The lspci reports in Slacko 6.0.7.4 seem markedly truncated.
Can't grep for Audio, Network, Ethernet or VGA, so those specific reports fail.
PupSysInfo reports fine on everything (Including Network).
Do you get any relevant errors in dmesg? Maybe is something specific to the hardware/kernel/udev combination.

New version is out with bugfixed kernel and other minor bugfixes at woof-CE level. It is fully reproducible from the `fdrv` branch of woof-CE.

Thanks Roger.
It was a broken template in woof.. but strange that it worked for me on a pristine install . As a stop gap just reinstall pciutils. (6.0.8.1 still has the bug)

AIO LAN now showing stable behavior. WAN navigation isa NOGO
Initial 64-6081 testing
Tested DVD boot of 64-6081 on AIO-touch. Same issues remain; namely WAN and touch. BUT, progress is seen on LAN/WAN because I can ping yahoo (same as I can in 32-6081) ...but cannot browse to it using either its IP address or its url site name. All other services including local LAN services are stable.
Hummm....???
Update #1 - see update #2
Since I knew I could see the WAN, I wondered if a utility would correct the problem. Read the comments to see the results; positive:But, the SAMBA resources keep disappearing and reappearing to the LAN which tells me that there is still issues with LAN stability.
Wish I had more information to help with the LAN-WAN problems on this AIO PC. The distro behaves much differently on this AIO versus a non-UEFI desktop.
P.S. I've just discovered that the tray icon will no longer allow me to disconnect from the LAN. Clicking that option now, does nothing. When initially used, it worked fine.
Update #2
My report earlier was very premature. I have the same problem report few days ago. The LAN comes and goes. And browser only functions when LAN is there, and loses web sessions when LAN disappears. The tray icon is always active never hinting at any problem. Continuous Pings from other LAN station to this one show its presence, then just stops! The LAN behavior problems is there no matter which of the 3 LAN setup wizards in the Menu>Setup>ICW I use.
My apology for my apprehension for 64-6081 success.
BUMP: Is the kernel_changer in this edition? If so, is it in the Menu somewhere? It is not present when I expand the ISOs.

This bug has been annoying me for ages!
Barry's version of netpbm-tools would never build for me in slack64 (or 32) so I went with a newer version 10.49.02. Trouble is the gif always got messed up on the boot screen when you boot from the CD. I think it has been reported several times.
Anyway I downgraded to the 'super-stable' (it says that on sourceforge ) 10.39.97 version and the gif now works !
Not much but I suppose it is definitely more professional.

Is there any way to fix the logo in 10.49.02? Does the bad gif cause the CD boot to crash or does it just look ugly?01micko wrote:This bug has been annoying me for ages!

edit: Whoops I read your post backwards. If 10.39.97 is the "super-stable" version then that might work out better anyway.

I did some tinkering with jwm and added support for gif and some other image formats (tga, bmp, )
details are here
p.s. Has anyone else had issues closing jwm programs with Alt+F4?
Alt+F1 and Alt+F2 are working for me, but windows aren't closing even the the <Key> binding is set ... I also changed the Alt+left and Alt+right desktop navigation to Ctrl+Alt+{left,right} because it interferes with website navigation (very annoying to switch desktops instead of going to the previous page)
details are here
This is in preparation for me to get back to work on jwm-tools and one of my plans is to have an optional MyPictures viewer in a "menu" using some of jwm's new dynamic generation features (similar to what I did with the partition manager menu for scottman's akita linux and the package manager already included in jwm-tools) ... the best part is jwm now supports menu tooltips which means no more crappy Puppy specific desktop files that add a shortened "COMMENT=" section to the end of the "NAME=" section(comments can now go in the tooltip)JPEG baseline & progressive (12 bpc/arithmetic not supported, same as stock IJG lib)
PNG 1/2/4/8-bit-per-channel (16 bpc not supported)
TGA (not sure what subset, if a subset)
BMP non-1bpp, non-RLE
PSD (composited view only, no extra channels, 8/16 bit-per-channel)
GIF (*comp always reports as 4-channel)
HDR (radiance rgbE format)
PIC (Softimage PIC)
PNM (PPM and PGM binary only)

A few of the images in puppy aren't supported by stb_image, but overall jwm is much lighter. I decided to try adding nanosvg in place of cairo+rsvg and it is drastically lighter weight.
All of my future work on jwm-tools will use images designed to work with these (it will still work with the full libs of course) So if you are interested in a lighter weight wm, test it out (I already know about the transmission and FPM2 icons) and report any issues
The changes are here:

Thanks for tests guys.
I just woofed up a test version to see if getflash is fixed on the iso. Works.
See the main post for a delta file at the ibiblio link.
Suggestion: boot it live to see the theme
Other themes tested working are osX, winXP, PoP (plain old puppy) as well as the builtin stardust themes. Take a browse in ibiblio.org/pet_packages-noarch and look for ptheme_(some-theme-name).pet

Actually the theme hides the top tray and some widgets become wider and now show a horizontal scrollbar (pTheme for example). Also the black background colour of the tray and the dark icon theme makes them hard to see.
BTW is tray background transparency implemented in jwm yet ??

Top tray doesn't hide here. . Yes something is up with the gtk theme there I think.

Transparency is only supported in JWM with a composite manager such as xcompmgr, kcompmgr or compton. All of which fade the icons with the background in JWM.
I believe it is somewhat of a challenge to get transparent trays in jwm because of the way thay are layered in the context of Xlib. Bear in mind jwm doesn't depend on a hell of a lot so not so many libraries are available as the bigger wm/de's.
