No, just ltris, I noticed that a couple of other lgames were already available in the repo but not ltris so I uploaded that.01micko wrote:Good.Billtoo wrote:That did it, thanks.
I put your ltris game up at the repo, if you update PPM it will show, couple of other small games too, one is by thunor (pipepanic).
Have you built any more games? Maybe I missed some?
Slacko 5.4 - FINAL 2 Dec 2012
Re: Slacko - beta4 [5.4]
Doh! Put it down to old age. I read everything but with so many versions of Slacko, Precise, Carolina, Mint, so much kit running simultaneously, fixing the neighbour's flat tyre, another neighbour's central heating...are you sure you haven't got beta3
Will check it later and report back (probably your tomorrow morning). And thanks!
[But see Bk's latest blog, just appeared. I have found the same - Frisbee screws everything!]

Yeah, I've seen that too when upgrading some of my saves to the recent Slacko test builds, most recently an old 5.3.6.0 save to 5.3.7.1 - thought to myself "hmm, the output of lsmod is rather short today!"mavrothal wrote:Updated 5.3.6.5 to 5.3.7.1 (FF non PAE). No (wired) network, no interface or module to be found! No sound, no kernel modules other than the ones loaded in the init. Reboot, same thing.
Thanks for the tip, that fixed it for me too.mavrothal wrote:Run "depmod -a" and reboot, Bingo!

I've found that I can't create save files on my NTFS-formatted hard drive again, using 5.3.7.1 from a pfix=ram boot from CD. Symptoms are the same as I reported with 5.3.6.0. This is a major problem. I can create saves on FAT32 partitions, however.

Let't focus on the negative things.... Damn it, I don't like it .... but I expect so much of your iso.
I take it for granted that everything work out of the box, that I can install gimp 2.8.2, wine, inkscape..... Yes I can, but there are some minor things that I struggled with during my test.
Thank you Mick for this one - Promising!

shinobar mentioned he failed to burn a video-DVD with pBurn in Precise Puppy, so I would check that out here.
Pburn is not the latest, and I recommend to update. But let me first release 3.7.7 since I found a label error.
Else of that, making a video-DVD went just fine. - even the version of dvdauthor is the same as in Precise.

As in Slacko 5.3.3 I don't get any contact with my keybaord to control the Grub menu. My workaround is to edit the menu.lst file before I reboot. I have a usb wireless HP keyboard.
There are also some strange issues with the mouse living its own life (like Sage explained). My workaround is to run pupx to reset things. Then it works ok for a undefined time. Also mouse is wireless (logitech). I guess this could as well be hardware related, so I will buy wired tools next time I'm in town. Just want to mention because it acts similar to what Sage described.

How I got sound
- I have 2 soundcards. The internal is disabled in bios, but is still detected by Puppy. So by default card:0 is chosen which gives no sound.
- I run the Alsa wizard for multiple cards and choose my 'real' card:1.
- Reboot as informed in the wizard.
- Still no sound. - Test in pMusic and Gmplayer, and also set specific card in the pMusic preferences. - No go.
- check /etc/asound.conf and /etc/asound.state - both seem correctly to have set up my card:1
- Since Retvol main slider didn't react on anything and full window was empty, I fired up alsamixer which showed me sliders that I could adjust. But no music to hear.
- I went to Retvol config and found under hardware-tab a setting for soundcard. OK, so this one points to hw:0. I changed it to hw:1 and then..... YESS
But how could retvol override everything else?

A couple of issues, probably both woof related, but I assume that you have the ear of BK.
1. The following error still appears in a number of pups (including 5371). Given that ehci_hcd seems to now be built into the kernel (it is not available to load) why has the call to load it in sysinit not been removed?
2. Given that the fsckme.flg contains relevant data as to the location of the save-file.
Could not pupsaveresize.txt which currently contains just the amount to increase
the savefile by and is always plopped in the root, also be made savefile location specific?
There is a warning but when you have multiple pups on the same drive the first to
launch gets the early bath!

Wifi returns with x.x.x.1 . However, a new feature has appeared when booting with pfix=ram, nox. Black screen with empty task bar strip, except four squares - one coloured pink. Entire machine locked up requiring hard reset. Using pfix=ram only and settings from opening screen + x-refresh, everything works including Opera & FP.are you sure you haven't got beta3?

On 2 different desktops when I create a save-file and reboot my little housey icon in the top left corner is displaced inwards and downwards a bit.
Trying to compile Linphone 3.5.2 with video enabled gives me an error in the make sequence, something connected with libavcodec reports as deprecated I think but I am only a novice with such things. (Worked OK in Slacko 5.3.3).

