CHANGELOG
Changes comparing to slax-remix-v05:
1) New kernel - 2.6.33.2
2) kernel config:
- all zen stuff is gone
- 'CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=' is set to 'n' which allows to bump udev to version 151
- KMS enabled by default on Intel i915 driver - xf86-video-intel-2.11.0 needs it anyway
- removed experimental opensource Ralink rt2800pci driver (thanks to andre for help)
- added bootsplash patch (ophiry request)
- added compcache patch (mhead request)
3) Boot folder
- cmdline in slax.cfg is fixed now (credits: jlmcp, ahz)
- new Syslinux scheme by Bicephale and Blaze
- updated busybox mdev applet in initrd.lz - required by 'CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED='n'
- PXE-boot should be working now: updated /boot/pxelinux.cfg/default and fixed permissions on /slax directory
- livecd.sgn is replaced by slax-remix-$ver.sgn - linuxrc modified accordingly (thanks to bour59 for suggestion)
- added nice bootsplash theme to initrd.lz
4) 001-core with merged 008-extra-stuff:
- bumped all packages to slackware-current: 20th of April (except of mc which is converted from zenwalk repo)
- added lynx text mode webbrowser - useful in case of troubles with xorg (Bicephale request)
- added slackyd package manager
- added bonaparts 'Slax Module Center' - beta version but still great piece of software!
- added 'splash' utility
- added radeon firmware package
- removed device-mapper package - it's now included in lvm2 (thanks to tonio for bug report)
- added 'slax' to /etc/hosts file (credits: HughJohnson)
- tweaked /etc/rc.d/rc.S file to allow automounting of LVM partitions during boot time (thanks tonio for bug report)
- switched to 'full sq4 system' (go2sq4 request)
- fixed updating of dependencies during boot - will be run only when necessary
- squashfs4-tools updated to latest version from cvs - prev version could give segfault during conversion of many modules at the same time.
- mloop updated (jayflood)
- introduced Language-Selection Tool (half of credits goes to Bicephale)
- sns-tool bumped to the latest version: added support for WPA2, hidden essids, ad-hoc mode, custom MAC addresses (many thanks to Bill Gayds for suggestions and help)
- added ndiswrapper (crashman request)
- updated remix FAQ
5) 002-xorg
- bumped all packages to slackware-current: 20th of April - xorg-server-1.7.5!
- xf86-video-ati-6.13.0 and xf86-video-intel-2.11.0 are ported from zenwalk repo
- changed default GTK+ theme to Neutrino in GTK2-slax-theme package - because of bug with radeon driver
- removed xf86-video-newport, xf86-video-xgi and xf86-video-xgixp which were causing black screen after 'X -configure' command
- added workaround for nv driver bug to xconf (Bill-Gayds)
6) 003-desktop
- fixed konqueror conversion feature - all sq4 packages will be named *.sq4.lzm
- new ksplash theme (many thanks to Blaze for this amazing theme!)
- new wallpaper, some icons and general design changes - i dont accept any complains about it :)
7) 006-devel
- bumped all packages to slackware-current: 20th of April
- checkinstall replaced by bpkg (thanks jcsoh for this nice finding)
- added autoconf and automake packages (pietrek request)
- all files from '/usr/src/linux/include/generated' copied to '/usr/src/linux/include/linux' to allow some older app compile without error - ie dazuko
- moved here all *.a files from other modules
8) 007-firefox
- firefox updated to 3.6.3
9) Download section
- 008-extra-stuff is gone - merged with 001-core package
- Vbox packages are built correctly - no more /etc/password and /etc/group here (thanks to HughJohnson)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UGLY HACKS
1) 001-core - 'mount' binary is used from older util-linux-ng 2.14.1 package to avoid annoying lag during boot time (newer mount binaries tries to mount empty CD/DVD five times! - anyone know how to change it?)
SLAX REMIX KNOWN BUGS:
- wpa_supplicant in v06 is a part of sns-tool (compiled myself from sources) and is short of wireless 'N' support. Solution: please use external module if you need this feature (bug closed)
- /boot/liloinst.sh (line 73) has 'initrd.gz' string and should be 'initrd.lz' (bug closed)
- some apps like crontab or sudo requires 'vi' editor which is missing in remix, but avail in initrd. to fix this bug just make a symlink (bug closed): ln -s /mnt/live/bin/busybox /usr/bin/vi
- jayfloods modtools conversion to sq4 doesn't work as i messed it up after switching to 'full sq4 system'. Workaround: use konqueror for conversion (bug closed)
- bonaparts 'Slax Module Center' is no longer working correctly as package index has been changed by the author. Solution - use latest version from official thread (bug closed): http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=60857
- qt headers and 'moc' application are missing from 006-devel package. Solution - activate this package: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mjznzwd4hig/qt_png_compilation_fix.sq4.lzm
and then copy all files from '/root/qt_png/usr/lib/qt-3.3.8b' to '/usr/lib/qt-3.3.8b' in your system (bug closed)
- gpicview is crashing during opening an jpeg file. Soultion - new gpicview module recompiled against latest libjpeg update: http://www.mediafire.com/file/njmknmz4ukz/gpicview-0.2.1-i486-fanthom.sq4.lzm
(bug closed)
any help with resolving issues is greatly appreciated
What you can find there?
- 006-devel package with crippled-sources v2.6.33.2
- fglrx-10.4 for AMD/Ati HD series GPU's
- VirtualBox v3.1.6
- Virtualbox Guest Additions v3.1.6
- clean initrd.lz waiting for your own bootsplash theme :)

@Blaze89
you have just found first bug :) i forgot to change symlinks in /lib/modules/2.6.33.2. You can fix it easily: rm /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/build && rm /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/source
ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/build && ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/source
I'll re-upload the iso tonight. People who downloaded v06 already can just remaster 001-core - i wont add anything new to it. Sorry for troubles.
@Bicephale
interesting - will have a look on it.
@tonio
waiting for good news!
@em
well done :) will add it to the initial post. Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:\\
re-uploading new ISO, please wait until done.
EDIT2://
New 'Fixed symlinks' ISO path (old image is deleted):
root@slax:~# gparted
/usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libparted-1.8.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root@slax:~#
@andre5775 and cichlasoma
parted was updated to version 2.2 try to update gparted too.
@mhead
this is from compcache website: Kernel 2.6.33 will have partial support for compcache. So, if you are using this kernel, please do not use in-tree compcache version. Use compcache version as available from this project's download page. Kernel 2.6.34 will (hopefully!) will have complete support.
so you still need to compile module manually.
wget http://compcache.googlecode.com/files/compcache-0.6.2.tar.gz
unpack and read README inside (dont forget to uncomment '#define CONFIG_SWAP_FREE_NOTIFY' in compcache/compat.h)
build and then 'insmod ramzswap.ko num_devices=1 disksize_kb=100000'. Works for me :)
@Blaze89
because /usr/src/linux/ was always part of 006-devel. activate it and you'll be grand. Sound: i had similar situation when my webcam microphone was loaded before main soundcard. If it's your situation then search google how to set priorities for 2 soundcards in alsa. If it's not your situation then try alsaconf and show me lspci and lsmod.
hi Blaze,
1) you mean beep or something? do you have sound in general (BMP, KDE, mplayer)?.
2) all language files and man pages are removed (including MC). Use Language-Selection-Tool to download them back and create small (about 6MB) package for your language only. After that - MC will display menu correctly.
3) LVM warning is fine. Seems that you dont have any LVM partitions in your system. look here: http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/8727/snap00001.jpg
Everything is under control :)
Cheers
EDIT:\\
@andre5775 and cichlasoma
for unresolved dependencies: activate all modules you want and just run 'slackyd -u' and then 'slackyd -d'. Three dependencies are missing in standard remix-v06: Found 3 missing dependencies:
libpython2.6.so.1.0 required by:
--> Package: alsa-lib-1.0.22-i486-1 (/usr/lib/alsa-lib/smixer/smixer-python.so)
--> Package: libxml2-2.7.6-i486-1 (/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libxml2mod.so)
--> Package: rpm-4.8.0-i486-1 (/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpm/_rpmbmodule.so)
--> Package: rpm-4.8.0-i486-1 (/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpm/_rpmmodule.so)
libgcj.so.10 required by:
--> Package: gettext-tools-0.17-i486-4 (/usr/lib/gettext/gnu.gettext.GetURL)
--> Package: gettext-tools-0.17-i486-4 (/usr/lib/gettext/gnu.gettext.DumpResource)
libmysqlclient.so.16 required by:
--> Package: perl-5.10.1-i486-1 (/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1/i486-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so)
this is fine: those packages are too big to include them in remix iso.
I recommend to run 'slackyd' command and check all options for this program.
1. Yes I mean beep sound. I have sound in all players.
2. Very interesting :) I dont use Language-Selection-Tool (: it is not terrible for me - CP1251 ;)
3. Yes I don't have LVM partitions.
@Blaze
1) sorry - probably was removed when i was cleaning the system. if you really need it i can try to find missing file.
2) LST has option for CP1251 and many more. It's worth trying (on fresh mode).
3) warnings are ok - included in kernel sources so cant do much about it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated FAQ to reflect resolving dependencies question.
PAE version should be ready today.
@Bicephale
as you wish :)
but i was busy last few days and need to take some rest so no more changes in this week i guess (i know that 2.6.33.3 arrived today - one day too late). Still - suggestions welcome :)
---------------------------------------------------------
remix-v06-PAE: http://www.mediafire.com/file/dxono5fg0qh/slax-remix-v06-PAE.iso
md5sum: a86f1436a8746c2d87fed1d674f2bba0
There's clean initrd.lz in Optional folder for anybody who wants to make his own bootsplash theme for PAE version.
1) could you re-upload this module without files in /lib/modules/2.6.33.2 folder? especially modules.dep cause it might confuse slax's 'updating modules during boot time mechanism'.
I'll explain it little bit:
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules is run during boot time and searches for kernel modules that are never than modules.dep file.
if something is found then 'depmod -a' is issued, if not - then booting goes without this command being issued.
In the scenario when user have ati or nvidia driver created before your package, this service wont be run and fglrx driver wont be loaded. Documentation says:
Here is a sample list of few files which should never be included in your module:
/etc/init.d
/etc/rc.d/rc.S
/etc/rc.d/rc.M
/etc/rc.d/rc.K
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
/lib/modules/2.6.x/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.6.x/modules.alias
/etc/ld.so.conf
/etc/ld.so.cache
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/shadow
big thanks and waiting for re-uploaded package :)
-------------------------------------------------
EDIT://
i have removed 'officially' from the name of thread cause it can really confuse someone about this unofficial release :)
Hi,
modified, tested and reuploadet, I'm sorry but this is
a bad habit that I took in current slax as firmware loading is
a pain.... I should probably add that this module might only used
if nothing else work.
@fanthom and all the other remix contributors:
Thanks a lot for all your hard work, good ideas and enhancements.
I hope Tomas will reuse this experience for Slax 7 :) ?!
Now here is my first feedback for Slax Remix 06 that I briefly tested this morning
(booting CD ISO on VMware using Always Fresh Menue Option):
I like the transparent KDE theme, the new icons and the splash screen :)
I found that vi is missing? Is that on purpose to safe space? What about busybox?
I found that root and boot directories have 401:401 ownership instead of root:root
I found that root and boot directories have only directory permission (d---------) instead of e.g. 755
When I try install Slax Remix 06 via slax6-install.kmdr on harddisk
(http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=11806)
it fails at booting with kernel panic (http://i41.tinypic.com/2hd7jwn.png)
Until Slax Remix 02 I had no problems, but since then I run into this problem.
Yeah, I know some think Slax is not thought for installing, but I think it is perfect since it is small
and so far I ran it on USB, CD, HDD and VMware/VirtualBox :)
I will experiment more and hope you can help me with my issues?
@nimh
compat-wireless added to Download section with proper comment.
wpa_supplicant in v06 isn't standard slackware package - it's a part of sns-tool (compiled myself from sources) that explains why nl80211 is missing. Will recompile this package or go with standard one in v07 - thanks for bug report.
@Ponce
too late Ponce - cant afford to wait 50 days for next Zen patch. Maybe in v07 i'll be back with Zen stuff - thanks guys for your work anyway.
@Syntux
1) sorry, vi wont be pulled - default mcedit is more friendly for new users and space is important (v06 has 183MB only but i raised blocksize to 256K as it is in slax-6.1.2)
2) i have checked permissions and ownership in v06 and v06-PAE and everything is fine. must be your other modules, /rootcopy doing this?
3) to install v06 on HD please have a look at linus72 HOWTO: http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=60375
Regards,
fanthom
EDIT:\\
@Mithrandil
tonio asked me for nouveau before - no problem can do both, but need a link to slackware compatible packages first. Can you provide them?
but, following zen (and cks before) since years now, gotta say that their releases are worth the waiting time (sometimes it can take a few days or they jump a 2.6.x.x release, but it happens rarely).
if you're in a hurry you can get the patch from git.
just a hint, nothing more. :)
P.S. it would be nice to have elvis (much smaller than vim, 600k is the slackware package).
@fantom
1) I can live with mcedit and without vi or install vi when needed.
I was just curious why it was missing? Don't you take busybox and link vi to it?
2) Indeed I copied some shellscripts in /rootcopy/root/bin/ and created a new iso image to boot from.
Still I thought original Slax uses root:root ownership and executable permissions for everything in /rootcopy?
And why is /boot also concerned when I use /rootcopy/root/bin/slax6-install.kmdr e.g.?
3) I use slax6-install.kmdr or bt_cl_installer.sh which do basically the same as described by linus72.
This worked fine until Slax Remix 02. I can boot with Slax Remix 06, but run into kernel panik trouble.
Can't it be related to the kernel somehow or that I try installing on a virtual HDD in VMware?
@Ponce
sorry, no elvises no jimmi hendrixes - just mcedit :)
@Syntux
1) busybox is in initrd only. you can get vi by chrooting into /mnt/live :)
2) dont know - didnt use this program yet.
3) might be related to bootloader settings - use 'root = /dev/sda8' instead of 'root = /dev/ram0'
@Blaze89
nice stuff, will try it :)
can we get this four-leaf clover little bit more on the right side?
@bonapart
i have already answered in 'Slax Module Center' thread. thanks
in poulsbo pack some files might have wrong paths in /usr folder (wasn't sure where to put them). I'm not taking any responsibility for damage in your PC's :) Use on your own risk!
Will test it as soon as I can, I have been kind of BUSY :(, I just got to remaster the disk, add the 006 devel module to build the modem driver, at least one built, the other one I have to work at it :(
So far, This version of Slax remix is the best one yet. I hope Tomas is watching and keeping an eye on your work. You have made tremendous strides and we have to be very thankful for your work. I will test the nouveau driver as soon as I can, In Fedora the developers have done away(obsoleted) the nv driver and gone with the nouveau driver. I have used the official nvidia drivers and the nouveau drivers although not up there have made great advancements too!
still struggling with the kernel panic when doing a full install with VMware :(
Anyways, when trying a frugal install with VMware, I found the following small bug in /boot/liloinst.sh (line 73):
initrd=$MYMNT/boot/initrd.gz should be corrected to:
initrd=$MYMNT/boot/initrd.lz
Cheers,
Syntux

