Slackware for Pandora 14.1

[bukkit]

Hm, I did a slackpg update, then a slackpkg upgrade-all and since that didn't do anything, a slackpgk reinstall xscreensaver.

That reinstalled xscreensaver-5.22-arm-2.tgz, but I still get the complaint screen on every X start.

I read the developer removed that stupid nag screen meanwhile...

Strange, the update should have bring you the 5.29 and no more message.

Maybe grab it manually and su - , then upgradepkg it ?

Did a new try with Slackware 14.1-6. This time the sound is working after boot. I am very pleased.

Thanks for the good work. One thing I was aware of : after sleep and back the LED for wifi is on (but wlan is off. I check this the next days.

Edit : after reboot the wifi LED problem has gone.

Good news : Smplayer 2 is working   for videos (not for DVB-T)

One thing I found with thunar : when I tried to copy a lot of bigger files at once from one SD to another (Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v) I get a lot of errors like " can't ... (don' remember) " after some percent are copied . Sometimes at 30% or after retry at 70%. So I tried with my PC and everything worked.

Then I tried with Beesoft Commander - also working. Only with thunar is a problem. Maybe someone can check this.

I hope you make an image that will be usable in Pyra when the time comes. I'd love to have this as my main OS. I've been using Salix for half a year now after getting too frustrated with Arch, and I used pure Slackware before deciding I was too lazy to be a true Slacker.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I never had a copy problem so far.

File too big for fat 32 ?

Yeah, as soon as I got a Pyra ^^.

 

[joachim]

the files are not so big : 300 MB or 50MB - just some of them at once or only one if bigger

just tested again

- from SD with ext2 to SD fat32  no problem

- from SD ext2  to SD via Cardreader ext2 ok

- from CardReader ext2 to SD fat32 - "error by joining  file" (after 100 of 640MB)

-                "                     to SD ext2   same error after copying 80MB of 640

after repeating the copying the error is at another position, sometimes working

btw : the thing with the wifi LED after sleep is back again

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Can't tell. Maybe your cards.

Yeah, I have to look at this. Probably with the next -current.

Thanks for reporting.

I'm currently uploading a new rootfs.

It includes the latest changes from official Zaxxon 171, kernel, pndlibs, pndmanager etc., and also a newer version of Firefox.

And of course latest Slackware ARM patches.

It now includes glshim in /opt/glshim/lib/libGL.so with the blessing of lunixbochs, thanks to him.

Upload finished in approx 4 hours.

 

[ingoreis]

Thx for Info,i will download it

Newest Things and Glshim sounds very good

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Hehe !

Upload complete.

 

[joachim]

That sounds nice. I would like to try but without new install. Can I update like OS update in SZ?

And what can I do to migrate SL4P from one card to a bigger one - just dd and then resize the partition ?

Thanks for help.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

You can update, but it's better to reinstall from scratch.

Yup dd should work.

What I found so far with 14.1-6 : Some programs that need java (TV-Browser and MediathekView) sometimes won't start completely the first time so I have to kill them     and restart two or three times.

Same is when Seamonkey or Palemoon are already running - no complete start and stopping before opening prog window.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Although I ship an old openJDK, you can install the "official" java with this procedure :

Seamonkey is fine here.

 

[joachim]

Thanks for the info. After installing new java none of both were starting :-(

Here is out from Mediathek (part)

both say  /usr/lib/java/bin/java not found in line 7

I have a file java with about 6kB here. Now what?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Don't know.

Even the #!/bin/bash: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden is strange.

 

[joachim]

Can I get back to the old version somehow?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Uninstall the package you've just installed and reinstall OpenJDK (within gslapt for example).

 

[joachim]

Ok removed the package but when trying to install old version I get checksum error after download with gslapt so won't work. I tried with wget but get error file not found.

And one thing I found with FBReader : after starting it sets my clock to 1h plus and when I change back and go to sleepmode it will change back again 1h plus.
