How to solve this:
I've installed GIMP 2.7.1 (OS Slax), but it doesn't work. Clicking on icon doesn't start GIMP.
In Shell:
kdesu /usr/bin/gimp
gimp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgegl-0.1.so.0: undefined symbol: g_dgettext
I cannot run most of apps, including mono.
Is it possible to install new slax module (from slax site) on ancient backtrack 2? Or it won't work because of versions? I would like to update tor by installing this module on bt2:

I am running Slax Linux from my USB drive and now I want to install it in my computer. What should I do?.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, I was playing with Fathom's new Slax Remix with Zen kernel 2.6.33 and decided to try a manual install to hdd and see if it would boot. [URL]. New slax remix is here: [URL]I surprised when after doing the install I ended up with a beautiful and fully functional KDE desktop all in 860MB of space! Although many things will break if upgrading, etc. I was impressed that with KDE running it was only using about 140MB ram! incl cache, etc. And, fluxbox is included too as well as pkgtool, and xwmconfig. The complete How-To I did is in the slax remix thread at above link, and also here [URL].
Hints:
After installing to hdd, usb-hdd, etc.
Grab slackpkg and the gnupg stuff and install any other pkgs.
Be careful about upgrading...
I added kdeadmin pkg from slax module and some other stuff so my install is at 944MB now
and look at output of "free" in screenshot.
I decided to finally give it a try last night and made a Live USB for Slax. It booted up quickly, pretty much everything worked right away, and after getting the Wifi working I decided to call it a night.
My project for today was attempting to install Java, but I haven't had much success. There are modules on the Slax site for this, but a. they are unverified and b. I want to delve into linux further than just downloading everything off a website. I downloaded the latest Java package for linux, which was a self-extracting .bin. I followed steps 1 through 4 here, but step 5 didn't work. I got the error message

I then tried using the rpm -UvH command on the rpm file, but got the same error. Knowing that Slax modules are .lzm files, I used rpm2tgz and tgz2lzm to convert it to a module, but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction, other than "Download this unverified module from the Slax site."
In addition, a problem I haven't encountered yet but is foreseeable: In those instructions that I linked above for downloading and installing Java, the "Enable and Configure" section requires altering parts of the Firefox install directory. However, since this is Slax, Firefox is in a module. To do that part, do I have to use lzm2dir in order to get into Firefox's innerworkings, or what?
I have a windows 98 box.I have a slax ISO and a slax TAR. My slax TAR has all the modules I want.
My windows 98 hard drive has only 1 partition and is fully formatted.I have used windows 98 to download my TAR.I want to dual boot slax and windows 98.How do I go about this? So do I have to repartition?
I want to know exactly how to connect to the internet in slax-6.1.2 VMware Workstation program being through what it is asking how to do it on the website, I can find on Google.

For years I have used a Slax live CD on a laptop to clone internal HDDs to USB HDDs. I recently purchased a Sony VPCF136FM laptop with Intel Core i7 CPU. It apparently has USB 3.0 ports. The problem is the USB ports are dead with Slax. There is a USB devise driver available for Windows 7 from Sony but nothing for Linux operating systems. Can this driver be ported to Linux? It is an exacutable (XXX.exe). The chip for the USB Host is from Renesas Electronics (no help there, either). Where can I find a device driver to use with Slax and how would I install it?

Before the other day, I'd copied a live CD to ramdisk and run it from there before, but the disk was INX (INX is not X), a live CD based on Ubuntu that runs entirely in the text mode, no GUI. INX is a terrific product: colorful, educational, light, agile, fun to use, and and often damned useful, but when an OS only uses text, you may not notice how much running from the RAM speeds up an OS. Previously, I'd assumed that the best reason to run a Live CD from the RAM was to free up the CD ROM drive. When I started running a full KDE 3.5.10 Desktop from the RAM, it didn't take me long to notice the awesome boost in speed and performance.
The computer has the fastest access to the data that's in the RAM. (The "A" in "RAM" stands for "access", right?) So the machine is faster. As the RAM gets larger, I'm sure more and more live CDs are going to offer the RAMdisk option. Right now both INX and SLAX share the characteristic of being exceptionally small CDs, and that makes them well suited for this kind of application. The "minimal" version of Slax, the basic CD without any modules added, is less than 200 mbs, which fits very nicely on my 1024MB RAM. I now use the minimal SLAX cd to initiate the system, and I keep a collection of the modules on my hard drive to copy to the RAM and activate at will.
Here's a couple of screenshots: [URL] I'm using Wine here to run my one and only favorite Windows program, a text to speech program called READ PLEASE. Note that I am also running KTorrent, which is uploading from and downloading to my external MyBook hard drive. [URL]. Here's a shot of yakuake, which is sort of like Konsole with superpowers. I just upgraded my hard drive KDE system to 4.2.3, and they still haven't fixed Yakuake yet. I know it's been reported, so I'm sure it'll be taken care of.
I am trying to connect to the net wirelessly using Slax off my USB stick. I did the best I could using the wireless configure tool but Firefox will not surf - no connection. The configure tool shows that I am 'partly' connected in that it shows signal strength in green but I noticed that there is no entry for IP address. Am I suppose to know this and enter it? In LMDE, I see the IP as 192.168.2.10 and other addresses. Do I need to enter this stuff?

i have googled and i found a ubuntu forum where a guy had the same problem, his solution was disabling the php browser, so i try to do it and go to window>preferences>General>Web browser... as soon as i click "web browser" it just crashes with the same error above, so i guess the "browser" is the problem, i didn't find the "php browser" option so that's why i click on "web browser"
if anybody has a solution for this please help me, i would be awesome to solve this.