what a quick answer! :-D
gonna test it as soon as the download is ready :-)
can i know where did you get packages for kernel-2.6.33 and new drm?
@fanthom:
Unfortunately I also got some problem with a frugal install on VMware, but probably a different reason :(

@tonio
thanks for your words. any log files for nouveau issue? (dmesg and Xorg.0.log)
@Blaze89
nice - can 'Slax' world be a little bit smaller?
@Mithrandil
nouveau and poulsbo are ported from gentoo (had to cheat my gentoo box to accept slax kernel instead of gentoo-sources) and for 95% they should work. Any feedback for poulsbo driver?
@bonapart and Blaze
AMD didn't provide support for xorg-server-1.7.x yet. fglrx 10.4 will bring it to us, but AMD is very late this month. Hopefully tomorrow this package will be ready.

very nice work on 06 but my volume is very low i can change this with alsamixer but how can i save the settings in a module thanks in advance.
V0.6 is not booting here, for some reason. Tried a frugal install, but it goes into an endless loop
"linuxrc: line 26: usleep: not found"
MD5Sum matches for the iso.
Am I to assume that you have built-in code that forces sgnfile to be the filename found in /slax? Does that kill the ability to use that cheatcode?
I guess I'll burn a cdrw, try that next.
+++++++
Edit: woops, my mistake; I left "rw" off the kernel parms line and saw an error mess I've never seen before. Sorry about that. Answered my own question about the sgnfile.
For any others who care: it finds itself OK on my /dev/sdb4 with just from=directoryname, and the ramdisk_size=6666 is not necessary on my machines. You can also leave off the splash= and quiet parms. I like to watch those messages.
@ebhomepc
adjust your mixer settings and then run 'alsactl store'. Copy /etc/asound.state file to your /rootcopy dir and add 'alsactl restore' command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

Triggering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger
since slax remix I can't boot using slax again, btw.. Linux-Mint can boot without problem. Any suggestion ?
1.(EDIT , ignore this , it is added form remix 05 , havent read carfully , sorry :)
i have a sugestion, it seems that zen kernel is missing Magic Sys Request Option
this enables ,on a graceful manner, to exit&reboot from slax when system locks'up :D
(it is enabled on slax not enabled on zen-2.6.32 not sure for zen-2.6.33)

does this do the trick ?

and not util i do it manualy 'dhcpcd -n eth0' , i think this is experimental driver ,causes issues on other distros too , not bugfix request just to make a note)
@tonio
1) there was a problem with mediafire yesterday. Think it's fixed now so you can try to download nouveau package once more.
2) will try to symlink vi in v07 - thanks for bug report.
@Blaze89
1) like the image :) but would like to have 'Slax' name in the middle of the picture.
2) can you go to 'X' through 'init 4' after that? does it hang or anything?
@sonsoft
sorry - have no idea how to fix it. I would try to run 'Linux-Mint' and check module through 'lsmod' command. blacklist all of them in remix and check if it can boot. In case of success, you could try to remove some drivers from blacklist file and do that again until you find buggy driver causing 'udevadm trigger' hang.
@the_greek
2) type 'modprobe configs' and you'll have an access to /proc/config.gz
4) will check if this issue exist on my Ati card.

nouveau and poulsbo are ported from gentoo (had to cheat my gentoo box to accept slax kernel instead of gentoo-sources) and for 95% they should work. Any feedback for poulsbo driver?
Unfortunately yes, as supposed it doesn't works :-( (freeze on startx)
i already tried the gentoo way several weeks ago, at the time of the thread on CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
@the_greek and Blaze
init 3/4 and kde log-off works for me perfectly in Virtualbox, also in real PC mode with 'fglrx' and opencource 'radeon' driver. Please try with basic remix modules only. If the error will be still there, try different GPU driver version.
@Mithrandil
i presume that psb-kmod is linked to drm-psb.ko Try to blacklist original 'drm' and load 'psb-drm' before X starts. BTW - did you try poulsbo on gentoo box? doest it work at all?
Now on remix_v6 and using the same procedure (except for drivers and firmware that are included in the release)
I can't find a way to make the stick work.

tried (blacklisted in /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf) and loaded the psb-drm but it is still hanging
(the last line of Xorg.0.log is) (II) Debug: psbSetup

about gentoo, it works... sometimes... i don't know why, but sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. There are some reference to unknown symbols, never tried with drm blacklisting yet, ill try asap, actually there is no psb-drm on my gentoo... gotta look for it :-)
In Slax 6.1.2 + dvb-007-3fix.lzm all cards works fine.

@Blaze
1) where's exactly error for 'Prof 7300 DVB-S/S2'?
2) Do you have enough free memory to run it? where can i get those application 'xskynet'? I would like to try it on my PC.
3) 'Unable to find libthread_db' - please try 'slackyd -d' to check if all dependencies ( except those 3 mentioned in FAQ answer 6 ) are resolved.
1- In the bottom panel, from left to right, Menu-K icon, quick launch icons, then I usually have 4 dontknowhowtonamethem, numbered form 1 to 4 to switch between the desktops.
2- no procedure; I simply load the same modules, but after tuning the stick when I select a channel the program closes. I'll make some other tests later, time to sleep now.
Issues ... I've now had at least two, maybe more old sq3 modules that work on Slax612 but are not converted correctly with the module-convert item under a right-click; major pieces of the old module are left out of the result. Two immediate examples, an old xmms, and a partimage I found somewhere. Extracting to a directory, and then converting that directory to sq4 module seems to work OK. Note, all conversions done on a linux [reiserfs] filesystem.
Converted a VLC 086e that works perfectly on Slax612, but is missing gui components on remix V0.6.
I wonder if the 'activate' routine needs to also run a ldconfig? Wouldn't cost much, I have encountered modules started that way that won't work without it. Shouldn't have to reboot to get this action.
@guttaslax
1) right-mouse click on task bar and choose 'Add aplet' -> Pager (cant say for sure cause i'm at work now)
2) could you run all applications using your stick in console and check the debug info? also waiting on andre5775 response.
@burninbush
1) very interesting... will you be able to give me download link for those 2 modules which were not converted properly? Also this VLC module. i'm courious what's causing this.
2) please giveme an example of module which needs 'ldconfig' run. Will try to do something with this.
@Blaze89
thanks - will try those applications tonight.
------------------------------------------------------
For everyone:
slax-remix bases on slackware-current and some modules downloaded from 'Slax Modlues Page' might not work or not work correctly.
For example: my GIMP-2.6.4 which i got somwhere (cant remember where - sorry) works great under Slax-6.1.2. Unfortunately it breaks itself and other GTK applications under Remix - cause it contains older version of libraries (glib i guess).
It is recommended to use 'slackyd' utility to download newest versions of programs which you want to use (conversion to sq4 will be required).
In Slax 6.1.2 (/usr/src/) is available a stripped down kernel source tree. This is a stripped down kernel source tree. It is INCOMPLETE!
It's used if you build a kernel modules for your devices,
but it can't be used to build completely new kernel.
If you need full kernel sources, detele all the directories here
and get the sources from http://www.kernel.org/
It's very convenient for compilation s2-liplianin (packpage dvb-007-3fix/mix.lzm)
It would be desirable to see in slax-remix.

@Mithrandil
can i get whole Xorg.0.log? please share your experience with poulsbo and gentoo. If it works for gentoo then must work for Slax too :)
it was working sometimes with an old kernel (may be 2.6.29 o 31, don't remember exactly the version), anyway, now i updated the system to the last portage version (xorg 1.7), installed zen-kernel-33-r1, and recompiled all the psb stuff x11-libs/libdrm-poulsbo-2.3.0_p9-r1
x11-drivers/psb-firmware-0.30_p3
x11-drivers/psb-kmod-4.41.1_p10-r1
x11-drivers/xf86-video-psb-0.32.0_p1
x11-libs/xpsb-glx-0.18_p4
all compile cleanly but when i try modprobe drm-psb i get: FATAL: Error inserting drm_psb (/lib/modules/2.6.33-zen1/.../drm-psb.ko): Invalid module format
may be due to broken /usr/lib/va/drivers/psb_drv_video.la (requires /usr/lib/libva.la)
broken /usr/lib/va/drivers/psb_drv_video.so (requires libva.so.0)
gotta try to install it, which is not in the portage tree
@Mithrandil
psb is problematic so, i would like to avoid porting packages from other distros anyway (see guttaslax issue with kaffeine). Once psb and nouveau gets into slackware-current repo i'll be happy to add it to the slax-remix release.
@guttaslax
sorry for being rude but i thought i have cure for this disease (slackyd). Now: 'wpa_supplicant-0.7.1-fanthom' was compiled from sources by me - like 'Mplayer' and 'extra firmware pack' - thats why they have 'fanthom' word in name (i can guarantee that they will work without extra dependencies needed). Looks like Blaze89 ported some apps from other distros which are not compatible with Slackware (nothing wrong with that, just makes some tasks more complicated). That's why 'slackyd' failed. In this case you can:
1) resolve missing deps manually
2) install kaffeine package and all required deps through 'slackyd' (recommended way)
type 'slackyd' in console to check how to use it - it's really friendly application.
Guttaslax
Unfortunately i know about this bug, when select module use non-kde path(i mean without system:// , use /mnt/ instead), i already working on this

Offtopic a bit fathom
but, was wondering how one might remaster remix 05 or 06?
I know I have to manually .lzm the filesystem using 4.0sq but what then?
do i have to copy everything from /mnt/live to the real installed system, then
manually run linux live scripts or how?
sorry if its too off-topic, but I still cannot successfully create my own aufs patched kernel,etc
and need a livecd kernel.
I asked before if you would consider making me a 686 2.6.33+ kernel and I understand if yoou dont want to
but if not could you please, in detail describe how one might make their own livecd kernel?
Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hi can some one please help me i have tryed to change the bootsplash using the plain inird.lz from 06 i read the FAQ and i just keep getting a syntex error help please.
@Blaze89
thanks for detailed info - i think that i found the error: libWand.so.10 required by:
--> Package: xine-lib-1.1.15-i386-1 (/usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.24/xineplug_decode_image.so)

Kaffeine is just a frontend for Xine and Xine is missing those two libraries. run 'slackyd -u' then 'slackyd -d' and download missing packages for Xine - you will find them in /var/slackyd dir and conversion from txz should be easy. After that - kaffeine 'should' work correctly. Please report back success/fail.
@linus72
1) easiest way is to use jayfloods tool, use option 'merge modules' and give all remix modules as a target, then unpack newly created one and run linux live scripts on it. beny should know how to do it in details.
2) i can send you bunch of patches which i used to build v06. On the other hand you can go with 2.6.33-zen2 which has more features than my kernel. Detailed procedure about kernel compilation can be found in first link from FAQ. Sorry - that's all what i can do for you at the moment.
@forum
could you post the error and full path to your bootsplash config file?
hi guttaslax ,i have found that in my system kaffeine version 0.8.8 don't work,try to downgrade to 0.8.7 version and run like a charm,now i have scanning satellite and seem run
hi fanthom,with modified LLS script with sq4 support the file inside initrd usr and driver are in sq4 or sq3,i have tried to do a dvd but don't run,initrd problem,i have upgrade to zen 2 version and i will try to a live dvd with it.

