Not done anything in depth but so far it hasn't bombed out yet. The version that came with 591 would load and allowed me to select the rows I wanted to delete and then crash as soon as I tried to bring up a menu,01micko wrote:Gnumeric bugfix

Test and report please.
Any chance of a new Slacko64 build? Seems to have been a long time since the last one came out. General performance on Merlin IV seems to be fine so far.
Zhaan - AMD K6 2 500, 512MB RAM, ATI Rage 128 VR. Full install Wary 5.5 [url=http://tinyurl.com/dy66kh8]HardInfo Report[/url]

Merlin - Core i5-4590, 8GB RAM, Radeon R9 270X. Slacko 5.7.0
Different Nvidia card..... another quick test.
Working pretty well.

Just for informational purposes......attempted to test on a recently built box but every boot attempt has failed so far.Slacko 5.9.3 fails as well but the latest Tahr release does work.

Going to swap a newer kernel and try 5.9.3 again tomorrow.

snappy and easy to set up on this 10 year old gateway with 2gb RAM and and the following specs:
thanks.
(and thanks to 01micko and all others in involved in putting this together.)
-------
couldn't get the vlc packages from the ppm to install, but vlc-2.1.5-x86_64-1alien.pet works.
can't get sound on zensound, can't get recoll to compile correctly (i think that's the one that gave a Glib error--it's outdated or something). firefox, internet, and video worked out of the box. the machine seems to run quicker and quieter than under precise 5.6.1, but that may be in part because it's asked to do less (i'm running about three fewer things than usual). it hasn't got as much ready made software as the other puppies, but it seems very stable, quiet, and quick. swapping pinboards and restarts to jwm are handled with relative silence. switching the gtk theme took away my ability to switch rox icons, but i like the flat gray rounded theme. been running strong for six days, handles pet installations and uninstallations well. i'm booting off a cd on a frugal saved to a folder. i'm not sure if the save file icon was supposed to have disappeared or not, but it's not a big deal with winkey+v as the partview shortcut. it gave the remaining partition size as the folder size for the first couple of restarts, but subsequent boots had no tray icon.

couldn't get firefox's flash to work or a download for it to install with any available pets or flash installers, but flash works with peebee's chromium64_with_pepperflash_38.0.2125.101.sfs
i'm having a difficulty getting it to print and tried to compile xpad but failed. has anyone got an xpad pet for this?▶—— CPU ——◀

wvdial bug
There is a wvdial bug that is present in fatdog700 (all test versions), this is present also in slacko64, but not in Tahr Pup
When I try to connect my laptop with Vodafone network using wvdial or FatDog dialer, I obtain this error message:
8<--------------------------------------------------
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATI
Manufacturer: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Model: ME906E
Revision: 11.234.44.08.00
IMEI: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

--> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.omnitel.t"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:409: static void WvTaskMan::_stackmaster(): Assertion `magic_number == -0x123678' failed.
8<-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is randomly present in other Puppies, but I don't know if is kernel related.
Another caveat: I can't connect with Network Wizard (net-setup.sh), PC refuses connection.
In FatDog64 (6.31 version) I can connect my PC using net-wizard.sh script (that doesn't exists in 700).
With this problems i can't test adequately FatDog700 with no Internet connection.
FatDog630 works flawlessly in both situation (3g and wifi internet connection)
Thank in advance for suggestion.
Fabio.

the devx was loaded--haven't run slacko64 in a few weeks so i don't specifically remember what or when it failed.smokey01 wrote:I compiled xpad today with no issues. Did you have the Devx loaded?Puppus Dogfellow wrote: i'm having a difficulty getting it to print and tried to compile xpad but failed. has anyone got an xpad pet for this?
gcc seems to be in the main distro but apparently doesn't have all the required tools.
could also be a case of my newbieness coming through--at the time, i think it was maybe my third or fourth attempt at compiling anything, and i'm still surprised when i succeed (now maybe five compiles later). wish i remembered....
Bootup problem with usb keyboard
Slacko64 has the same problem on bootup with multiple savefolders/files when using a usb keyboard that I reported for TahrPup6:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 646#807646
diagnostic by gyro:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 929#807929
Basically, if you have multiple savefolders and a usb keyboard that needs a special driver then it is not possible to select the required savefolder as the keyboard input is not recognised......some generic usb keyboards do work for others apparently but my generic-usb wired keyboard doesn't....

AMD 64, NVidia, old CRT monitor, frugal using Grub bootloader
First boot locked up at graphical text screen
Added nouveau.modeset=0 boot parameter and boots further, but to a black screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace out to command line, run xorgwizard and thinks for a second or two, shows Probing Video Hardware please wait, then crashes back to command line.
Tried booting with pfix=nox, looked to see if there was a /etc/X11/xorg.conf to delete - none found
Gave up and deleted
For this hardware its common to black screen boot. Fatdog 7 is about the only one I've come across that booted straight to desktop - I believe because it has mesa loaded in ??? (dumb end user that doesn't really know what he's talking about here).
Also noticed that it did hang around for quite a while at the searching for Optical part of the boot sequence.

Hello @RufWoof and Happy Holidays to you.
Here to help
- Do you have another monitor or TV to try?
- And, did you try the other PUPPY Slackware 64bit PUP, LightHouse64? Did you have the same result?
Here to help
I do (monitors), I haven't (tried Lighthouse), although as mentioned FatDog is fine.gcmartin wrote:Do you have another monitor or TV to try?
[*]And, did you try the other PUPPY Slackware 64bit PUP, LightHouse64? Did you have the same result?
Common problem with this CRT/Nvidia hardware and usually setting nouveau.modeset=0 does the trick after you drop to command line and xorgwizard. But in Slacko64 case xorgwizard doesn't run/work.
Just a quick test/observation from me really, as I'm content with Slacko 5.3.3 as my workhorse.
UPDATE
(Very) quick test of Lighthouse 64 Final. Downloaded ISO extracted contents to HDD and set grub to
title Lighthouse 64 (frugal on sda4)
root (hd0,3)
kernel /LH64/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdev1=sda4 psubdir=LH64 video=1024x768 pfix=sfsauto
initrd /LH64/initrd.xz
Booted straight to desktop correctly detecting sound, network etc. 800x600 resolution changed via exit to command line and xorgwizard - which ran ok and changed resolution to 1024x768. Updating this post using LH.

I know I am new to this version and a bit late. But, I decided to try Slacko64 out. I have installed the devx.sfs. I could not find java. The gcc compiler can have a java plugin. Is java (JRE) available for slacko64? If the answer is buried, then please point me to it. Thank you in advance for any help on this.

There isn't anything in the Slacko64 repository but there is an sfs in the Fatdog700 repository that would be worth a try....JustGreg wrote:I know I am new to this version and a bit late.

Peebee,
I do not think using Fatdog64 version 700beta, java squashed file system is a good idea. I know Fatdog64 uses the Linux From Scratch process to build the software and Slacko64 uses the Woof build process.
I did do some more research. Oracle has changed the software license and this prohibits the distribution of the binary with a Linux distribution. There is a tar.gz package for the latest version from Oracle. I have down loaded it. After I get it working with Slacko64, I will post instructions on how to added it to Slacko64.
Edit I did look at the Fatdog64 java sfs package and the Orcale supplied package. The fatdog64 sfs package has similar files and it setups the path to access Java. So, I tried the fatdog64 java sfs package. It does work so far. I have tested the installation with AngryIP IPscanner. No problems were found. This was a lot less painful that I thought.
