The problem is that its pinstall script does not run when not running from "/", so in woof builds the preferences are not generated.

If you run in terminal

Code: Select all

PREFS="/usr/sbin/getflash-prefs"
echo '## getflash user preferences' >> $PREFS
echo '## AUTOUPDATECHECK: true = check for updates at startup | false = do not check for updates at startup' >> $PREFS
echo 'AUTOUPDATECHECK="true"' >> $PREFS
echo '## AUTOUPDATESILENTINSTALL: true = silent install | false = verbose install (user need to confirm installation of the plugin)' >> $PREFS
echo 'AUTOUPDATESILENTINSTALL="false"' >> $PREFS
echo '## AUTOUPDATESTARTUPDELAY: delay (in seconds) before startup (/root/Startup/getflash_auto) = to wait internet connection' >> $PREFS
echo 'AUTOUPDATESTARTUPDELAY="100"' >> $PREFS

(what pinstall would have done) you are fine

Fresh frugal install, Only one issue, jwm_config not working, generates error as shown in screenshot. After installing 'patch_jwm_config-0.3.pet, jwm_config is working correctly.

An additional issue is that on Slacko- 6.1.0.1 (& also 6.0.8.1) . updated kernel to 4.1.11. no wifi was identified and also firewall will not run. When using 6.0.7.4 with kernel 4.1.11, wifi and firewall functioned correctly. I successfully rolled back to original kernel.
Edit: the wifi is intel4965

No need to install any pet. Just turn autohide off, apply, and then on again.
It would appear that some initial default is missing up to get the physical and autohide position of the tray correctly.

BTW Mick, no delta for the 32bit?

Hi,
New frugal install of Slacko 6.1.0.1.
I normally access the internet via a 3g USB modem.
This facility is not working in the latest Slacko 6.1.0.1 (My previous Slacko - 5.7.0.- works fine).
I notice that Slacko 5.7.0. has a "wvdial" file and a "wvdial-pipe" file in /etc/ppp whereas these are missing from Slacko 6.1.0.1 - I wonder whether this has anything to do with the failure to connect?
Otherwise, can anyone suggest which files I can copy over from 5.7.0 to 6.1.0.1 in order to get the USB modem-based internet connection going again?
Thanks

Downloaded and testing RC on Dell Latitude E5500 laptop. Booted to desktop and will be testing further:

One ongoing and curious issue - I do a frugal install of puppies to a USB drive, and use Grub4Dos to create make it bootable. When I attempted first boot, it stops at "searching for puppy file" and reports it could not find the puppy SFS file, and bails out. Had the same issue with Tahrpup, and it has been reported on forum. The oddity - if I have any CD in the CD drive simultaneously (in this case Slacko 5.5), the boot to the USB will complete. Has to be something with the parameter of the puppy.SFS search, and I've tried a few things, but to little avail.

Mavrothal. Thanks for the reply.

To test I rebooted with pfix=ram to check. I then manually edited jwmrc-tray2 (and backup also) to change autohide 'top' to 'off'. Restarted WM, then went to jwm-config and still got error. I then manually edited jwmrc-tray2 twice with restart WM in between, I still get the error when attempting to use the jwm-config.

Not sure how it is supposed to work to correct on a new install.

Edit: Did 2 more reboots pfix=ram
1 - manually edited jwmrc-tray2 twice, then used jwm-config to change tray1 attributes, it worked successfully. Then attempted to change tray2, still get error.

2 - did not do any manual edit of jwmrc-tray2. Used jwm-config to change tray1, Edits were successful. Attempt to change tray2, still get error message.

I repeated my test a bit more carefully. Is not the autohide is the tray position that I was hitting (together with autohide) that fixes it.
So like you, booted with pfix=ram,
opened the tray setting from the tray button,
went to tray2
pressed the arrow positioning the tray in middle top
pressed Apply.
No error.
No error from then on in any change.
Basically the original position of the tray is not set that's why you have the warning about the tray alignment.

You can also do this from the terminal

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /root/.jwm/tmp
echo top > /root/.jwm/tmp/tray_VALIGN
echo center > /root/.jwm/tmp/tray_HALIGN

and everything is fine after that. No warnings or anything else.

BTW the warning is more annoying than harmful since no functionality is lost.

jwm_config/tray first run
I am not home, so hard for me to test, but would the following solve the problem? Line 303 in /usr/local/jwm_config/tray:

Code: Select all

	TMP="`grep -Fi '<Tray' "$HOME/.jwm/jwmrc-tray$(<$WORKDIR/tray_nr)" | grep -om1 " halign=.* " | cut -d'"' -f2`"
	[ "$TMP" ] && echo "$TMP" > $WORKDIR/tray_HALIGN || echo center > $WORKDIR/tray_HALIGN
	TMP="`grep -Fi '<Tray' "$HOME/.jwm/jwmrc-tray$(<$WORKDIR/tray_nr)" | grep -om1 " valign=.* " | cut -d'"' -f2`"
	[ "$TMP" ] && echo "$TMP" > $WORKDIR/tray_VALIGN || echo bottom > $WORKDIR/tray_VALIGN

OK, so on a new install the Horizontal and Vertical parameters of jwmrc-tray2 are not populated. As you said clicking on the Top Centre arrow corrects this issue. Tray2 can then be successfully changed using the jwm-config app.

Thanks. I need to rebuild abiword against hunspell 1.3. I have it working in 64bit.

EDIT: NOPE! Abiword is fine! I need to use the right version of enchant!!!

Slacko 6.1.0.1
Frugal on USB flash drive

Initial boot, Quick Setup Window.
Unable to select option to turn on Firewall.
Option was grayed out.

Had to start firewall by right clicking on tray firewall icon and selecting firewall setup.

After doing this and getting firewall turned on.
Quick Setup Window now shows the firewall option as checked and enabled.

Slacko 6.1.0.1
Frugal on USB flash drive

Having a second hidden tray, at the top of the desktop, is good idea.

Just wonder if a new user would know it is there

Maybe not have it hidden at first boot.