hi there is just a syntex errer when i iput the command in the terminal to patch the initrd the bath to my cfg is /etc/bootsplash/kde/bootsplash-640x480.cfg
A question from one of the dummies of the famous books.
I knew kaffeine was only a different frontend for xine, and xine itself is present in the system menu and can play miltimedia files, so:
why kaffeine can use my card and scan channels, and xine can't even see it?
why don't use just xine for this task (making it work properly)?
OK
Thanks fathom as i didnt even know about the kernel how to
Following the tutorial now and compiling:)
Now, I assume as beny says that a modified LLS 6.3.0 must be used for sq4
so how would I build a livecd using this kernel?
Only thing I changed from 06 remix config was 686 vs 486
As for remix06, its quite beautiful and the wallpaper's righteous!
hi guttaslax ,ok a weird thing happen if i click on one channel kaffeine closed,but if you load a vob, after you can read satellite channel and change all you want,i don't explain this but if you want view sat channel that is the way,a little bit strange way.
@fanhom
I run 'slackyd -u' then 'slackyd -d' and download missing packages for Xine.
I find them in /var/slackyd dir and conversion from txz in lzm format these packages (then activated lzm packages):
Then I try run kaffeine in gdb root@slax:~# cd /usr/bin/

about this youtube video posted above: did you use remix-v06 userland and kernel from slax-6.1.2 or it's full slax-6.1.2 tweaked to looking like remix?
i would like to know if it's kernel causing this or rather userland (programs and libs). Did it work in v05?
Also look at benys advice: ok a weird thing happen if i click on one channel kaffeine closed,but if you load a vob, after you can read satellite channel and change all you want
have no idea what the 'vob' is but seems that it works fine for beny. qt4 kaffeint might be also worth trying.
bonapart,i have kaffeine running on kde 4.4.2, the old kaffeine, and for play sat channel i have to do the trick of the read vob first.with kde 4.3.1 kaffeine run quite.
That's true, after opening an avi or mpeg video the dvb works, but when you stop the video the program closes.
Audio and video are out of sync (audio about 200ms before video) and I notice only 35 of 300 channels are discovered.
Must we live of workarounds?
@fanthom
xine has its own UI, available in Kmenu when you load a xine module.
EDIT
My mistake about channels; I selected my country and city, and that was the result.
The field must be left in AUTO (if supported).

Sorry to bother you, but I have a question, squashfs is not found in slax-remix, vonbiber's tool for creating modules does not work anymore. I have found a workaround luckily (reverting to old methods of creating slax modules worked ) but just a head's up or what replaces it(squashfs) Thanks in Advance.

Just a typo, I was looking at it wrong, mksquashfs is the command. Do I need to use mksquashfs3? That is what I should have wrote. Since I like to use vonbiber's slax module creator script, it uses mksquashfs to make modules, like
@ebhomepc
config file was created/modified under windows. do this: sed -i /etc/bootsplash/kde/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg -e 's/ctrl+v ctrl+m//g'
press 'ctrl+v ctrl+m' do not type it!
after this operation splash command should work.
@Blaze
try this:
'slackyd -s kaffeine' and then 'slackyd -g kaffeine-xx-xx-xx.txz'
did you try to open any video file before switching to dvb? seems that it works for beny and guttaslax.
@tonio
using 'mksquashfs3' will produce sq3 and conversion will be needed. better option is to remove '-lzmadic 256K' (as sq4-tools doesn't have it) and produce sq4 modules.

hi fanthom i think there is something strange,kaffeine work on kde 3.5.10, my kaffeine work quite on kde 4.3.1 with new kde don't work,i think there are libraries or anything against kaffeine,when i have installed 0.8.8. version, missing libraries been libcdio_paranoia bho!!the program don't run.
@fanthom
Thanks for your help with bootsplash i could not get the sed app to work so i redid the bootsplash.cfg in linux instead of windows and now it works good thanks.
I will like to add a big THUMBS UP to slax remix v06. I have happily run it using COPY2RAM option wo changes and have encountered no serious problems with it. It has also worked better than its predecessors, no major problems. Will test on other machines that I have too. On this one:

Try it with this module libcdio 0.81 - http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=3276
(The module libcddb 1.3.0-1 don't need)
While I think Slax Remix 06 is a really nice release (thank you again) it fails doing a frugal or full install.
This was once working flawlessly with Slax 6.1.2, 6.2 and until Slax Remix 02.
I tried to do a frugal and full install on latest VMware 7.x and on VirtualBox 3.1.6 but both failed because of different errors (see previous posts).
I am not 100% sure, but I guess full install fails due to some kernel issues and frugal due to some sgn file issues?
Can anybody please proove me wrong? I am willing to test even more, but I am stuck somehow :(
@burninbush
1) this is from 'activate' script: # update ld cache if new ld.so.conf/cache exists in the module
if [ -e "$MOD/etc/ld.so.conf" -o -e "$MOD/etc/ld.so.cache" ]; then
echo "Module contains ld.so.conf or ld.so.cache, updating libs cache..."
/sbin/ldconfig
fi
as you can see 'ldconfig' is run when /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/ld.so.cache exist in the module. I can force this but dont want to - lets force users to build modules correctly instead. post bug reports to the autors of those modules.
2) still waiting on examples of modules which cant be converted properly in konqueror.
@Blaze89
1) couldn't find xskynet in the rar archive provided, i'm getting this error during unpacking: 'Unexpected end of archive' - could you reupload it?
2) did kaffeine work for you after trying to play video file?
3) tomorrow i'll try to compile s2-liplianin with crippled-sources.
4) is there any other application which can play TV from satellite using dvb adapters? Could you test it? I need to be sure that it's not kernel fault.
@Syntux
i have tried frugal install in Vbox and i succed with IDE and SATA controllers. I got failure on SCSI cause drivers for scsi controllers are compiled as (M). Make sure that you choose SATA or IDE when doing frugal install in Vbox or Vmware. On the other hand you can try to add missing scsi drivers to clean initrd.lz - should work then.
Well, TV or not TV, I decided to switch to a persistent remix_v6, unpacked a brand new slaxsave.dat file (the 256M one), and rebooted.
All went fine, so I made all the usual personal changes (language, keyboard, no system sounds, some shortcuts on desktop).
At reboot, the system stops loading at "Mounting non-root local filesystem"; waiting about 15 minutes doesn't help;
it's not freezed, so I try CTRL-C and it goes on without problems and all is as it should be. Tested 4/5 times, I'm going to
repeat with a different size slaxsave, and no changes at all (other stuffs are anyway written, I see).
Did someone experience this outside there?
1. You need to have dvb-s/s2 device for run app skynet and internet transponder in skynet.ini for free interception of the traffic from satellite (=
For example: #Tricolor/Raduga Internet 36E
lnb=9750000,10750000,11700000
tuner=11766000,H,27500000,A
pids=1000
or #SkyDSL 7E
lnb=9750000,10600000,11700000
tuner=10845000,V,27500000,A
pids=100
.....
Look at this satellite with internet transponders http://www.lyngsat.com/ew3a.html
but new 003-desktop xorg-server-1.7.5 make inkscape crash when loads a png file.
Really don't load it.
Inkscape is not working with png files...related to gdk-pixbuf error.
Something in 003-desktop.lzm is wrong.In my opinion the problem is not Xorg.
Perhaps the change of default gtk theme?
In other way, konsole show this message ...
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (es_ES.ISO8859-15): No existe el fichero o el directorio
Previous version v05 don't have this problem following the faq.
Successfully tested on "ASUS AT5NM10-I" (Atom pineview D510 + NM10)
and a "Atom N270 + 945GME + ICH7" based Netbook.
Intel video drivers where working stable from remix-v04 on and somehow faster now in remix-v06
Nomore crashes and nomore warnings|errors in Xorg.0.log :-)
Brutalchess (maybe useful for 3d testing) http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=2329
is playable when reflections and shadows are turned off.
glxgears shows initial about 450 FPS and matches the full vertical refresh frequency when maximized.
On my netbook its initial just 220 FPS and maximized 55 FPS.
Mplayer (!) plays 720p and some 1080p HD mp4 videos nearly flicker-free (also on the netbook !)
but with a/v sync problems (i think thats not a slax issue).
I figured out some minor issues so far:
Widescreen native resolution:
The correct native widescreen resolution of 1440x900 for my SAMSUNG 943NW is available
but initially its set to just 1024x768, remix-v04 did initially set 1440x900
when using bootparam "i915.modeset=1"
On my netbook, having a native widescreen resolution of 1024x600 works OOTB.
Truecrypt: http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=3454
Cannot dismount a mounted volume, worked correct up to remix-v05
"device-mapper: remove ioctl failed: Device or resource busy command failed"
I need to do manually
root@slax:~# umount /media/truecrypt1
is there a simple way to fix that ?
btw: why do some USB sticks mount on "/media" and some others on "/mnt" dir ?
Sound-Mixer:
having Intel 82801G (ICH7) HDAC / Mixer: Realtec ALC662 rev1
on my Netbook there is initially no sound because the Headphone slider "PhoneOut" is set to zero.
I suggest a default value of 100% would be more useful, since the "PhoneOut" is
pre-routed to - and attenuated by the "master-volume".
network-conf:
this is an issue since the official slax 6.12 release.
When "/etc/resolve.conf" (DNS nameserver) is set by "network-conf", it is instantly
overwritten by "dhcpcd" as soon as the Interface is set up. If there is no DHCP server
then there are no nameserver entrys in it. For avoiding this i need to do
root@slax:~# kill -s SIGKILL $(pidof dhcpcd)
before running "network-conf" - I suggest "network-conf" should do that.

As i say libpng was updated, and program linked with old version can fail...
I sure that's recompilation will solve the problem
@fantom
i used old devel package from remix05, it produce bug due libpng update
@Bill-Gayds
Something tells me that you made a mistake somewhere.
Two tools can not be broken together...
I test it and it looks working
Can you describe what you were doing specifically , step-by-step?
Can anybody approve Bill-Gayds errors in my and jayflood module tools?
@fanthom:
Thanks for investigating :). I could now also do a frugal install on VMware with IDE instead of SCSI and on VBox with SATA.
Unfortunately full install still fails on VMware with IDE or VBox with SATA and I get the following error: http://i40.tinypic.com/n1rlt4.png
Any clue why this could be?
I would like to also try out your hint to include scsi drivers in a clean initrd.lz. Not 100% sure yet, how I could do this?
Did you completely leave scsi drivers out? So I guess I have to rebuild the kernel? Any hint for me?
By the way did you include the tiny bugfix for liloinst.sh in /boot in your list for next Slax Remix version (see my previous post)?
hi fanthom,i have problem with remake initrd,i have this warning:no free loop device, when i mount the initrd in a folder,don't have been solved in slax v5 and slax v6,in old version can i change only a few of file,and the issue is full disk,refuse to write data,
@guttaslax
256M slaxsave.dat is too small - i got it full very quickly and system stopped booting. try bigger one or stick with /rootcopy - best option - IMO.
@Blaze89
still working on crippled-sources and s2 package
@bonapart
1) do you have this error or similar when launching your application?: libpng warning: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.25
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.4.1
i got it when was compiling kaffeine from sources. The problem is that i dont have png.h from libpng-1.2.25 at all. I presume that qt3 was compiled against libpng-1.2.x branch and this is causing an error. If true, than we have a big problem here.
2) 'Slax Module Center' is no longer working correctly as package index has changed - will add this to 'Known bugs' section and recommend updating to latest version from your thread.
@gusterrapolis
1) please try to upgrade inkscape as all applications must be recompiled against libpng-1.4.x. Check slackware-current changelog: ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-current/ChangeLog.txt
2) use language-selection-tool to switch to your language.
@Bill-Gayds
1) does it mean that KMS doesn't work on your SAMSUNG 943NW ? or just xorg-server sets resolution incorrectly?
2) device-mapper is removed from v06 (causing error on mounting LVM partitions) and its integrated now in lvm package - mentioned in changelog already. Think that upgrading of Truecrypt should solve the problem
3) looks like png issue which we have here - updating of Mplayer should solve it.
4) would like to avoid setting alsa mixer cause it can make troubles with different soundcards
5) sorry - can't disable dhcpcd as many users are using this. You can disable it in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file manually.
6) yes - seems that i messed up jayfloods tool after switching to 'full sq4 system'. Will fix that in v07
@Syntux
1) where is this error exactly?
2) Yes - SCSI drivers are disabled, but Vbox SCSI controller works fine with following modules for me: scsi_transport_spi, mptbase, mptspi, mptscsih. Add them to initrd.lz and update modules.dep with correct paths. Hopefully it will work then.
3) Yes - check bug section
@beny
1) use 'max_loop=100' cheatcode
2) update fuse, squashfs and aufs modules only or make initrd image bigger
i have these lines near 60 times
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.25
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.4.1
libpng warning: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
Rollback to previous libpng version?
I can avoid this by linking /usr/lib/libpng.la to other version in module...
I use version of devel package from original slax 6.1.2 if it does matter
I will try to create auto converting tomorrow, so i will look at libpng problem more detailed.

