hey
i don't know if i'm wrong, but when i try to install slitaz 5 64bits, on a logical partition, i just can't boot because grub cant find kernel or something..
but works on rc5 32b
Offline
There has been a problem with tazinst not copying the 64 bit kernel from the source to the install partition.
http://hg.slitaz.org/tazinst/rev/3b7bb383a54b
Complete the install by booting into the live cd,mount the install partition.
Check install partition /boot for kernel,if needed loop mount the iso,copy the kernel to /boot.
Check grub configuration,edit if necessary.

thanks, it works.
tried to install dual boot on logical partitions with slitaz 5 x64 and slitaz 3 x32 :
the error come back if slitaz 3 is installed after slitaz 5.
if slitaz 5 is installed after slitaz 3, the grub version from slitaz 5 avoid the error message (vmlinuz not found..) and everything works.
just edit your /boot/grub/menu.list to add your OSes

i'm afraid i have to give you some details about my slitaz 5 x64 and 3 x32 comparisons :
for opera 12 (latest linux version, works great on slitaz3)
tux@slitaz:~$ /usr/local/bin/opera
/usr/local/bin/opera: exec: line 4: /usr/local/lib/opera/opera: not found
tux@slitaz:~$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/opera/

i got to say, the same version of opera in x64 works fine on fedora 64
i thought the problem might comes from slitaz :x

The only part of slitaz-64 that is 64-bit is the kernel and modules.
Don't install 64-bit software, it won't run.
User space filesystem libraries and programs are 32-bit.
Opera-12.16.1860 32-bit runs while booted into 3.2.54-slitaz64 kernel

i knew opera 32 was running on slitaz5 64, but i didnt knew all of that.. i thought programs were running in x64.. little sad 
will programs be able to run in x64 a day?
(thanks for your answer, btw)

Ref:
It is a live cd (based on base flavor) with a 64 bits kernel and a fully featured 64 bits environment (no desktop). You can download it on https://googledrive.com/host/0B7R739rLD0ezWFJyOTFEM1pGa0U/iso/slitaz-rolling-base64.iso.

wait.. i dont get it..
what do you mean by " a fully featured 64 bits environment (no desktop)." ?
x64, nothing or everything?
Offline
According to the name of the ISO file, seems it is a Base flavor.
And, really, Base flavor don't contains Desktop environment. It means that you can use only full power of the linux console, and not able to run any Xorg, GTK+, or Qt-based applications.

it's stange, the iso allow running desktop apps

hello
a little news about slitaz x64 :
i'm trying to install vbox ose :
tazpkg get-install virtualbox-ose on slitaz5rc2x32 works fine, virtual machine boots up
trying the same on slitaz5x64:
tazpkg get-install virtualbox-ose on slitaz5rc2x64 (rolling)
output:
"virtualbox-ose" (4.2.6) is installed.
root@slitaz:/home/tux# exit
tux@slitaz:~$ virtualbox &
tux@slitaz:~$ modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no
module
available for the current kernel (3.2.53-slitaz64) or it failed
to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
tux@slitaz:~$
nothing in /etc/init.d/ kind of VBoxsetup or vboxdrv
what can i do ? i need virtualisation
thank you

another app problem :
skype 4.3.0.37 works fine on fedora, but not at all on slitaz 5 x32 or x64 :
softwares launches fine but doesn't connect, skype echo/sound test fail to connect..

[and by the way, i do not understand why mayland and nvidia are sitting in the libreoffice installation.]

For VirtualBox you can try:
- Re-cook it.
- Find how to recompile modules only. Try "tazpkg convert" something of this.
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=VirtualBox+dkms
- Install proprietary get-virtualbox (or from its website)
For Skype you need pulseaudio.
Offline
tried with pulseaudio for skype.. doesn't works too
using get-virtualbox : starting a compilation during installation.. ask me which file to patch..
i'm a little lost, i don't have dev skills, i wonder if i could just install vbox without any compilation.. to scared to mess up everything
