slacko-5.6 Final - plus testing next
Oh, a new version - cool!
And here's the first problem:
In 5.5 after formatting a partiton (via Gparted) the relevant drive icon on the pinboard gets refreshed immediately after exiting Gparted.
in 5.6-alpha it doesn't get refreshed and clicking such an icon invokes pmount.
Way to reproduce:
1. Format an existent partition to different filesystem than current (eg. fat32 -> ext4)
2. Exit Gparted and click an icon of that partition.
It has something to do with the new pup_event_frontend_d, because the old one makes 5.6-alpha working as before...
As for updates, there's also available updated ptiming-1.0.0 (Zigbert).
And the deadlock problem seems to be non-existent in the whole k3.1... line.
PS. I'm running alpha in VBox for now.
Greetings!

Ok, thanks. Well This might be something that be can cross checked with Raring (Barry's version and possibly pemasu's). I didn't use eudev because the most stable configuration was with the old udev-167. I did try slackware's udev-182 but it failed for me on one of my test boxes.

Hello 01micko,
Thanks for your continued work on a very polished Pup.
I am curious to know if you have identified any practical operational advantages to the upgraded ffmpeg?
It does mean that Puppy apps need to be re-compiled for specific Slackos rather than being across-the-board s14.0 packages does it not?

Raring-3.9.8.1-SCSI (pemasu) - ditto.

Ok, played a while on real HW (Acer AO 722) and 5.6-alpha's guts seem to be more friendly for AMD-C60 (inter alia: CPU scaling works OOTB, X takes a bit less resources than in 5.5, but CPU is still hotter (~66°C) than when using proprietary ATI drivers).
Wifi works (ah, and the network tray icon changes its shape at last!), so does microphone, webcam, suspend* mode...
The problem with drive icons is reproducible on real HW as well, btw.
* suspend mode - that's a PITA on that Acer.
Both 5.5-4g and 5.5-PAE do support suspending on it, but after few suspends I've always been encountering ultimate hang, so had to disable it in the end.
We'll see how it will be with 5.6 in the long run, but so far after ~10 suspend/resume cycles nothing bad happened...
_____________
Bug? Not a bug?
PupTelly has never worked for me when I choose gnome-mplayer as a preffered player.
Removing the "--g-fatal-warnings" in this line (func):
Code: Select all
if [ "$PLAYER" = "gnome-mplayer" ]; then OPT="--g-fatal-warnings -q" ;fi
Is this parameter somehow crucial to be there?
Almost forgot: /root/.xbindkeysrc
PrtScr is binded to a non-existent /usr/bin/mtpaintsnapshot.sh
Maybe just 'mtpaint -s' instead..?
_____________
Not sure if it's reasonable enough...hope I won't cross the line..?suggestions? (be reasonable)
I'm not using xarchive(r) (especially because I don't like when the whole X hangs while opening encrypted .rar or .7z (but this happens only with encrypted filenames (and yes, I know that I'm overusing brackets))), but file-roller instead.
The problem is that either files and directories have the same icons next to them, what's confusing.
This:
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/share/icons/gnome-fs-directory.png /usr/share/icons/folder.png
The reason why I'm suggesting this, is that there might be also other apps with this problem, however, to be frank, I've never seen one.

This is certainly not Alpha
Looks very solid.
Should it also update Slacko-5.5 or the new kernel my introduce driver problems?
A little problem was firefox that runs under the jwm panel.
The only other "complain" I had in a brief test was the my desktop incon configuration turned back to the original after a devx-induced aufs update.
But this is probably a desksetup bug (if not aufs)

Kernel version
Let me ask you to apply a kernel at least 3.5 to support seccomp sandbox01micko wrote:
This will not be the final kernel. I will likely roll back to 3.4.XX (hopefully patched for f2fs) for the 4G build and keep a more recent kernel for the PAE build. (maybe 3.10 series, see what problems arise/get fixed)
My 2-cent would be 3.8.3 as in pemasu's Precise 3.8.3.1 but please support SUID sandbox, too:
General setup --->
-*- Namespaces support --->
[*] PID Namespaces
[*] Network namespace
Another 2-cent: please let the user choose her/his default browser, e.g., by selecting an sfs - forcing Firefox is too insecure. A simple browser such as links2 is more than enough for viewing the Help etc.
And a kind request: Could you please support USB hard drives formatted for NTFS... this is the only reason why I rarely use Slacko(s).
FYI: I have no problem with nouveau in pemasu's precise 3.8.3.1
pMusic-4.1 is taking advantage of ffmpeg-1.2. It allows sound filtering which is not strictly necessary - but still funny. pMusic will also work on older versions of ffmpeg.OscarTalks wrote:I am curious to know if you have identified any practical operational advantages to the upgraded ffmpeg?

BTW, hfs-tools (utils, or whatever it is) is not included but is available from PPM (slackware) and it does allow mounting rw of mac hfs and hfs+ filesystems. Tested on a late model macbook-air in ThinSlacko a while back. This enables the possibility of data recovery in macs, and I think already it helped out one forum member.

Yes... everything loads up fine and initial tests went well however getting a little deeper...
HP Printer 1050 will not setup up in cups 1.4.8 (Slacko-5.5 uses same version and I had no problems there using hplip-11.10 version!) Tried hplip versions 11,13,12 with lots of re-plug-ins, reboots etc., etc., just wont recognize my printer?
Scanner sets up fine and works with hplip 11,12,13, no problems there.
The new version of Osmo is missing 'Contacts'... might not be important to many but very important for what I do!
Overall it is fast and preforms great... better than 5.5, Eh... hard to tell just yet?
We'll see

My problem is that I've connected the netbook to an external monitor

Do you know what is causing the error message?
Thanks.
Also, mtpaint will not save a screen capture in jpg format.

Here's a screenshot of my Slacko 5.5 install, the driver
compiled no problem in it.
I can see my SDHC card in the lower left corner in this screenshot but
it's off the screen on my netbook monitor.
I'm pretty sure that the ATI pets for 5.5 on ibiblio are corrupted, I
didn't have any luck downloading them.

rand_util_posix.cc is the common denominator here. I have little clue what to do about it, it seems it is a new inclusion in the mozilla tree. I tested Fido and expected (and got) the same.

1. Detecting the physical device through Add Printer / Find New Printers.
2. Providing the correct printer driver software.
Which one are we talking about? If it's #1, then installing different versions of HPLIP will have absolutely no effect.
I tested several HP units and they were all detected OK.