as you can see buggy part '/usr/src/s2-liplianin/v4l/firedtv-1394.o' is not even compiled under Slax-6.1.2 - that's why it's passing with crippled sources. There's nothing wrong with building this package with full sources anyway.
@bonapart
we need to find solution otherwise i'll have to recompile qt3 against libpng-1.4.x, and would like to avoid it!
@fanthom
1) I got this error when booting after doing a full install of Slax Remix 06 on VMware 7.0.1 on IDE harddisk using slax6-install.kmdr
2) Okay, great. I will try to build scsi modules for myself, but maybe you could also pass on yours to test?
3) Perfect. Thanx :)
After recompiling inkscape is working properly.
Very good tool, Language Selection Tool.
Previously I have chosen UTF-8 instead iso-8859-15 that is better for my needs.
Now is OK.
Thanks.
If 'Language-Selection-Tool' works fine for Greek support
then it might be a good idea to publish the parameters you
are using in the corresponding thread(s)!
@bonapart
i have compiled qt3 from sources but error was still there: libpng warning: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.43
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.4.1
qt was compiled against newer libpng library (libpng-1.2.43) but it was still 1.2.x branch and there was no way to compile it with 1.4.x. Reverting to libpng.1.2.x makes no sense as all packages from slackware-current are compiled against 1.4.x now. I have decided to go with workaround: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mjznzwd4hig/qt_png_compilation_fix.sq4.lzm
activate this package and then run 'qt_png_compilation_fix' in console. This script will replace all 1.4.x libraries with 1.2.x one just for the time of compilation of your application. When it finishes - just press enter once again and all libs will be copied back. With this workaround you can produce qt apps compiled against libpng-1.2.x which are working great with qt3 library. Please confirm that it works for you and i'll close this bug.
BTW - there are also missing qt3 headers. will add them to 006-devel in v07
No, i mean the user's specific parameters stored in a few configuration
files generated/modified by 'Language-Slection-Toll': this information
may prove useful for those who must struggle with such issues under
a 'Linux-Live Script'/'Slax'-compatible environment as that of 'NimbleX'
which was released recently, whatever.
By the way, there was a bargain at the local store recently so i have an
SD card waiting to be made useful. Are there too many adjustments done
with 'Slax-Remix v06' already? I fear the task of getting up-to-date will
be too difficult so i wonder if it's simpler just to let you guys do the hard
work until v07 arrives!
I not trying to slow your momentum or anything, this project seems like a good deal of fun, but Slax is maintained, updated and supported solely by Thomas M. This project isn't. It's not Slax.
I'm sorry but i differ of opinion radically. Perhaps 'Slax' is still
"maintained' but the problem is 'Slax v6.1.2' was broken for
me all along somehow and then Thomas moved on to v6.2.0 a
while ago. By luck Fanthom went by and offered an opportunity
i couldn't ignore because past this momentum there's not much
left on the menu... It's just too bad but the truth about 'Slax'
is that i've reached the end of the road some time ago not even
knowing it and i don't find this situation funny or anything as
i'm only begining to manage with it while others dream of v7...
It's how things are for me. Maybe i'll have some more fun with
'PureOS-Light', etc., but i sense that everything is ready to fall
appart again in a few months, or maybe next year at best, so i
know the end is definitely coming and i'm trying to accept that.
In the meantime, there's a tiny comfort space where i still fit if
i stick with 'Slax-Remix' or 'PureOS-Light'. Those projects will
probably be dead by the time i fully feel at ease and satisfied,
not to mention 'Slax' itself. My appologies, i guess i can't climb
steep learning curves anymore so that's about all i can afford.
I've expressed my gratitude to both authors before, my intent
isn't to diminish the importance of their realizations. I'm simply
stating how it looks from my perspective.
hi fanthom
As it known the firm Technisat has different addresses registers of card TechniSat SkyStar S2 DVB-S/S2 PCI rev 3.3 and is defined incorrectly in Slax-Remix v06/2.6.33.2 but this card work in Slax 6.1.2 - I repoted about this http://forum.free-x.de/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&postID=14694#post14694
@fanthom
I tried to build a new initrd.lz including the scsi modules, but I could not extract initrd.lz?
It always tells me "Compressed data is corrupt" when using the following commands:
mv initrd.lz initrd.lzma
lzma -d initrd.lzma
Am I missing something?
By the way do I have to use initrd.lz included in /boot or the seperately delivered initrd.lz?
I think I understand:
I have to use the clean and seperately delivered initrd.lz, since /boot/initrd.lz has some splash image concatenated and therefore can not be uncompressed, right?
@Bicephale
uff - theres quite few changes made by this tool, sorry but wont be able to explain everything now. Affected files:
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh (sets LC_ALL, LANG and LC_COLLATE variables - most important file)
/etc/rc.d/rc.font (sets font name to be loaded in console mode)
/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap (sets keymap to be loaded in console mode)
/root/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc (keymap setting under KDE in X mode)
/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g (lang settings for ntfs partitions)
/sbin/mount.vfat (lang settings for FAT partitions)
@forum
i thought that 'Slax-Remix' name says clearly that's unofficial release. I have sent an email about remix status to Tomas M - waiting on his response.
@bonapart
my script does similar thing :) should work for you too. compilation of slaxcc failed anyway: main.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
main.cpp:57: error: 'system' was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [main.o] Error 1
i presume that its under heavy development and that's why it failed.
@ponce
great!
unfortunately my experience with slack-builds is very limited. Would you be able to provide qt3 patched for png-1.4.x for us?
@Blaze89
any tip what i could change in kernel config to fix this? to be honest - i have no idea whats causing this error.
@Syntux
1) yes you are right. please try to do it yourself (for better understanding how slax works). If you want to go with shortcut, here is my initrd.lz which i tweaked for SCSI support: http://www.mediafire.com/file/nkmiomozatn/initrd-SCSI.lz
works great in VirtualBox with SCSI controller.
2) i wont be able to do full installation this week - maybe next one.
@fanthom
strange, i compile without errors. you can freely remove line 57 with system( in main.cpp , it should work after that. anyway i have to repair some bugs, especially in configs and modtool (pacman seems to be fully worked,just converting not implemented)
That's all right Fanthom, i just discovered this morning
that Marc had released a new version of 'PureOSlight v1.0
2010' ten days ago and i finished downloading before diner
only so i yet have to evaluate it, actually! It appears i can
keep quite buzy if i feel like it... I suppose the 1st thing i'll
toy with is your 'Language-Selection-Tool', to prove that
Marc doesn't need to publish two separate editions, one
for French (Paris) and the other for English. Hummm... But
it will certainly be challenging because 'PureOS-Light' uses
'Xfce' instead of 'KDE'. I'm not sure what's possible and
what's not, euh... But that might be fun.
@Syntux
full installation under Vbox: http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1149/remixv06fullinstall.jpg
i did it 'my way' so cant say what's wrong with utility which you used. It hanged for me on 'mounting non root local filesystems' as well. After removing 'slax' entries from /etc/fstab, next reboot went smoothly. Hope that helps a little.
BTW - linus72 was right, memory usage just after boot is around 170MB :)
@Bicephale
sounds like a real challenge!
good luck :)
hi fanthom,for issue solved,mine,i don't, no way to do initrd with zen2,i have changed file in file system,have change file in 001-core but kernel panic,ok isn't my job,i have follow your how to,step by step
@beny
change all paths from: kernel/fs/squashfs/squashfs.ko:
to /lib/modules/2.6.33-zen-2/kernel/fs/squashfs/squashfs.ko:
you can use 'sed' command to do it automatically: sed -i (path to your mounted initrd)/lib/modules/2.6.33-zen2/modules.dep -e s@kernel@/lib/modules/2.6.33-zen2/kernel@g
it should work then.
BTW - please remove at least few of your posts. this thread looks like a big mess.
@fanthom 1) does it mean that KMS doesn't work on your SAMSUNG 943NW ? or just xorg-server sets resolution incorrectly?
KMS works for my Samsung 943sw using remix v04 and with "i915.modeset=1" X defaults to the
correct native resolution of 1440x900 when freshly booted. But since remix v05 the initial resolution is wrongly
set to 1024x768. Its just a minor issue because 1440x900 resolution is available via the tray icon.
part of "Xorg.0.log" with fresh booted remix v04: (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 connected
(II) intel(0): Using exact sizes for initial modes
(II) intel(0): Output VGA1 using initial mode 1440x900
(==) intel(0): video overlay key set to 0x101fe
(==) intel(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(**) intel(0): Display dimensions: (410, 260) mm
(**) intel(0): DPI set to (89, 87)
part of "Xorg.0.log" with fresh booted remix v06: (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 connected
(II) intel(0): Output LVDS1 connected
(II) intel(0): Using fuzzy aspect match for initial modes
(II) intel(0): Output VGA1 using initial mode 1024x768
(II) intel(0): Output LVDS1 using initial mode 1024x768
(II) intel(0): Using default gamma of (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) unless otherwise stated.
(II) intel(0): Kernel page flipping support detected, enabling
(**) intel(0): Display dimensions: (410, 260) mm
(**) intel(0): DPI set to (63, 75)
"fuzzy aspect match" seems to do wrong here...
2) device-mapper is removed from v06 (causing error on mounting LVM partitions) and its integrated now in lvm package - mentioned in changelog already. Think that upgrading of Truecrypt should solve the problem
same issue when using remix v05, worked correct up to remix v04."mount" shows a "/dev/dm-0" device now for /media/truecrypt1, (dm=devicemapper ?) previously it was "/dev/mapper/truecrypt1".
5) sorry - can't disable dhcpcd as many users are using this. You can disable it in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file manually.
Manually setting the nameserver is impossible as long as dhcpcd is active. Maybe dhcpcd can be configured
so that is does not clear "/etc/resolve.conf" if there is no response from a DHCP Server.

