Hi Don. Gimp is from the slackware64 14.2 most recent (gcc-5-30). The upgrade is in "current" and goes with gcc-7.20. It's in JL64-706.

Mtpaint is from Salix repo, and up to date. I've pretty much quit compiling my own and replaced with "official versions. What's improved iv v.3.49?

I picked ffplay as default for running without xfce. Personally, I use fredx's mpv for media player and audacious for default music. Pmusic for radio stations.

I'll check into the dock preferences. You can turn off notifications in xfce settings manager, Don't know what happened to the Readme file. I'll track it down and put it back! In setup (lighthouse looknfeel) / or in the panel: Network Setup Manager, quite a bit of help pops up for setting up samba.


Meanwhile here is a patch:
v5-v6.tar.gz, actually two deltas - one for iso and one for Devx. Openssl upgrade and some trimming of the base file thanks to 666Phill (link)

I'll test plasma, tonite.

I use fredx's mpv for media player and audacious for default music

The problem was that when I clicked on mp3 files , mpg321 was used
and it has no interface to stop the music.

Default-Program-Chooser is in menu|setup or quick setup on wbar. Unfortunately, mpv is on the 5_JL64 addon and both it and audacious are on media center sfs. I'll make a light version of media center with those and their dependencies. But Parole is a good choice. You're right, I'll change the defaults in the next release, since xfce autoloads anyway.

As for the dock problem, yes, unclick for the bottom panel and probably both if you're running openbox since rox handles the pinboard, but lxde needs 'reserve space' on at least the top panel or the desktop icons will be misplaced.

As for the plasma5, personally, I'm boycotting kde altogether. Alien repo (nor Slackware, for that matter) bother with listing, much less checking dependencies (Salix does, but they're still on kde-4.14). The thing is, with every update on plasma5, dependencies change. It got to be too much of a chore to keep up with.

I use Rox.

Just the top dock solves my problem. The app windows stop popping up
strangely when I unclick those options.

JL64-704v6-704v7.tar.gz delta file for iso (patch v5 to v6 first!)

see o/p or run sfs-update

df

I use the gmic plugin with gimp

I was able to install it.

I got gmic 1.7.9 out of this package I made for fatdog..
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7JZA ... 2xxanFTaDA

I had to drag libgomp.so.1 out of pyro64 and put in lighthouse64.

__________________________________________________

Cool. Libgomp.so.1 is in devx.

edit: libgomp is part of gcc. If you don't want to load devx, gcc-5.30 is available as an sfs. (You might also want boost). This way you can be sure you'll have the right library. A lot of package installations will require both, but neither is necessary for minimal operation. When I get the base file properly trimmed down, some of this stuff will go back in.

The new and improved google drive can no longer handle large file uploads from my meager satellite connection, so here are the kernel package, base file, two delta patches (iso and devx) and two rebuilt sfs files (would be on iso).

JL64v10-12.tar.gz Delta file (102Mib) patch Just-Lighthouse64-704v10.iso to v12
Devx-JL64-delta.tar.gz Delta file (13Mib) patch Devx
3_dev_704.sfs rebuilt
gst-parole_704.sfs rebuilt (essential solibs for surf/sfs-update)
k4.15.8.txz kernel package, if you can't make the iso
JL64-704.sfs base file, " ".

kernel package upload. still k4.17.5

k4.17.5.txz

wrong kernel package on iso. This is the intended recompilation. Install package and then run mkMariner-iso to rebuild the image or open the archive and replace vmlinuz & initrd.xz in your frugal install. Sorry for any inconvenience.
