The SFS manager in Slacko 5.7.0 lists the source code as an .sfs twice, but in both cases the result is "404, file not found" and "link broken".

Thank you.

I found this:

It's a bug.
Fixed here

Slacko 5.7 contains the pretty outdated version 0.0.8 of xclip in /usr/X11R7/bin. The problem with this version: UTF-8 selection strings are not properly supportet. This bug is fixed in never versions. I tested version 0.12 which I downloaded from http://slackware.org.uk/slacky/slackwar ... clip/0.12/

Works fine now. Any chance to include a new version of xclip in Slacko 5.7?

Has anyone had a problem compiling kernel modules using a full install of slacko-5.7.0?

I have added the sfs-mgr-patch-2.pet to the SFS Manager. The “kernel_sources-3.10.32-slacko_PAE.sfs

Thanks Mavrothal, for your attention to this problem.

I did a frugal/pupmode 13 installation of Slacko 5.7.0 to a USB stick (the full install described earlier was to HHD).

I then used SFS Manager to download and install kernel_sources-3.10.32-slacko_PAE.sfs, checking the same numbers as before: in the process, /usr/src grew from 57k (pre-install) to 482 M (post-install), in the ball park with what you described, so the problem would seem to be limited to full install/pupmode 2.

Although the modules I compiled appear to be working properly, perhaps it would be prudent to avoid using SFS Manager with a full install.

Hi. How can I set the time-view in the 24 hours format on the bottom/right of the desktop ? (19:35 and NOT 7:35 pm). Thankyou

I'm sorry!
I didn't search very well. I've found the answer here:

Yes, it solved both problems completely:

Any non-office version availible with FreeOffice link to register?

I did the following...
DL the iso then Burnt to CD (161Mb)
Register and DL FO-690.tgz
Used ISO Master to add the tgz to the iso files (222Mb)
Burnt to CD ---> Slack57XLpuppy.iso

Both Slacko_5.7 and Slack57XL as spares when I have real time to investigate.
However I did ShutDown and Run the Slacko 5.7.
Opines/observations

FF17ESR a good choice, FF23 here is also OK (From Slacko 5.5XL)
NEEDS: AdBlock Edge, Redirect Cleaner, Better privacy pre-installed
OMG: Google as search engine, may I suggest DuckDuckGo.

mtpaint 3.44.48 OK

Good job on back-off on OverWrite my 5.5XL sfs. pfix --> RAM

The rest would be personal choices not improvements. So Great job, booted and ran w/o issue(s) on an EEE900a.

Cheers,

Thorium

Hi.
I used USB slacko 5.6 till a week ago. Everything worked with ‘autorun Time Sync’ (I want a time synchronization at each boot).
I connect to web by Ethernet cable (eth0). Wireless is not configurated.
Now I installed USB Slacko 5.7 and I have problems with Time Sync at each boot.
I set autorun in Psync (and correctly “timesync.sh

Hi . I’ve found a workaround to fix the problem, depending by the fact that I didn’t define a wireless profile.
It consists in modifying “timesync.sh

Has anyone had success in running Sweet Home 3D 4.4 in Slacko 5.7?
It loads ok but the walls keep disappearing after they are drawn.

Using studio1337 V2 (slacko 5.7 based) I can't successfully resize savefile. i don't know if anyone else has reported this bug! I will take a look at the script and see if I can pin point the error ... sometime ... before I leave this world ... hopefully

It worked fine in 5.7 when I increased the savefile yesterday by 512k.

"512k" - I never noticed a 512 kilobyte enlargement option when resizing a savefile! I was sure 32MB was the minimum resize function - but hey I am a noob not a veteran - You surely have your reasons for such customisations!

Maybe you could share your resize script so I too can make 512kb resizes!

01micko said something about having changed the init. So maybe this isn't a Slacko issue at all..

Stemsee you are quite right it was 512M not 512k and I never changed the resize script.

I have the same resizie failure, tried on usb, sata, ssd drives, and usbstick,
tried with various sizes. The process seems to be skipped/ignored.
It's very important to have control over sizing the room to work!

I can't find a problem in resizpfile.sh in standard slacko-5.7.

You should end up with a file in the home partition with these contents.

Code: Select all

KILOBIG=131072
PUPSAVEFILEX=/0test/slackosave-mar15.4fs

If that isn't there with sane values then something has gone wrong in studio 1337 with either /etc/DISTRO_SPECS or /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE.

This little venture did expose a bug @line 52. The calculation is way off.

A suggestion to replace that line is:

Code: Select all

ACTUALSIZK=`ls -l --block-size=K $HOMELOCATION|awk '{print $5}'|tr -d 'K'`

..although stat -c %s works just as well.

It's very important to have control over sizing the room to work!

Don't use save files, store data outside the Puppy file system and use symbolic links to these stored directories and/or files.

Will increase your room to work extensively.
