LxPupSc64 19.09 +6 now up and running on the Fujitsu S761 with a synaptics touchpad. Pristine frugal install, new savefile created. Libevent control of touchpad now working correctly with mappings correct after suspend/resume. Touchpad props checked under xinput and setup with touchpad V 1.9 checked. Not much else done yet. Posting from QtWebBrowser portable :roll: having loaded 32bit-compat-sc64-19.06.sfs. Clean boot, looks good so far.

Edit:

Also working as an update of 19.09 +5 on that same hardware, having scrubbed the savefile, particularly wrt synaptics driver related stuff. Using the 5.3.9 kernel on that install. The usual 32bit compatibility SFS and the 64b Slimjet SFS loaded and all profiles symlinked to the shared ones on the EXT data partition of the SSD. Clean boot, clean run, nothing untoward seen in dmesg, microcode loading, resource use at idle, or video FPS.

Cheers,
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

There appear to be some keyboard problems (with some hardware) with 19.09+7 .... apologies

If you are seeing problems like keys mapped incorrectly or country settings not being permanent please convert your 19.09+7 iso to an 19.09+7X iso with the:

19.09+7 to 7X delta

LxPupSc64-20.01+0-T-k64 installed to my Fujitsu S761, both as a pristine install, up through setting up timezones, firewall, SNS connection, touchpad configuration, adding in rightclicks and desktop drive icons from the options tab in Change Appearance; and as an update to my 19.09 +7+ frugal Grub4Dos install to SSD on the Fujitsu. Boot, system checks, video speed, mem/SSD throughput all good and unchanged in both the pristine install and the update. Posting from QtWebBrowser in the pristine install now with the 32bit-compat-sc64-19.06.sfs loaded. Fresh savefile created and tested ok with a reboot. One quirk noted: On the pristine install, the Drives-On-Desktop pet will not install from the usual options tab in the Change Appearance App. Screenie attached. In the update, with that pet previously installed, everything is working correctly.
Cheers,

Thanks @Marv

Really weird!! The drive-icons and conky .pets seem to have been missing from the LxPupSc64 builds for some long time ..... no idea why! I'll reinstate them for the 1st delta.

Hi peebee,
great job, I'm using LxPup64 20.1 with the latest ydrv release of LXQT on my ASUS X555LB notebook, no issues so far.
Very nice look.
Greetings

Qemu Missing libs

#387 Post by Wen d »

I really like this OS! just saying.

I installed Qemu with the PPM. and it says I'm missing some libraries.

When i've done it in regular slackware ...oh it takes FOR EVER to compile. so it's nice to just get the binaries for this one.
how should i go about installing the versions I need? ...properly.

_____________________________________________output from the PPM:

Packages succesfully Installed or Downloaded
qemu-2.4.1-i686_s700

It works great so far... but i cant get this script to work. It did in 19.09. (I'm pretty sure it did.
Any Ideas... anybody?

I appreciate the help, PeeBee.

AH yes binaries! I knew that! *blushes* (I probably meant "dependencies").
When I did a search with pfind they were not found in the system..

Well I tried that txz and, yup, I'm running a 64 bit system. I don't know. It looks like it put on one for i386. It wont work.

lxPupSc64 is sort of a hybrid though isnt it?
