LxPupSc-17.12T-k64

#862 Post by peebee »

LxPupSc-17.12T-k64 is a 32-bit woof-ce 'testing' branch build with a 64-bit kernel (therefore only compatible with 64-bit capable processors)

LxPupSc-17.12T-k64.iso {devx} - (devx does not include kernel sources or headers) {kernel 4.14.3-lxpup64 sources}
iso md5 = a93aa8c3153c84ed5683240306bd489b

Delta from 17.11.1T is available

- kernel 4.14.3 64-bit (alternative 32-bit kernels 3.16.x 4.4.x & 4.9.x also available - all need firmware in the fdrv)
- Made from Slackware-Current as of Wed Nov 29 21:48:33 UTC 2017
- BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;8eb5a915;2017-11-30 20:32:19 +0100'
- web browser in adrv is light-48.0
- firmware is in fdrv
- alternative fall-back xorg is in ydrv (no need to install unless needed)

**N.B. the 64-bit kernel means that any kernel drivers have to be built in a true 64-bit system - slacko64 with the LxPupSc kernel and it's own devx is suggested but use the kernel sources above

Woof-CE build repository is: http://smokey01.com/peebee/slackocurrent/

Chromium, Firefox, Palemoon and Seamonkey are in the repository and installable via Internet -> Get Web Browser

The versions of the browsers as of 28-nov-2017 with their md5sums are:

12T through 12+5T all installed from deltas and run without problems on the machines in my post here. The comments in that post pretty much apply throughout. I did load my wine-1.9.22_v2.1. sfs, created from version2013s pet for Tahr with a couple of financial programs I use once a year rolled in, and it came up and did what I needed. Yea, not the latest version, but it quietly did what I asked (offline of course). I have a new i5 Fujitsu S761 laptop with a De layout keyboard so I got to play with the advanced options in the built in keyboard setup and they worked exactly as expected. Switched the y and z keycaps and set it up as De QWERTY and used a script in startup to remap the Caps Lock key to the alt gr key. Someday I really need to update the LxPupSc on the S761 at the farm. I've forgotten what version it is and when I ask how it is Mary just burbles happily so...

Cheers,
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

LxPupSc-18.01T-k64

#873 Post by Marv »

Updated 17.12 +8T to 18.01T on the i5 based Fujitsu S761 laptop (I'm up to 4 of them now). Used the delta, md5sums ok, uneventful boot, quickcheck of systems, SFS browser, video, etc. seem fine, CPU at idle 0 to 1%. en keyboard on this one & I've been using the lxde volume control instead of retrovol in the tray for a bit. It calls alsamixer and does what I need. Brightness and volume keys both working OOTB on these laptops, up arrow function is normal and PrtSc calls screenshot as it should. Obviously I'm in red and orange mode at the moment :wink: I'll check a pristine later today.

Interim delta +1 to LxPupSc-18.01+1T-32pae.iso

- kernel 4.14.12 32-bit pae

- Slackware Current Wed Jan 3 05:45:43 UTC 2018 including dhcpcd-7.0.0

This interim delta sees a return to a 32-bit pae kernel....

The reason: my desktop pc kernel panics on boot with the 64-bit build of 4.14.11 (but my laptop doesn't!) - one of the changes from 4.14.10 to 4.14.11 must be responsible.....

The original reason to move to the 64-bit kernel was a system crash on some laptops when a dvd was inserted - this problem seems to have "gone away" with this new 32-bit build (@Marv and anybody else - grateful for your testing).

Just for a bit of extra spice :twisted: , the kernel config for the new 32-bit-pae kernel is based on BK's pyro32-0.6.1 32-bit build so testing reports are welcomed. It's also compiled with gcc-7 and is a bit smaller than previous kernels.

Slackware Current updates include:
:dhcpcd:
:e2fsprogs:
:nano:

Firefox-57.0.4 "This release contains security fixes and improvements, in particular a mitigation for a speculative execution side-channel attack ("Spectre")." is also available.

18.01 updated to 18.01 1T on my i5 based S761 laptop using the delta. md5sums all ok. Kaiser patches toggled and firstresults reported in the 'Slowdown' thread. Certainly OK on the i5. Kernel config has intel_pstate governor disabled which is good, schedutil governor not enabled, personally I like it but have found monitoring temps on the i5s I can pretty much just run performance when plugged in anyway. Sound, connection, video, suspend, all seem ok with one change wrt CD autoplay noted (checked because of the kernel change). Autoplay ie. starting the media handler automatically on disc insertion is no longer working. Swapping kernels.. It's not that. On a closer look the change I see occurred between 17.12.8 and 18.01 (I didn't run 17.12.9) and seems like a puppy eventmanager change. See the screenshots below. I haven't done much beyond a swap of /usr/sbin/eventmanager and that brings back the tickbox but not the function for me. A front_end change? Try autoplaying and see if it's just me. Only matters for my 'users' :) I'm housebreaking the newest S761 rescue and will continue to use 1T there and on my main laptop.

Cheers,

edited once to add governor information. And again to note that swapping the 4.14.11 32b kernel into LxPupSc 17.12.+8T the autoplay function works correctly in that 17.12 +8T as it did with the stock 4.14.9 64b kernel.

Thanks @Marv - 18.01 did have a new woof-ce base and there have been changes to /usr/local/pup_event/pup_event_frontend_d ....

Might be worth trying the 17.12 version? (later - done - see next post)

Yes - this ydrv (false .gz) reverts /usr/local/pup_event

and when the "Auto-launch" option is selected

auto-play functionality is restored

I've put a comment onto Github....

@peebee can I get your 4.14.11 32-bit kernel source code?

P.S: Can you take a look on slitaz? It uses lxde too. But the pcmanfm can detect mounted disk images. It has search file function. Also can browse and access ftp and smb (if im not wrong).

Can you figure how to make this pcmanfm functions work on lxpupsc?

Hi @mistfire

4.14.12 is already available....if you mean by "source code" the .config then this is in the .iso/zdrv in /etc/modules....

Unless I'm misunderstanding, all the pcmanfm functions you mention are active in LxPupSc....I use them all the time particularly sftp and smb!!!???
