Haven't used any LX Pup's for a while, so seeing a new final release for LXPupSC64, thought it was a good opportunity to re-acquaint myself with the LXDE Puppy variant. A new manual frugal install to a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB Flash Drive using UEFI booting.

Everything appears to be working fine on Dell Latitude 3350 (Core i3-5005U 8GB RAM) laptop. Only issue seems to be reported Graphics failure in inxi output shown below. I have no idea what it is reporting, everything runs fine, glxgears executes successfully.

Thank you, well done peebee, congratulations on another great addition to the kennel.

LxPupSc64 - New Woof-CE build based on Slackware64 Current

Very nice Peebee.

Tested on Acer Cloudbook 14, older Braswell N3060 netbook, booted UEFI on USB flash. Everything worked except wifi/network.

Running OK on this machine: Xubuntu, Easy, Fatdog, StretchDog, XenialPup. But Slacko64 6.9.9.9 did not work, hangs with many errors on boot.
LxPupSc64 booted fine to the desktop, great job whatever you fixed.
But wifi card not recognized so no network. I manually copied over newer /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-17.ucode file that is in all the above working OS, rebooted and then LxPupSc64 saw the network and is now working fine.

Suggest to add the newer iwlwifi-3160-17 firmware, although this is an older machine, still see this cheap/slow platform being sold today amazingly.

Manual frugal install to a usb-3.0 SSD:

Installed kpat,vlc,gkrellm, with PPM + compiled smplayer/smtube.

One problem is that using the up-arrow key triggers the mtpaint
screenshot, the up-arrow key on the numeric keypad works fine (when I
remember to use it)

Also installed the newest Nvidia proprietary driver (Mar 12th)

Thanks.

Hi @Billtoo

I don't see that problem on either of my test pc's. Anybody else seeing it??

Can you give more details of your setup so I can try to duplicate? My installs are to hdd but that shouldn't make a difference....

Is the problem there on 1st pristine frugal install with nothing added?

Is it mtpaint triggered?? It should be TAS.....

Hi peebee

I can't swear to it but I'm pretty sure the problem is there on a
pristine frugal install.
Yes, mtpaint is triggered,if you were to hold the up-arrow down for a
couple of seconds you might see 10 or more in the tray (see screenshot)

This was a problem on one of radky's dpup's (I think) caused by
PupControl, he had a fix for it but I can't remember what it was.

It's a problem on my hard drive install of your first release but I
didn't report it at that time.

[peebee]

The fact that it's mtpaint suggests that the openbox config is getting overwritten....

or defaultscreenshot has been changed....

Does the PrintScreen key do anything?

see /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml

should say:

<keybind key="Print">
<action name="Execute">
<command>defaultscreenshot</command>
</action>
</keybind>

[peebee]

You have:
<keybind key="0x6F">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Print Screen</name>
</startupnotify>
<command>mtpaint -s</command>
</action>
</keybind>

in rc.xml so it has been overwritten....

Run xev in a terminal
press Up Arrow
should see:
keycode 111 (keysym 0xff52, Up)

Stop xev with cntrl-c
Run xev again
press PrintScreen
should see:
keycode 107 (keysym 0xff61, Print)

I chose Switch LXDE <-> JWM desktop environments from the setup menu and the up-arrow problem is gone.

Gave it a new background.

Edit: I had the same problem on my hard drive install of RC1

Turning it into Slacko64 RC3 with an updated kernel isn't the fix you want but it is working well.

[ozsouth]

Tried current update & previous. Frugal on hdd. Arrow keys just move cursor as expected. Toshiba laptop C665D cpu AMD E-450.
Edit: PrtSc brings up 'Take a Shot'. With the latest version - just booted up & no settings changed.

@Billtoo, Peebee:

This was the exact problem I reported (and what I did to fix it) to peebee almost a half year ago:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 7aa6b8602c

Surprised to see it is still occurring in many iterations of other OSes with lxde. Maybe the offending rc.xml code needs removed from rc.xml permanently, so it doesn't infect lxde-rc.xml (and anything else)? That was how I fixed it back then.

[ozsouth]

Tried 2 other pcs with LxPupSc64-18.03+2 on usb ext2. No issue - each time booted up and closed Quick start, Welcome & Theme Switcher unchanged.
** THEN ** - I changed the THEME SET via Switcher - billtoo & belham2's issues began. THEN I reverted to original blue theme - all OK again. Repeated with all 3 non-original blue sets. SUGGESTION - scrub Theme Set Switcher, or at least remove it from Startup.

[peebee]

LxPupSc64 currently has ffmpeg-2.8.11 from slacko6414.2 (ffmpeg-2.8.11-x86_64_s700)

My suspicion is that this needs rebuilding/updating as for instance:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/2barks.au
is giving errors....as are some websites....

Anybody else noticed sound problems??

The problem is I don't think I've got the right compiling environment available....

I hadn't noticed any problems on either the i5 or the core 2 duo. Just startup sound, some news type web pages and aplay. On both machines aplay returns

Code: Select all

# aplay /usr/share/sounds/2barks.au 
Playing Sparc Audio '/usr/share/sounds/2barks.au' : Mu-Law, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono

Cheers,

I get the same aplay result as Marv, on i3-2310m, celeron 1019y & amd e-450. I note ffmpeg compiled with different gcc to kernel (5.3.0 vs 7.3.0) - irrelevant?
