Ok, so it failed (miserably :o ). Delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf. Restart X. You should then be back at Square 1.

Next you can try flSynclient-0,7 in PPM. You will get 2 menu entries. I'll need to fix that.

Sorted,thanks Mick!Followed your instructions and it now works a treat even after two reboots. :D

telltom,

I posted a patch here yesterday.

When you post a bug about Slacko it might be better to post in this thread for 2 reasons.

1) it may help others with the same problem who didn't see your post.

2) if I did not see your post at the time I did (not long after you posted) it may have got accidentally ignored :o

Hope the solution resolves your issue.

I'm working on trying to build Gnome3 for Slacko and Im running into an error after getting everything compiled.

Code: Select all

Clutter-CRITIAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: XServer appears to lack the required GLX support
Window manager error: Unable to initialize Clutter.
any ideas, tried google searching but that doesnt give me any meaningful results. Im not sure exactly what all you tweaked with xserver to get it to run... any ideas of a way around this problem?

strace output attached.

What graphics driver are you using? If you use one of the proprietary ones (ati/nvidia) install mesa first. Well I guess you must have because you would have needed the mesa headers :?

By the way, the xserver is stock slackware, with some very minor changes to get synaptics working (the driver only).

In other news iguleder's trinity works in the ALT (xz compression) version of Slacko. I'll repackage a gz compressed version for the MAIN distro.

In other news... Trinity is awesome!

Im working on an Nvidia system. I'll hop over to a intel system and see if I can reproduce the results. Do you know offhand the intel driver version you put with slacko? I might go ahead and compile the latest while im at it.

Well it works for movie DVD's. For audio disc's looks like you need to use a specialty program. Pburn, audio ripper, etc.....

Audio and movie disc's are in their own special world of software support.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

bigpup and Brown Mouse,

I'll clear something up at this point.

An audio CD can't be mounted as it has NO filesystem per sé. This is why Pmount will not mount one.

The default run action in Slacko for an audio cd in order is, defaultcdplayer, and if that doesn't exist defaultmediaplayer. In Slacko's case the default CD player is pmusic -c . You can change this by editing /usr/local/bin/defaultcdplayer to point to any CD capable media player or delete it and it will point to gnome-mplayer (which in my opinion is not the best for CDs). Xine is not bad (in PPM).

It does work as I am playing a CD right now on my old laptop.

Hi Mick,

Fresh manual frugal installation on an ext4 partition using a 4fs save file created with shinobar's pupsaveconfig. All my normal extra software works properly, however there is a minor problem. Shutdown does not work, although Ctrl>Alt>Backspace will perform the reboot or other operation that was selected using the Shutdown menu.

This may be a problem with just my hardware, but it appears to be a problem using shinobar's 4fs save file. I tried a new savefile with same apps except for pupsaveconfig and upon shutdown selected a 3fs save file. It now responds properly to Shutdown selections.

Regards,
Jim

Not a bug, just Chromium 17 for Slacko

ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet ... slacko.pet

Chromium is the Open Source developmental basis of Google Chrome and Srware Iron. Chromium runs 2 or 3 versions ahead of those other two.

I installed Opera from Slickpet. I don't like it, but I can't see any way to UNinstall it. How do I do that??

open PPM and click the uninstall button. A list of user installed programs will show. Then select opera from the list.

Right click option available for Slacko and Racy.

#288 Post by don570 »

I've made Right-click compatible to Slacko so the
options should all work. I recommend that
gkhash be installed first.!!

Hi,

I built a working system of slacko 5.3 on a usb stick and I am trying to get it working properly on my lenovo T61 hard drive.

It partially works there, but dmesg shows many errors :-

[ 457.443552] aufs au_lkup_dentry:273:rdev[21002]: I/O Error, both of real entry and whiteout found, sequencer, err -5

Alsa mixer doesn't work and probably other programs as well.

This is the first pup where I have not been able to first build on a usb stick and transfer to a partition on my HDD.

Regards Tony.

Try adding "pfix=fsck" on your kernel line see if that fixes it. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work except some filesystem corruption.
