Slax 7.0 released
I'm happy to announce the final release of Slax version 7.0, code name Green Horn. After more than three years of silence Slax is back in action and is better than ever before. Also the website got updated, so make sure to check www.slax.org, you'll love it.
Slax 7.0 is the major update of Slax Linux live operating system. It includes newest Linux Kernel, KDE4 desktop, GCC compiler and lots of other stuff and that all in just a ~210MB download. Furthermore it's available in more than 50 localizations, so you can get a Slax that speaks your language.
Big thanks to everybody who helped with development and testing. The work didn't end now, actually it rather just started, I'm going to prepare Modules section for the website and bring Software Center in Slax to life. The next step, however, is to start supporting buildscripts. Slax is ready, just the webserver needs some work, I think I'll start with this.
If you are experiencing slow download, you may consider purchasing Slax on USB drive, just check the home page and order one, it's awesome device! :)
Enjoy! And thank you once more for using Slax.
User comments
I'm very happy!!!!! :-)
(Detail: Catalan, valencian and basque flag are wrong...) ;-)
Dobrá práce Tome, dÃky za vÅ¡echno co jsi pro nás (milovnÃky slaxu) udÄ›lal
Good job Thomas, thank you for everything what you do for us (slax lovers)
Regarding flags ... please explain to me how should I know what flags are correct for Catalan, Valencian, those are not mentioned at the given URL at all. Thanks!
Catalan is http://lacortada.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/catalan_flag.jpg
Valencian http://0.tqn.com/d/gospain/1/0/Z/H/-/-/valencia_flag.gif
I've just made md5sum test file, it can be found here:
Congratulations,EXCELENT job ,very nice ,but I have problem with smplayer (play slowly) I have a netbook with atom 450 1gb ram .Sorry for my poor English .Repeat, thanks for you dedication ,slax is a jewel of operation systems.
@david: smplayer is by default set to use x11 video output, which works everywhere, but is slower. Please change video settings to use XV video output instead of X11 and it will be faster.
Sorry to bug, but is there I should go about installing wifi firmware with this release? I followed some instructions that I found here (http://old.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=82732) and was presented with "FATAL: Module lwlwifi not found."
I must love it like others :)
Arabic flag is here, http://icondrawer.com/img/flag_icons/Arab-League-flag-icon.png
Disregard that issue. I got it working by just copying the firmware files I needed and rebooting. No bash commands needed! Loving the distro, by the way. Congratulations!
doigte: Your network card probably requires another driver, not the iwlwifi, which is for Intel cards. You can find which wireless network card you have by executing the command "lspci" (or maybe there will be some information in the output of dmesg command - try executing "dmesg | grep -i net").
seems that there is a bug in the stripped down firefox:
After opening some windows in firefox (e.g. Help,about) one can't close
the windows because the windows buttons are missing.
Trying to close the window with a rightclick on the taskbar entry freezes Slax.
Screenshot at http://fluxflux.net/firefox.png
Nevertheless: Well done, Tomas !
Regarding FireFox, it is not stripped down, there is just an oxygen configuration set to hide window title, and an addon installed in firefox which adds the missing buttons to the tab bar and makes the window draggable by holding the tab bar.
I can confirm that the About dialog doesn't have window title. Anyway pressing Esc key closes it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the freeze after clicking Close on the taskbar.
Congratulations for the release, Tomas! The new blog design looks very good.
I will download Slax 7 when I get home.
Thank you very much!
Thank you tomas. Excellent work - years of hard and alot sleepless nights. Wow looks great. I LOOK FORWARD to your slax software center and future updates. Happy holidays... get some rest.
Good work Tomas. Videos, wifi, sound working properly.
As far I try no big problem I found, the problem small is when use Firefox for browsing Slax freeze randomly (maybe 0.5 to 2 seconds), but working fine after that.
Wating for strip down LibreOffice Module under 100MB, trying to txz2sb LibreOffice ~alien build the size 108 Mb, but not working at all because missing something
!!!!! I deleted changes.dat from FlashDrive (do this by file manager Dolpin), but file (or his ghost) still taking up space :(
Delete slax/07-ffox.sb from flashdrive, reboot, but firefox label still in start menu.
Firefox double click at adress or search bar - window changed size; when window expanded (full size) - click on top panel (where tabs) - it will be restored. Im new in Slax, pls tell me someone where i can find stuff like f package manage for wiew, install, uninstall packages? (i want to make own module by editing exists) What tools for working whith modules .bs?
My opinion - this OS is still raw and unfinished
PS sorry for my bad englsh)
when i attempted downloading both the .iso and the .zip file, a smaller file was downloaded. both files appeared to have all of their content but didnt run when i tried booting.
also, the bootinst.bat file didnt work when i tried opening it (in Windows XP Prof.)
Any help would be most apprieciated
Please put checksums, i download 3 times one file and, get different checksums
@ peter86
Read the 7th post from top .Tomas gave the link to the checksums.
Tomas , there doesn't seem to be a make_iso.sh or bat ?
Is this feature not supported /included in slax 7.
Hi Tomas,
Congratulations for this 7th Slax Opus !
You did it and give it in time.
Just some comments about this new site version.
- There is no blog history, so we can't access older pages.
- Not sure Requests will be appropriate to receive all users query. You should consider a bug report page and "officials" answers.
- Consider adding a search item too, because you'll got a lot of followers and without any forum, newer fans will spam your blog with always same questions
When did you expect give us a first release of Slax Internals ebook ?
Downloaded Russian 32 bit for USB is corrupt. Can you, please reupload? Thanx!
@jcsoh: thank you for answering other user questions.
make_iso.bat is not yet included. I was thinking about it too since I needed it at least once myself as well :) So I will probably add it there. It needs some other stuff though, mkisofs and cygwin, it will make Slax 1MB bigger or such which I didn't want for the initial release, 212MB is yet too much already :)
to Tomas M
replay to my post above, pls.
to Nikolay
Я Ñкачивал 2 верÑии Ð´Ð»Ñ USB и вÑе нормально ÑкачалоÑÑŒ, так что ищи проблему у ÑебÑ.
Why is Slax 7 code name "Green Horn" ? .Isn't it a bit negative since a Green Horn refers to someone who is fresh and new and have yet to master the trick of the trade, whereas, Slax 7 is "proud" product of evolution since Slax 1 ? (Was there a Slax 1 ? ). I only see a Slax 2 in Slax's mirrors).
It should be name "Golden Horn" or at least "Silver Horn"!
Regarding download speed, I'm moving some of the downloads to different servers transparently, so it should improve over time.
Regarding code name, greenhorn as a single word is something else than Green Horn as a two words. See google images for green horn :)
well dome Tomas M!.....good to have Slax back again with KDE4. waiting for some cool modules and software center for Slax, hope module section of new website will be available soon.
I tried, but the PPPoE connection not working. I know the user and password, but the PPPoE connection require more steps than know the user and password.
Regarding download, there was an issue with max clients limit on apache, it's now fixed. I'm sorry for the problems.
See google images for green horn :)
This ?
Wicked .....
'Green horn' on google returns a lot of images for me - from caterpillars to stuff which is not really legal in most countries ;)
Congrats for the release, also the new web looks very nice and clean.
Problem! i just create a bootable USB using Slax 7.0, it boots ok, but can't get Desktop yet, only a black screen after loading vmlinuz........... etc.
i boot with default options:
persistent: Yes
graphical desktop: Yes
Copy to RAM: No
what's the problem?
i even tried to boot (using iso file) using virtualbox under windows host, same result. no desktop coming, only black screen. My system is:
Notebook (AMD Athlon Dual Core, 2 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD)
plz help.
Thank you, guys! I'm loving slax! Please, enable p2p downloading, any torrent please.
Be uber cool when the modules page is up and running. Looking forward to trying it.
@geek: if you are a super hot women then let me know your phone number and address, else ... well .. else remain silent ;-)
Trying to download, but taking forever, after 2 hours 130 mb, dropping to 6kb/s, sigh.
And what an insult to Belgian folks, lol. Going for the English version instead.
DÃky za skvÄ›lou práci ! Doufám, že sponzoÅ™i jsou také spokojeni a že máš Äas i na svou rodinku :-)
Hodně štěstà a chuti do práce, užij si svátky :-)
a method to install Slax in hard disk like a regular linux distro will be great, Slax 7.0 is awesome! i'm thinking about using Slax as primary linux distro (dual boot with windows 8), for that, i need to install it in hard disk...
Take a look at http://old.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=83043
As long as your Windows8 hasn't been installed in UEFI mode you can use SInA.
It has been proven to work today.
Second time it has stopped now on an 1+ hour download when the download has 1-2 seconds left. It will run for a few minutes before it times out saying that the remote machine closed the connection. Please add mirrors, thanks.
been using heavily customised mint KDE(earlier KDE CE) as primary for about 8y and slax for 3y on all other comps in live mode, will change to slax7 as soon as download completes. if KDE experience is better I might replace it as my primary & only OS (of course after the requisite modules are available...
Thanks a lot...
please set up a torrent for English language(not all only one) so that any one can test it and download it fast ?
i found a post about installing Slax into hard disk: http://gr8idea.info/os/tutorials/slax/install.html
will it work for Slax 7.0? i can run Slax from FAT/FAT32 partition but persistent size will be limited to 4GB, so i want to boot slax from a hard disk partiton (size 15 GB) formatted in ext4, i have windows 7 installed too, so i need to install grub for dual boot. can anybody provide me with any guide to do that?
i know once slax had an installer called slax-installer or something like that for this purpose, what happend to that?
No problem downloading, nice and fast. Manual install on an old P4 test box multi-booting with Xubuntu,Zenwalk,Vector and a bunch of frugal Puppy installs........ everything basically good out of the box.
Hi, I love Linux operating systems based on Slax (the other one being Porteus). I really appreciate your wonderful work you put into Slax 7.0. By the way, Porteus has a great install to USB-Stick program that one can use directly from the CD (hint, hint :-D !), therefore, there's need to download a separate ZIP file. By the way, your current downloads are extremely slow and stopped suddenly that I have decided to give it a rest.
The new Slax looks more "grown-up", and is very, very and beautiful, but there's one thing that doesn't seem to work yet. I tried watching a video file or listening to an audio file, for that matter, from iba.org.il/media and smplayer can't handle it. It would be great if you could find or post a solution. In Porteus all I had to do is to assign gnome player handle it, and that was it.
Will you also have Skype and Gparted for Slax? These are basicially the only other two programs I miss (I like to keep my Slax based distros lean and mean). Thanks.
providing generic slax with additional language module pack can reduce total bandwith usage :p
@FlyOut: not at all. If the user is going to download Slax 212MB + Language 3MB then the download size is 215MB. Compared to 215MB of ISO bundled with the language, it's equal.
There is no forum in slax at this level of discuss.
(No link could be seen)
So when you ask someone to read a forum it's a non-sense.
At this time i haven't not seen any links about any forum...
Tomas M should put a link somewhere in this page.
(if he would like to be seen as more professionnal)
@tomas, Oh I agree
but If we need to Install secondary language and already have Slax English, only 3 MB download.
I totally agree with you in that point.
In fact, if Tomas would like salx to be known, he should create the ability to take the language .sb file for people who tries English release and then are happy to have 3 Mb to download only.
A good strategy is to put the most important languages such as German French Spanish English and Chinese for example in a special distro.
@Tomas M
1/ As I said the other day, there's no burn GUI software.
Many people may want to use slax but most guys don't know how to burn a CD with command line.
At least put pburn...
2/ The forum should be accessed va a link in the above menu at least in the doc area.
It's the best way to say that your distro is a serious one.
3/ NO hibernate or suspend to ram button ?
This is something I do recommend, because I've seen many people that really need that kind of features that all the distros I use have.
Only yours do not.
4/ At this time, I use slax in VirtualBOX, so I do not know if wifi runs appropriately or not.
The other days I said that it doesn't.
@Tomas M
2/ The forum should be accessed *VIA* a link in the above menu at least in the *Documentation* area.
Since you obviously don't comprehend that all the Slax sites are being redone I saved you the trouble of using a search engine
@Mr. Obvious
I'm a slax user so I know how to handle a forum.
You can see me there:
I ca say, that you don't understand my discuss:
It's not about a geek user, it's about someone who would like to use a distro [slax].
He needs to know where the forum is for example.
There is no link about a forum: this means that may be no forum exists.
A professional website have got a forum, slax does not have any, officially.
He it does then a link should be seen IN the MAIN page, not in an hidden place.
As I sum it up: it's not about me, it's about the best way to convince people to use slax.
There's no reason to use slax is no forums exists...
Please, before you write, think...
@Tomas M @Mr. Obvious
I've used Ubuntu and then switch to Linux Mint because there where some lacks of features in Ubuntu.
Who knew that Mint will be first in the past ? No one.
Now Mint is the First distro.
You could not be first without good features, forums, etc.
That's it.
Very nice! Can't wait to try it out (downloading now :-D)
Keep up the good work, and thank you!
A professional website have got a forum, slax does not have any, officially.
**IF** it does then a link should be seen IN the MAIN page, not in an hidden place.
*sorry for all my mistakes*
will we be able to build our "own slax flavour" in the site like in previous versions and download the custom iso? like without kde, with gparted etc...
i don't think tomas aims to be in the top 10 distros. slax is very specific.
tomas said he will promote a nw kind of "discussion threads", no forum atm, it's under development
Sorry I'm late!
I will try it as soon as possible.
"i don't think tomas aims to be in the top 10 distros."
If "popularity" or "ranking" is Tomas priority , the any regular forum users can tell , the two most common request / complaint is for /on:-
(a) To provide a gui based hard disk installer
(b) Better wifi support
By the way Tomas doesn't care for Distrowatch rannking.
Thanks for producing this. I've been using Slax for five years. I think it's the best and most stable OS I have used.
very nice!
german edition works fine! ...with support of the german umlauts (äöüß)
thank you
The flag for galician language is : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Bandeira_galega_civil.svg
Thanks for your good job!
Forgive me if I've missed it, but how does one add modules while the modules page is under construction? The loading into RAM and and the ease with which modules can be added is surely the grabber of this distro.
Thanks in advance - and, again, apologies if I'm missed something.
Looks very good. The 32 bit cd boots and seems to be fine.
The 32 bit USB also boots and seems to work. Firefox works well.
2 days ago the downloads were slow 12 to 90 KB and disconnected alot but eventually worked and the md5 matched.
Yesterday I downloaded the 64 bit zip from the same link as before and it downloaded around 1 MB and was fast. Good luck with the rest of what you're
trying to achieve.
I had a failed download effort yesterday. Failed at 3.1mb. I will try again. Maybe use a download manager.
"i don't think tomas aims to be in the top 10 distros"
So do I...
Despite what I said in the previous line, in THIS comment, a distro should aim to be in the first top 10... :-)
What I want to point out is:
if you would like to have a good distro (technically speaking), not the best ranking, you need to have good tools.
People won't flock to help you to improve your distro if tools are not ok.
That's it.
NB: Slackware is the best in my point of view and it is not number one at all anywhere.
Dziękuję, Slax 7.0 jest świetny!
Gratuluję i życzę powodzenia w dalszej pracy.
Pozdrowienia z Polski :)
Hi again,
I managed to download the ZIP file this morning. Two issues that I have found are Smplayer can not play any Windows files, .asx or .asp files. Wireless connection is in memory however, it fails to reconnect automatically after reboot.
Slax 7.0 official release stops during boot process after looking for slax data - lots of dots then process stops with hash prompt on next line.
Version is 64-bit (64 bit computer with 4 Gb RAM) and I have tried iso file using unetbootin as well as zip file using extraction then successfully running /boot shell script before rebooting. Same result each time.
I am really looking forward to using slax again after so many years in hibernation - actually i feel like that too :). Seems to combine the slickness and flexibility of distros like puppy with the visual appearance and access to sophisticated applications found in main stream distros like fedora which I have on other computers.
Very well done Tomas and thanks for all yours efforts in reviving Slax as a transformed being, but without loss of identity :). I know you must be very busy at the moment and so I shall be very patient for an answer - perhaps someone else can help?
My wireless (Intel 3945ABG) works only after creating sb from kernel-firmware-20120804git-noarch-1.txz. And then reboot, so it is only viable from a flash drive.
By the way, after disabling the MicroUtilities extension in Firefox, the min,max,close buttons on the whole window disappear. Even deleting the hidden folder .mozilla/ does not fix this. Not even downloading from firefox.com fixes this. At least File -> Quit still works.
Overall, it looks nice.
justdeath: Yes, the buttons from firefox disappeared after disabling the MicroUtilities. I wasn't sure, what's wrong, but now, when you mentioned it, it is suddenly obvious :-).
I was talking about this once before, but there is also problem with doubleclicking the address bar (to select the text) - it causes the window to maximize. It should maximize only by doubleclicking the window decoration. This problem occures only when the MicroUtilities addon is enabled.
Wow, I'm late for 2 days. Tomas, thank you for this wonderful job, my life "linux" can be divided into before and after of Slax, a complete operating system, ready to use and fully customizable, the version in Portuguese of Brazil was perfect, I have learned a lot from him and I am very happy with this new version with everything that's new. Again, thanks Tomas and thanks to everyone who helped and help this wonderful job.
Powered by Google Translator... =P
I'd like to suggest a change to the command prompt, from the default "bash-4.2#" to something more useful. How about PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' as seen on Slax6, Ubuntu, etc. ?
@Pocci: you expect me to know how to do that, right? :) If you provide proper explanation what file should I change to make the desired modification, I'm more likely willing to do that.
extra ordinary kde 4.9 in just 210MB and its live . its really good to see the devotion towards kde now puppy linux comes in 160 MB
Tomas M: Here is my .bashrc file from Gentoo, where is the prompt set to user@machine and the terminal has colors (ls and other commands have colored output): http://firstname.lastname@example.com/bashrc
Add the extra dot to the filename and put it in /root/.bashrc location. This is for one particular user, if you want to do it system wide. put the file to /etc/bash/bashrc (that's from where I took it from my Gentoo). But Slax has only the root user, so /root/.bashrc is good enough :-).
Hmm ... Generally I am seriously impressed by the expertise that went into creating this 210 MB KDE 4 distribution. Practically, after trying out the Slax 7 ISO on my netbook by booting from a physical, USB-connected, external CD/DVD drive (and not doing much inside Slax 7 except for looking around a bit), on the next boot Windows 7 claimed to be damaged and to require a restore from the last checkpoint. This, of course, should not happen at all. I cannot completely exclude the possibility that I may have done something inadvisable during the few seconds that I was trying out Slax 7. I also have no desire to repeat the test (putting my data at risk), and will therefore confine Slax 7 to a virtual machine from now on, Nevertheless, should more reports of dual-boot problems with Windows come in, then I strongly recommend to take them seriously.
Re my previous post the 32-bit version stops when booting in the same way as the 64-bit.
Excellent work with Slax .. Congrats. I have a question How did Firefox buttons that were next to the tabs?
Further to my previous posts, Slax also fails to boot in the same way on my samsung NP300 laptop. Incidentally, checksums had been successful.
Has anyone been able to boot successfully with any of the Slax 7.0 English (UK) versions?
Other live usb distros such as the latest Puppy and Fedora have been successful but I would prefer to use Slax.
There is no forum or thread to ask this question but does Slax 7 support the "changes" functionality of Slax 6 - e.g. store persistent changes on a separate device?
Excellent work, Tomas ! Thank you very, very much , and congratulations .
I became aware and started using Slax 6 some 2 years ago , but some problems with my hardware (wifi, audio) and modules installation made me gradually stop using it to attend some needs. Now I gave a try with Slax 7, and , wow !, everything worked perfectly from start. It put me back on the track of becoming a Slax adict .
Take a well deserved rest and have a wonderful end of year .
Answering Johnl , question just above my post :
This is the best improvement , in my opinion : you don´t need to specify anymore a readwrite device at startup . Slax 7 recognized automatically that it was booting from my USB pendrive and saved all changes , in wallpaper , etc. Awesome !
@rpguerra :
I know and that's great. I was playing with it last night. :)
Maybe this falls under "advanced" but with Slax 6 I could boot slax of a usb device but the changes file could be on a separate device like an external HD or locally with a PC (e.g. a changes file on a Windows partition).
When I used Slax I customised the install and added stuff like the latest version of gnome, other drawing tools. It's always practical to boot using the "from" parameter and a copy of the install on another device. The ability to have the changes file separate was useful.
Slax 7 doesn't support changes on a separate device yet, currently there is no ETA for this feature.
Regarding Windows 7 complaining to get corrupted, always make sure to shutdown Slax properly, do not just hit Reboot button, since if you accessed (mounted) your windows partitions in Slax, those are marked as in use and need to be properly unmounted during normal Slax shutdown.
Further to my previous posts, I have now got Slax 32-bit to boot on a fat32 partition, however brtfs doesn't boot on either 32 or 64.
Thanks for your reply Tomas.
That means I'll roll my sleeves up and get hacking.
I don't suppose there is any technical issues you're aware of that prevent this from working?
Well done Tomas. Slax is great alternative to other Linux distros
@johnl: actually I think the only task needed is to parse kernel command line and properly mount the given device as changes. For Slax it is a bit different, since there has to be error handling for the case when the device doesn't exist, has bad filesystem, refuses to mount, etc etc, with appropriate fallbacks ... that's a bit more coding ;)

