Changelog
- wicd updated (wicd-1.4.2-i486-2AL) includes changes to daemon.py and networking.py to accommodate Slackware networking scripts without altering them. Now works despite presence of other networking interfaces. ALSO added a patch to gui.py, to not allow empty entry of network name in wired interface setup -- this led to crash of daemon upon restart.
- 5ball gets a new high-contrast theme, (requested by a visually-impaired user.)
- absServices.py updated (utility to set startup programs/daemons) changed from wxGTK to pyGTK + code cleanup
- flv2avi re-introduced. Added desktop file and dialog if ffmpeg is not installed (which it requires.)
- mkinitrd-1.3.2-i486-3 (updated by Slackware) Initialize RAID earlier so that the combination of RAID+LUKS+LVM works.
- kdelibs updated to 3.5.9 with Absolute modifications
- K3B updated to 1.0.5, include plugin support for ffmpeg use (if the multimedia installer is used.)
- Multimedia installer updated Fixed ffmpeg not installing properly. uses latest ffmpeg (r13628) installs ffmpeg as a shared lib for use with other apps\
- Couple performance tweaks
- 1.) to look out for if running a server: boot drive on install is set with "noatime" flag.(This speeds up the average machine quite a bit, especially if using an older drive.)
- 2.) /etc/sysctrl.conf now includes "vm.swappiness=20", which can lead better system responsiveness, and very helpful in getting enabling laptops to sleep.