Thanks a lot fanthom! Really kind of you :)
I was also testing with your initrd-SCSI.lz and got some small success on VMware full install. It now passed the previous error messages, but for some reason it tries to look for the sgn file again and fails :(. If the virtual slax iso image is there it will succeed, but mount all lzms from there. http://i40.tinypic.com/59zqxh.png
Maybe I have to modify in initrd.lz something or change my lilo.conf settings? I am lost :(
How do you know that those modules like scsi_transport_spi are the only ones needed for SCSI support?
I built it on slax remix v6 adapting the slackware script in extra/source/kde3-compat to install in /usr instead of /opt/kde3 and applied the patch above.
it works and plays well with firefox but I think you have to rebuild also the whole kde.
just a thought: maybe moving to qt4/kde4.4.3 (http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/4.4.3/x86/) on -current it's easier and maybe also useful for Tomas:
- to maintain: you won't have to backport anything;
- instead of backporting, helping update the stuff for the new version of the wm.
- kaffeine and all the other qt dependant software can be used in his latest version.
but i repeat, it's just a thought :)
@fanthom
I think my problems are related to lilo.conf and initrd.lz? If I understood correctly, I need your initrd-SCSI.lz because of the SCSI drivers and therefore need to have initrd = /boot/initrd.lz in my lilo.conf. Now when using initrd.lz it still assumes to use Slax from a CD/USB and therefore looks for the slax directory with the slax-remix-v06.sgn file which of course it can not find anymore and fails.
How can I change that behaviour? Linus72 and others did not use initrd.lz in their lilo.conf, but they probably did not require SCSI?
By the way, here is my lilo.conf:lba32
boot = /dev/sda
prompt
timeout = 40
change-rules
reset
vga = 791
image = /boot/vmlinuz
initrd = /boot/initrd.lz
root = current
label = Slax-Terminal
read-only
image = /boot/vmlinuz
initrd = /boot/initrd.lz
root = current
label = Slax-X11
read-only
append="autoexec=xconf;telinit~4"
@Bill-Gayds
1) i think i know what's causing this:
i have set 'vga=791' parameter in slax.cfg to use bootsplash theme so resolution is hardcoded to 1024x768. Try to remove this (you'll loose bootsplash theme) and you should get native res with KMS then.
BTW - you can create your own bootsplash theme with 1440x900 res - all described in the FAQ.
2) yes - i have spot that change too. upgrading of Truecrypt is the only hope.
3) good idea, will have a look at this next week.
@Syntux
i have provided initrd-SCSI for 'frugal-install' on SCSI controllers. You wont be able to use it in 'full install' mode - you know it already. To do a 'full install' on SCSI you will have to create your own initrd which contains scsi drivers, busybox and short 'linuxrc' script which loads drivers during boot stage. Sorry - i'm not gonna do it for you as i do agree with Tomas in this subject: if you want full instsall - use Slackware.
BTW - I'm not sure if those drivers will support all SCSI controllers, they just works for Virtualbox and my intention was to prove that you can do it with drivers compiled as (M) and initrd. i dont want to bloat kernel with SCSI drivers which nobody gonna use (how many of us have SCSI controllers at home?).
@Ponce
great job - really appreciated!
will try it next week (at work now). i know that moving to KDE4 will be necessary, but would like to do it as late as possible.
BTW - future of slax-remix project is a big questionmark now. Still waiting on Tomas M reply regarding this.
@beny
did you sort out initrd.lz issue?
Syntux is trying full installation, in this case lilo must point to real partition and not /dev/ram0.
thanks for removing posts.
@fanthom
Okay, I understand now and can try for myself, but why was it possible to do a full install with Slax 6.1.2, 6.2.0 and until Slax Remix 02?
Did they have SCSI drivers included in the kernel? Something must have been different here?
I also wonder if it should work to do a full install when using an IDE harddisk in VBox/VMWware? I will further test and let you know.
I agree that Slax is optimized for CD/USB usage, but I think it is also great for fully installing it on a (virtual) disk in order to test things, etc. I rather agree with markds and think that Slax is a universal distribtuion and you have the freedom to choose how you want to use it (CD, USB, Frugal, Full Install). I like Slax also for it compactness and that I can only assemble together what I need. In the end I have one Slax ISO file that can be used for CD/USB/Frugal HDD and Full (virtual) HDD installation. Perfect :)
I tested Kubuntu 10.04 against Slax Remix 06 and was rather disappointed since Ubuntu with KDE 4 is so much slower and somehow overloaded. Also I did not find that Ubuntu boots really faster. Indeed Slax was ways faster ;) Of course it might not load as many services, etc. but do I really need them?
Sure you can not stop KDE 4, but I would agree to rather wait for including it. You should also check with Tomas M to prevent double work here!
@beny
Thanks, but I think /dev/ram0 would not use my (virtual) harddisk, but rather the ramdisk?
The similar lines are for booting in terminal mode (default) and directly into X11 :)
@Syntux
this is from v03 changelog: Removed:
a) SCSI low-level drivers, ATM drivers, 10Gbit network drivers (i believe that administrators can compile custom-kernel easily)
full installation will work without initrd on IDE and SATA for sure.
Here are my findings:
1) There is no slax entry in /etc/fstab. The only one is slaxdrive. The problem appears in VBox and VMware: /dev/sda1 / auto defaults 1 1
aufs / aufs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 # AutoUpdate
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
/dev/sr0 /mnt/sr0 iso9660 auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec,ro 0 0 # AutoUpdate
/dev/sda2 none swap auto,defaults,pri=1 0 0 # AutoUpdate
none /mnt/slaxdrive slaxdrive defaults 0 0 # This is for Slax Drive integration into KDE
2) Can you say why IDE drives in Slax Remix 06 appear as /dev/sda1, etc. instead of /dev/hda1 like in older Slax (Remix)? Cause of the newer Kernel?
3) When I place files in /rootcopy, /slax/optional or /boot and create a new iso image those files will have 400:401 ownership
In older Slax (Remix) they used to be owned by root:root and had executable permissions (777) which I think is better.
@Syntux
1) sorry for being not clear enough - by slax's entrys i mean all entrys specified to slax, in this case it'll be 'aufs' and 'slaxdrive'. Basically fstab need to look like in Slackware. most important thing: root '/' must be a real partition and not aufs!!!
2) because Remix since version (dont know which) uses libata patches for ATA drivers.
3) will check it next week - thanks.
@fanthom
1) Your explanation makes sense at first and I removed the two slax-related lines aufs and slaxdrive, but I am out of luck, since on VBox and VMware it will both still hang at: Mounting non-root local file system:
linus72 also had the aufs and slaxdrive line still included and I can imagine they could maybe still work with a full installation, no? Do you still have an idea left what I could check or try?
2) Okay, but does it mean there is only /dev/sd... for all drives in the future? No more /dev/hd...?
3) Please do so. I think there are some small issues with this.
@fanthom
On VMware I formated /dev/sda1 (16 GB /dev/sda IDE) as xfs and used exactly the same configuration. Only swap sits on /dev/sda2 instead of /dev/sda5.
But I am out of luck :( ... It does not work and still hangs at "Mounting non-root local filesystem:" ... I also tried on VBox, but got the same results (sigh) :( http://www.mediafire.com/file/o0hmn510kmt/Slax%20Remix%2006-2010-05-07-08-08-45.png
@fanthom
Here are my findings so far:
1.) I used your way. You just forgot one step "10a.) cp /boot /mnt/sda1" else lilo -v can't find vmlinuz
2.) Unfortunately still the same result as with my procedure. It will hang at "Mounting non-root local file systems:", but ...
3.) This time I pressed Ctrl-C when it was hanging and then it goes on and finishes booting :)
4.) This works also with my procedure, but I always have to press Ctrl-C and still don't understand why?
Also I checked your original slax-remix-v06.iso file again and found:
1.) /boot/slax.jpg has ownership 1000:1000. All other files in there are owned by root:root
2.) /slax/slax-remix-v06.sgn has ownership 1000:1000. All other files in there are owned by root:root
3.) When creating a new iso image with make_iso.bat and new files in /boot and/or /mnt/sr0/slax/optional and/or /mnt/sr0/slax/rootcopy, all files in /boot or /slax/optional will have ownership 400:401 and no executable permission (777).
4.) Not sure where this comes from, but in Original Slax all files are always owned by root:root and have executable permission (777), which should be similar to mounting a Windows drive.
Hmm strange the fglrx-10.4 is not working for me. Am i rigght in thinking this is the gpu driver? I have a ati 4890 and i have put fglrx-10.4 in the base dir and when i boot i get to starting xserver then thats it is there any thing els i need to do?
@Syntux
1) dont know what can be wrong - works for me without ctrl+c
2) i must have add slax.jpg and slax-remix-v06.sgn under gentoo box - that's why there are 1000:1000 permissions. Will try to avoid this next time.
3) 400:401 - to be investigated next week
@ebhomepc
do you have 'fglrx' set up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? is the driver loaded (check 'lsmod' command)? which driver is being shown in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
@Blaze89
thanks - will try it soon.
Btw - kde startup sounds are simply awesome, i have my favourite already :)
@fanthom
Hi conserning fglrx all i have done is put the module in the base dir i cant get chance to check logs as the system does not get past starting xserver it just stays like that untill i press ctrl+alt+delete then the system reboots.

@Bill-Gayds
couldnt find how to disable overwriting /etc/resolv.conf when dhclient is not getting an ip address. The best option is to disable it globally in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file.
@Syntux
tried to create iso under v06 and all permissions are ok. i believe that you are using badly created modules which are overwriting /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow or /etc/groups file. please double check the bug when running in 'always fresh mode' with remix modules only.
@ebhomepc
you will be able to answer my first 2 questions after booting into 'text mode'. Set persistent changes on HD partition and answer my 3rd question (search forum how to use slaxsave.dat)

where did you get this link? use this one from the FAQ.
@tonio
i'm not getting this warning. rc.Firewall is starting fine
Sadly, you are RIGHT :(
Something is wrong at Medaifire I guess?
@Bicephale
Not a new version, just that guest has a problem getting slax remix v06 :(
@fanthom,
guest is right, progress bar just keeps scrolling , no way to download iso :(
I did manage to download noveaux, but have not tested it yet, sorry about that :(
@tonio
1) i presume that this module is outdated (maybe buggy or unsecure) and that's why this warning appears. rc.Firewall should use successor of it instead. i dont know which module gonna replace 'nf_conntrack'.
2) waiting on report with nouveau :)
@guest
mediafire can be fussy sometimes. unfortunately i dont know better (free) replacement, so we need to stick with it.

@bonapart and Bicephale
thanks for your offer but remix is getting bandwidth hungry - v05 downloaded 400 times, v06 nearly 250 (so far). I don't want to stress your server that much. Could any of you upload v06 iso on other server like rapidshare or megaupload so i could link is as a mirror in the FAQ (cant do it myself - work, work, work)?
@tonio and guest
1) i got similar result on Nvidia Quadro card, well - nouveau was loaded fine but X server still couldnt open /dev/dri/card0 or something. I presume that xorg-server need to be recompiled with nouveau support. Lets wait on official slackware packages so.
2) yep - i was expecting this. use at your own risk :)
good news :)
i have got an reply form Tomas M regarding 'slax-remix' presence on this forum:
quoted as follows: currently I have no problem with your remixes.
If people like it, you should continue with your activity! :)
Despite of that great news, there's no change in rules which i set up for remix:
1) remix issues in remix threads only
2) no sq4 modules uploaded on slax site
rename or remove the original shutdownkonq file and insert the new one http://i41.tinypic.com/5vrnsj.png (I think this picture a logo of Slax Remix project =)
in /usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/
@fanthom:
I rechecked again and took the original slax-remix-v06.iso. I extracted it and simply recreated it without touching anything using make_iso.bat on Windows XP. Unfortunately the resulting iso file has wrong ownership and permissions (see screenshot: http://i41.tinypic.com/34rgavb.png) when booting with Always Fresh. I am not sure where it derives from, but I guess it could come from the iso creation tools on Windows?
@fanthom:
The problems seems to occur when using make_iso.bat on Windows. On Linux using make_iso.sh is working fine when you set the correct ownership/permission before you use the script. Probably you might need to use the other cygwin tools (chown, chmod) to create the correct ownership/permission on Windows to have the same results as on Linux?

@Syntux
looks like it's windows fault indeed. i would like to advise to try to avoid doing any operations on slax under windows. it may lead to various problems: permission, ownership, missing symlinks, empty lines in text files, etc.
I'm not sure about cygwin but Vbox does great job in this subject :)
@fanthom
I also prefer Linux and use VBox. That is exactly one of the reasons why I wanted to use Slax Remix 06 for a full/frugal install :)
So I can use Slax Remix to test, modify and build a customized Slax Remix for my needs :)
By the way could you give me a hint what I might include into a new Slax kernel to make it SCSI compatible? I have not builded a new kernel in a while.

Fanthom: The conversion (sq3/sq4) context menu is very useful, but a bit confusing. Because of sq3 revelant options is less frequently used, you may consider putting "Convert Slax sq4 module(s) to sq3..." and "Extract sq3 Module..." options into a submenu inside the same context menu, like this:
* Convert Slax sq3 module(s) to sq4...
* Extract sq4 Module...
* Other options -----------------------------------------------------------
* Convert Slax sq4 module(s) to sq3...
* Extract sq3 Module...
@Syntux
what's the point of recompiling the kernel when initrd-SCSI.lz works? If you still want to do it just compile modules mentioned by me and all SCSI low level drivers as (*). Should work then.
@ceremcem_
done, also added 'tgz/txz to sq4 conversion' in konqueror and fixed jayflood's modtools :) everything will be implemented in v07.
hi fanthom,i have a question to you,it's possible to pach 2.6.33.3 kernel with 2.6.33 zen 2,apologize me, but looking around i don't have find nothing.
@ponce
unfortunately you were right: we need to recompile whole KDE (and probably every application which is using qt as dependency) to use it witch your patched qt. think it will be easier to link every application which is compiled from sources with png-1.2x lib as bonapart showed to us.
Thanks for you effort :)
just copy all files from '/root/qt_png/usr/lib/qt-3.3.8b' to '/usr/lib/qt-3.3.8b' in your system and run 'make xconfig' again. Added to 'Known remix bugs' section. Will fix that in v07
@Quax
really kind of you :) will link it in the FAQ as emergency mirror.
Thanks a lot!

fanthom
EDIT:\\
@Quax
i'm getting this error when tries to compile your 'HD installer' from sources: Can't open script "ina-en.nsi"
cp: `ina-en*.exe': no such file or directory
it's one of the last steps i guess. any ideas how to fix it?

