Anyone know if icewm can be made to work in Slacko?I've experimented with several .pets without success so far.
Thanks for this great new Puppy.

I'm experiencing some problems with this particular build Sad

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.

Hello,

First - thanks for Slacko, great work.

I have succesfully run Slacko on the following ATOM hardware:

ASUS AT5NM Mini-ITX with Intel ATOM D525 onboard
1 GB DDR3 RAM
Sony AD-7280S Sata DVDR

Everything works great until an encrypted SaveFile is created.

This issue, as depicted by chrome307's picture, occurs with an encrypted save file.

Non-encrypted / normal save is okay as is Save to drive (Save to sda1 in my case)

This issue is repeatable using several different USB Flash Memory sticks formatted with EXT2, FAT16 and FAT32

Looks like something is missing with regards to the encrypted save.

First not so much a bug, more an observation that may help others.

Long term linux user, finally jumped on the puppy bandwagon a few weeks ago with lucid 528 and have been incredibly impressed with how fast and useful it is on my netbook (Acer Aspire D257).

I was excited to try out Slacko with a manual frugal install. Unfortunately I'm essentially unable to really use it with the netbook touchpad because most settings entered into flSynclient seem to have no effect. In particular, Max speed and Acceleration, which would allow me to get a useful pointer speed, simply have no effect. The touchpad still requires me to swipe my finger 20 times just to move the pointer across the screen. flSynclient worked perfectly in 528.

Saving the settings, restarting the X server, rebooting with savefile, all have no effect.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour or know of a fix?

From what I/ve seen so far, Slacko looks very impressive. Thanks 01micko, Barry, and all the other contributers.

Welcome to puppy Smile

You will notice after you run flsynclient there is a Xdialog which pops up asking if your touchpad settings are ok. if you answered "yes" then run flsynclient again and answer "no". restart X. I have the issue with the main version on my r51 Thinkpad and this resolves the issue.

Several users report problems with encrypted save files. This is priority one to fix. Anyone with any knowledge of encryption?

EDIT: this bug seems to be a woof bug, reported by mavrothal in Racy puppy, so I'm sure Barry will help solve this one.

I can confirm a bug in PPM that lists too many dependencies from the Slacky repo in particular. The file it reads seems fine. Investigating.

Thanks for all reports.