Newbie question: I've been using Slacko 5.3.3 for the last few months and decided to give the latest Slacko 5.4 beta a try out today. Everything worked fine, but I have one little tiny niggle: How do I get the menu items to be collapsed like in Slacko 5.3.3? It does look neater with 3 different sections for "Utilities", etc, but I prefer to have them all in one list. Where can I find the option to do this? Thanks.
Slacko - beta4 [5.4]
I've been experimenting, I did a full install of the beta 4 PAE
version on an intel i5 processor and it ran well but seemed to run a
little hot.
I deleted that install and did a full install of beta 4 non PAE, it runs
about 8-10 degrees celcius cooler.
The beta 4 PAE full install on my single core amd emachines D620 runs
beautifully.
The beta 4 non PAE full install on my dual core i5 runs beautifully as
well.

Hi Mick,
I finally got 5.3.71 running on the XOs and a couple of things are stricking.
It feels considerable more sluggish than precise.
Looks like that gtkdialog 0.8.2 is to be blamed for that as some "time exec" commands show that it needs twice the time that gtkdialog 0.8.0 needs in precise. Looks certainly nicer but 22 seconds to open ppm is rather a lot.
But even C apps like Abiword, gnome-mplayer or gnumeric take ~20% longer. In contrast console apps (ie mplayer) are the same or faster
Any guesses there?
In addition with just htop running, load average is at least twice as high in Slacko vs Precise.
Granted, in a "normal" machine all these go unnoticed, but they do tell something about potential issues.
Finally the sfs (with all extras-to-XOs removed) is 15MB (gzip compressed) bigger than precise. I do not think that firefox adds that much over seamonkey. Any idea where the extra size might come from?
BTW, is time to apply your JWM patch. Unless if you wait for Joe and the upcoming Christmas season

I believe that the reason is that /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache file is missing. I copied the one from Precise Puppy and after that Pup-Sysinfo launched in 4 secs...instead of 8 secs without the file.It feels considerable more sluggish than precise.

That problem is not due to gtkdialog binary update but due to fact that gtkdialog apps try to find that cache file. I found that by using strace command.
Some time ago...after Radky timed the gtkdialog apps in dpup.

Ok, now what to try here..Jades wrote:I've found that I can't create save files on my NTFS-formatted hard drive again
Can you mount ntfs ordinarily?
Does an attempt to make the save happen at all?
Any error message? There is supposed to be one if ntfs gets mounted read only.
A known issue, (will go into release notes until resolved).. Ntfs save files should be created just fine. Sometimes, and I stress this has only happened to me once, however, when you boot you get the ugly warning symbols as icons and no wallpaper. This doesn't happen often, but the cause is a failure to remount the save file at first shutdown. The work around is to create your ntfs save file first and save nothing, reboot, run gtk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache, reset the wallpaper then things will be fine. Some people have reported it, I think nooby and one other.

Hiya!
Made multiple fresh save-files with slacko-5.3.7.1-4g, ten or so of them (yeah, I wanted a clean environvemnt to build something that didn't want to build properly), and
first-run ok
shutdown and make save-file ok
bootmanager, load devx
reboot not ok - Black desktop, jwm taskbar; menu, the three launch-icons, four DT-squares -ok, black void where the clock's supposed to show - and a complete hang, requiring a hard reboot (very similar to what Sage reported).
Upon reboot (after installation of devx) homey-icon jumps diagonally inwards a little bit (like OscarTalks reported).
Subsequent reboots - seems to work.
The program I tried to build was gtk-youtube-viewer (a brilliant perl mess) and after building it, mplayer didn't show other than a blue, or sometimes black, screen, though, sound was working correctly.
Did like pemasu, copied /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache from precise .iso - and mplayer worked (as well as gtk-youtube-viewer).
The experimentalist in me got the better of me, so I deleted /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache and tried again, sometimes mplayer worked, sometimes not ...
copied /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache in again - sometimes mplayer worked, sometimes not ...
Inconsistency!!!
Anyway, ..........
Hope it helps in some way

Inconsistency!!!
As I posted on BK's blog slackware doesn't ship the file, you have to generate it. If you have devx loaded run:
Code: Select all
iconvconfig
Just now have to find the right place to run it in the initial startup routine... or maybe I'll just hack 3builddistro and run it in chroot, then that saves me that headache.

5.3.7.1 made a bit of a mess of my previously nice working live cd 5.3.6.5 system. However, if I can fix the menus I'll be happy again - the second click just shows a large number of identical entries -
eg Desktop>Desktop Settings > shows 'GTK Theme Chooser' many times, and these entries don't respond to clicks. So I'm back to lupo for the time being.
Any advice?

Ok, so I built (not to be released) 5.3.7.5 and updated my stick that went from 5.3.6.5 > 5.3.7.1 > 5.3.7.5 and it worked, no reboot or anything. i just wonder if it's a carry over bug from the older version.mavrothal wrote: Updated 5.3.6.5 to 5.3.7.1 (FF non PAE). No (wired) network, no interface or module to be found! No sound, no kernel modules other than the ones loaded in the init. Reboot, same thing.
Run "depmod -a" and reboot, Bingo!
You might need to look at your kernel/rc.sysinit

grump, if you have a directory at /usr/share/applications/ked4 and it's a symlink, delete it. This is beta testing so unexpected things can and do happen in upgrades as we try and make things stable. Always backup the save before upgrading!