شكرل توم
I was trying to sell such stuff few years ago and make ZERO sales. So it's not worth
@Tomas M, as requested by @Pocci to change the PS1 variable you can edit the section "# Set a default shell prompt:" in the file /etc/profile.
Further to previous posts re booting problems, I have now 64-bit slax working on ext2 partition. Without trying the whole range of formats, fat32 is also OK, but brtfs isn't.
@Tomas M, I connected my notebook to the TV via HDMI, KDE opened up the System Settings to set the screen size for both the TV and the notebook screen. I watched a movie and when I disconnected the HDMI cable my notebook screen is set to the correct size but all the letters in the KDE windows are very small. The font size in the task bar are ok with the correct size, but the font size in the windows' title, in the Firefox address bar and in the KDE's System Settigns are very small.
@thomas M,
Hello, I have a bug report to make even though it's not really a bug... When I try to set a new password for root and force slax to ask password at boot, it won't recognize the password... I have an azerty keyboard so I assume this is where the problem come from, but even when I try to type the password as my keaboard was a qwerty, it doesn't work either (keep saying my password is wrong)...
Thanks for Slax it's great ! Keep up the good work ! Have a nice week-end !
@Tomas M, Felicitaciones por tan magnifico trabajo. baje la final release de Slax version 7.0 la tengo instalada en el disco duro,sistema de archivos NTFS y le cree una entrada al grub,funciona de maravilla con cambios incluidos.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu trabajo.
@ Tomas M, Congratulations on such wonderful work. down the final version 7.0 release of Slax I have installed the hard disk, NTFS file system and create an entry to grub, works great with updates included.
Thank you very much for sharing your work.
Tried installing per directions in "Slax on USB device", but boot installer does not work.
Cannot open /dev/sdc

