Slackware inside Pandora.

[Linux-SWAT]

So here's the new -current rootfs v7.

Adding to the previous post, the gksu problem is also not solved.

So feel free to test and report.

I'm uploading a new -current rootfs v8.

Wifi now reworks, and i managed to install a brand new omapfb driver, some xorg.conf editing was necessary.

Optimized MPlayer is back.

Gksu is also working back as i switched from Slim to GDM. I'll work on a custom theme, default one is ugly.

Many updates, like PNDManager, pndlibs, network manager etc.

Basically, it's back to a usable state, i only need to fix the pandora button function chooser.

Upload finished in ~3 hours.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Upload finished, did that meanwhile:

A new -current rootfs v9 is out !

http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=sl4p%2Fsl4p-current%2Frootfs

Everything is ok, but i'm not happy with gdm, as it's not using user's .xinitrc .

Also, removables drives mountpoint is not deleted when the media is ejected. Will be fixed with udisks2 patch.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Ok, found how to "fix" gdm under Slackware, ln -s the .xinitrc to .xsession, and select User Dot xsession as default.

Then as usual, launch xwmconfig to select a GUI.

A new -current is uploading, shipped with KDE.

You can grab it in about ~25 mn.

I'm now waiting for the stable release of Slackware ARM 14.1.

Then i'll do checks, mass compilations, etc.

BTW, i wrote an article for ekianjo's blog:

Downloading now! 

Thanks so much for all your work on SL4P -- probably my favorite project to follow on the Pandora.

I've been showing off my Pandora w/ SL4P at work -- people just amazed at all you can do with it.

I really enjoyed your write-up as well.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Thanks ^^.

Did big files copies on my CC, from the network or SD to SD, no problem encountered.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I've just finished one week of compilations: more than 450 packages are ready for the next release.

does pndmanager work with the new release?

 

[Asiyura]

I'll wait for the next release of Sl4p to try it for the first time

I hope that I'll be able to build Haxe, Neko and their dependencies on it.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It always worked. The problem comes when no .pnd SD card is in.

I asked the devs, but anybody can take a look at it.

[ekianjo]

ok, you better mention that in the wiki then.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Not if the issue is fixed.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Last -current-12 is out.

http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=sl4p%2Fsl4p-current%2Frootfs

Many packages added to the rootfs, all 450 custom ones available, newest kernel, newest c64_tools, newest pandora scripts, many fixes etc....

One glitch: Abiword has no menu icons :/. Have to look at that.

It's a kind of release candidate at this point.

 

[ekianjo]

Linux-SWAT, just to confirm, is it possible to update to the latest -current from Slackware itself, or do you suggest wiping up the card altogether and restart from scratch ? 

 

[Linux-SWAT]

You have to wipe the card.

I've suffered a massive hard drive crash after Xmas.

Took me a while to recover data.

SL4P-current is back, and i resumed the work on SOLEIL.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Last days/weeks before 14.1 release.

As usual, i'm lastly trying to compile Libre Office, especially because abiword has an icon bug, and i really don't want to ship SL4P without proper document editor.
