powerapplet_tray does not run/display without battery (on dock) as older puppy version did (would show 'no batt' or similar)

powerapplet_tray has nicer icon spacing and mouseover than vattery

have also had a quick test of 5404 on an old IBM T21 and also eeepc 900, everything working so far

Yeah, powerapplet is a bit of a mess eh? Doesn't work on half of my lappies. It was the default woof download from wary5 repo, must be the wrong one. The one SFR linked fails too with my dud battery on my compaq-CQ-60. The one in 5.4.0.3 works, and if IIRC was patched by rodin.s and compiled on slacko. I'll post a link soon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I reported a bug in the main post for XOR (light) encryption. It actually works fine for ext2 filesystem, and it recommends that in the shutdown GUI, so that is a non issue .AES (heavy) works for ext2,3 and 4. No problem remounting the save file as reported by aarf on my blog late last year, so aarf, if you read this can you please test and post to my blog. Also I'll announce this on my blog and tweet it, never no, might snag a few more testers/users.

The qr-code in my sig is a link to my blog. I can give you an account if you leave a valid email, that way I don't have to srceen your post.

After adding quite a few pets I remastered my 5404 pae cd.
I chose the custom option but tried the disk on another pc with an
nvidia graphics card, it didn't go straight to the desktop but went to
the prompt, running xorgwizard,choosing nvidia with the proper
resolution, then xwin to get to the desktop and all is good.
I booted with "puppy pfix=ram"

I have posted a comprehensive report to Barry on his blog regarding the "BUG". I hope he just doesn't dismiss it.

Try this power_applet attached, just compiled from rodin.s' source.

Posting from Slacko 5.4.0.4 now on my nvidia FX 5200 card computer.

Booted with "puppy pfix=ram nouveau.noaccel=1" all OK. Installed the nvidia driver 173.14.36 .pet from PPM and all went OK too, glxgears gives around 2630 fps.

This machine is also sometimes problematic with the 2 sound cards but I ran MSCW rather than doing my usual edit of alsa-base.conf and have done a few reboots - so far so good.

I use this Slacko now and are satisfied with it.
slacko-5.4-firefox-4g.iso

How are these slacko-5.4.0.4-4G.iso and slacko-5.4.0.4-PAE.iso different.

Yes I know there is some explanation on first post but I fail to get it.

One difference seems to be these later ones use Seamonkey.
I prefer Firefox due to it has the extensions that I am use to.

I have placed .mozilla on mnt/home or mnt/sda1 so
that would make it more complicated using seamonkey maybe?

Aha! Just booted again and this time the sound cards have loaded with the index numbers (0 and 1) the other way round, so the speaker icon in the tray has a red cross and the settings are messed up despite having run MSCW.

Clicking MSCW to open it is the easiest way to see which way round the 2 cards have been loaded (clicking "cancel" rather than "OK" to just close the window without running the wizard each time).

hey zibert

ok, can't reproduce today? system was left up too?

it started when expanding to full screen then back again but working ok now, only small issue today is volume slider is to left (no volume) even though volume not muted, moving slider to right and back again makes volume decrease

I was streaming a video last night so maybe processing issues, will try and recreate and post

screenshot wouldn't show much as the issue was a difference between track displayed and track playing, if I break it again I'll let you know!!!

5.4.0.4:
No sound, can't switch it on. SB PCI card.
Still getting USA as locale, even after doing a pfix=ram,nox and setting LONDON in panels. Not a single developer is willing to address this oversight - doesn't happen in other distros. You da man, micko!
Firefox instead of Opera, blue instead of Earthrise. Retrogressive!
Sticking with previous version for the moment.
Otherwise, probably nothing you can't fix.