Incredible job!! Can someone (Thomas or someone else) please explain to me how you can fit all of this on such a small size iso when everybody else (except the minimalist scene) needs 700MB or more..? I think people should learn from what you are accomplishing in Slax!
Hi, I've Broadcom BCM4313 Wireless Adapter on my notebook. Which package should i download and install from Slackware's packages?
Excelente noticia! muy buen trabajo. Tengo una disto basada en Slax 6 en español y que uso en todos mis computadores. Es hora de actualizarla. Espero poder colaborar.
Felicitaciones y gracias por tu trabajo. Good job!
Hi there, it looks great and also works great :-)
In the past I worked a lot with the old slax, but this looks so much better and is fun to use ;-) Thanks a lot!
Just a quick note to say I received your SLAX USB key today here in the UK.
It works perfectly and also looks very cool!
Using Slax just now to send this message.
Now the fun begins (going to add some persistence modifications!)
Thanks for all your hard work Tomas.
Hello tomas. We have been discussing a lot about the automount of partition in slax 7. Could you do something about that. Even a modification of the fstab will not survive a reboot. Or do you propose a turnaround for those who would like to automount the partitions.
@francois.e: Actually the automount is not needed if you use KDE, since in that case partitions are automounted when you access them in Dolphin. If you on the other hand use text-mode then you surely know how to mount your partitions manually.
What are your particular needs? Why do you need the partitions automounted at all? Please describe, so I could better understand your request. Thank you.
Hi Tomas. Imagine you boot slax7 on a multi-disk machine, you must write some notes, so you open ie kwrite, punch something on the keyboard and want to "save as" your file; at this point, the panel opens on "Documents", which is part of the changes.dat file; but you keep your things in another folder on second disk. in the present way you must scan the disks to identify what is the second disk and choose the right place.
Just one of the situations.
Take a look please at the old forum, there is a thread about it.
I am not visiting the old forum. I understand the situation you just described, but in my opinion your conclusion is wrong. If the Save As dialog appears, and you are in the Documents folder, you should see a hotlinks to your hard drives (even if those are not mounted yet) at the left sidebar of the Save As dialog. There are few links such as "Home", "Network", "Root", "Trash", and under that there should be your drives listed. As soon as you click the drive it mounts automatically and you're able to save your files there. If you're missing them then it needs further investigation with 'blkid'.
One scenario, when you need automounted partitions, is for example music collection in Juk. You have to mount the disk manually first, or Juk won't be able to play the music. That is just theoretically speaking, I didn't try that, it's just an example.
Well, not theoretical at all.
Yes, it actually shows partitions, not drives, listed by meaningless partition sizes; in such environment I also have 3x160gB drives, all three shown as "160 Gb hard disk" or whatever is shown in each language. The problem I reported in the old forum rises in a situation similar to the one described above by Prcek. I would like to switch to slax7 this little Nas/dlna server but the sofware I successfully used before doesn't work, simply because none of the partitione listed in each configuration file is found.
In few words, so as it is, you can't use a machine with unattended boot or, that was my goal, even without monitor and keyboard, controlled only by remote desktop.
Seems to be a udisks2 issue perhaps, definitely Slackware 14 based issue.
Lots of complaints about udisks2 which seems to be more catered for commercial gnome than anything else.
People use linux with the command line. If Dolphine doesn't detect the drives, they don't get mounted. So if you run slax with out the GUI (one of the options at bootup), then the user is stuffed having to mount all his drives manually, provided they know which drives are which. This, together with negating priority for naming for the internal drives, is a step backwards for linux for everyone.
Speaking of GUI at boot up, last time with slax 6 we used to be able to execute command from the kernel boot parameters (?exec=xconf;startx), is this gone now or have I just missed it in the new docs? What exactly does the "xmode" slax parameter do? Is it in the initrfs or in slax (I can't find it)?
Also will Slax 7 support PXE in later releases like it used to?
Slax 7 not scanning wireless network. Its says using iwl3945 disconnected. What is the problem. I tried wicd module but no help.
Help to resolve issue or guide me were is the problem.
PXE is not planed at the moment.
xmode parameter gets into action in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/Slax.02.startup
udisks2 is not included in Slax. There is udisks (probably version 1).
Thanks Tomas. I thought I saw udisks2 in /var/log/packages - must be too tired and seeing things.
Thank you for your work on the new version of Slax! May I ask, how would you install the USB version of Slax onto a thin client type of device? It has flash memory as a hard drive along with RAM. What is the default file system type for the Linux install?
Remy Copy the contents of the slax to the flash disk and run the bootinst.bat (if the flash disk is formatted for Windows NTFS - Fat32 doesn't work for me for some reason, I have not investigated further) or bootinst.sh (if the flash disk is formatted to ext2/3/4.
Running live, slax is on aufs. I have installed it in frugal mode (as described above) on a hard drive formatted to ext4. Also I have installed it as a full Linux on a hard drive formatted to ext4 and ext3.
Neeraj you need the firmware. Try and use a wire to get internet to the machine and then search for the firmware module and activate it using the command in the command line:
slax activate kernel-firmware
After that remove your wifi module and reload it:
rmmod iwlwifi
modprobe iwlwifi
When you do the rmmod, if it complains it can't remove the module because of some other module that needs iwlwifi, remove that module first then remove iwlwifi.
I have tried lilo with UUIDs and it works fine. However the moment you plug in a usb drive/thumbdrive the whole thing fails again. It reports that it can't find the root device and asks to have the correct root defined and even tells the user which are devices available and lists them as /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, etc (with the external devices listed first instead of the internal hdd). The UUID section for all the devices is all 0s, ie: "0000-0000-0000-0000". All this while I have been working on my Core 2 Duo machines for development.
Then on a hunch I decided to boot Slax on my newer i5 and i7 machines and I discovered something funny. On the i5 and i7 machines, the internal hard drives are always detected FIRST unlike the Core 2 Duo machines where the external devices are detected first then the internal hard drives.
As Tomas mentioned the order of devices is kernel controlled since it is assigned right at bootup, but why the discrepency with older Core 2 Duo and newer i5/i7 machines? Bridge issues? If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your help. I just downloded kernel-firmware module from slax module page and it worked without doing anything else.
Are you from INDIA?
Thanks again.
i just tested the latest 32bit release and found that firefox is not opening up rest everything looks great.
Asking again, which module, or package to covert, should I install to use BCM4313 wireless adapter?
Ahmet, you need to download the new kernel and firmware. I'm not sure if Tomas has already created the modules for these based on my comments but I have recompiled the kernel and created an updated kernel module which works for users with the 4313 wireless card.
is there any solution to make Firefox works.
can i try to reinstall it.
what package i need and from where i get that.
Compiling kernel? Umm, I used to download and convert Slackware packages for Slax 6 :D Isn't there another easy way to do it? :D
At the moment you can download Slax 7.0.1 or newer, there is the suggested change already compiled in kernel (Broadcom SoftMac support, as kernel module), so you will hopefully no longer need to recompile kernel, just install the firmware module, which you can actually do through the Software Center icon at Slax desktop.
Can anyone help me to install skype in slax 7. I have downloded linux version from skype website its in tar.bz2 format. How to install and run it.
how to convert any linuz package to slax 7 compatible package?
@Tomas >>> ... which you can actually do through the Software Center icon at Slax desktop.
Irony is that I need an internet connection in order to connect to the internet :)
I think I gotta download kernel-firmware from Modules page. I'm gonna try this one with latest Slax version. Thanks :)
Will older modules for Slax 6 work with Slax 7?
And will Slax 7 support PXE booting?
hey people i have to sound card.

