It does if you select and apply the "Buntoo" with the pTheme applet.
If you latter setup the tray and place it on the top works fine.
Re-apply the theme and is gone.

I was thinking of issue 202 and thought that is getting there, but then was removed from the 2.3.3 milestone. Maybe 2.3.4...

BTW when first applied the POP theme is missing the correct right alignment of the icons. fixPuppyPin and X restart, mends that.

Funnily enough I couldn't reproduce that :?

But it did expose another bug. If we set a theme in woof then its wallpaper becomes default.${ext}. That's bad when the theme is looking for "my_set_wall.${ext}" from the theme profile. :shock:

Another thought for trays of course is rox-panels which could support some sort of transparency with a gtk theme hack. But that is for a future exploration, assuming rox still works then!

Perhaps some of the pthemes, if there is a drastic alteration of the pinboard, should restart X.

Kernel 4.2.5 is uploaded. It uses stemsee's config (same as in peebee's new 'current' LXpup).

It's in the ibiblio repo <-- http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/huge_kernels/

Kernel sources are at pet_packages-slacko6414.1 in the repo.

If you've done a frugal just download and extract it and run

Code: Select all

I changed kernels on my HP desktop install.
It's working okay so far.

Thanks

fw_drv missing in 6101 releases

#47 Post by gcmartin »

Tests 6101 both 32 & 64 bit. Same problems on AIO.
Now, touch ability is completely missing. And DVD Live boot does not pick up either the AIO's ethernet adapters (wired/wireless), merely "lo" on the AIO.

Further, I see that the fw_drv is missing with the current ISOs.

On the AMD desktop its motherboard wired adapter is found. Pristine to desktop shows: 32bit

Code: Select all

# uname -a

1.Did a 2nd manual frugal install to a usb-3.0 SSD on Gateway desktop.
2.Switched to kernel 4.2.5
3.Installed proprietary Nvidia driver.
4.Installed the usual apps with PPM + pets.

sh-4.2# uname -ra

sh-4.2#


It's working well, no problems so far.

gc - Try your new machine with the new kernel.

Steps to make an iso.

Code: Select all

# download
wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/huge_kernels/huge-4.2.5-slacko64.tar.bz2
md5sum huge_kernels/huge-4.2.5-slacko64.tar.bz2
# extract
tar xvf huge_kernels/huge-4.2.5-slacko64.tar.bz2
# rename and move
mkdir newiso
mv vmlinuz* newiso/vmlinuz
mv kernel*  newiso/zdrv_slacko64_6.1.0.1.sfs
# mount the iso
mkdir isomount
mount -t iso9660 /path/to/slacko64-6.1.0.1.iso  ./isomount -o ro
#get the id string
ID=$(tail -c32 isomount/vmlinuz)
# tack it onto the new files
echo -n $ID >> newiso/vmlinuz
echo -n $ID >> newiso/zdrv_slacko64_6.1.0.1.sfs
# copy old iso files to new
for i in $(ls isomount|egrep -v 'vmlinuz|zdrv');do cp -a  isomount/$i newiso/;done
# unmount
umount isomount
# make CD iso image
 mkisofs -D -R -o slacko64_6.1.0.1.new.iso  -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table ./newiso/
EDIT:

were a couple of bugs above but fixed now as I actually did the process.

Delta is uploading for newer kernel (it is the same config that you report success for in peebee's thread).

I used the delta to make the new iso and did a manual frugal install with that.
Tried it on my acer laptop with touchscreen but it didn't work, touching the screen would show a mouse pointer about 1 inch to the right and lower about the same.

I never did create a save file if that matters.

in Xorg.conf set the following

Code: Select all

    Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"
This 'fixes' touch but breaks other stuff though, maybe even your keyboard!

Touch is a big mess becuase of Xorgwizard. It won't be fixed properly anytime soon unfortunately.

Any kernel should work the same anyway for most touch stuff.

No thanks, I can live without touch.

@Billtoo
I did use that technique on 1st Slacko64. I didn't have any reported problems then. That does not mean that the current distro is problem-free when that edit is used.

I am not sure if the same setting is used in @TaZoC's Lighthouse or in Dry Falls Just-Lighthouse, but I have not have problems there, over the years of use.

@01Micko,
  • What would you advise for those of us who will be getting/using touch PCs as we go forward?
  • Or should there be have a thread for using and reporting any issues when running a touch version of Slacko64?
Willing to do whatever you feel is right to assist.

@gc

for touch just do the xorg hack until further notice.

Please test that delta.. you complained, you got. Plus I reckon the kernel is your issue, since it worked in peebee's distro.

2015 and terminal frustration?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ho ... ot_working
And really annoying default jwm keybindings:
Alt+Left/Right are used for back/forward navigation across nearly all browsers - its really annoying to switch desktops instead.

Am I the only one that uses a keyboard regularly?

Then there are the typical problems with my laptop.
* No right clickability on builtin touchpad (using flsynclient 2/3 finger click workaround + external mouse now)
* Intel sound always tries to use device 0 (hdmi?) instead of the actual audio, but I'll deal with that one whenever I download chrome/chromium so I can watch netflix - I don't need sound to code.
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

My findings after following kernel instructions. This is a pristine DVD boot results from the ISO built via instructions:

And, the xerrs.log is attached. The GPT messages I understand, but the iptables???

No relief, yet.

BTW: On the ability to "see" all of my USBs, I added 8, and this kernel-version sees all on the AIO desktop.

A delta is up from 6.1.0.1 >> 6.1.3.1 to upgrade your iso image. Use the Xdelta prog in the menu.

6.1.3.1 - What an awesome distro :D

Some first-run-notes:
- I activated the firewall (default options) via the connectwizard BERFORE I set up an internet connection, and it stopped all traffic. There should probably be a msg or similar to avoid this.
- The icon for the Figaros password manager is out of size.
- Will there be available a catalyst driver for Radeon HD 6550D (get correct resolution - now using vesa)?

One finger tapping does not appear to be persistent between reboots on the mouse pad.
