slacko-700 rc3
Hello @gyro
thank you for testing and feedback
Downloaded today Sailor's ISO for test.
Sorry but I can't detect a difference to the former versions, unfortunately.
Freezing happened extrem rarely and I don't know how to force it.
After usage of uxa acceleration I've never seen such a behave.
To reproduce a hanging of an application window is quite easy, see intel_test_-vo_xv.mkv
As the file name indicate, this only happens under usage of XV video output driver.
After that I did this test once again using uxa acceleration.
Result: absolute impossible to get a hanging or freezing of application windows.

Downloaded slacko64-6.9.9.9-uefi-k4.9-FF-LO.iso yesterday. I have an intel box which has a history of freezing and/or dropping the keyboard and mouse without the boot kernel parameter, <intel_idle.max_cstate=1>. Booted slacko64 without the fdrive and no boot parameters other than 'ram' and everything worked without so much as a hiccup. I think it's the best slacko yet!

build fail
Wanted to build a snapshot of today's Slacko-700 testing branch, but unfortunately it fails.
./1download alerted that following packages couldn't downloaded: grub, installwatch and xdg_puppy_jwm
So I had a look into downloaded DISTRO_PET_REPOS.
The table of contents of "Packages-puppy-common-official" is empty and "PKG_DOCS_PET_REPOS" doesn't contain such an entry.
Unfortunately this commit deleted the table of contents of this REPO and a recent version doesn't become loaded because there is no address defined.
So the download of some PET's fails.
Because the pet_packages-common and pet_packages-noarch differ it would be useful to remain both DOC entries in PKG_DOCS_PET_REPOS.
I added "z|http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... official|z" to PKG_DOCS_PET_REPOS
and got the table of contents and PET's downloaded again.
The real problem comes now
./3builddistro-Z stopped working with following error message:

I tried a Slacko64 build with the latest woof-CE when at my parents for Easter on my dad's Core2Duo laptop. Here's the iso:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/y13kxdldb9i9d/x86_64
It seems to be working ok so far on it, I didn't need anything from puppy-common this time either. These comments also apply to it:

It seems to be working ok so far on it, I didn't need anything from puppy-common this time either. These comments also apply to it:
- The adrv has Firefox 52.7.3esr and Abi/Gnumeric
- chose Original Pup as the default theme, and gnome-mplayer as the default music player
- kernel has firmware-140621-cut, if you are missing any drivers/functionality there's instructions on how to swap kernels here

slacko hangs on i5 machine
I installed it on my dualcore and it works very nice.Sailor Enceladus wrote:I tried a Slacko64 build with the latest woof-CE when at my parents for Easter on my dad's Core2Duo laptop. Here's the iso
I also installed it on my i5 laptop.
Startup seems to hang there between loading modules and starting X. It comes through eventually. I send you xerrs.log and my system specs in case you want to look into this.
When I try to startup with the savefile, it really hangs.
I have not yet tried to switch kernels. I may go for the 4.9.30 from 01micko and see wat happens.

I switched kernel and zdrv and now it runs very nicely.ozsouth wrote:@Foxpup - last time I had that happen, missing firmware was the culprit.
You could be right ozsouth, but I don't know which. It may be a kernel specific driver that needs compiling. Is there an easy way to know? Can I see it in some log file?
On my dualcore this slacko with the original kernel has now effectively replaced a heavily remastered Tahr 6.0.2 as my main workhorse.
Is slacko not ready for a release? Wouldn't it be nice if slacko, dpup (radky) and upupBB (peebee) released all together !?

- pkeys=de will be ignored ( I'm using ISOBOOTER )
- empty tables of contents of developer tools remain in packages/builtin_files ( 0 byte files )
- menu entry xcalc present but application not installed

Do you answer 'y' or 'n' to the isobooter "splash screen" question?norgo wrote:- pkeys=de will be ignored ( I'm using ISOBOOTER )
Answering 'n' means it boots using the files in the iso rather than booting the iso itself.
Then adding boot parameters in "menu.lst" should work.

yes I'm using isobooter with "splash screen" and "menu.lst" contains already the boot parameter pkeys=de

I have installed yours on my dualcore PC and found it works well
I took kernel sources and devx from micko's build and compiled the 304.137 nvidia driver for my graphic card.
I use pkeys=be-latin1. It is all right on the prompt (nox) but it has to be setup again for X (be), as in most Puppies. No problem.
I install frugally by copying the Puppy files into a directory and adding lines to the menu.lst for grub4dos.
Confirmation on the other blemishes.
Hello foxpup,
thank you for feedback.

Seems to be a feature now

fixes for keymap-set and xkbconfigmanager
improve symbiotic relationship and throw xorgwizard-automatic into the mix
hopefully this fixes the pkeys= issue reported by @peabee

ifactive
Frisbee in /usr/sbin/ifactive should be changed to all lower case in script ('Frisbee' -> 'frisbee') to work with the frisbee installed in Slacko64. Also, sections on frisbee-tray might be removed, as it's not present or used in this version. If this is part of woofCE, someone should commit the change. If it was just lifted out of lighthouse for this build, just change the script.
Here's the fixed one (still has ref to frisbee-tray):

64 bit kernel
I've made a 64bit Slacko compatible 4.9.94 kernel via Puppy kernel-kit, with the cutdown firmware option. Is Spectre/Meltdown mitigated. Have swapped it into Slacko64 6.9.9.9 and LxpupSc64 18.03. Works ok in both.
