A few of the images in puppy aren't supported by stb_image, but overall jwm is much lighter. I decided to try adding nanosvg in place of cairo+rsvg and it is drastically lighter weight.

All of my future work on jwm-tools will use images designed to work with these (it will still work with the full libs of course) So if you are interested in a lighter weight wm, test it out (I already know about the transmission and FPM2 icons) and report any issues

The changes are here:

So far so good :D
Both fresh installs and updates from 6.0.x worked without issues.

Thanks for tests guys.

I just woofed up a test version to see if getflash is fixed on the iso. Works.

See the main post for a delta file at the ibiblio link.

Suggestion: boot it live to see the theme :wink:

Other themes tested working are osX, winXP, PoP (plain old puppy) as well as the builtin stardust themes. Take a browse in ibiblio.org/pet_packages-noarch and look for ptheme_(some-theme-name).pet

An ubuntu theme in slackware ? :shock: What are you thinking ?... :P

Actually the theme hides the top tray and some widgets become wider and now show a horizontal scrollbar (pTheme for example). Also the black background colour of the tray and the dark icon theme makes them hard to see.
BTW is tray background transparency implemented in jwm yet ??

Top tray doesn't hide here. :? . Yes something is up with the gtk theme there I think. Blue Moon icons look OK with the darker background.

Transparency is only supported in JWM with a composite manager such as xcompmgr, kcompmgr or compton. All of which fade the icons with the background in JWM.

I believe it is somewhat of a challenge to get transparent trays in jwm because of the way thay are layered in the context of Xlib. Bear in mind jwm doesn't depend on a hell of a lot so not so many libraries are available as the bigger wm/de's.

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

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

gc - Try your new machine with the new kernel.

Steps to make an iso.

Code: Select all

# download

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.
