut in Xfce with the command "openoffice4" to make it work (there's already an OpenOffice icon to use). Question then: What's a decent menu editor for X-Slacko? Cairo-Dock 2.1's SFS also works well, found here: http://www.lhpup.org/team/aracnachid/downloads/ 2.2 is locked. Also, what's the easiest way to remove AbiWord and Gnumeric? |

Try http://carolina-linux.com/rg66/X-precise/pet_packages-X-precise/xmenumaker-3.1.0-Xprecise.pet. It was edited for X-precise by Geoffrey but should also work in X-slacko. Is the Open Office sfs putting .desktop files in /usr/share/applications? If so what does "Categories=" show? I'd say the easiest way to remove those packages is with Control Panel > Software > Remove builtin packages. Although, package manager with still show them as installed but you can still reinstall them. _________________ X-slacko-5b1 - X-tahr-2.0 - X-precise-2.4 X-series repo |

Thanks. Xmenumaker does work. The OpenOffice isn't an SFS but a .txz. I will take a look a bit later. Thanks! Back soon. EDIT: Thanks again! It does remove the two packages from the menu. Now to figure out which Google Chrome is the best for X-Slacko. |

Slacko-1.1 delta is out - 2.9mb A few fixes and updates. The non-pae will come shortly, unfortunately it still doesn't work with older AMD and P3 cpu's. Hopefully that'll be fixed in the next one. Change log and download link is in the first post _________________ X-slacko-5b1 - X-tahr-2.0 - X-precise-2.4 X-series repo |

rg66: Any chance of getting a panel-EXTRAS (weather, etc) like you made for X-Precise? That's a nice add-on feature! The one for X-Precise doesn't seem to want to work in X-Slacko? (unless it's something I'm not doing right?) >>>---Indian------> _________________ Cloud Computing For Every Puppy (a .pet) http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69192 |

Ya, the X-precise ones don't work in X-slacko. I was planning on doing them when I have time. There's a bunch of plugins in the repo, just do a search for xfce. _________________ X-slacko-5b1 - X-tahr-2.0 - X-precise-2.4 X-series repo |

I've tried a few Chrome/Chromium pets and even gotten as far as asking me for a default browser, but missing libraries. I tried running the lib libraries in Slacko and they crash. Any ideas? |

Did you try this Chromium by peebee? http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=81351. It's supposed to work in slacko 5.6 _________________ X-slacko-5b1 - X-tahr-2.0 - X-precise-2.4 X-series repo |

Regret it doesn't work in xslacko1.1 due I think to Firefox having it's libraries in paths that Chromium does not see:
libnss3.so is in /opt/firefox in xslacko in /usr/lib/firefox.../ in vanilla Slacko Maybe needs some links or PATH redefinition Cheers peebee _________________  LxPup = Puppy + LXDE |
