15-jan-2016: LxPanel has replaced LxPanelX (sadly) so may behave differently

Woof-CE build notes:

LxPup cannot be built directly from woof-ce because the config files are not in woof-distro - they are in the LxPupSc repo and are manually copied into woof-distro before merge2out is run....

There are other config files which are not in woof-ce at all (_00build.conf and /support/rootfs-packages.conf) which have to be copied before 3builddistro-Z is run....

Once the config files are all correct, woof-ce 3builddistro-Z runs without any changes although there is LxPup specific configuration code in _00build.conf EXTRA_COMMANDS="

This includes code that copies 3 .sfs (adrv, fdrv, ydrv) and a README into /sandbox3/build from /sandbox3 so that the iso includes these files....
Also includes code to replace the DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS and DISTRO_PET_REPOS used for building with more restricted "user" versions.

It is - Sourceforge shows the md5 - click the small i symbol

Used this distro on the Intel-based all-in-one touch desktop PC. No issues to report from a pristine boot via DVD.

NETWORK is stable; desktop is stable; system responds rapidly; RAM use is typically for PAE PUPs of this calibre.
Code:
# uname -a
Linux LxPup32-AIOtouch 4.2.5-EmSee-32-pae #1 SMP Mon Nov 2 10:21:44 GMT 2015 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G2020 @ 2.90GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
# samba -V
Version 4.1.20
# free
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:        4009196      338296     2977020      336100      693880     3291224
Swap:       8397820           0     8397820

Only request for this PC's use is an OOTB touch ability similar to Lighthouse64/Just-Ligthhouse/FATDOG7. (I know Mick and others are reviewing an implementation. Maybe you might know its status.)

System is very responsive. SAMBA resource sharing is very quick, as seen by LAN PCs!

Any specifics, please request.

LiveCD test of LxPupSc-15.11.00-pae.iso, md5 verified as correct
Dell Dimension 8300
3GB ram, Pentium 4 2.8 GHz
Nvidia Geforce FX 5200
wired ethernet

Code:
# uname -a
Linux puppypc23263 4.2.5-EmSee-32-pae #1 SMP Mon Nov 2 10:21:44 GMT 2015 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

# free
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:        3101252      100520     2592212      245776      408520     2718992
Swap:       3143676           0     3143676


Booted up from LiveCD to desktop with no problems. Response seems generally similar to LXLE which I have had installed on this machine for about a year now. LxPupSc is perhaps a bit faster.

Firefox ran OK, Youtube videos ran OK -- I did not install Flash.
Other apps given cursory test that ran OK:
Pmusic, Leafpad, Gpicview, Geany, Abiword, mtPaint

Could not get Mplayer to work on either MP3 or MP4 files:

Code:
# ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep found
    libcdio_cdda.so.1 => not found
    libcdio_paranoia.so.1 => not found
    libopenal.so.1 => not found


and there was this from /var/log/messages:

Code:
Nov  5 11:17:28 puppypc5791 user.info kernel: gnome-mplayer[29382]: segfault at b ip b6b80502 sp bfa05180 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.4600.1[b6b1a000+13f000]

@6502coder Many thanks for the test and report. Also @gcmartin

Looks like mplayer is the next candidate for a rebuild under slackocurrent.....see next post

Cheers