Hi Tomas :)
Ä°'m very happy for you released slax 7. i'm from turkey and thank you very very much for this. :))
and i want to ask you a question how i can install slax with my windows ? i want to use together slax and windows.
sorry for my terrible english
No matter how I try, I cannot get persistent changes to work on my eeepc 701 nor on my eeepc 1000. I'm using a 4GB usb drive. For example, I boot (with persistent changes asterisked, not copying to memory), change something (e.g. add a panel to the desktop), shutdown and boot (or just restart) and it comes up fresh. It doesn't remember wi-fi keys, KDE settings, Firefox history - nothing.
There's no changes.dat on the usb drive.
Everyone else seems to be able to use it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
ZdravÃm, jsem moc rád, že jste vydal novou verzi.
ChtÄ›l bych se zda bude ke staženà modul Virtualboxu pÅ™ÃpadnÄ› jestli je možné nÄ›jakou snadnou cestou použÃt virtualbox pro jiný systém.
Moc děkuji.............
I have the same problem:
Great distro,looking beautiful but I have an issue.My download speed is very slow.Its half lower then my real internet speed!?
I have not been able to boot slax on my home computer. It works fine on the computer at school. when I try to boot from a USB drive at home. The program loads and then I get a blank fuzzy green screen and can do nothing.
Just a question, i did the dual boot processing using EasyBCD, it works, having the "slax" folder in C:, but when slax boot, i get the login screen, i did the username and password things, got the Linux Kernel 3.2.. note but thats it, it doesnt lunch the KDE...
heres the note i use for menu_lst:
color black/cyan yellow/cyan

Slax 7 is a super cool light system. how to install slax 7 DLNA server (minidlna)? Slax 7 would be a good server, streaming media playback.
dont work
call to inusertemp failed(temporary directories full).check your installation.
how can i fix it to work
Great Linux distro.
Can you help me though installing it on a VirtualBox machine hard drive.
I can boot it from the ISO but is there any permanent installation to save our changes at rebooting?
The purpose of this is to test it completely and installed it on Wyse Thin client instead of Windows 7 Embedded version.
Thanks for your support in advance.