I will rework InA this weekend when I am finished with the next Lin2Go snapshot (KDE 4.4.3).
Therefor I have to rebuilt the local devel pc which hosts the original InA sources...
Regards, Quax
EDIT - Just checked: simply copy ina-en.nsi from the sources root to build/installer ;)
@Fantom
Will recompile this package or go with standard one in v07 - thanks for bug report.
will try to symlink vi in v07 - thanks for bug report.
done, also added 'tgz/txz to sq4 conversion' in konqueror and fixed jayflood's modtools :) everything will be implemented in v07.
Will fix that in v07
Will kde 4 be on v7? any any planed date on v7 and will the convert sq4 etc be in the new kde4 i think you will need to remake the service menues also will the default file manager be Konqueror or dolphin?
@Quax
1) i remember :)
2) got it working after moving this file manually. had not time to fully test it yet, just noticed that 'INA' wont accept other ISO names than FluxFlux-Sl :)
Will post full report soon.
@bonapart
"When it's ready" (always wanted to say that - haha)
To be serious: v06 is just 19 days old!! i wont be able to release next version every 3 weeks :)
2.6.34 should be out next week so give me at least 14 days.
BTW being in hurry can cause stupid mistakes (as i did in v06 with symlinks). So no rush guys.
@ebhomepc
no plans for KDE4 as per today.
@Blaze89
no problem
Cheers
EDIT:\\
@Quax
extracting of ISO failed. Installer couldnt find some files, i have checked 'ina-en.nsi' and looks like your application is looking for 'initrd.gz' when remix uses 'initrd.lz', 'ffsl.cfg' when we have 'slax.cfg' etc.
Didn't search for other differences.
EDIT2:\\
WARNING: this is important - does anyone use floppy to boot slax remix? if not, i would be happy to compile it as (M) which would significantly increase boot speed. using of floppies will be still possible - booting from them not.
Anyone who needs this functionality?
Hi fanthom...
since the hibernate solution for plain Slax seems not to work any time soon, I will now try Slax remix instead.
Now, my first question is: Why are all file permissions in the ISO DOS/Windows like, and not Linux like?
All are 0777 instead of 0755.
When I am able to, I prefer to install my Slax on a ext2 or ext3 FS, I add a plain standard user for security reason and startx with the non-root user. Now, having all folders and files with 0777 gives that user the rights to just change everything in the /whereever/rootcopy folder or the /wherever/base folder, and I only want root to be able to do so...
I read the FAQ but found no reason as why you made the ISO look like it's an DOS/Windows FS... Only /boot is not like this, /boot has the permissions I like to see in a similar / appropriate way with all of the /slax folder and subfolders and files as well...
_______________
Has someone tried to create a XFCe version out of Slax remix already? KDE 4 might be quick, but I still like the GUI and look and feel of XFCe better.
@Rava
1) v06 has no zen stuff so tuxonice is not here, i would recommend copmiling custom kernel for your needs.
2) slax folder has 777 cause i had troubles with PXE booting before - modules were not copied over network, can change it to 755 no problem (FYI: all permissions inside modules are ok)
----------------------------------------------------------------
i have just realized that remix vmlinuz is too big (2.4M) for putting in on a diskette. floppy support will be (M) in v07 so :)

Why reinvent the wheel? the guys at salix.org are doing a splendid job.
There are rumors that wolven is back in town with his wolvix, too ;)
And by the way: You do know the live/real distribution which offers speed and umts out of the box in addition ;)

Can I use the slax modules with activate/deactivate with salix and wolvix?
Since I would like to keep the ones I custom changed or created, because I also don't plan on reinventing the wheel...
Also i can append that we can leave kde3.x as is,but remove all kde3.x apps, include qt4.6+.x package to slax-remix and use modern apps
I can modify, rewrite if need.
The best way from my point of view, but it's imho only.
@Ponce
yes i know it - unfortunately Quax's FluxFlux-SL uses it already :(
i was also thinking about Ubuntu Unity - which should be lightweight enough. The best way would be to force Pat to recompile KDE-3.5 once again by the way of releasing Slackware 13.1 :)
@bonapart
that's also good idea. Will see in near future :)
from Pat:
"Don’t look for future updates for come from us, though — KDE4 is way to go, and KDE3 is dead. I know how it goes, though… I’ve found over the years that no feature can ever be removed without some fraction of users expressing disappointment (or even anger), and KDE3 was a truly great desktop. However, in my opinion KDE4 has already passed KDE3 in most regards and will only continue to improve."
also, I think unity needs gnome
~/unity$ ./autogen.sh
which: no gnome-autogen.sh in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/java/bin:/usr/lib64/java/jre/bin:/usr/lib64/kde4/libexec:/usr/lib64/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:.)
You need gnome-common from GNOME SVN
That's not the only problem, as far as i'm concerned:
'KDE v3.5.10' is "light" in comparison to v4+ and the
later makes my PC crawl so much that's a reminescent
of MicroSoft when each new version meant that we had
to upgrade our HardWare as well... It's the exact same
pattern, even if there's no need to spend good money
on the OS itself the rest still doesn't come for free.

3. The locale is absent in /usr/bin and /usr/locale/bin root@slax:~# locale
-bash: locale: command not found
regardsing nouveau-lzm that you made, I retested it, and it does work, but not like we would like, Here's what was needed to make it work
1) activate the module
2) run
# depmod -a
3) run
# modprobe nouveau
then
run
# startx or
# xconf
module does load, but graphics don't look good or as sharp as with nv driver that is in remix :(
Still I wonder what makes the nouveau look good in Fedora ?
I had problems with the nouveau in Fedora 10, but in Fedora 12, it did work beautifully not needing the nvidia driver :), but here on slax remix/slax 6.1.2/ the nv driver works ok, but the nouveau guess it needs more testing to be accepted.
Regards,
Antonio
EDIT:
I will try on my own to build the driver and try it on my Slackware Current machine, I will use Phantom's slackbuild and see how it works:

./xf86-video-nouveau-snapshot.sh: line 21: git: command not found
EDIT3:
Reading more into it, I see that this experimental driver interferes with nv driver and with official nvidia driver that people blacklist it :(
/etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf,
to prevent the nouveau dri module shipped with our kernel from preventing
the nv driver and/or the binary nVidia driver from working.
Maybe it is like that and this it does not work as it does on Fedora. Best solution is to wait for it to come directly from Slackware at this time, I can test it, and report back if it does work as it does on Fedora?

With salixos you should definitely - with wolvix I'm not sure ;)
But salixos.org is NO live system, right, but an conventionally inst - searching falled Slackware based Linux with XFCe as Window manager...
And are you sure Slax modules can be used with SalixOS?
Searching for lzm on salixos.org gives no results http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Search?search=lzm&go=Go
So... it seems the main issue with live system and hibernate is the bootup and shutdown part of a life system, right?
I thought, an older Slax Remix was working fine with hibernate / Tuxonice?
@Rava
i didn't get it to work under remix. could hibernate fine but my system never woke up successfully. probably the reason was that i didn't go with initrd as cpio archive - as advised by Gedexas. maybe i'll try again one day, but it's not my priority at the moment.
^
Hibernate without waking up again is not really successful...
Maybe I ask on a Tuxonice forum if they know which livesystem is known to hibernate...
When I recall right, the Parted Magic did so all by itself once, went to sleep and came back (while I was gone from the laptop cause the partitioning took some while)
@fanthom
no problem :^)

i'm very interested in LXDE. will replace fluxbox by it and maybe add boot option with lxde to syslinux.
Thanks a lot and waiting for updates in this subject (if any).

fanthom
----------------------------------------
EDIT://
Vbox 3.2.0 just arrived with very interesting features ie - launching applications from guest on the host side :) gonna test it now...
@ponce
i'm short of 'leafpad' and 'xarchiver' which were present in the first set. also - why 'obconf' and 'openbox' are optimized for i686 arch? could you recompile them against i486?
leafpad and xarchiver are built from slackbuilds.org, so are openbox and obconf, for my netbook -current (that's why are built for i686): I will readd them in the binaries section tomorrow in the morning (8 hours from now :D ) in their i486 versions.
btw glad you liked it, it replaced kde 4.4.3 on my workstations as wm: it was superfast too, but I don't think I really use anything of the stuff inside, I'm basically an xterm-firefox-thunderbird guy, not much more :)
if you are interested (I'm using cmus now) I can try building lxmusic too and his dependency xmms2: this has some other dependencies, but we can choose (flac, mp3 and ogg for sure, I propose).
@Ponce
would be really nice if you could provide lxde module for slax-remix (pre-configured by you) with size up to 5MB - that's max what i can accept. You can put there whatever you want. I'm currently doing some invasive changes in remix so users will be able to boot lxde in all options available through syslinux (always fresh, vesa, copy to ram, etc) by adding 'lxde' to the autoexec cheatcode: 'autoexec:lxde;xconf;telinit~4'
In this case you will be able to use KDE applications and still have lxde as default deskop :)
first the bad things:
i'm short of /var/log/packages/* (slackyd wont be able to update those packages) and man pages are not unpacked. no other issues so far :)
@crashman: you have to look at free memory with "free -m" command, not with top: post the outputs in the two cases :)
EDIT:
kde + terminal (88 Mb) total used free shared buffers cached

plus, lxde is maintained, kde 3.x not. ;)
@fanthom:
- I fixed man pages and var/log/packages;
- I think icons on the Desktop are binary files, I added a simple link but I think we can use some .desktop files;
- I think the menus are generated by the categories in .desktop files, still have to investigate well how but I think by this command
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database usr/share/applications
so, maybe, it's a matter of categorizing those kde's .desktop files that goes in "other"?
I think icons on the Desktop are binary files, I added a simple link but I think we can use some .desktop files
I don't know why vim opened them as binaries but they actually ARE desktop files :o sorry for the noise
@Ponce
thanks for working on lxde update. v07 should be out next weekend (depends on slackware-13.1 release date) so we still have some time for improving the things :)
@Blaze89
added to download section. thanks.

EDIT://
@ponce
maybe you should start another thread for lxde and slax-6.1.2 ? hopefully more people would be interested in developing this module, and you could receive some help? just a suggestion.
nice idea, phantom. I'll do some more mods (latest are online) and will open a new thread :D
but it won't be based on slax 6.1.2, as I build this stuff on current ;)
only thing I think in the end will be slightly larger as a module, because I'm thinking at the moment to stuff in ORBit2, gconf, gnome-mime-data, libbonobo and gnome-vfs to have working automount of media and other stuff in pcmanfm2...
I'll check how much it grows and will evaluate if I'll follow this way ;)

i will release all patches when v07 is out - Blaze89 will need them i presume :)
Have you considered using cvs/svn/git/mercurial and setting up a project on one of the foss project sites (sourceforge/berlios) ?
Would at least solve my problems with mediafire and their 404 & 403 errors :)
fanthom wrote:
you mean for slax-remix or just for patches?
Patches, build-scripts so it would be possible to make a cvs co && ./rebuild.sh for a "complete" rebuild.
Would be a whole lot easier for more people to spot bugs and send patches :)
I'm worrying that this tool can cause more bad things than good ones - i can image dozens complains about broken systems :) How many people would be interested in developing it? be aware that i can start this project but wont be interested in maintaining it (same as i did with 64 bit version of slax).
Will you take responsibility for 'slax-build' tool? if yes, than i can start working on it.
i dont have 'slax-build' script yet as whole process is quite complicated. i have few separated scripts (ie. for building initrd) and all work is done manually. Will try to merge them all together and post the result here (my todo list for remix-v07 is empty so have some free time). This 'slax-build' tool will cover upgrading of 'userland' and some help with kernel recompilation only. it's hard to complete all patches for newest kernels - they are not updated on time. Will see what i can do about it - give me couple days.
Can anybody help me?
Slax remix v06 doesn't work with my AMD HD 3650.
My graphic card not supported by ati-fglrx-10.4-remix-v06.sq4.lzm driver
When kde is starting I can see next error message: "Could not start kde init. Check your installation."
@RAGE
i have seen exac same error on my friend's PC just yesterday (he has HD4550 but reported by lspci as 4350 - ??). Could you upload your /var/log/Xorg.0.log on 'pastebin.com' and post weblink here? Does everything work well when you use opensource radeon driver (remove ati-fglrx-10.4-remix-v06.sq4.lzm) ?.
There's a chance that your model is not supported by fglrx somehow and you'll have to stick with radeon driver and wait for another fglrx update.
this is Xorg.0.log from radeon driver. i need log from fglrx:
a) switch to vt6 by pressing ctrl+alt+f6
b) save Xorg.0.log somewhere
c) reboot slax with radeon driver and upload saved fglrx's Xorg.0.log to pastebin.
d) i'm gone for couple of hours so see you in the evening.
it looks like it's still loading the radeon driver: check that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf you got the line Driver "fglrx"
in the Device section, instead of Driver "radeon"

I downloaded this package glibc-i18n-2.11.1-i486-3.txz - http://slackware.bgbits.com/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/l/glibc-i18n-2.11.1-i486-3.txz
Then i run the command txz2lzm in console and i have this message Executing install script for glibc-2.11.1-i486-3.txz.
sbin/ldconfig: Can't open configuration file /etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory

When i run kaffeine in GDB with а new activated package of glibc-2.11.1.lzm - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1wdzuj1tmzj
i have this message: (gdb) exec kaffeine

There is newer version of gibc http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ (19-May-2010), but this source code (is not ready slackware package).
@RAGE
your systme is still loading 'radeon' driver. Please save this xorg.conf in /rootcopy/etc/X11 folder, edit it and change: Driver "radeon"
on Driver "fglrx"
then edit /boot/slax.cfg and remove 'xconf' from it - should look like here: autoexec=telinit~4
restart slax and report back
@Blaze89
i run this on v06 with basic modules only: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/134/snap0000i.jpg
as you can see - no errors.
i think that glibc which i use in LST has support for cp1251 already. Thanks anyway.
@fanthom
anyway I does not have warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.
with a new glibc-2.11.1.lzm -> [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Yes, but not for all languges. Only Russian 1251 localization.

