Slacko 5.5 Final
Don't want to fuss too much, but have you tested the updated gtkdialog-splash. I mentioned it before 5.3.3, and you responded that there is an issue with the -margin/-border setting (see link). BUT - this is no issue to already existing splash-code which doesn't use these settings.
I have never had any issues with it, and I just install the newer one....
As said; No fuss - your choice!!!!

Slacko 5.4.1 Beta
I did a manual frugal install to an ext4 formatted 8gb SDHC card using
grub4dos as the bootloader.
It went straight to the desktop using the radeon driver and sound etc.
was all working.
I ran the cpu frequency scaling utility.
I installed the amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run
proprietary graphics driver:

More Flash testing
- Can't get Opera to play youtube video with any of the offered Flash-versions in GetFlash.
- Both Firefox-18 and Chromium-25 works (only tested with the latest version of Flashplayer offered in GetFlash
- On the other hand, installing Chromium knocked out Rox pinboard and corrupted My gtk2. Using the default gtk-theme shows most of the gui, so I can still navigate. Wow - This is getting fun

5.4.02 running well with no hanging
powercut has resulted in a shorter uptime for testing but all ok so far

As I have mentioned in Slacko-5.4 bug thread I've observed similar behaviour:Zigbert wrote:Can't get Opera to play youtube video with any of the offered Flash-versions in GetFlash.
Anyway, out of curiosity, I launched 5.4.0.2 in VBox again paying attention for any differences.me wrote:If I launch Slacko in VBox, then indeed, Flash doesn't work at all and there are graphical glitches in Opera.
But then again when booted in real environment, everything's fine...
IIRC, I read somewhere that this can be caused by Xorg/Vesa differences, but most likely there's a lot more factors...
In my Toshiba/Acer Slacko boots into desktop using 24 bitplanes, but in VBox - only 16 bitplanes...
So, using xorgwizard I changed color depth to 24 bitplanes...and YT started to work; graphical glitches have gone also (see screenshots).
It's quite a long shot, but maybe this is also the cause of your problems..?
@Mick: +1 for updated gtkdialog-splash - I'm using it since 5.2.8 without any troubles.

-I'll update the chromium package, I already uploaded new google-chome-24xxx so should be at ibiblio and nluug by now.
-I just tested gtkdialog-splash. I remember there was an issue with -fg $color but that seems ok now, maybe that was the first version, anyway it can be in
-Sigmund, I remember your ATI card gives trouble since 431 IIRC, you included a special driver in Stardust puplet. Was that the radeon-hd xorg driver? If so I can compile it and put it in. I will message rurario (Norwegian Slacker, works at Opera) about the 16 bit colour bug in Opera. Also I'll post it in the Opera forum. Maybe it's an easy fix for them. You could also try opera-12.11 (pets @ ibiblio, nluug) and see if the issue is there. We are using now latest 12.13 (Feb 1 release).
-also uploaded are midnight commander by billtoo (plus slang dep), fixed umplayer. VLC-2.0.5 is packaged a bit weird billtoo, lots of stuff in /root.

Hi Mick
I am getting errors when copying files between directories using drag and drop in rox-filer in 5.4.0.2:
I am seeing the same errors in pemasu's recent dpup-wheezy - the file is copied correctly despite the error message
I have compiled the wl broadcom driver successfully for the 3.4.28 kernel - please say if you want it....
Cheers

Here's one that I compiled tonight in 5.4.0.2 after booting01micko wrote: VLC-2.0.5 is packaged a bit weird billtoo, lots of stuff in /root.
pfix=ram,installing qt-482 from ppm, and installing a lua pet.
If it works well give credit to pemasu, it's his configure line, I
just added --disable-dbus to it plus the lua pet.
It's actually a little larger than the other vlc pet but the
vlc-2.0.5-i686.files is smaller.
Here's the download link:

Re: getlibre is broken
FWIW, as an experiment, I deleted the lines in the script that called the routine that said no low memory/usb.01micko wrote:This is strange, but I guess there is some conflict. I'll resolve it soontlchost wrote:get libreoffice is now broken with bootable usb drive...tells me it does not support DVD or low ram installs....works fine in the non-beta versions of Slacko.
As soon as I did that, the script worked....until the very end...when sfsload could not find the sfs file. So it appears to me that the script does not see the memory I have(16 gigs). When I find an older machine, I'll test it there and let you know.

Manual frugal install on an old P4 test box. Looking good so far.

on two machines. Using ext3 and/or ext4 partitions and fat32 flash drives.Both Slacko 5.4.0.2 and Wheezy 3.5.2.3. FWIW.
Well done James! There is NO problem with Opera, it's just that some folks refuse to load the correct FlashPlayer, despite what I and others have recommended more than once. The correct version is NOT in Get Flash, it's the middle one in the PPM offerings, or use one of the earlier ones recommended by Terryphi(?)
As I and others have clearly flagged numerous times, it's an Adobe issue - just another cr*p American capitalist b*st*rd like Intel, M$ & co. Will the decent, honest Americans please stand up, be counted and STOP buying this junk. We are here on this Forum because we despise these rotten corrupt Wintel-type cartels.
