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

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.

no sound, Firefox Quantum 68.7.0esr, 64bit

#529 Post by gychang »

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?

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!

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.

@Sailor Enceladus
didn't hear of you for a long time
welcome back :-)

you are right, most versions of sm and ff are compiled without alsa support.
Apulse is already included in latest Slacko builds.

@gychang
try to launch ff in a terminal by typing apulse firefox

@Sailor
Your r8060 looks good!

CNN news videos often suffer lack of sound/video sync when apulse firefox
is used, but your compilation clears up that problem.

To help avoid confusion, I copy the url for r8060 here:

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/04k8b8812ccoh/x86_64

No problems found so far.

Edit: xfreecell didn't open so I tried the games under Fun and they either
didn't open or just partially worked. Seems some other apps in the menu
are also not working

R8060 running well

#533 Post by davids45 »

G'day Sailor Enceladus,

Thank you for this very good 64Slacko Pup.

Having no problem with this Pup as-supplied, I tried one of ozsouth's newer kernels (5.3.15) and was surprised to see the difference in size for the zdrv - new kernel's much smaller than the old, 29MB vs 105MB.

I was even more surprised that it's running smoothly so far :D . I did need to add two firmware files for my wifi adapter which luckily seem not kernel-specific.

Thanks again,

David S.

Thanks for a currrent woof-ce Puppy.

2 issues:

1. I can't find any utility to setup multiple monitors, (yes I have 2).

2. Geany had difficulty in even displaying a simple text file until I un-ticked "Show Message Window" and "Show Sidebar" in the "View" menu.

Yes, it's there.
I ran it from a terminal and my 2 monitors are no longer duplicates.
Except that I still can't find it in the menu, even though '/usr/share/applications/lxrandr.desktop' exists.

FYI,

My desktop looked more "normal", when I used a fresh savefolder for this new version, rather than the savefolder from the previous version .

Slacko 6.3.2 Dpup Stretch conflict

#542 Post by cretsiah »

wasnt sure whether to post issue here or just point you to my thread

so decided to add link

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=118922

it covers some issues incounted and a potential fix (at least for DPup).

issues such as

vmalloc, kthread, nosemaphore

and to get DPup stretch working screws up Slacko 6.3.2 (after having no issues with Slacko 6.3.2

a sort of frugal install

files in folder are:

- help folder
- vesamenu.c32
- vmlinuz
- initrd.gz
- puppy_slacko_6.3.2.sfs
- zdrv_slacko_6.3.2.sfs

incase its important Grub from 2.14R or 2.14X was used in MBR mode on EXT3

Just playing around with an old OS. I noticed you have no options when in preferences-advanced-data choices..... usually you can check boxes to prevent firefox from collecting data. Not so on this OS. Does anyone know why? Anyways, my guess is that firefox does collects data even when you tell them not to collect your data? Any thoughts? Thank you.

What specific version of Firefox?

If you are talking about the Firefox ESR version.
Being an ESR version.
They already have all the info they need.
ESR versions are suppose to be well tested and stable.
Plus most people using ESR versions are businesses and major companies.
Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) is an official version of Firefox developed for large organizations like universities and businesses that need to set up and maintain Firefox on a large scale. Firefox ESR does not come with the latest features but it has the latest security and stability fixes
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:
