Shann,

I am using the ISO- slitaz-current-core64.iso (updated on 11 July 2024)on https://people.slitaz.org/~shann. Thanks for the same. I appreciate the effort. I am finding it to be quite good.

I wanted to provide the following feedback:-

I have installed Slitaz-64 on the hard disk using the Slitaz installer. I used the option of install using slitaz-current-core64.iso as "source file".

a) I installed Firefox-official, Abiword, Gnumeric and Audacity. The programs work as expected.

b) I installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol. However, on using "Pulseaudio Volume Control" from Multimedia tab, pulseaudio volume control GUI does not load. I am getting the error "Connection to Pulseaudio failed". Screenshot attached. Due to pavucontrol/pulseaudio not working, there is no sound in Firefox. To get sound, in firefox, I had to use apulse, which works.

c) Another issue I am observing is that during booting, it stops for a long time (maybe 30 seconds) at "Loading console keymap"

d) Wifi works properly.

e) While trying to use Google Meet, webcam (builtin into the laptop) is not getting recognized. I tried installing linux64-video and linux64-media but still webcam is not recognized. The webcam is getting recognized on all other Linux distros. Appears to be missing some drivers..?

Surprisingly, issues (b) and (c) above are not observed when using Slitaz-64 (same ISO) from USB after writing it on USB using dd. They are only occurring when using Slitaz Current64 installed on hard drive. When using Slitaz-64 from USB, it boots normally without stopping and Pulseaudio volume control works.

I also wanted to check whether Debian or Slackware packages can be installed in Slitaz-Current 64. I tried using "tazpkg convert" but it appears to be only for 32-bit packages.

Hi slitaz_user4,

For issue you see with pavucontrol and pulseaudio, it's really strange.
Infact on my eeepc work as expected, also on my brother laptop (he used it as media center to watch TV / videos).
In both case, it's SliTaz current64 installed on hard drive.

Concerning console keymap, same i don't see it.

For webcam, i know, need to check what miss drivers.

For tazpkg convert i don't used maybe that not properly adapt to be used on x86_64.

Hi shann, slitaz_user4

I don't know if it can help but I meet the same "issue"

I edited isolinux.cfg and appended kmap=us (I use a US English keyboard) as a boot parameter.

It works and it boots immediately without
stopping or any delay.

Hmm, you said isolinux.cfg, if understand you use syslinux as bootloader on disk, and issue occured.

If it case, need to check on my EeePC, infact i use grub2 as bootloader on it.

I did a fresh install to hard disk. Both issues solved.

Booting happens normally. There is no waiting at "Loading console keymap"

Pulseaudio volume control works now.

Hi Slitaz_user4,

Nice to read this :).

Also concerning webcam, i check it at least for my EeePC and Tuxedo Pulse 15.

Need to install linux64-media.

For EeePC, i install usbutils, webcam built-in has UVC USB Webcam
For Tuxedo it's 'Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd'

Both, load uvcvideo driver, webcam see it below dmesg for Tuxedo

uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.50 device HD Webcam (04f2:b68b)
input: HD Webcam: HD Webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.3/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/input/input16
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.50 device HD Webcam (04f2:b68b)
input: HD Webcam: IR Camera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.3/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.2/input/input17
usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)

For microphone, it's little trick, infact i test it not work, found related to pulseaudio that "mute" input device 'aka microphone' by default.

Hi Jianliulin,

hmm strange, maybe miss xorg-xf86-input-vmmouse.
For current (32 bits) i finish to rebuild all packages and push on mirror.

Let's me check to build xorg-xf86-input-vmmouse for current64 and push it on personal repo.

Hi jianliulin,

sorry for late, i rebuild twice current64 packages, infact try to fix issue of mesa / egl / dri3 with amdgpu, and on first build issue with hg merge, said local repo is sync but not really true (include xorg stuff).

xorg-xf86-input-vmmouse is available for current64

Repo is up to date, and i launch rebuild of iso for base64 / core64.
