Slacko 700 RC3-K4.4.70 PAE

Just something to consider.

Not sure what hardware you are trying to make this Slacko version able to support.
The Linux kernel 4.19.23 or newer, is going to be needed for some of the newer computers.

Trying to run Pup on old Intel T2080 laptop. Using older kernel ff 32bit version. It loads pup files to RAM and continues booting until loading xorg. Then screen goes black and computer apparently hangs.

Is laptop too old for the kernel being using?

T2080 is an Intel CPU

and now we should guess the laptop type ?
If you expect an answer let us know what hardware you are using. ( Laptop brand and type or vendor and device ID )

Did you already visit http://slacko.eezy.xyz/notes.php ?
there are useful hints as example "If you boot to blackscreen you should ....."

I tried another Slacko64 build using the "experimental" woof-CE branch today
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/04k8b88 ... perimental

It has Palemoon 28.4.1 and Abi/Gnumeric in the adrv and kernel 4.9.170 with linux-firmware (default options) in zdrv.

I gave 'Sailor Enceladus' Slacko64 build a test ride. The last time I have checked on Slackware was way back. Way, way back. It was Slacko 5.5 .
I went for a full install on my Lenovo ThinkCentre BIOS PC, with Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E3400 @ 2.60GHz, Intel Duo Core. The installation went straight forward. As my PC runs on 2GB only I decided to use the offered swap file - sized 2GB - for just in case use.

After the reboot I downloaded libreoffice 6.2.3.2 as well as 01micko's http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 513#952513 google-earth http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... x86_64.sfs
Works very well! As I'm using a 2GB swap file it takes 4 minutes to clean up the hard drive after exiting google-earth. - Fine with me. It was fun to watch what was going on. You folks have put a lot of effort into the Slackware Puppy development!

I replaced Palemoon-28.4.1 with version 28.5.0, http://linux.palemoon.org/datastore/rel ... 64.tar.bz2

Add up:
After downloading and installing the devx file there is an error message (sfs_load: debug: Do you want to load 'devx_slacko64_6.9.9.9.sfs(filesize: 133MB)'? WARNING: Using this under 'PUPMODE=2' is EXPERIMENTAL. sfs_load: debug: EXIT=OK)

cp: cannot overwrite directory '/usr/include/freetype/freetype' with non-directory

The reason for the error is that /freetype is a symlink to /freetype2/freetype. This needs some fixing. Hmm. The devx of Slacko64-6.3.2 has the same /freetype symlink.

Greetings to all of you,
FeodorF

No word from the OP for more than 2 years. Is this project dead?

bigpup · #518 Post by **bigpup** » Tue 02 Jul 2019, 01:38

Yes.
Unless someone else wants to take it over and finish it.

Peebee's SCPup is pretty much the standard slack Pup these days.

Thanks for the feedback FeodorF. I updated this to the latest woof-CE today.

I tried another Slacko64 build using the "experimental" woof-CE branch today

It has Palemoon 28.4.1 and Abi/Gnumeric in the adrv and kernel 4.9.170 with linux-firmware (default options) in zdrv.

This time it comes with slackware Firefox 68 ESR which is compiled with --enable-alsa and seems to work for Youtube (but not a few other things like Discord Voice, using the Download Chrome button in Setup fixed that though).

I used the old kernel config from Slacko64 6.9.9.9 in case it works better for foxpup (though not sure, there's only 2 differences, maybe it really is because I compiled them on a Core2Duo) and I used the ptheme from Slacko32 6.9.9.9 as default because it contains all the desktop icons.

Observations in r7310:
- The new PupMTP and Image Viewer menu entries don't seem to work yet (missing something)
- The newer firefoxes seems to have changed from package-templates when it comes to setting the puppy homepage as default

Hello Sailor

Since I saw my name pop up here, I quickly installed your new build.
How do you still remember my little trouble from almost a year ago?!
I still have it, but not that persistent anymore.
When there is no pupsave yet, on first boot, it stops on a stand still just before X;
but just one keystroke makes it go into X.
On next boots with a pupsave, standstills are hardly noticeable.

Thanks for this new build Sailor.
I wonder if this slacko will ever come out of its standstill as RC

@Sailor Enceladus

thank you for r7322 snapshot.
Up to now without problems (as expected)

Sailor, I'm posting from your puppy_slacko64_6.9.9.9 r7586 with firefox
esr. I customized to my wants and needs, and made a personalized
remaster. The only problem so far is that I haven't yet got gnome mplayer
to run any time I click on one of my mp4, flv ... etc. videos. It's
"finicky"

I also want to get rid of the icon (or whatever it's called) at the upper right
of the screen. I'm in the habit of clicking the "x" there to close out
applications.

Nice work!

Bonjour,
Does anyone know where to find 4.4.70 32 bits kernel sources to build NVIDIA drivers sfs file using Getnvidia? (I found the 64 bits version but not the 32 bits! )
Thank you for your attention.

Cordialement

norgo · #527 Post by **norgo** » Fri 27 Mar 2020, 00:51

yes, in your post box

Hello norgo,
I was hopelessly desperate for an answer: thank you so much, it saves me!
Take care of yourself and have a good day!

Cordialement.
For those who would be interested

installed the latest Slacko64-6.9.9.9 works well. I like to use Hangout for phone calls so had to install the latest.FF-Quantum. Now I don't get youtube sound. Youtube volume is maxed out. Testing of sound on the pup setup works.

any ideas?

Thanks artsown!

It looks like 01micko added some changes/fixes recently to slacko 14.2 in woof-CE so I tried a new slacko64 build. I think opening videos is less finicky (so far) and noticed what you said as well. To get rid of the thing on the top-right (that gets in the way of the X) I changed Tray Preset in Puppy Theme Manager to minimal.

@gychang: The Firefox 68 ESR in this iso should work with sound on youtube, because the slackware version (also found in the ppm) is compiled with --enable-alsa. If you downloaded Firefox from the official mozilla page or somewhere else it will probably need to be run with apulse or after pulseaudio is installed for sound to work.
