The tray clock.
Best I can find is it is a 24 hr clock setting only.
I guess you will need to install a different clock program.

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:

1. Updated to Slacko-5.3 from Slacko-5.2.97-k2.6.37.6-smp
The update went smoothly, the new Slacko is looking good and working well, except...

2. Psip32 version 1.2 freezes if/when I attempt to configure it for use.
I'm using 8-year-old desktop hardware [ASUS A7A266 mobo].

Encrypted Savefile

#41 Post by loubapache »

Frugal install on EXT4 partition or booting directly from CD.

1) Slacko 5.3.0 boots fine either way.
2) Make small changes to hostname etc and shutdown.
3) Create an encrypted (heavily) save file (EXT2) on EXT4 partition.

The subsequent booting will show "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"

If the savefile is normal (not encrypted), then the subsequent booting is fine.

First saw this in RC1, then again in RC2, now in the final release.

The subsequent booting will show "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"
In that case i would boot "puppy pfix=rdsh"
[ newer puppies have several rdsh levels -> F2 & F3 @boot ]

-> this would drop you into the ram-disk-shell .

There you could try to read the files in /tmp using "e3 /tmp/bootinit.log" for example .
In frugal installations that booted ok these tmp files get copied/moved to /initrd/tmp .

I have not had time to explore slacko , though ; but follow the development with interest . 8)

I am guessing it is not a slacko problem , but woof/initrd , but the kernel may not have some drivers like aes_generic cbc cryptoloop correctly enabled or they may be missing inside the initrd.gz .

You are most welcome Sir,

What troubles me more is why did it happen?

I will investigate.

Thank you.

I guess it would be #1 if everyone bothered to download from Distrowatch.

Thanks for this great new Puppy.

I'm experiencing some problems with this particular build :(

These are the specs of the pc:

Compaq Presario F700 Notebook PC

CPU - AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 (1900 Mhz)
RAM - 2gb DIMM DDR2 667 MHz
GFX - nVidia GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M
SFX - nVidia MCP67 High Definition Audio
LAN - nVidia MCP67 Ethernet 10/100
Wifi - Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter

I have successfully managed to run the ISO, then install it onto a USB Flash drive, however when I made a 'save file' it fails to restart. I am choosing ext2 - heavy encryption for the save file.
