Adobe keeps moving the download location for FlashPlayer, so the Getflash program has to be updated to reflect the change.

See if this one works.

I am using slacko64-6.9.6.4-uefi.iso

I made a 64 bit pet package for azpainter 2.1.1
Warning. It will only work in slacko 64 bits!
---> a fast paint program that is compatible with wacom graphics tablet.

Wacom graphics tablet works in slacko64-6.9.6.4-uefi.iso
Fortunately it has the needed wacom.ko driver.

I have to make a couple of modifications
1) xorg.conf file
2) install rules

I explain more in Wacom page.

The newest blender 3d graphics program will work in
slacko64-6.9.6.4-uefi.iso because it uses opengl 2.1

Available:
https://www.blender.org/download/Blende ... 4.tar.bz2/

I'm running the latest version of Slaco64. I installed shadow from the puppy package manager because I wanted the adduser command. Everything installed fine but sore some reason some of my symbolic links from /usr/bin to /opt/java/bin disappeared. However, I don't know if this was related to installing shadow or not.

P.S. when I su to the new user I created it gives me a warning that there is no user called "scanner". How should I create said user?

Hi all.

This seems to be the latest 32 bit brew of 01micko's Slacko-700:
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... -08-19.iso
IHTH. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

It's on the general Slacko page on the Internet Archive site:
https://archive.org/details/Puppy_Linux_Slacko

Downloading now.

Hello again folks.

I came out of my session with my new Slacko-700 Pup with a headache
and mixed feelings.

For some reason, I could feel the hand of the master, 01micko's focus on
conciceness, his obsession for the correct details in exactly the right place, but
at the same time I needed to do a lot of fiddling to get what i want out of it.

It's probably just me...

I noticed a couple of weird things, though:
-- I had to pluck the executable gtk_chtheme off another Pup. Slacko-700
does not have it. Slacko 700 has the wrapper but not the exec;

-- I could't copy to the same dir. with ROX. It just doesn't work. I had to
call a console in the dir. and do

Code: Select all

cp blabla blabla.bckp

;

-- kernel 4.4 is such a slowpoke. Tomorrow I'll change to a speedier one;

-- there's no way the PPM can be made to work... (edit, Dec. 26, late
morning);

-- it hangs on reboot. I have to disconnect and reconnect the electrical
cord to get my computer back on.

If anyone knows the solution to any of the above, pls ring in below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, after a lot of fiddling, as I said, I managed to come up with a
desktop I can look at. (Pls see attached.)

These new Pups should definitely come with an extra pet or sfs of
practical fonts and good GTK themes.

Tah-dah.

Hi musher0,

I believe, starting with Slacko 6.3, everything was moved to Menu -> Desktop -> Puppy Theme Manager, and the 2nd column at the bottom in it called "Apps decoration (gtk)" and the More button to the right of it became the new home of a gtk-theme preview/selector, and it's all connected through a template called "ptheme" now which is part of woof-CE when you build an iso, which is supposed to be a new global way to handle jwm 2.3.x and rox to replace the original jwmconfig + gtkchtheme + other standalone customization apps. Not sure if I'm as much a fan of the new ptheme as the old apps either, just explaining what seems to have happened.

Hi BillToo.

Could you elaborate a little on: "this one"? Thanks.
Can't be peebee's new slacko, I think: it's still hot from the oven.

Also, I just edited my post above.

Hi

It's one that I downloaded the original iso from page 1 of this thread before it changed, then updated PPM and used the Update notices and Slackware Bugfixes from the setup menu.

The screenshot shows the 64 bit one that I did on Oct 10th.

Doing this takes a couple of hours but I find it works pretty well and then you just have to check for and apply any new updates once in a while.

Turning off all repositories except the Slackware 14.2 offial helps.

musher0 · #510 Post by **musher0** » Thu 27 Dec 2018, 02:06

Hello all.

At peebee's request, I moved the post that was originally here, there.

I agree. It will keep this thread more on topic.

It boots fine, will test more later.

Why not a thread of it's own instead of destroying the Slacko-700 rc3
thread?

musher0 · #512 Post by **musher0** » Thu 27 Dec 2018, 07:21

Still grumbling

, this grouch solved slacko-700's time synchronization problem,
using htpdate.

One down, so many to go!

musher0 · #514 Post by **musher0** » Fri 28 Dec 2018, 06:10

Hello all.

This now happy grouch

solved slacko-700's sluggishness and ROX-Filer
responsiveness issues that I have reported earlier by changing the ex-
factory 4.4 kernel with a kernel 3.16 specially designed for the slackoPup.
Yey!

I also tested kernel-4.1.11, but to no avail. It presented me a black screen
just before loading X.

Anyone with a ~ 10 year-old computer can do the same, i.e. replace the
ex-factory kernel with kernel-3.16. The increase in speed and
performance is staggering. It's easy to do as well. If you need help
with this operation, pls leave a note below or send me a PM?

Tah-dah.

Hi musher0 - you are very generous, warmhearted and goodlooking - and it's christmas - so what are the chances of you making available an iso including the fast kernel already installed (please)?

I haven't got to grips with kernel surgery yet so if you could possibly offer a ready-made solution that would be fantastic.