1) glibc-2.11.1-i486-3.txz will be included in v07 as i always picks up latest versions from slackware-current.
2) this patch is almost 4 years old and as i said before - it's included already in latest glibc package.
as you mentioned - glibc provides localization support only. by using LST you can do more, ie: download language files (translations) removed from slax-remix during system cleanups.
will pay attention on: Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled
issue.
great!
please remove xorg.conf from /slax/rootcopy/etc/X11, run slax-remix once again (with fglrx), switch to vt6 and run those commands as follows: init 3
ln -s /usr/lib/libatiuki.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libatiuki.so.1
init 4
please report back success/fail (if you'll have an fail i need log once again)
Doesn't work. When system loaded, again I see error message: Could not start kde init. Check your installation."
When I type ln -s /usr/lib/libatiuki.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libatiuki.so.1 command, bash say that: "symbolic link '/usr/libatiuki.so.1': file exist"
Link on log, when I see error message http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=R6uJEPA6
I suppose because you got still the Driver "radeon"
in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
you gotta edit and replace the string "radeon" with "fglrx" mcedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
you gotta be sure to have that before starting X (or restart X after changing it).
@ponce
I try this, i sure that i have fglrx in xorg.conf, but it fail with following xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=iGHkFr73
I type following command: xconf>out.txt 2>err.txt
And I see next errors:
/usr/bin/xconf: line 51: 3987 Аварийный останов /usr/bin/X -configure 2> /dev/null
Trying to autoconfigure Xwindow system, please wait...
cannot run auto config. Try xorgsetup (menu) or xorgconfig (plaintext) commands.
@RAGE
now the error is different - did you use the same fglrx package provided by me?
the system is complaining about given depth, could you make sure that you have 24bit as default depth in xorg.conf? DefaultDepth 24
xconf wont work with fglrx unless you remove some files from /etc/ati, unfortunately i cant remember which. that's why we need to go with pre-configured
xorg-conf file. you can also try this config: http://pastebin.com/6F2acwY4
@RAGE
no problem :)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slackware-13.1 is out and im going to release 'remix-next' based on it (and kernel 2.6.34) this Thursday, and remix-v07 next week if no major issues will be discovered.
@ponce
if you are plaaning to add or change something in your LDXE module - please do it during this week so i'll be able to merge it to v07.
@bonapart
same to your Slax-Module-Center (please also make sure that all conversion options works as expected)
@Blaze89
my last wish - could you move 'Slax' word little bin on the right on this image: http://i43.tinypic.com/20ucys7.jpg
i would like to use it in v07.
BTW you were right about errors during conversion of glibc-2.11.1-i486-3.txz package (i was doing glibc-i18n-2.11.1-i486-3.txz without error). it's badly written installation script i guess. same issue appears on slax-6.1.2, package works ok so i'm not worrying too much.
@bonapart
can i just convert smc package for slax-6.1.2 to sq4 or you have different version for remix?
EDIT:\\
@Blaze89
i have checked it and seems that those errors are not critical: just about updating ld.so.cache (done when system boots up) updating of /etc/localtme and removing /bin/sln (/sbin/sln) symlinks - those two i'm doing during building up new version of slax.
@fanthom
what you mean about smc?
package manager is slax independed
slaxcc is for slax-remix only and i provide only a sq4 module(and it contain package manager as well)
read following thread =)
@fanthom
I hope slax-remix v07 can run in my netbook (HP Mini-110, graphic Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express) nicely without hang at "Triggering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger", coz I've been waiting so long and Linux Mint can work in my netbook without problem.
@sonsoft
i hope too :) pls try remix-next and report success/fail
@bonapart
works ok now :)
-------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGELOG for remix-next-v07:
new kernel - 2.6.34
kernel config:
- enabled 'CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y' for bootchart purpose
- 'floppy' support is compiled as (M)
- removed msdos fs support (vfat does the job)
- fuse and squashfs are compiled in (*)
Boot folder
- upgraded busybox and ntfs-3g friver in initrd.lz to latest version ('sed workaround' is not needed anymore)
- usr.lzm and drivers.lzm are unpacked by default, tweaked linuxrc to speed up boot process.
- replaced 'initrd.gz' with 'initrd.lz' in liloinst.sh file (thanks Syntux)
- new syslinux boot image (well done Blaze89)
- fixed permissions inside /slax folder (thanks Rava)
001-core
- all packages updated to Slackware-13.1
- updated and tweaked some rc scripts (wicd, lxde autostart, etc.)
- added 'mkfileswap' and 'mkslaxsave' scripts by Tomas M (thanks to tonio)
- added missing 'vi' symlink (also tonio)
- fixed jayflood's modtools (broken by me in v06)
- updated bonaparts' Slax Module Center
- lattest version of 'mount' binary is back (no more ugly hacks!) but automount of CD/DVD discs is gone. Slax CD will be still availiable
through /mnt/live/mnt directory, other CD's needs to be mounted manually, example: 'mount /mnt/sr2' will mount disc in third CD/DVD drive.
- wpa_supplicant from sns-tool is replaced with standard slackware package for wifi 'N' support (thanks to nimh)
002-xorg
- all packages updated to Slackware-13.1
- fluxbox replaced by lxde desktop (thanks ponce for great job!). you dont need to remove 003-kde to use it. just edit slax.cfg as follows: 'autoexec=lxde;xconf;telinit~4'
in this case you'll be able to use KDE applications and still have lxde as default deskop :)
- new cursor and gtk theme by Blaze89
003-kde
- module renamed from 003-desktop to 003-kde (to avoid confusion as we have lxde desktop in 002-xorg already)
- added 'convert tgz_txz to sq4...' konqueror servicemenu
- moved sq3 operations in konqueror to subfolder (ceremcem_ suggestion)
- added 'LXDE' submenu for lxde stuff
- replaced KDE startup sound, Kmenu and shutdownkonq images (good job Blaze89!)
006-devel
- all packages updated to Slackware-13.1
- added missing qt3 headers and 'moc' binary (due to updated libpng package you'll still need to use qt_png_workaround during compilation)

you are talking about konsole? this probably is because of the new libpng on which is built lxde (slackware 13.1) that plays strange things with konsole default transparent setting.
xterm works for you?
@andre5775
1) that's very bad - could you try sns-tool once again? i can enable experimental rt28xxpci driver but need to be sure that staging driver does not work for 100%.
2) speed will be even faster in 'final' - i have tweaked rc scripts once again. now booting it's about 25% faster than remix-v06 :)
@Blaze89
1) could you describe it in more details? (i can disable ejecting globally - if needed)
2) yes, transparency for some reason doesn't work under LXDE. workaround: you can change konsole theme under 'settings -> 'schema'
3) could you give me download ling to your glibc package - i'll use it in final release.
more bug reports/suggestions/requests are welcome. i'll probably release remix-next2 to be 100% sure that everything is ok. i would consider v07 release as 'long term' - maybe the last one before slax-7 arrives? Let's make it best ever :)
Regards,
fanthom
EDIT:\\
@ponce
i have removed 'gpicview' from remix so you could merge it back to your ldxe module. we wont have doubled packages then :)

Time is over it plays cards in, sometimes, sometimes it does not show connections in sometimes
but I am never connected
I have sent cichlasoma a mail he should also check it
Ponce,
yes, about konsole. xterm works for me -> http://i47.tinypic.com/ka4pyt.png
I think need may change link in a shortcut of konsole on link Terminal Program - Super User Mod
or replace default scheme of konsole for LXDE.

The problem remains the same in remix-next-v07. Probably libpng again gives failure.
@andre5775
waiting on a news from a cichlasoma so...
@Blaze89
1) ejecting fixed
3) i have just realized that glibc is not included in remix-next-v07. it's in 006-devel-remix-v07 which is not provided yet. i presume that you were using 006-devel-remix-v06 with older glibc-2.11.1-i486-2?
4) might be a png issue. does it also happen when you use qt4 and kaffeine-1.0-pre3? sorry if i asked this question before - too many things to remember :)
What happens as if it was the 1st time
download next-07.iso (mediafire) no pb
extract boot to usbpart1(fat32) and slax to same usbpart2(ext2)
boot from usb all'seems ok
but problem with change due to changes written on boot device (I thought sgn file ..)
I've two pc where usb is either sdb or sdd
so i create two entries in slax.cfg to write changes in sdc2 or sdb2
as I start slax in only text mode it was not difficult no pb except choice
next I create my own modules (sq4.lzm) from my own shells (written from text mode) no pb
.sq4 created ok an usable (use of dir2lzm )
and now I startx (kde) .. don't hurt me
then I choose extra-stuff to configure my network using sns-tool
clear i have a wpa connection now with wlan1 and not wlan0 as yesterday ?
so older sns.conf can't work
I choose create module ok : can use firefox
then copy sns.conf to /slax/modules
you said to also copy sns-tool.lzm. where is-it
I know your "surbooking(french option) why not create a single module .
Tried also sns-tool to convert folder. while writing this,
realize that it is for multiple sq3 lzm in one folder.
does an entry to convert a foldet ala dir2lzm will conviced me not to use text mode ?
"Superbe" work .. remix07 seems a must (some full slackware are very surprised by slax easy use
whenevee they stay)
adduser command gives an error exactly 4 times whenever a user is being created:
root@zeytin:~# useradd -r -s /bin/false httpd

@bour59
since v06 sns-toll is integrated with 001-core so you dont need to put sns-tool.lzm to /slax/modules (will change this misleading info in remix-next2).
you can use konqueror to 'build sq4 module...' it's dir2lzm equivalent.
@ceremcem_
i'm not getting this error on 'clean' remix-next install. i presume that one of your old modules is overriding 'libc.so.6' and this is the root of your issue.
more bug reports please.
006-devel
- all packages updated to Slackware-13.1
- added missing qt3 headers and 'moc' binary (due to updated libpng package you'll still need to use qt_png_workaround during compilation)
@fanthom
006-devel
is apparently not there. I try to make a kernel module and I get make not found :(
@Blaze89
debugging is enabled in this 006-devel package.
Explanation: i always strip all libraries from unneeded debugging symbols to make modules smaller - recommended by documentation: http://www.slax.org/documentation_create_modules_rules.php
unfortunately this cause 'gdb' warning: warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.
As we have 006-devel outside slax-remix we can afford to not strip this module down. as you can see it's bigger in size but 'gdb' should work as expected.
Thanks for Devel module. As I saw in the release notes that 06-devel was listed, I thought it was really there by default.
Great work with LXDE :), If these are built by ponce, great Job ponce. Even ghostview is there and it apparently works. Now I
need to remaster the iso, to build a new livecd with 06 devel module included. Great work guys!
BTW,
which kernel configuration do you use? .config ?
I am considering building a kernel on SLackware 13.1, I have only built kernels on Fedora :(, also because of how I don't understand
lilo like I do GRUB :(
hi fanthom i have a little issue with nvidia driver,when i install them,don't match with kernel header source,but it's installed,the procedure it's the same of the other times.
@tonio
to be 100% sure about config just do: modprobe configs
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
@gusterrapolis
no point as i'm currently uploading remix-next2 (still beta, can expect final in next week, pls hold on for a while).
@beny
i couldn't fine headers for 2.6.34 kernel that's why i used latest available. Does the nvidia module work for you?
---------------------------------------------------------
remix-next2 should be uploaded in next 2-3 hours. i have fixed some bugs (still waiting on cichlasoma, andre5775 and their issue with rt2600sta driver) and tweaked almost everything to increase boot speed. some statistics:
each release is booted in VirtualBox-3.2.0 with default settings to text mode only on my C2D-8400 machine:
@fanthom
I have a bug report.
remix-next-v07 incorrect work with recordmydesktop - desktop session recorder qt-recordmydesktop 0.3.8 -> http://www.mediafire.com/?kwkvwjz2m2n
BTW at leisure i try run kaffeine-1.0_pre3 with all dependencies (kde4.1part6.sq4.lzm, qt-4.6.2_2d3d3e5.lzm ...)
kaffeine-1.0_pre3 with all dependencies in kde3 does not work right =) look at this -> http://i50.tinypic.com/4usznn.jpg
@beny
did you try to compile nvidia driver under remix-next? did it work for you?
@Blaze89
1) is gtk-recordmydesktop version also working badly?
2) run kaffeine-1.0_pre3 in konsole and check if you have something like this: libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.1
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.43
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
if yes, than your qt4 or kaffeine are not compiled against libpng-1.4x
------------------------------------------------------------------------- remix-next2 finally uploaded: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmnx2oyezqy/remix-next2.iso
md5sum: a1f91841284d539f6db54da21239b78d
please test it in every way possible. tomorrow i'm gonna deliver 006-devel for it. i hope it's the last beta before final release.
@andre5775
i'm pretty sure that you wont be able to connect with remix-next2 too. could you provide /var/log/dmesg, /var/log/messages and output from sns-tool for me pls?
Hi, i tried it for a few minutes only but here are the
elements which i could notice anyway...
1)
Why not remove the "Slax" string at the begining of
each boot-menu item: it's redundant and the word is
already nicely highlited in watery characters right
in the middle-top section of a new beautiful image...
2)
The CLI space is ugly as always, at least lets move
it 3 lines up to avoid bizare graphical behaviours!
3)
While the initial scripts are executing, if one will
press the [Esc] button he can see what goes on but i
must confess this solarized clover leaf in the lower-
right corner can happen to be distracting! Maybe a
different version would fit in more suitably.
4)
Some argument other than purely esthetical, finally:
i've been experimenting with a TV Tuner/Capture card
lately. Conversion of the suitable applications for
it ('KDE TV' + 'LibzVBI') was a real enchantment but
my old ATI TV Wonder VE (Bt878-based) wasn't found.
Is support for 'V4L' installed?...
That's it, i know my comments are of rather limited
usefulness but this is all i could manage to post...
-=*=-
Good work though! I'm still quite impressed with the
project and it's already very nice to have it around
as it is!!!
...if glibc is same that slackware current in slax-remix-v07.
Anyway I can compile nvidia driver without problems with slax-remix-next-v07 without kernel headers package.Now I am running from remix-next and DRI nvidia enabled.
Important solve this issue to compile any software not only drivers.
? yesterday (remix-next) wifi interface was wlan1
today (remin-next2) wifi interface is now wlan0
Someone can explain this ?
as I had copied the sns-config(next) my 1st reaction
was to say 'there is a wifi problem'
it was not difficult to recreate the config file after investigate !
Is it a good idea to merge the two configs and adding a subsidiary wlan3
or have I to play with activate/deactivate
Thanks
uff... great feedback guys - really appreciated :) let's see what we have here:
@Bicephale
1) nice idea - accepted
2) and 3) - like your criticism, but if you do than post better propositions pls
3) 'libv4l' is not included - cant squeeze everything in 200MB!!
is your card recognized by the kernel? what 'lpci -k | grep ATI TV Wonder' shows?
@andre5775
thanks for the logs. theres a chance that your wifi is working correctly, look at dmesg: May 31 06:49:55 (none) dhcpcd: wlan0: broadcasting for a lease
(your card is visible and dhcpd is trying to obtain ip address)
and from ssinfo: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:43:15:21:47
inet addr:169.254.144.174 Bcast:169.254.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:752 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
dhcpcd failed and your card got ip from standard pool. Anyway, looks like your device is working fine. pls run slax-network-setup tool again and show me the log after this part: wait few seconds for dhcpcd which need to acquire all details for your device,
in case of troubles please paste debug info in this thread: http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=55124
@gusterrapolis
kernel-headers-2.6.33.4 are in 006-devel which i have just uploaded :)
@bour59
i have no clue why your wifi card is renamed so often. hopefully it will stay as wlan0 now :)
@Blaze89
1) that's bad - sorry but i dont know how to fix it (updating python package?).
2) try 006-devel for remix-next2, debugging should be enabled without external glibc-2.11.1 package. pls report back if it's working for you.
3) already covered by the changelog: - latest version of 'mount' binary is back (no more ugly hacks!) but automount of CD/DVD discs is gone. Slax CD will be still availiable
through /mnt/live/mnt directory, other CD's needs to be mounted manually, example: 'mount /mnt/sr2' will mount disc in third CD/DVD drive.
you'll find it in /mnt/live/mnt/sr0 dir. it must be like that - otherwise there will be a long delay in the boot process.
more bug reports please - it's really not bad, was expecting worse things :)
hi fanthom, i have tried to install nvidia driver but i recive error to kernel header fault,i have unpack devel and i see kernel header inside,i have problems but i am work on it.btw nvidia driver for the LLS with 2.6.34 kernel,if i want driver in slack take away.

