You know, it's kind of funny. In an odd sort of way. I installed quite a few apps with gslapt and slapt-get and even compiled a couple from source and built a couple with slack.builds. The lib64 problem didn't show up until I tried to build a new lxpanel.
Go figure.

desktop fails to load sometimes |
|
I've been debating with myself on whether not to even mention this, because I'm not sure this isn't a firmware or hardware problem. But since there was a similar report on the Fatdog 6.20 beta thread, well here you go, just in case it's relevant.
Once every 6 or so cold boots I fail to get a desktop and Slackbones leaves me at the command prompt. Then, if I give it the xwin command it boots to a normal desktop. That's all it takes, xwin. This particular box is a circa 2006 1.8 ghz AMD with 512 MB ram and on board radeon 300G. I have installed with gslapt xf86-video-ati and mesa.

Slackbones v1.2 will be released by the end of the week. So when that drops, check to see if you get the same result. If you do let us know.
We've just got a few final things to tweak before we put out the next release.

Hi Guys,
Finally had time to install v1.2 last night. First experience is much better than v1.0. This one boots straight to the desktop with sound and networking, whereas v1.0 required video drivers to be installed to get X working on this old Compaq with on-board radeon 300G.
The devx seems OK too.
Memory usage with a couple of rox windows, geany, and firefox 19 running a blank page is only 127 mb. Excellent!
So far I have installed:
Firefox 19 (installed with Gslapt)
Glade
Geany
BaCon
chtheme & some gtk themes
xarchiver
htop
ob-xdgmenu
All of these (except Firefox, BaCon & ob-xdgmenu) are .txz installed with installpkg and are working well.
Regarding the video problem at boot that I reported earlier; Lupu 5.10 is failing to boot to desktop too so I believe this is likely a failing video chip and not a Slackbones issue.
Regards,
2byte

slackbones 1.2 from both sites match md5, however on burn I get;
Boot from CD :
ISOLINUX 4.05 0x502ec197 ETCDisonlinux: Image checksum error, sorry...
Boot failed: press any key to retry...
Burn't with both Burnisotocd and Pburn (4 cd's in total) on wary55.
Any ideas?

That's weird because I get that sometimes as well, but not always. And others havent had that issue since they're reported success with installing v1.2
I'm working on v2 right now, so if you dont mind waiting, just hold out for that.

You lost me on that one. Can you explain that one to me a bit more?

the -J causes an almost random read error, was able to make a correct iso that always failed with that setting. It's really not needed any more, even MiserySoft no longer forces its use on the rest of the world. Also he should try forcing a slower burn rate with CD's they are very flaky any way. Or move up to dvd or bluray in the next month or so.

gotcha. Well burning a 330mb file onto a DVD is kinda a waste... doing so on a BR might be a crime.

Oh Q you sound like a Ubuntu Linux user, extra space is used for storage in puppy. And my puppy needs a 'big' yard.
Did you see that the new Ubuntu will not even fit into a CD any more.
oh, also that's strike one on DINO... 'crime....'

Well slackbones is so bare... there's nothing there to even use. So all that storage would go to waste without programs to use it. So its really an 'install' and build release. I dont know if it managed to sneak into v1.2 or not; but in v1, multisession wasn't possible. So you couldnt even save your changes back to the disk, unless you did major tweaking in the live session to make that possible.
The 330mb is due the 130mb devx and the 91mb kernel sources. The actual Slackbones base ISO is 109mb.
Program wise SB is a blank slate... The only gui apps it has by default is rox, a terminal emulator and slaptget. Dillo and gftp are included on the ISO, but aren't installed.