If you're the poor sucker in charge of designing a mid-peninsula high-speed rail station, here's what you must do: start with the ridership estimates for full 2035 system build-out, and apply Technical Memo 2.2.2 (station design policy) as handed down from above by Parsons Brinckerhoff, the firm in charge of the HSR system design. Table 6.1 has all the relevant formulas that you'll need to size the outer concourse, controlled waiting areas, how many restrooms, etc. All that remains is to plug and chug the formulas and presto, you've got yourself a station.
The result of this formulaic approach to station design can be seen in the recent sizing study for a potential mid-peninsula station at Mountain View, which is very similar to the notions also being entertained for Palo Alto or Redwood City. Key statistics: about 8000 daily HSR boardings, 67000 square feet of floor area (not including platforms), and 3000 parking spaces.
Implicit Requirements
While the technical policy and system requirements do contain a variety of clearly stated requirements concerning station design, many of the requirements are not stated, but instead taken for granted. They are implicit requirements. The following is an attempt to make them explicit:
- The station shall funnel every passenger through a sequence of functional spaces that broadly mimic an airport.
- The station shall be divided into a public concourse and an access-controlled area requiring possession of a valid ticket.
- The station shall have a mezzanine, a large access concourse located above or below the platforms that provides the "necessary" floor area to funnel passengers from a grand station entrance (complete with "entry plaza") through "check-in", shops and restaurants, and possibly "security" to a "gate".
- The HSR platforms shall be used exclusively by high speed trains, and may not under any circumstance be shared with Caltrain. The same track and platform edge may not be served by both HSR and Caltrain. The same platform at opposite platform edges may not be served by both HSR and Caltrain.
- The HSR platforms shall be fully access controlled with high fences, even if such fence is used to segregate the HSR platform from an adjacent Caltrain platform.
- Passengers transferring between HSR and Caltrain shall use escalators and transit via the mezzanine. Maximum vertical circulation is encouraged, and convenient cross-platform or same-platform transfers are explicitly disallowed.
- The station shall have gargantuan amounts of automobile parking (1000 spaces at the station, and another 2000 spaces within 3 miles).
Another Way
It doesn't have to be this way. In France or Germany, any bum off the street can drag a large suitcase onto a high-speed train five minutes before departure without ever passing through a security check or a fare gate. Tickets are checked on board, using what's known as proof-of-payment or POP: if you can't produce a valid ticket when asked, you are issued a citation. POP obviates all this sterile-area gated fare-paid-only nonsense, with enormous simplification of the process of getting from point A to point B.
Is POP a gaping security hole? Not if you consider that bombs brought on board high-speed trains are a rather unreliable way to achieve mass carnage. That's why over several decades, such an attack has only been carried out once, and then rather unsuccessfully. The target environment will necessarily be far richer over on the Caltrain platform. Terrorists in Madrid knew this when they attacked at Madrid's main HSR terminal; all their bombs went off on packed commuter trains. So, a rational evaluation of threats (one not based on security theater) leads to the conclusion that HSR need not look like a BART fortress on steroids.
In Europe, land of POP, commuter rail and HSR routinely share platforms, leading to far more efficient use of space inside stations. For example: Paris, Berlin, Karlsruhe, Hamburg (on a sacrilegious curved platform, no less!), Brussels, and dozens more.
The graphic below shows the differences between the gargantuan mid-peninsula dial-a-station proposed by the CHSRA (and rightly rejected by Mountain View, Palo Alto and Redwood City) and a mid-peninsula station of far more modest proportions, that could be achieved without any loss of functionality provided that the following simple requirements are adopted:
- HSR shall use barrier-free fare control
- Caltrain shall use the same platform height as HSR
- Stations shall allow any train to use any track to access any platform
- Stations shall minimize vertical and horizontal circulation needed to access any train
At a time when the HSR project is increasingly under attack for being insensitive to peninsula communities, perhaps a reevaluation of station requirements would improve the chances of someday achieving a context-sensitive solution. Mountain View, for example, could have the highly-effective, low-impact intermodal station previously described in this space.

For those who just felt the earth shake in Northern California, the U.S. Geological Survey says there was a 4.0 magnitude temblor in the "San Francisco bay area" at 5:33 a.m. local time (8:33 a.m. ET).
There's no word yet on whether there was much, if any, damage.
The USGS says the quake was centered about 1 mile from El Cerrito, Calif.
Earlier today, a 6.1 magnitude quake was felt in Argentina. It was not in an heavily populated area.
Update at 10:25 a.m. ET. Just "Another Earthquake." The San Francisco Chronicle writes that:
"The quake gave the employees at a Starbucks cafe on San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito a pretty good jolt." 'Everything was moving, for a minute maybe,' said an employee who said she believed the quake was 'harder than the others,' referring to a previous swarm of quakes centered in Berkeley last year. A colleague said, 'It was a big shake in the store. Nothing fell.' He appeared to be taking things in stride, saying, 'It was another earthquake. We have earthquakes in California.'

Army Sgt. Maj. Todd Burnett spent about three years in Iraq hunting for improvised explosive devices, also knows as IEDs.
"I can remember going out and one week I got blown up three times," Burnett says. He says back then, it wasn't whether you were going to get blown up, it was just a matter of when you were going to get blown up.
The IED, which is essentially a homemade bomb, became the weapon of choice for the insurgency in Iraq. The U.S. has officially declared the end of the war there, but one lasting legacy will be the IED and how it changed the way the U.S. thinks about warfare.
Burnett is an Army combat engineer. Combat engineers are not the guys who actually disarm the bombs, but are instead the guys who clear the roads. They spot the IEDs in the first place.
"First of all we'd love to find the IED before it blows us up, but if not, our job was for it to blow us up rather than blow somebody else up that is in a less protected vehicles," he says.
The greatest producer of causalities on the battlefield in the 20th century was artillery, and my assessment is the IED is the artillery of the 21st century.
In the early years of the war, U.S. troops were driving around a lot in Humvees with little to no armor. Tony Cordesman, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says nobody was prepared for the insurgency. He's looked extensively at IEDs and how the threat took hold in Iraq and evolved.
"Initially [IEDs] were very crude; all you had to do was put a detonator on and you could turn a bomb or an artillery shell into what later came to be called an improvised explosive device," Cordsman says.
Year after year, the IED attacks in Iraq became more frequent and more deadly.
"As we developed better ways to patrol, they developed better ways to detonate," he says.
In 2007 alone, there were 33,900 IED attacks against U.S. troops. IEDs became the signature weapon for insurgents, who didn't have to stand and face a stronger, better-equipped U.S. military. Instead, they could plant these cheap devices on roads and foot paths. For American troops, one wrong step could be fatal.
"It wore on us very heavily because if somebody got hurt in our battle space by an IED, we took it very personal," Burnett says. "We always wondered after we go through, 'are they putting it in, or did we miss it?'"
In 2006, the Pentagon set up an office to deal with the worsening threat known as the Joint IED Defeat Organization. Their goal: get the protection and equipment that troops in the war zones need to deal with IEDs.
"We weren't created to go through some 3- or 4-year acquisition process. We are here to rapidly produce capabilities and we have been doing that," says Lt. Gen. Michael Barbero, the current director of the office.
Barbero says the impulse was to get the troops what they needed fast, no matter the cost. The money started to add up; this year's budget alone is $2.8 billion. Armored vehicles, high-tech surveillance gear, remote-controlled robots: all to fight a homemade bomb that costs about $30 dollars to make.
"A $31 bag of fertilizer and we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on sensors and protective devices," says Barbero. "We've got to drive down the cost of dealing with this enduring threat."
Even with all of that money spent on technology, Burnett says the number-one tool on the battlefield is a well-trained soldier and his eyes.
"That's what's finding IEDs," he says.
And they'll be looking for those IEDs for a while to come. Barbero says just because the war is over in Iraq doesn't mean the threat goes away.
"The greatest producer of causalities on the battlefield in the 20th century was artillery, and my assessment is the IED is the artillery of the 21st century," Barbero says. "It is here to stay. Wherever our forces go, they're going to be dealing with this."
One place U.S. troops are still dealing with IEDs is not Iraq, but in Afghanistan, where they are still driving on uncleared roads, walking foot patrols and looking out for the dangerous, homemade explosives.