i have uploaded same file once again (same 006-devel for remix-next and remix-next2)
give me 1 hour for reupload the correct one.
if kaffeine is still closing on dvb window than there's no hope for fixing in soon.
Is not working.
Something is wrong in next2.iso related to modules.dep.
I can't start desktop.Freeze kde desktop.
Related devel module and kernel headers 2.6.34...
Another way is to move /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/ directory in devel module and put it in /usr/include and make a simlink from /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/ to /usr/include and close devel module.
Perhaps ln -sf /usr/include/asm-generic /usr/include/asm is needed.
I believe this is the best option and it works.
Compiling programs search headers in /usr/include.
I add multilanguage support in your kaffeine and made these modules compiled from sources under remix-next2:

@gusterrapolis
1) i have just built vbox-addons with 006-devel-remix-next2 and it works fine (can modprobe modules). how do you start desktop (kde,lxde)? are you able to modprobe 'nvidia'?
2) good idea :)
i think i can move all headers to /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/ and symlink it from /usr/include, but in kernel-headers-2.6.33.4_smp-x86-1.txz package there's folder named as 'asm-x86' which is missing in /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/. do you think it matters? which modules did you build without kernel-headers-2.6.33.4 succesfully?
@Blaze89
great news!
but - is kaffeine still closing on dvb window?

1) i have just built vbox-addons with 006-devel-remix-next2 and it works fine (can modprobe modules). how do you start desktop (kde,lxde)? are you able to modprobe 'nvidia'?
2) good idea :)
i think i can move all headers to /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/ and symlink it from /usr/include, but in kernel-headers-2.6.33.4_smp-x86-1.txz package there's folder named as 'asm-x86' which is missing in /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/. do you think it matters? which modules did you build without kernel-headers-2.6.33.4 succesfully?
@Blaze89
great news!
but - is kaffeine still closing on dvb window?
Related devel module and kernel headers 2.6.34...
Another way is to move /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/ directory in devel module and put it in /usr/include and make a simlink from /usr/src/linux-2.6.34/include/ to /usr/include and close devel module.
Perhaps ln -sf /usr/include/asm-generic /usr/include/asm is needed.
I believe this is the best option and it works.
Compiling programs search headers in /usr/include.
I have extracted with isomaster and cheksum is OK with k3b.
I am using vmlinuz and initrd.lz from boot directory extracted and booting with from=/mnt/sda5/remix-next2/...
Something related modules.dep is missing.
The strange is that works with virtualbox.
I will try again.
SOLVED!
My syslinux menu was pointing incorrectly.
Now is OK and nvidia driver compile without problems.

Nvidia driver was compiled with your old devel module without kernel-headers(006-devel-remix-v07.sq4.lzm) and virtualbox too.

hi fanthom,i have a truble with:to use [hit enter for /boot/vmlinuz]:
Creating LiveCD from your Linux
some debug information can be found in /tmp/linux-live-debug.log
copying cd-root to /tmp/live_data_5643, using kernel from /boot/vmlinuz
creating initrd image...
Using kernel modules from /lib/modules/2.6.34-remix
.//lib/modules/2.6.34-remix/kernel/fs/aufs
.//lib/modules/2.6.34-remix/kernel/fs/squashfs
cp: cannot stat `.//lib/modules/2.6.34-remix/kernel/fs/squashfs': No such file or directory
---------------------------
Error occured while trying to copy ".//lib/modules/2.6.34-remix/kernel/fs/squashfs"
Possible reason: not enough free space in initrd OR source doesn't exist.
If space is your issue, see '.config' file to increase size of initrd.
If source file doesn't exist, it's a big problem. See DOC/requirements.txt
Other problem related next2.iso.
In clean boot only default modules, no problem, but if I put my others modules.sq4 in /modules then system don't load.
Stopped in process loading modules and after a minute tell reboot.
In desktop same modules loading without problems.
If I move this modules to /optional and reboot no problem.
UPDATED
Modules are kernel dependent.nvidia driver and virtualbox.
I believe that is needed rebuild kernel module to modules kernel dependent or slax don't load.
I will try it now...
My clock in kde is +2 hours.If I change the clock to hour ok after reboot again is +2 hours.
This not happen in previous versions.
Any idea?
--------
In my opinion best combination is...
1) slax remix-next-v07.iso and 006-devel-remix-v07.sq4.lzm
Compilation OK
No clock problem and /lib/modules/2.6.34 and /usr/src/linux-2.6.34 is equal.
No /lib/modules/2.6.34-remix and /usr/src/linux-2.6.34 like next2.iso
In other way this script...
#! /bin/sh
echo mem > /sys/power/state &
is working perfect to me to hibernate the system.
Menu lxde to hibernate is not working to me.
Sensation of performance is better to me in 1) slax remix-next-v07.iso and 006-devel-remix-v07.sq4.lzm than in next2.iso.
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried with and without
the 'DVB' module, the 'bttv' driver is loaded anyway
and 'TV Time' appears to work as expected but some
other applications complain about 'v4l-conf' so i'd say
'Slax-Remix' has a 'v4l' issue, whatever...
'XdTV' searches for '/dev/video' while what i have is
'/dev/video0', etc... I suspect that's one reason why
there's "No Device Found"!

Thank you fanthom! I have built 2.6.34 on Slackware 13.1 successfully. Had a bit of trouble with lilo, but did a
# lilo -fix
or something like it and I can boot from it. Now I will need to work with it a bit and get more stuff done. I'll work slowly, but surely.
Some drivers did not build on your remix-v07-next, but they also did not build on fresh 2.6.34 that I compiled :(
@beny
you wont be able to use LLS on remix-v07 as 'fuse' and 'squashfs' are compiled in (*). i dont really understand why you want to use LLS. isn't it easier to take slax-remix.iso and just replace modules from /slax/base with your ones (boot.lzm, etc.lzm, root.lzm, usr.lzm, etc.) ?
@gusterrapolis
1) you are right - kernel config has changed between remix-next and remix-next2 so you need to recompile all kernel dependent modules (that's why i didn't suppose to give the community 006-devel to avoid such problems. be aware that kernel config and version can change also in remix-v07 final)
2) looks like i have cut too much from rc scripts, pls try this rc.S: http://pastebin.com/bR7irEcm
put in rootcopy dir and report back if your time is ok after reboot.
3) all lxde issues should be addressed here: http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=62201
ponce in troubles :)
4) moved /usr/src/linux-2.6.34 to /usr/src/linux/2.6.34-remix
5) booting is faster for sure. you mean that overall performance under remix-next2 is worse than remix-next-v07?
6) flash plugin accepted
7) many thanks for your valuable comments
@Bicephale
i believe that slackware-13.1 (on which remix-next is built) is not really backward compatible. thats why all modules should be upgraded/recompiled against it - kaffeine is a good example.
Modem drivers for an Agere Modem supported by martian-full-20100123 drivers. For one reason or another, they are not working under 2.6.34. I can compile the martian_dev.ko, but the file /usr/bin/martian_modem also needs to be created and it is not working. I tried it on your remix before, and I then compiled the martian_dev.ko on my Slackware x86_64 box, but I could not get it to work :(, a friend of mine got me a true hardware modem and now I am in business :)
olivares@darkstar:~$ cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 13.1.0
olivares@darkstar:~$ uname -a

I compiled 2.6.34 on my own, now when I have a bit more time in my hands, I can start trying to get aufs, squashfs and other drivers built in to the kernel. I just used your strategy to copy the official .config from Slackware 2.6.33.4 x86_64 kernel. Everything is working beautifully. I need to add some packages then I will use another of my machines to work on the aufs,..., business and see where I get from there. Otherwise, I will try to get the remixes and report issues/great advancements that you and others working on it. Thanks to all of you guys :)

Is not working.If I put /rootcopy/etc/rc.d/rc.S...
INIT cannot execute /etc/rc.d/rc.S (system hangs).(rc.S is chmod +x)
If I put in /rootcopy/rc.S don't work.Cloc is +2 hours.
> 5) booting is faster for sure. you mean that overall performance under remix-next2 is worse than remix-next-v07?
Yes,booting is a little faster.I was talking about desktop performance.I am not sure.It's only a sensation.Today I am not perciving any diference.
UPDATED
/etc/rc.d/rc.S from slckware 13.1 64bits is working fine.No clock problem.
Booting time into desktop loading 61 modules (openoffice biggest) is 46".
A very good time.I am counting to the end of loading kde desktop.
hi fanthom ,you knows my live system work only with kde 4.4.and i have LLS to do this,i can try to put squashfs of 2.6.33.2 version in 2.6.34,ok work in ppprogress,if i have a check in kernel version no way to do the job.
@gusterrapolis and others
pls try those files (put them in /slax/rootcopy/etc/rc.d): http://www.mediafire.com/file/mnzmoyqjnky/rc.tar.gz
clock should be fixed and booting even faster (i have sent rc.udev to background which may be little bit risky but worth trying - works for me anyway)
@beny
i can send you patches which i used to build remix-next so you will be able to recompile kernel with 'fuse' and 'squashfs' as (M). LLS should work then.
@tonio
waiting for the first iso impatiently :)
@quax
when new version of your lin2go will be ready?
@gusterrapolis
ok - we can get 2 secs faster boot in the cost of problems during booting. no point to take the risk so.
thanks for helping me with testing.
@gusterrapolis
i got this error when i ran 'make menuconfig': root@slax:/mnt/sda7/ftp/work/source/linux# make menuconfig

this file 'sigcontext.h' exist in kernel-headers in 'asm-x86' folder and doesn't in /usr/src/linux/include/asm-generic.
looks like we still need kernel-headers in 006-devel.

tomorrow i'll be shipping slax-remix-v07. any last call bug reports - please post it now.
you can find v07_beta up here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mmnx2oyezqy/remix-next2.iso http://www.mediafire.com/file/m5zddwzdzyg/006-devel-remix-next2.sq4.lzm
Now clock is ok (Spain time) and booting is very fast.
42" using from=/mnt/.. cheatcode from HD and loading 61 modules.Biggest openoffice.
23" !!! loading default modules slax-remix plus devel module.
udev warnings is something related to any of my modules not slax-remix iso.
Something like "specified group unknown tape" dialout and others...
All is ok now.Your latest scripts are fine.No problem.
I have solve my warnings udev related one old module configuration.
Read above your comment.

hi fanthom with your script boot is very fast with a sd card and lilo,a little problems with the printer,seem no driver found,i have a epson all in one,and kde print and cups refuse to do setup procedure.
