LxPupSc-18.06M-k64 is a 32-bit woof-ce 'master' branch build with a 64-bit kernel (therefore only compatible with 64-bit capable processors)

LxPupSc-18.06M-k64.iso {devx} - (devx does not include kernel sources or headers) {kernel 4.16.13-lxpup64 sources}

iso md5 = 06eaf96e43f014bb596388d02d7cc6eb

Interim delta updates and newer kernels may be available.

Delta from 18.05T is available

- kernel 4.16.13 64-bit built with GCC-7.3.0
(alternative 32-bit kernels 3.16.x 4.4.x 4.9.x & 4.14.x also available - all need firmware in the fdrv)
- Made from Slackware-Current as of Fri Jun 1 21:28:10 UTC 2018
- BUILD_FROM_WOOF='master;b434351e;2018-05-24 23:29:04 +0800'
- web browser in adrv is light-48.0
- ffmpeg is upgraded to 4.0
- 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 - LxPupSc64 with 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 02-jun-2018 with their md5sums are:
chromium_67.0.3396.62+pepper_29.0.0.171 RUN-AS-SPOT :26b3fc0c237a49f18ca088236f2182e8
firefox-52.8.0esr :cbddbc46f88c512ae7d234400a22a023
palemoon-27.9.2 :0d73b4b1001e6a3e95a041e2c95893b3
seamonkey-2.49.3 :8b448cd64ca38e5bc774ccb772db8460
firefox-60, iron, slimjet, vivaldi and min are also available

I installed to a 16gb SDHC card:

The package manager is slow but it does work.
Tried to compile but kernel headers needed I guess so no go.

That's it so far.

Reminder - the devx is 32-bit and should only be used to compile applications...

The kernel is 64-bit so to compile drivers you need to install this kernel into a 64-bit system with a 64-bit devx.... LxPupSc64 is suggested....

Compiling works now, thanks.
I forgot to mention that my install wouldn't boot until I edited the
menu.lst file:
# menu.lst produced by grub4dosconfig-v1.9.2
color blue/cyan yellow/blue white/black cyan/black
#splashimage=/splash.xpm
timeout 10
default 10

I changed the default from 0 to 10 and it booted fine after doing that.

As I read the phoronix note, that mitigation on the Intel side also requires new microcode that isn't out yet.

I installed to a 32gb usb-3.0 flash drive:

I installed the same apps with PPM as the install on my Compaq
desktop, compiled some apps.
This pc has a nvidia graphics card, the nouveau driver did not work
well, tearing in streaming video, so I swithed to the built in intel
grapics which is working much better.

18.0.5 +5 frugal Grub4Dos install (ext2 savefile) on Fujitsu S761 i5 based laptop updated to 18.06. Video driver,resolution and FPS ok. Sound and Ath9k wifi using SNS fine. Clean dmesg, no issues noted in daily use, slimjet, geany, PCManFM, PDF viewing, printing... No optical drives on this i5 beater so no tests there.

Pursuant to http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 059#988059, I have reverted to slimjet 18.0.5.0 for now. 19.0.2.0 (and 19.0.3.0 and 19.0.4.0) have issues loading flash on some sites such as displaying loops at https://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid ... 11&loop=no Since it's so site specific I didn't see it for a while but I use that radar a lot hence my reverting. It's been discussed on the slimjet forum and I've worked with pepperflash version, library versions and libffmpeg.so without success. The vast majority of sites, youtube, etc. are ok, slimjet 18.0.5.0 is rock solid, and your newest chromium SFS for 18.06 doesn't exhibit that behavior so for me it's just wait and see. Shows up in both 32b and 64b 19.x.x.x slimjets, both yours and my home-rolled. Just a FYI.

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.

Your 4.17.6-lxpup64 kernel was run in the following pups on this i5 laptop

Code: Select all

System:    Host: puppypc395 Kernel: 4.17.6-lxpup64 x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: LXDE (Openbox 3.6.1)

Battery    CMB1: charge: 62.2 Wh 100.0% condition: 62.2/62.2 Wh (100%)
CPU:       Dual core Intel Core i5-2520M (-HT-MCP-) speed/max: 815/2501 MHz
Graphics:  Card: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller

Info:      Processes: 151 Uptime: 6 min Memory: 349.7/4789.9MB Client: Shell (bash) inxi: 2.3.40 
LxPupSc64 18.06 +1, LxPupSc 18.06 +1, LxPupBionic 18.05 +4, and upupbb 18.05 +7. All booted and run well, video FPS as good or better than the stock kernels in all, CPU idle % unchanged from stock kernels in all, idle memory use (Lxtask reported) is up from 109Mb with the 4.4.96 32b kernel in upupbb to 172Mb. Not of much consequence in the i5. Mitigation as expected

Code: Select all

meltdown	: Mitigation	: PTI
spec_store_bypass	: Vulnerable
spectre_v1	: Mitigation	: __user pointer sanitization
spectre_v2	: Mitigation	: Full generic retpoline
The spec_store_bypass waits (still) on microcode from intel for the second gen i5. This kernel supports 'late' install of the microcode so testing is simple.

I had to add intel_pstate=disable to the kernel line of the menu.lst
file to get the cpu frequency scaling tool to work properly.

Thanks.

EDIT: I added pminstaller.sh to my Slackware64 and installed the latest
version, ublock origin works again.
I went to the palemoon site and installed ublock updater first, the
heading at the top of that page has a link and instructions on how to
install a legacy version of ublock origin.
It's only been available for a few days,working fine so far.