Vicki said,
"London is so much greener.
Paris has grandeur, but London is the greener of the two cities."
It gave me pause. Vickie lives half in Provence, half in London, so I'll take her word for it. London is incredibly green.
Hedges here are huge.
Both literally. And figuratively, hedges seem to be highly desirable. Mini-hedges for your window box if you don't own a manor house surrounded by huge hedges.This pub uses their hedge as a sign post:
"Those who give up
smoking aren't the heros.
The real heros are the rest of us,
who have to listen to them."
There's a ton of London greenery at the new Royal Academy Summer show like this is a tree-size painting.
Painter Olha Pryymak took me along to the private view as her guest. This is the second year she's hung a painting in the show. More to come on the exhibit later.
I met photographer/author Sue Snell by chance, foraging at a framers. We got chatting. Sue invited me to a book signing at Rococo Chocolates on Motcomb Street. You don't pass that up under any circumstances. Sue's book on the Vanessa Bell/Duncan Grant Gardens at Charleston is green, green and more luscious green. Note hedges outside Rococo Chocolates.
Fun gorgeous apple-green shoes. Do not ask me to order them for you.

Investors are waiting, many not so eagerly, for a look at how Apple did in the first three months of the year.
It's been a while since anyone's talked about the Cupertino, Calif.-based tech leader's stock price hitting $1,000. Instead, Apple shares have dropped 44 percent since September amid, as Mashable writes, "software blunders, supply constraint rumors, executive shakeups, increasing competition from Samsung and Google, and a growing concern that it might not have another breakthrough product in the pipeline."
Expectations for Apple's first-quarter earnings -- and, more importantly, any hint of an outlook -- are mixed but mostly lower. Here's a sampling:
"Not only is Apple expected to post an earnings decline for the first time in a decade, but some analysts believe the company will lower its outlook for the current quarter as growth in sales of iPhones and iPads slows in the face of stronger competition and a market that's less enchanted by its latest offerings.
"Even hopes that the cash-rich company will soon announce an increase in its dividend or stock buyback programs aren't expected to send the stock soaring the way it did last year. The one thing the company could do Tuesday that might change investors' sentiment is to answer the question that it never will: What's next?"
"Unlike in prior quarters, there is not a high probability scenario that can be laid out with any degree of confidence ahead of earnings."
"Conventional wisdom has it that Apple has reached its peak and can only disappoint from now on. ... While Apple is certainly not doomed, its future looks gloomy. That's why today's earnings will be important for the company."
The Business Insider's Jay Yarow writes:
"I think it comes down to the fact that Apple created and captured a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with the iPhone.
"And, the era of explosive iPhone growth has drawn to a close, at least at the current iPhone price points.
"Apple will continue to grow earnings and profits nicely. The company will remain robustly healthy. But the mind boggling days of 125 percent EPS growth and 82 percent revenue growth are over."

The context was mulled-wine serving--about which we must first have an aside. You don't get it as much at Christmastime in the US--probably because we have our standard Christmas drink, egg nog, instead. But when I moved to the Midwest, home of many Scandinavian-descended peoples, I did come to know it well. And, whenever we served it (back in the days when I was living with a Scandinavian-descended person), we served it in hot drink vessels--coffee mugs or the like. In restaurants, it might be in the kind of glass mug in which you'd be served a caffe latte. But whenever it is served in the UK (in my now-extensive experience of southern English Christmas parties), it is served in wine glasses. Is this a universal difference between the US and the UK, I wonder?
But back to our party: Better Half asked whether anyone would like a top-up (of mulled wine) and the Brooklynite commented (something like): "Now there's a linguistic difference. We'd say refill."
And I thought, "Oh yeah, we would, wouldn't we?" Americans refill drinks, the British top them up. In the UK, the common American experience of (orig. and chiefly AmE) bottomless coffee (i.e. free refills) is not common at all, but in the US, the (AmE, often jocular) waitron will flit from table to table, coffee pot in hand, asking "Can I get you a refill?" or "Can I warm that up for you"? If this were to happen in the UK, it would be most natural to ask if the customer would like a top-up.
But the other common use of top-up these days is what you do to a pay-as-you-go (BrE) mobile/(AmE) cell phone. (The picture is a common site in the windows of (BrE) corner shops and (BrE) petrol/(AmE) gas stations in the UK.) Which led me to wonder: what do Americans say for that? Pay-as-you-go phones are much more common in the UK than in the US, but from what I can gather from the interwebs, refill is used in this context too. Here's a 2004 news release about an American "prepay" phone service:
As always, Verizon Wireless prepay service allows customers to refill their minutes over the phone, at a Verizon Wireless Communications Store, online, as well as at RadioShack, Circuit City and other authorized agents.You could also in the UK use top(-)up for a number of other things that are refreshed by the addition of more of something. For instance, you could get a top-up loan (well, maybe not in the current economic climate), a top-up dose of an(a)esthetic and you can top up your tank with petrol/gas. The phrasal verb top up is only cited from 1937 in the OED, and the noun top-up only from 1967, explaining why it's not as common in AmE. American readers, what would you use in these contexts?

