Slacko Puppy 5.3.1

[SilvioTOO]

Same problem here...

Slacko 5.3 main

Still having this problem.

Frugal install to USB flash drive
Save option - save to partition sdb1(the flash drive)

menu->shutdown->reboot or poweroff

Goes to saving session to sdb1 message

Then back to desktop.

Does not poweroff computer or reboot.

If you make a save file to flash drive. no problems.

This only happens if you use save option save to sdb1 (the flash drive)

@Sylvander: Please try this package.

guvcview_slack_DEP-1.5.0.pet

It contains all the dependencies for guvcview required by Slacko.

Hi 01micko

Just got around to testing Slacko on my Acer Aspire One netbook and
I'm also encountering problems with 'flsynclient' and touchpad settings.
I've managed to get the tapping working fine but the problem I'm seeing is with the 'Touch Sensitivity' slider.If I move it up and down,I can eventually get the right speeds.I then save the settings and quit.If I check the settings out in .flsynclient all seems to be correct there too until I reboot,at which point I lose all control over the cursor,the'Touch Sensitivity' slider is back at '0'and I have to set it all up again.
Any help appreciated?

@rcrsn51 - Installed:

guvcview-1.5.0-s.pet

and

guvcview_slack-DEP-1.5.0.pet

Video working perfectly for my Slacko 5.3; haven't tried audio yet. Thanks for the pets!

[rcrsn51]

haven't tried audio yet.

Audio works for me, once I get my Mic turned on.

1. Run alsamixer
2. Press Tab to select Capture.
3. Cursor right to find the Capture device (Mic doesn't work for me)
4. Cursor up to increase the volume.
5. Press Esc.
6. Test with "arecord > test.wav"

I guess great minds think alike; I just finished adjusting mike levels in retrovol to get Skype working. I completed a test call in Skype and was able to hear my own recorded voice. Video working, audio working; life is good!

Perhaps some of the Opera-lovers can test this.

I have set up Slacko 5.3
Configured my Epson Stylus Color 1520 (ESC/P2) + CUPS/gutenprint
Installed Opera 11.52 from the .deb from the Opera website.

I can confirm that the three printing bugs are still the same as in lupu 5.25, but I understand them better now!

1 The print options menu item is missing so it is necessary to use opera:config printer to do the following.
- uncheck Fit to page width
- set the margins to something sensible for the printer
- set the scale factor

2 Set View Zoom to 100% before trying to print, or the print area will be wrong. (Applies to Windows too)

3 Printing particular pages doesn't work.

If I try printing page 1 of a web page that is 3 pages in print preview, this is what happens:

(in the print dialogue I set the job status to "Hold" to avoid wasting too much paper)

Three jobs appear in CUPS. In /var/spool/cups there are 3 pdfs each containing all three pages.

If I release the first job, it does actually print all three pages.

I haven't thought of a simple workaround for this yet. Any ideas?

[rcrsn51]

Any ideas?

Use Firefox.

I know that Firefox is losing popularity, but IMHO, its printing capability has always been superior to Opera.

I have a question about OpenGL -

I want to make a FreeCad package, this has a lot of dependencies (Qt, Opencascade, OpenGl, Coin....). I installed Mesa Glx for Radeon and Intel cards, but I get an error during configure of Coin

checking for OpenGL library dev-kit... unresolved

Could not figure out how to use the OpenGL software development kit

What do I need? Do I need all those libraries from

http://www.opengl.org/sdk/ ?

Or is there a "Xorg-high" dev package somewhere? I couldn't find GL header files anywhere on the slacko system...

Thanks for any hints
emil

[emil]

When I build equilizer 1.01 from the SDK package I get

-- Supported Features: RSP OpenMP GLX [32]
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)

So I guess I miss the gl header files
where can I find those?

thanks
emil

Hello, Thanks for Slacky. I have always liked Slackware and derivatives. Slacky is working good for me. Is there any way I can get thunar file manager? Not seeing it in any of the repos. Is there a pet?

@rcrsn51
Regarding this reply of yours to me:
SUCCESS!
I installed that PET within Slacko-5.3, and it fixed the problem I explained in my post here.

Hi Mick... I know you said you wanted to 'test Opera to death', so here is a funny little system bug: lets say you have a script attached to a keybinding to do something, typically to launch a browser, it might look something like this:

Code: Select all

<Key keycode="117">exec:defaultbrowser</Key>

, (taken from /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal), where Seamonkey is the default browser.
Ok, will work just fine. BUT. Load Opera, exit, and the keybinding will no longer work without a re-start of X.
The fix is to de-select 'override window manager control of the pinboard and panels' from rox options Compatibility, but I dont know what implications this may have on other sub-systems.
