Congrats!! Well done 01micko on a really great release - I downloaded as soon as you posted and have been using it all day, found no problems to report as such..

The 'nv' driver worked for me now, sound too, and also Nvidia-173 works fine Did not need Xvesa once

I think that the PPM, default repo, gtkdialog4, pmusic2, SlickPet etc, first boot friendliness and ease of use are great!!

It's a shame the defaults-changer is not installed, I missed it.. I thought that Barry added it to Woof, but I got a .pet lying around, so no problem for me..

Also, maybe you could cheat a little and re-upload the latest Puppyphone as psip-1.2RC.pet - so that SlickPet actually does download the very latest...

Xorg setup doesn't have i810 driver necessary for use
on my Dell Pentium M laptop.

Any resolution choice causes a narrowed screen.

Vesa causes system freeze.

Frugal installation to an ext4 partition. I just upgraded my 4fs save file from RC2 and it works perfectly, although I had to manually choose the nividia driver. The problem I noted with RC2 has been corrected. Next is to upgrade my Full HD installation which will be my main pup.

Great,
Jim

It turns out that there is still a problem with shutdown on the version with Kernel 2.6.39.6. Above report was using Kernel 2.6.39.4. I tried copying /usr/sbin/shutdownconfig from the version that shutdown works on, however, the problem still exists. Otherwise the Kernel 2.6.39.6 version works great.

installed 5.3pae frugal to ext4 on dual core p6100 hp. broadcom wifi driver auto-detected and connection made without issue with sns. mesa installed from slickpet.

everything tried works! including shutdown poweroff does poweroff.

I really like Slacko. It feels polished, it has the option to use all available space on the save file, overall very nice. Two issues I've had with it. Usually touchpad on my netbook works pretty well with default puppy setting, but with slacko had to turn everything up because touchpad response and movement was terribly slow compared to other puppies. But that I could fix. Much bigger issue is that I cannot use my favorite browser, Chromium, very well. My download bar is invisible, hiding behind puppy's toolbar at the bottom. Also blocking my down arrow button for scrolling down the page. That is the one real problem I found. Otherwise it looks good.

edit--forget the Chromium thing. It seems that Chromium installs and opens fully maximized and that hides the lower portion of the controls, just needs to be maximized at normal.

Seems the extra deja vu fonts are not in the repository, unable to download.
Also would be nice to have the liberty fonts.

Hi,

reported this for Slacko B4 before http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 542#567542, same in Slacko 5.3 (THANKS 01micko, great!):

Booting an installing (pupsave file okay). Setting to german language and keyboard layout.

Now: every boot LANG=de.UTF-8 but keyboard layout is US. After restarting X, german keyboard layout is available. Next start: again the same...

I'm not familiar with the system callings (init.d). Can't say, if for example /etc/profile is going correct at boot time.

Ideas?

gcmartin:

In response to your personal message, I have tested the Talking Clock script with Slacko but had a problem which I have now fixed.

It now functions correctly, it can be downloaded at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 453#571453.

Please try it I think you will like this, it's in keeping with puppy with simplicity and small size and feel free to modify it to suit you needs.

AWESOME!

This is with the ati-fglrx pet installed.

The tray clock.
Best I can find is it is a 24 hr clock setting only.
I guess you will need to install a different clock program.
Like Pupclockset

I have installed Slack Puppy 5.3 on hard disk ( frugal). After rebooting, I have missed desktop application Icons and Hard drive partition Icons. It just shows Triangle in the place of programs, etc. How to restore the programs Icons. I have noticed this problem in Warry 5.2 also. Please help me.

1. Updated to Slacko-5.3 from Slacko-5.2.97-k2.6.37.6-smp
The update went smoothly, the new Slacko is looking good and working well, except...

2. Psip32 version 1.2 freezes if/when I attempt to configure it for use.
I'm using 8-year-old desktop hardware [ASUS A7A266 mobo].