787 Dreamliners Grounded, But Batteries Can Fly
At the same time the government certified Boeing's 787 Dreamliners as safe, federal rules barred the type of batteries used to power the airliner's electrical systems from being carried as cargo on passenger planes because of the fire risk.
Now the situation is reversed.
Dreamliners worldwide were grounded nearly three weeks ago after lithium ion batteries that are part of the planes led to a fire in one plane and smoke in a second. But new rules exempt aircraft batteries from the ban on large lithium ion batteries as cargo on flights by passenger planes.
In effect, that means the Dreamliner's batteries are now allowed to fly only if they're not attached to a Dreamliner.
"The potential for self-ignition, for uncontained fires, is huge."
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger, former US Airways pilot
The regulations were published on Jan. 7, the same day as a battery fire in a Japan Airlines 787 parked at Boston's Logan International Airport that took firefighters nearly 40 minutes to put out. The timing of the two events appears coincidental.
Pilots and safety advocates say the situation doesn't make sense. If the 787's battery system is too risky to allow the planes to fly, then it's too risky to ship the same batteries as cargo on airliners, they said.
"These incidents have raised the whole issue of lithium batteries and their use in aviation," said Jim Hall, a former National Transportation Safety Board chairman. "Any transport of lithium batteries on commercial aircraft for any purpose should be suspended until (an) NTSB investigation is complete and we know more about this entire issue."
Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, a former US Airways pilot famed for his precision flying that enabled passengers and crew to survive an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York, said in an interview that he wouldn't be comfortable flying an airliner that carried lithium ion aircraft batteries in its cargo hold.
"The potential for self-ignition, for uncontained fires, is huge," he said. The new regulations "need to be looked at very hard in the cold light of day, particularly with what has happened with the 787 batteries."
The battery rules were changed in order to conform U.S. shipping requirements with international standards as required by Congress, the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said in a statement.
The International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. agency that sets global aviation standards, adopted the aircraft battery cargo exemption in October 2011, and it went into effect Jan. 1. The organization's standards normally aren't binding. But a provision inserted into U.S. law at the behest of the battery industry and their shippers says the rules can't be stricter than the U.N. agency's standards.
Previously, U.S. regulations prohibited the shipment of lithium ion batteries on passenger planes in packages weighing more than 11 pounds, although heavier batteries could be shipped on cargo planes.
The new rules allow the shipment of lithium ion batteries weighing as much as 77 pounds, but only if they are aircraft batteries. Shipments of other lithium ion batteries greater than 11 pounds are still prohibited. The 787's two batteries weigh 63 pounds each. It's the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium ion batteries, which weigh less and store more power than other batteries of a similar size.
The aircraft battery exemption was created for the convenience of the airline industry, which wants to be able to quickly ship replacement batteries to planes whose batteries are depleted or have failed. Sometimes it's faster to do that using a passenger plane.
The NTSB is investigating the cause of the 787 battery fire in Boston. Japanese authorities are investigating a battery failure that led to an emergency landing by an All Nippon Airways 787 on Jan. 16. All Dreamliners, which are operated by eight airlines in seven countries, have since been grounded.
The International Air Transport Association, which represents U.S. airlines and other carriers that fly internationally, asked for the aircraft battery exemption at the October 2011 meeting of the U.N. agency's dangerous goods committee.
The association argued that the exemption would give airlines "significant operational flexibility in being able to move aircraft batteries on a passenger aircraft where cargo aircraft may not be available over the route, or within the time required if a battery is required at short notice," according to a copy of the request obtained by The Associated Press.
Since the batteries have to meet special safety standards in order to be installed on planes, "it is believed that exceeding the (11-pound) limit for passenger aircraft will not compromise safety," the request said.
Some members of the committee opposed allowing shipments of lithium ion aircraft batteries on passenger planes, saying safety regulations that let the batteries be used onboard planes don't necessarily ensure they can be transported safely as cargo, according to a summary of the meeting posted online by the U.N. agency.
"One member had discussed this proposal with an engineer in their (country's) airworthiness office who was familiar with standards for batteries installed in aircraft," the summary said. "This colleague did not believe testing standards for installed aircraft batteries warranted special treatment for transport purposes." It was pointed out that the safety standards applied to batteries used in the operation of an aircraft are "narrowly tailored to performance issues and how the battery interacted with aircraft systems," the summary said.
The summary doesn't identify the committee member, but a source familiar with the deliberations said it was the U.S. representative, Janet McLaughlin. She abstained from the vote on the standards, said a federal official with knowledge of the meeting. Neither source was authorized to comment publicly and both spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The Japan Airlines fire ignited about half an hour after the plane had landed in Boston and nearly 200 passengers and crew members had disembarked. Firefighters were alerted after a cleaning crew working in the plane smelled smoke. It took nearly 40 minutes to put out the fire.
The "multiple systems" that were designed to prevent the 787's batteries from catching fire "did not work as intended," Deborah Hersman, the current NTSB chairman, told reporters recently. The "expectation in aviation is never to experience a fire on an aircraft," she said.
Concern about transport of lithium ion aircraft batteries on passenger planes isn't limited to the batteries used in the 787. The Airbus A350, expected to be ready next year, will also make extensive use of lithium ion batteries.
Aircraft manufacturers are also considering retrofitting some planes to replace their batteries with lithium ion batteries to save weight, according to the airline association. The less a plane weighs, the less fuel it burns. Fuel is the biggest operating expense of most airlines.
Cargo airline pilots long have complained about the dangers of transporting lithium batteries. The batteries are suspected of causing or contributing to the severity of an onboard fire that led to the September 2010 crash of a United Parcel Service plane near Dubai, killing both pilots. The two pilots of another UPS plane barely managed to escape the aircraft before it was consumed by fire moments after landing in Philadelphia in 2006.
Lithium-ion batteries can short circuit and ignite if they are improperly packaged, damaged or have manufacturing defects. Fires involving rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can reach 1,100 degrees, close to the melting point of aluminum, a key material in the construction of most airliners.

GPS Problems
From Openmoko
See GPS for details on how to evaluate the Neo FreeRunner GPS with command line utilities.
Contents |
Problem: it takes a long time (10min+) before the FreeRunner gets first GPS data
It was found that the Openmoko FreeRunner GPS has a long Time To First Fix (TTFF) when there is an SD card in the phone. This thread indicates that there is interference from the SD card slot: TTFF is much shorter without an inserted SD card.
- More specific: the GPS signal level drops by 20dB, i.e. a factor of 100. Signal strength of a GPS satellite above your head is around -127dBm. Needed strength for a first fix is -145dBm with a minimum of three satellites. Once the GPS chip has a fix, it can operate at signal levels of -157dBm, thus making it possible to operate while there is data transfer from/to the SD card.
- (From http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-July/022202.html )
NOTE: It seems that in the newer version of the hardware, a compensating capacitor is now present. So this problem should be fixed with newer devices. First noticed on 20080724 and confirmed on 20080830. You can check if it has the fix by looking for the capacitor beneath the SD card, as shown in this PDF file. |
NOTE: The capacitor also appeared on a 20080723 purchased from Pulster vendor. |
A software workaround has been released as a kernel patch and may be acquired simply by doing an "opkg update" and "opkg upgrade" and then rebooting your FreeRunner. This workaround effectively turns off the SD card clock when the SD card is not being used. You can then use the SD card simultaneously with GPS, except for the first approximately 30 seconds.
Openmoko is soliciting the assistance of the community to test the effectiveness of this software fix. The experiment consists of a series of measurements in different conditions, prior to applying the software fix and then after applying the software fix. Please visit FreeRunner GPS Software Fix TTFF Measurement Test for instructions to participate and to see the results so far of this test.
Openmoko has examined a hardware solution: soldering a 10 pf capacitor between SD card pin 5 (clk) and pin 6 (Vss) File:Gta02 gps 10pf rework sop.pdf and more detailed File:SOP for GPS capacitor rework.pdf. This effectively restores GPS performance to the levels obtained without the SD card inside. The rework is not suggested to end users without hardware soldering technique and equipment. This rework is done on all the new fabricated Neo FreeRunners
- Speedevil's Shop for a UK service to perform this operation on your freerunner, or globally shipped 10pF capacitor.
- Digikey for the capacitor.
The following is based on Alasal's post to the community mailing list.
- What is TTFF?
- TTFF means Time To First Fix of the GPS. This is the time the GPS needs to get the first clue on where you are on planet earth. So you have to do this only once. After you have a FF (first fix), you can get more fixes without any problems with the SD card in the phone.
- So if we have a first fix, the SD card doesn't block the GPS anymore?
- Yes, the SD card doesn't block the GPS if we have a first fix. (Some people even claim it's more stable)
- Why do we need a first fix?
- According to Al Johnson, the Antares4 chip on the GTA02 doesn't have the memory needed to store almanac and ephemeris, last known position or time. This means that every start is a true cold start. It is possible to save location, almanac and ephemeris at GPS shut down, and restore these information at the next startup, but that does not seem implemented yet.
- Does the lower signal also affect accuracy?
- It is a good deal more jittery. However, if you drive around in a city you will get a lot more error from signal reflections than from the jitter.
- (From http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-July/022209.html )
- Do they have a solution?
- Yes. There is already a highly alpha software workaround. The software just turns off the SD card clock when the SD card is not being used. They are also examining a hardware solution.
- The software fix is still in testing. Expect first results this noon (Thursday, 17th July 2008) (Taipeh time).
- Also, the hardware fix needed is rather easy. No need to open the shielding or housing. We are working on a document which gives you detailed instructions.
- (From http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-July/022242.html )
- Do we have to return our FreeRunners to Openmoko?
- Probably not, because the software workaround should work too.
- But we can't read from the SD card when the GPS is on?
- Wrong, you will be able to read the SD card when the GPS is on. The clock for the SD card used to run constantly. Now the kernel turns it off when the SD card is not in use. As long as you are not constantly reading from the SD card, you should see much better first fix times. Obtaining a GPS fix does not affect SD performance.
- Did Openmoko test the GPS with a SD card in it?
- Yes.
- Why didn't they find it while testing the FreeRunner?
- Because they have to do the tests with a fake GPS signal and with that signal it worked (In a fab you don't have a decent GPS signal). They have already modified the test, so it corresponds to the GPS signal better.
Information about faulty antennas
- If removing the SD card doesn't help and you suspect your antenna, try unplugging and replugging the internal GPS connector. (See Disassembling_Neo1973 about 2/3 of the way down. (this also applies to the Freerunner, since it's the same case)
- Also note that there is a trac ticket for this issue: #1542
- FreeRunner GPS antenna repair SOP indicates that some (rare?) units may have bad soldering, and includes a guide to fix. This will presumably void your warranty.

