Lighthouse 64 602 Beta2 with GIMP-2.8.4 (6-29-2013)
Installed the driver from AMD and after that I put it on a pendrive making a savefile and so I could keep Lighthouse the proper way .
The pen drive has a mechanic/hardware lock , I put noautosave on the kernel line , so now behaves like a CD.
From it I could make a frugal install to a partition of my PC so I'm happy...
It's a pleasure using Lighthouse Thank's a lot

Gkrellm and Chrome
I added another gigabyte of storage (I had an old machine I was taking to recycle and the memory fit) - and the Chrome 100% usage problem went away ... so Firefox seems to manage storage better than Chrome (I still prefer Chrome but I'll use FF if there's no Chrome on offer).
I have been using C-F (Fusion WM) with this release and all the C-F effects work fine. No real problems except that gkrellm does not seem to play nicely with it.
No problems if I change to Openbox as the window manager - but change back to "Fusion WM" from the "Change WM" dialog and there's a small bug:
Gkrellm display can't be moved and clicking on the webcam picture doesn't work, and right click fails to bring up the config. The display still shows CPU usage, and temps etc. but there's no interaction with it.
I tried LXDE as the WM with the Compiz .sfs file and C_F works great and interaction with gkrellm works fine with that combination.
Can anyone think of an explanation/fix for this?

Firefox 25?
I keep getting a pop-up notice recommending update to FF 25 but when I go there it says FF 24 is latest.
What's up with that?

I never even noticed that Firefox Help was there (I always open from a desktop icon) - and certainly wasn't aware that it would cause an update that wouldn't work from the toolbar FF Help tab.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Convert .XCF to >JPG
GIMP insists upon outputting a .XCF image file when a watermark is applied.
What is the most simple way in LH64 to convert a .XCF to a .JPG, please?
Is there a batch method?
Ubuntu help describes xcftools but that doesn't show up in the Slackware 64 repositories.

Need Help with monitor and chipset
My friends computer is a Gateway NV78. I put lhp 445 on it long time ago.
She now wants to upgrade. However, when I load the LHP 64 602 the intel chipset sets the monitor to off.
Is there a fix someone could help me with so It will work like the old version of lighthouse to set the monitor to on?
By the way I am in LHP 445 now and it works fine.
She is not a geek. I am hoping for a fix that will stick. Or a file that I can add to the
start up and fix it each time so she doesn't have to do anything.
Anyone with ideas?
Hoping!!!
Pete

Found the answer
Found out I need a bios upgrade.
So I am trying to do that. But It must be done with Windows. So that a problem.
I sure hope I can.

Bluetooth USB adapter?
I need to make a firmware update to a device that may only be updated via Bluetooth.
Can someone recommend a USB - Bluetooth adapter that works with LH64 602b2, please?
I'm hoping to avoid the usual hours of fighting with a Linux-unfriendly chipset.

In Firefox you should go to Edit in Menu bar and then choose Preferencies .
But to save outside spot it's better to start Firefox in terminal.
I had already changed it to "Ask where ...", but it ignores that and goes to the /spot/downloads/ default.
I will try starting from terminal.
Thanks!

There is a way around it, though. If you go to Menu>Internet> and choose the "other" option for Firefox, it will allow you start Firefox as root. There, you can save files wherever on your PC.

Re: viewing djvu in LH64-602b2
In PPM - Internet , slackware64-14.0 repo , there is a pet djvulibre-3.5.25.3 .edoc wrote:How might I go about adding this to FF or add something elsewhere in order to view djvu docs, please?

Thanks!
Usually evince opens djvu documents , but for me it worked only after I installed djvulibre... pet . It does not open all the djvu documents though ...
Thanks - located, downloaded, & opened.
Do I need to do something further as there's no sign of it under Menu nor any response in Console using "djvu" or "djvulibre".
It is merely an underlying layer which allows something like evince to work?
Is there a chance that Firefox or LibreOffice or GIMP or some other existing app can leverage the djvulibre layer to handle djvu files?
What about Djvu4?
