I will explain the idea how it works in a blog post. I've tried 7. It worked out of box with similar sized live distro porteus. Mark De Silva On Slax 7. If I activate the module and I do: rmmod b43; modprobe b43 slax crashes with the error "Fixing recursive fault but reboot required".
If I boot up with the sb in the modules directory, the wireless is detected with no crash. Very curious behaviour. Just to note, when I did the same thing on Slax 7. I wonder if there is anything with the 3. Tomas M If I remember correctly I had some discussion with Manfred Quax regarding broadcom drivers and the conclusion was that if certain modules are present by default in Slax then it makes some troubles.
I don't fully remember the details but I think it is this case - Slax 7. Maybe this is somehow related. Mark, I noticed you're maintaining your own repository for Slax Bundles. Is there any chance you could share your work with others by uploading buildscripts to Slax repository? Thank you. Mark De Silva Dirka, it depends on the card you have. For slax, the drivers are there, but the firmware is missing. A lot of the cards require proprietary firmware that while free to use, cannot be distributed.
You have to install the firmware later. The broadcomm and intel cards required firmware, but the drivers were present in slax. Mark De Silva Tomas, I recompiled my kernel 3. I have no problems sharing my work, but I didn't make any buildscripts for my slax bundles, I just compiled, makepkg and txz2sb. If there were any compilation problems, I fixed them on the spot. Others I just downloaded the txz packages from packages. I'm actually running around quite a bit with multiple projects on hand work has started again after my long Dec holidays , so I don't have the time to create nice buildscripts for the stuff I did, but when I have the time I will sit down and try to complete the buildscripts for all the packages, but I don't know when that will be.
Even the last few days I've hardly had time to even log into slax. My apologies in advanced if I am unable to get the buildscripts out quickly. Mark De Silva When I have some time I'll look at the broadcom issue in more detail and see if I can fix it. Setting kernel parameter "nomodset" fixes this, but some machines can't configure X correctly and get the wrong resolution without KMS 2 using back initrd.
Martin Daniel There isn't any czech forum and it probably never will. In the forum of the old Slax there was a rule, that every comment must be in english, so everyone understands and everyone could help you. I think we sould keep this rule and respect the non-czech users. Installation on HDD should be the same as on USB keyring, at least if you are going to install it as the only system on your ntb - download the zipped Slax, unzip it to your HDD, run the bootinst.
This night I've tested the Realtek cardreader driver compiled into the 3. I will test few days more and post the results. Tomas M Ah, I see, so I remembered incorrectly, sorry for the confusion and thank you for clarification :.
Ideally Tomas or someone could prepare how-to descibing this, how to make this work for various card still don't understand, why it could not be included out-of-box when porteus does. Why is that so? When Slax boots, it activates the modules in that directory and your wifi should work. Mark De Silva Dirka The intel card and the bcm need firmware. The new slax seems to have all the necessary firmware required for the and the softmac bcm43XX. Actually the softmac drivers for the bcm card were already in for version 7.
As to why Porteus includes them and Slax does not, I can't answer. In terms of distribution, its legally correct not to distribute the firmware with the distro. If other distros breach this fact, its at their own legal risk.
As users we may not see the risk, we only see the inconvenience, but the distro creator bears the legal risk if the chipset company decides to take action. It works with Intel now after getting kernel-firmware, doesn't with broadcom despite module was loaded correctly no wlan interface.
Cloud I also confirm the same issue with my BCM card. Same steps with same results as dirka. Slaxeee I've tried a fresh install of 7. I encounter a strange phenomenon after KDE loading. Turning Gear keeps a back screen during almost 30s, then desktop appears and every thing seems running fine. Is there a way to easy debug KDE at starting point? Maybe the way Xorg hardware detection is newly implemented could explain that too.
Mark De Silva Dirka, Cloud I assume the module that was loaded was the b43 driver kernel module. Tomas M Mufeed Ali: software center is not removed. Why do you think so? Mufeed Ali Tomas M: It's not on the desktop! I tried in KDE menu too.
Matt How can I update to this latest version without reinstalling? Tomas M Mufeed Ali: what version and language of Slax are you using?
Matt: I initially thought that I will be able to make a diffbundles which let you upgrade to the newest version easily, but I discovered it is a lot of extra work for me, so it is not possible at the moment yet.
Tomas M: It's not on the desktop! Is there a text file where the software centre icon used to be. Then I have to go back and test modules one by one to find out which one is the cause. Mufeed Ali Tomas M: Slax 7. Shantanu Gadgil Is it possible to server Slax 7.
If yes, what parameters would be required on the boot command-line? Regards, Shantanu Gadgil. Please try and report your result. Mark De Silva Matt, Plug your usb stick into your windows or linux machine. Of course you can just unzip the slax 7. If you want to format the usb, then follow the steps above. Liquid Snake Tomas, I just overrited version 7. When I do not press any key in boot, the system starts to boot, but fails at loading modules.
It says: "incorrect parameters". What might be wrong? I had changed the syslinux. So, I put the original syslinux.
That means that my changes to syslinux. Slaxeee Liquid Snake Did you run bootinst again? Liquid Snake Sorry, gice. It was something wrong in changes.
Slax does not have any bug here. I solved it deleting changes. One good new is that Tomas fixed the bootinst,bat, which was not working in the own Slax. Slaxeee I'm coming back with my first post KDE slow startup.
I have to investigate much more to confirm, using another one. Running from a hard stick is better. I've tried with your package and it's better now, but doesn't work, yet - card is recognized and fw loaded bphy0: Broadcom WLAN found core revision 16 Registered led device: bphytx Registered led device: bphyrx Registered led device: bphyradio bphy0: Loading firmware version Mark De Silva Dirka Most curious. My starts up like yours and connects without issue.
Are you able to list available SSIDs? I don't care about the rest of KDE, but konsole is the terminal I use. But I guess not that many other people use ruby. I think the above covers about I could add a.
I think the old killer feature of slax was the easy ability that people could have to "componentize" well I mean, to put stuff into modules their own add-ons and modifications.
But as Helder Max wrote, I agree - make it small, simple, keep it simple, and build Another good thing is that Slax was really stable and worked fine on any hardware possible. If the low effort customization and cloning is still a thing, I don't mind the out-or-the-box software selection. This is what makes Slax to stand out for me and not the wallpaper. Brice-symphorien Gnoboa Is slax a good platform for developers?
So I used both old 6 and 7 ver. I just downloaded the new one and really confused! No any file manager, no any guide about how to install modules.
I tried modules. Sb opera and few another by place in "module" folder but nothing works! Secure Traveler. It does not require any software to install, since the encryption is performed directly by the drive itself. Capacity is 16GB. Contact Slax discord Google group Facebook. Sign in with Facebook.
