Very nice pup Sailor I tried out on my Dell Studio 1555 - everything worked well seemed very stable as usual for your work.Sailor Enceladus wrote:It looks like the woof-CE slacko 14.0 was recently updated to "5.8CE". I built an iso for testing for it (to the 5.8CE folder).
Some things I noticed so far in it: many apps have been recompiled for slacko 14.0, including inkscapelite (with the rulers fix), e3 and picpuz were removed and lvm2 was added.

Quick test how it work on HP nc8430 with ati graphic
backlight turn off after x start
completly black screen
unable to work and check more.
Had some problem with backlight in HP nc8430 before in other distro - it was always max after boot, but keys worked, allow to set reqired backlight level.
Later simple script placed in autostart set every time moderate level backlight so I can live with it.
any simple solution for completly black screen?

Slacko 5.8Bare Edition
I have made a Barebones version of 5.8CE by Sailor without adrive remastered with woofy 0.91 has GmPlayer as media player left in but is very minimal for loading what you want.

Long time no bark, sorry.
Got to run the "WoffCE-5.8" version r6291 aka k3.8.113 this morning. The usual stuff I would alter for me (openSSL 1.0.2 and FF27-config). Otherwise,
Atom n270 2Gb mem CD-operated
wget 1.19.5
curl 7.60
***bash 4.2.53(2) ***
I will HAVE to test this for printing w/CUPS 1.4.8 and Gutenprint 5.2.9 installed. Since I have an HP-Laserjet-1102w, I have to install foomatic.
Played some A/V with mPlayer seems OK just a little low in volume (80% needed vs. 75% in original)
In the meantime k3.18.115 is out with notable ext4 patches and an ancient 32-bit patch (from k2.6.12+).

i noticed another thing:
switching rox-filer to listview crashes rox! (at least in slacko-5.8.1)
did not do any further testing, but borrowed the kernel for an old laptop with slacko-6.3.2
i guess, here on my own buggy lenovo G50-30, i'm trapped in trying to find a kernel that wants to play with this thing

I think the version of rxvt you're using is asking for this

Let me know if that helps or not
Thanks HerrBert. It looks like that list view has now been fixed thanks to woodenshoe's v11 rox pet.HerrBert wrote:maybe i'm late...

Hi 8Geee,8Geee wrote:Just a quick question here...
Are the newest kernel updates going to be in
the 14.0 link OR
the 5.8CE link?
Originally I was updating the kernel and slackware updates into 5.7.1, but recently noticed that:
- Kernels 3.18.118 and 119 were annoyingly slower at writing to disk than 117 (spectre mitigation?)
- The updated slackware file-5.34 does not seem as compatible with Woof-CE strip script (I think?)
So I've been keeping 5.7.1 the same for now and using it to build 5.8CE each time. I suppose 5.7.1 could be considered the stable version at this point and 5.8CE could be considered more daring upgrades and changes (thanks mainly to wdlkmpx).
Thanks to festus for the openssl pets and darry for the slimmer 5.8CE iso also.
Sailor:
had a look just now at the kernel listings.
k3.16 has a large number of x86 updates regarding L1TF. These are not yet in k3.18... so the next update of 3.18 might be worth a go at it.
I noted your problem, and the Atom N270 did/does lag a bit. I almost built-out an AtomicPup using 3.18.117, then L1TF hit the fan. This due primarily to ALSA, ext4, and USB improvements.

Recently k3.18.124 came out (Oct.13) and there are numerous ext4 fixes and a few ALSA and ARM fixes. One important fix is a stack migration (walking) issue.
IMHO this one looks like a good anchor point for 5.7-CE kernel.
***EDIT just noticed the 123 version in the 5.8.2 folder, will check that one out.***

in the background...???
I've been using Slacko5.7.0 since the beginning on my Asus X101CH netbook with the "hated" N2600 processor.
A close candidate for replacement was the XSlacko-slim series, but it had some small annoyances (like a few minutes black screen during bootup, ever since 4.2R37).
That's why I was very eager to try the Slacko5.7.1, since the main problem with 5.7.0 where outdated (security) libs, and I hoped for a version with these fixed.
In reading the thread, I noticed there was even a 5.8CE, and in following the link I stumbled upon Slacko5.8.3.
I downloaded it, and installed it. It accepted (read: automatically converted) my 5.7.0 savefile, and it runs flawless (so it seems).
The useual hurdle with the N2600 is the manual config of XORG for modesetting, but that was basically it.
I wonder why this gem doesn't have it's own thread in this forum...
Regardless who was involved in creating this version (Sailor Encelados and/or 8Geee), I thank you all.
Volhout
P.S. on one other PC I had to use xbacklight and manually set XORG for frambuffer because the correct intel driver was not present, but that was not much work. Not playing games on it anyway... except solitaire...

Thank you, Volhout. I did too, and am running it now, on this Dell E6410 laptop. Added Opera 12.16 via Package Manager, and posting from it.Volhout (in part) wrote:In reading the thread, I noticed there was even a 5.8CE, and in following the link I stumbled upon Slacko5.8.3.

Slackware Update Manager bug
I'm running the 3.18.117 build of 571CE. While using the Updates Manager to check for Slackware updates, I noticed that once you select an update, the dialog that comes up to offer a selection of mirrors has all the buttons labelled simply "z", although hovering the mouse over a button does show the corresponding mirror's info.
