JL64-603(  Just-Lighthouse64)


(150527) The final release version (JL64-4.0.1f.iso) is now available for download after nearly six months of tinkering. It includes several bug fixes from the previous upload as well as several dependencies for applications installed missed by both ppm and g-slapt, particularly concerning gimp and system-config-printer. These additions are primarily python bindings, but I've also upgraded control pannel, pup-sysview, and added pup-kview, urxvtcontrol, at-spi2 and locator gui.

Of course, to call this "final" does not mean "really and truly"! I believe it merely qualifies JL64 for long-term-suppport. There is undoubtably still much which might be done.

- notes on systemd and kde windomanager:

Included in the JL64-4.0.1f iso is the addon, 2_SysdUdev-x86_64.sfs, which essentially restores systemd and udev as was in the original lighthouse and earlier JL64 prior to the addition of eudev, which is a udev work-around eliminating the need for systemd. Although not essential to run the kde desktop, so many functions are tied to it, paticularly kde drive/partition mounters as well as gnome disks.

To run kde free of systemd, simply unload the 2_SysdUdev-x86_64.sfs addon with boot manager or sfs load in the control pannel. There are plenty of puppy applications to take up the slack, such as pmount. In this case, spacefm would be the preferable file manager for kde, since it runs completely independent of polkit and dbus-1 (with systemd).

The other note concerning the kde windowmanager is nepomuk services. Some bit of nepomuk (libraries) is essential for most kde (v4.10.5) applications, but the system is broken as slackware provides and, in fact, has been abandoned by kde in more recent versions (which appear absolutely dependent on systemd). The only kde applications to truly suffer are the file indexing service and data storage.

I've added Smokey et al's 'locator-1.1-tahr' to the base file which provides a more-than-satisfactory indexing database gui for locate.

To save sessions while running kde (especially booting kdm/kwin from the console rather than xwin), you must switch the window manager to any other wm AFTER hitting the 'save-session' icon on the desktop.