SEALs in training in California might find themselves in enemy territory, with only their survival kits — and wits — to keep them alive.
SEALs aren't supposed to find themselves in trouble that they can't get out of. That's why the Navy is seeking to buy 300 new survival kits for the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, sometimes known as Navy SEAL Team 6.
They're the guys who raided Osama bin Laden's compound in May 2011 and sent him on an all-expenses-paid trip to the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Save for the downed stealthy MH-60 Black Hawk chopper, the mission was a grand success. But, being military men, they have to prepare for worst-case scenarios. That's where Wednesday's solicitation for what they call Personnel Recovery and Survival Kits comes in.
"The Naval Special Warfare Development Group (NSWDG) has a requirement to procure personnel recovery and survival kits (part number 0293-D) on a brand name or equal basis," it says. "The brand name is SOLKOA [visit their website here]. If quoting an equal product, vendor shall provide all salient characteristics in order to be considered for award."
(PHOTOS: Navy SEALs in Action)
While Navy folks didn't rush to answer Battleland's questions about how much the kits are expected to cost, and if they've changed recently, it's neat to peek inside to see what's there.
But first of all, the SEALs have been known to wreck things. Like helicopters. So the survival kits – a complete kit includes both hard and soft cases — have to be able to endure SEAL abuse.
The hard case is 4-by-2-by-1.2 inches, weighing six ounces or less, and available in both "Desert Tan" or "OD/Forest Green."
Beyond those particulars, the hard case shall be:
– Capable of limited cooking without effecting the container finish (i.e. paint bubbling)
– Capable of being used as a limited digging implement without affecting its ability to house contents (simultaneous function of digging and housing not required).
– Shall have a weather resistant gasket able to keep out water during minor water immersion (i.e. river crossings, swimming)
– Shall have a fastening system that is reuseable and secure to prevent accidental openings
– Top surface of kit must have permanently affixed a 2" x 3" piece of loop fastener (i.e. soft side of velcro)
– Ruggedized to take heavy abuse while carried without damage to inner contents
– Case shall securely hold all items below without rattling or other noises.
The soft case, measuring 3.5 by 2.25 inches, will feature a U.S. flag patch (so much for keeping your nationality secret, although one has to believe it's removable), be "subdued desert in color" and feature a "hook fastener (i.e. hard side of velcro) sewed to back with a slit in order to store and retrieve contents below yet hold contents down while worn."

How to pack survival kits for stranded special-operations forces has been a subject the U.S. military has dealt with for at least the past half-century, according to this Army contracting guidance from back then:
An individual engaged in unconventional warfare and counter-guerrilla operations is frequently exposed to possible capture. In counter-guerrilla operations, indigenous elements with which a US soldier is working may be dispersed, causing complete separation of the soldier from the unit. While in an operational area, he must be continuously prepared to initiate evasive action and conceivably to continue evading for an extended period of time. His possession and proper use of a suitable survival kit may be the critical factor in effecting a successful juncture with friendly personnel. Therefore, there is a requirement for an individual aid and survival kit for issue to personnel participating in special warfare operations.
As you read down its list of suggested contents, one thing is perfectly clear: the art of survival hasn't changed that much in 50 years.
The first item listed is "a small, simple, all-weather fire-making device is desired" – "Matches, irrespective of type, are not desired."
The Army also wanted these early kits to contain water-purification tablets, first-aid supplies, as well as a "capability for the user to kill, snare, or otherwise catch small game and fish."
One other must-have: "a tool for cutting vines, palm fronds, or foliage for construction of shelter."
Makes sense.

The three primary biorhythm cycles are:
Emotional: This cycle tracks the stability and positive energy of your psyche and outlook on life, as well as your capacity to empathize with and build rapport with other people.
Intellectual: This cycle tracks your verbal, mathematical, symbolic, and creative abilities, as well as your capacity to apply reason and analysis to the world around you.
Physical: This cycle tracks your strength, health, and raw physical vitality.
      The three secondary cycles that derive from the primaries are:
Mastery: This is the composite of the Intellectual and Physical cycles. Mastery encompasses your ability to succeed at tasks and to obtain what you desire. This cycle also tracks athletic ability and the focus required to learn physical skills.
Passion: This is the composite of the Physical and Emotional cycles. Passion encompasses your motivation to act, and the drive that allows you to continue a difficult pursuit. This cycle also tracks sexuality in its purest form.
Wisdom: This is the composite of the Emotional and Intellectual cycles. Wisdom encompasses your understanding of the world, your role in it, and the things that are truly important to your life. This cycle also tracks the presence of mind that you need to make crucial decisions.

By Mr. CARDIN (for himself, Mr. BROWNBACK, Mr. WHITEHOUSE, and Mrs. SHAHEEN):
S.J. Res. 37. A joint resolution calling upon the President to issue a proclamation recognizing the 35th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act; to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr. CARDIN. Mr. President, as Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, I am pleased today to introduce, together with fellow Senate Commissioners BROWNBACK, WHITEHOUSE and SHAHEEN, a resolution marking the historic Helsinki Final Act, signed by President Ford and the leaders of thirty-four other nations on August 1, 1975. The Final Act provides a comprehensive framework for advancing security in all its aspects through the military security, economic and human dimensions.
For more than three decades, the Final Act and the process it set in motion, have served as an important vehicles for advancing U.S. interests in the expansive OSCE region and beyond. In a very real sense, the Helsinki process was a catalyst that helped usher historic changes in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In his Berlin speech as candidate, President Obama emphasized that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom–a struggle in which freedom eventually prevailed in bringing down the walls of a divided city, country and continent. The years following the fall of the Berlin Wall have witnessed stunning successes as well as serious setbacks, notably the genocidal war that raged through the Balkans, including the massacre at Srebrenica.
The principles reflected in the Final Act have withstood the test of time and proven their enduring value as we seek to address lingering and new challenges. A survey of developments in the OSCE, now comprising 56 participating States, is a reminder of the scale of work that remains: from simmering tensions throughout the Caucasus region and so-called frozen conflicts elsewhere to violations of fundamental freedoms. There are a number of troubling trends in the human dimension: from the harassment, persecution and physical attacks on journalists and human rights defenders to the adoption of restrictive laws aimed at reigning in freedom of religion and other fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression and assembly. Other longstanding concerns include the plight of national minorities and Roma as well as other manifestations of discrimination and intolerance, particularly anti-Semitism.
The OSCE is uniquely positioned to contribute to efforts to address these and other issues in the military security, economic and human dimensions. Indeed, a large body of common commitments has been agreed to over the years, beginning with the Helsinki Final Act. The challenge remains to translate these words on paper into meaningful action. As parliamentarians, we have a unique role to play in advancing the aims of the Helsinki Final Act and security in all of its aspects, including efforts to promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law. This was evident at the just concluded OSCE Parliamentary Assembly meeting in Norway, where many human rights and other concerns were voiced by the U.S. delegation and others. Among several initiatives we undertook at the Oslo meeting was a resolution on investigative journalists I introduced as a follow up to a recent Helsinki Commission hearing on "Threats to Free Media in the OSCE Region."
As one who has been active in the Helsinki Process for many years and as Commission chairman, I want to underscore the vital role played by NGOs in advancing the aims of the Helsinki Accords. For over three decades the Helsinki Commission has worked closely with NGOs focused on a wide-range of human rights concerns.
In closing, I recall the remarks by Soviet human rights defender Dr. Andrei Sakharov made while he and his wife were living in internal banishment in the early 1980's as punishment for standing up to the authorities in defense of fundamental freedoms: "The Helsinki Accords, like detente as a whole, have meaning only if they are observed fully and by all parties. No country should evade a discussion on its own domestic problems. ….. Nor should a country ignore violations in other participating states. The whole point of the Helsinki Accords is mutual monitoring, not mutual evasion of difficult problems." At the Helsinki Commission we take seriously our mandate to uphold the principles enshrined in the Final Act, especially respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Thirty-five years after its signing, the Helsinki Final Act remains an enduring charter for European security in all its aspects.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the joint resolution be printed in the RECORD.
