Initial testing: A sound start at Slacko64. It has a nimble feel and great LAN awareness and presence.

Hope this helps

I found a version of ddcprobe which now works. I could not find one previously which probably rendered xorgwizard useless. (That will be changing one day anyway).

There isn't much use to post a pet as it will probably just mess up current savefiles. However I will put it in the next version. Seems to work ok in my tests. Output on my current machine is identical to slacko-5.6.

"I have just downloaded the slacko64-5.8.7.iso "

nickau, just wondering if you noticed the other iso at the download site: slacko64-5.8.6.iso

I downloaded both just in case, since I have two 64 bit machines.

Also, did you try running the xorgwizard and choosing vesa instead of probing for a driver in xorg? That usually works for me.

Regards,
Ed

I downloaded the slacko64-5.8.7.iso and did a frugal install on my hard drive and works good with my amd 64 (4 core processor) with ati radeon hd 3200 video.

For the life of me though I can not get it to boot when trying to do a full install on the hard drive though:

"Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init="

Long story short I think the file system is not getting mounted correctly. I checked the md5sum on the iso and it is good. I even re-compiled the kernel from your source provided just for kicks and came up with the same error.

I would like to do a full install to see if I can get my dvb apps running on 64 bit like i did on precise 5.7.1. Might be better.

I would like to try the earlier version mentioned above; but have not found it yet.

Thanks for your work!!

What boot loader are you using?
How did you make the boot menu entry for the full install?

Did a frugal install on my ThinkPad R500, basic functionality is there, as expected, WiFi is recognized and easily set up. But when I tried to enter static IP in classic network wizard, it threw an error saying that IP, netmask, Gateway and DNS were invalid. Upon re-checking, the respective fields were empty. I suppose the values are not written to their proper destination, maybe an issue with permissions? Frisbee did the trick, but still requests an IP address from dhcp (the dhcp-server is shut down in the router, so no problem).

Closing the lid does not give any effect.

German language pack applied and most everything is german now.

Did not do much more testing, looks quite promising so far.

Missing binaries. Download the attached file, then do "tar -xf bins.tar.gz -C /" and you should be good (I think).

Thank you for this 64bit Puppy.

It will be nice to have suspend option in Shutdown menu.

Hi Mick,

I've just been lurking in the forum and discovered your latest Slacko64. It's impressive and is working great on my system.

Of course, I haven't yet tried the Nvidia driver.

I used your getlibreoffice pet to install the latest Libre Office which is working fine. Also, discovered that Fatdog's Bibletime program works fine.

Hope that you are planning on adding a Wine capability so that some Windows 32 bit programs can run. I tried Fatdog's version which did not work.

Thanks again for your super distribution which continues to improve.

Jim

Thanks for reports

It's still early days. Obviously xorgwizard is broken due to the lack of ddcprobe which I have found and will be in the next. The goal of the next version is to get all bins and apps that are in standard slacko working and accounted for. It will still be alpha but then I have to get back to 32 bit for awhile. I've had some time constraints lately so haven't had the productivity I would have liked to this point.

Cheers

What boot loader are you using?
How did you make the boot menu entry for the full install?

I tried my existing grub that came with the latest linux mint i have installed and it did not recognize any os system on my slacko-64 install partition with a sudo update-grub. Tried by installing grub from inside universal installer while booted in slack-64 cd and it make a menu entry in grub; but it produced the same above error . Tried grub4dos that was on my precise 5.7.1 full install and it recognized the os but produced the above error. I tried what was suggested for the entry in boot menu by universal installer in slack64 in my linux mint grub:

title Puppy Linux 5.8.7 full install
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda8 pmedia=atahd

I downloaded the iso again and started from scratch and same results as a before.

One thing I have not mentioned before is inside the universal installer when it comes to where they tell you there is an existing puppy install on the partition where I want to install i did not choose wipe. It always says that when it is not true when there is another full install puppy installed. I have just created the partition and formated it with gparted. I choose wipe last week installing precise puppy and it wiped out another partition where I had another puppy install but still installed puppy on the blank partition i just created. So after that i never choose wipe. For some reason it saw the other puppy install i wanted to keep and thought it was on the partition i wanted to install the new puppy. I have not had any issues after that in precise 5.7.1 by not choosing wipe.

I don't know if there is a wine pet or sfs for LHP but if there is it would be worth trying or maybe http://www.winehq.org/

Ted Dog · #49 Post by **Ted Dog** » Mon 20 Jan 2014, 05:27

can the deltas be hosted outside of the torrents. I dl using cell phone and can't play with torrents. Also The downloads of iso s have been corrupted..

Have a good copy of v5.8.6 can someone host the deltas as files in its own directory.
Thanks.

smokey01 · #50 Post by **smokey01** » Mon 20 Jan 2014, 12:30

Ted Dog, I just made a delta file for 586 > 587. It's 45M. I guess there were a few changes.
