LxPupSc: Woof-CE, Slackware-Current, LXDE build 13-Jun-2020

[mavrothal]

LxPupSc-16.02.6 works well here. The double quote in sns looks extra indeed but sns works here with and without firewall (no wifi though)

Desktop switching works fine but I think should also have GUI in jwm desktop.
It may be better to get a menu entry under Setup (not Desktop).
You might also want to just `sed -i' rox configuration through a single script that will check /etc/witndowmanager and move/change things around (default to lxde if not jwm). Will be easier to give it a .desktop file.

MSCW update works well.

I get the feeling 03-N may not be so "experimental"

[Marv]

I removed the extra double quotes from line 796 in sns and unpacked/repacked the main SFS with tha change ( also combined the lx is starting and the repo nag splashes for esthetic reasons ). I'm posting from a pristine boot of that on the Pentium ipw2200 wireless laptop after connecting with absolutely no issues using sns. The ipw2200 isn't the easiest duck in the row so I'm pleased. It chose the correct wext driver and didn't complain about the ipw2200 being non-WPA. And it's doing the best it can with the ipw2200 dropsies.

Code: Select all

# cat /var/log/messages | grep carrier

I removed the extra double quotes from line 796 in sns

Hi @Marv

I'm afraid that the removal of the " at the end of line 796 in /usr/local/simple_network_setup/sns was not sufficient to get my wifi working - I need a dhcpcd.conf in /etc for it to work:

ln -s frisbee/dhcpcd.conf /etc/dhcpcd.conf

should do the trick pro-tem

The " removal does however make sns work correctly in that the useful page with choices for firewall and making sns default appears when it is removed.

sns is part of rootfs-skeleton so it needs to be updated in woof-ce....ahhh Mav has beaten me to it

@Marv: There is no Feb. 29th where you live? Having your time one day in the future might mess up some https certificates.

[peebee]

However...........

fixing sns has exposed that sns does not interface correctly with the new firewall - so further work is needed OR starting firewall needs to be removed from sns....

Hmmm.. Pups clock says 02/29/2016 and the correct time; However I was doing a lot of rebooting pfix=ram and may not have had the timezone set correctly. Anyway, I'm leaping even if the trout aren't.

Try this patch for SNS to interact with the new firewall - untested (attached).

From CLI in the dir where you downloaded.

Code: Select all

# gunzip  sns_fw.patch.gz
# (cd / && patch -p0) < sns_fw.patch

[Marv]

@01micko,
Quick test (I'm working on a Pentium M so I don't want to unsquash/squash but I do want to work on a first boot..): Patched sns, saved to Data drive. Pristine boot of 16.02.6, copied patched sns in before running quick setup. Didn't tick firewall box, connected using sns (wpa on ipw2200 worked fine). Dialog box explaining firewall appeared as it should. Leaving firewall box ticked there and continuing opened the firewall setup box and set up firewall. Guess that's a yep from here.

[Marv]

A conditional yep! The extra double quote at the end of what winds up as line 803 after your patch has to be removed (see 7 posts up). I had already removed it in the sns file in my SFS that loaded and then was patched so I didn't catch that when the patch was applied. With it in, the nag/dialog box re the firewall never displays.

[01micko]

Thanks Marv. the patch should have applied to the updated SNS (without the stray '"' ) .

Anyway mavrothal has fixed that upstream so I'll commit the firewall changes so all future woof-ce puppies get the fix.

[peebee]

Many thanks everybody for squishing the sns bugs - the new improved version will be in the next build....

which will still be "experimental" @mav because slackware-current / slackware-14.2 is still a moving target (but these builds are providing evidence that there won't be any show-stoppers when it does appear).

Also, I think that any "non-experimental" version should await 01micko's initiative to do away with xorgwizard-automatic?

Attached is version #2 of the desktop environment switcher to hopefully take on board @mav's comments above. There is now a menu item which can be used both to switch to jwm from lxde and in jwm to return to lxde (xwin startlxde also still works to return).

Cheers

Hi Mick

I've done a test build with:
BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;4a49bf5;2016-03-01 12:15:40 +1000'

sns now works correctly but the firewall-ng setup window does not appear - there is a flash suggesting that it does open, but immediately closes again as the sns window closes....

Cheers
peebee

[01micko]

Sorry Peter;

@ line 844 replace rxvt -e firewallinstallshell with "$FW_EXEC"

- include the quotes.

Fixed upstream.

Yes is mistyped in the pinstall script of gpicview-0.2.4-i686.pet used in slacko.

There is
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... slk600.pet
in the 14.1 repo
but it hasn't found its way into
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/Pa ... 1-official

Needs somebody with ibiblio access to update......

Hopefully the slk600 version has fixed the problem?

p.s. what is the typo????

p.p.s as gpicview is an lxde component it should probably be coming from a compat repo rather than a pet??
e.g. http://ponce.cc/slackware/slackware-current/lxde/

[01micko]

The shebang is wrong.

gpicview-0.2.4-i686.pet is reuploaded with fixed pinstall.sh. Don't worry about the slk version, had the same bug.

Installing kde games broke alsa, can still play music with applications
that use oss.

Set up wireless with sns but had problem with it dropping out so used
network wizard and it's working fine since then.

Added chromium_48.0.2564.109+pepper_20.0.0.306_lx.sfs, changed line 131
in the chromium.desktop file to Exec=/usr/bin/chromium -user-data-dir=/root/spot
Changed the hidden /root/.spot-status file to chromium=false and then
ran QuickSetup first-run settings to have chromium run as spot.

I signed into my google account and imported my bookmarks etc into
chromium, then signed out of my google account.

It's working pretty well apart from the alsa problem

EDIT: unloading the devx solved the alsa problem.
