Aug 5, 2010If I set the clock to speak the time, I get this when it tries: starting kttsd failed. I've looked at the various posts, but haven't yet found an actual solution. I've tried to run kttsmgr, but for some reason the "run" dialog doesn't seem to do anything - no error, nothing. Type kttsmgr, press enter since there is not obvious other way to execute the command, and nothing happens.
Is this a module that does not come with KDE? And I give - I can't find time format anywhere. How do you change the clock that appears in the lower right corner to 12 hour instead of what appears to be default 24 hour? I don't see it in "Digital Clock Settings", and I don't see it in System Settings - Date & Time. This is a clean install of slackware 13.1, and whatever version of KDE comes with it.

May 7, 2010I'm trying to install ATLAS which requires disabling cpu throttling. Normally one can do it in the BIOS, while there isn't such an option of my dell inspiron 6400. Actually there is a SpeedStep option in the BIOS, however, you cannot get the highest but the lowest performance by disabling it (dell!!!).
After googled a lot, I found in some distros, there is a /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector through which one can disable throttling. But it doesn't exists in slackware.
I known that by appending kernel option "acpi=off", one can disable the whole acpi and thus the throttling control in slackware, but it seems so dirty.
Anyone known a better way to do it?
ps: With a intel T2050 cpu, i didn't find the directory /sys/devices/system/cpu1, but only the /sys/devices/system/cpu0. Similar case in /etc/acpi. it seems that slackware treats my cpu as a single core one, while it is not.

May 2, 2010I've always run as root on Slackware, but having done away with Ubuntu for now, all of my machines including the family desktop are running Slackware. There have been several ups and downs and the last one that I know of (for now) is the HP Device Manager. It doesn't run as root so I've never noticed that it drastically slows down printing via a shared printer. Disabled the system just sends it's requests to the samba/cups server and starts printing instantly. The HP Device Manager seems to go through an intialization step each time that takes several seconds before I can even hit the "print" button.

Aug 6, 2010I have Aspire one 752 netbook with slack 13.1 installed. I installed laptop-mode-tools from slackbuilds to control power management and etc. I'd like to make sure that sda drive in netbook never spins off when not running on batteries. For now it seems to spin down after every half a minute and is producing clicking sounds. I issued 'hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda' which seemed to work - no clicks any more, and no spinning-up sounds. What is the right way to make this change to be applied whenever netbook is on AC power?Edit: Also, how to make this 'hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda' survive hibernate, as it reverts to '96' after being resumed:
# hdparm -B /dev/sda/dev/sda: APM_level = 96Edit2: Ok, i changed hdparm -B values from 254 to 255 in laptop-mode.conf, since values of 254 and any other i tried(1, 96, 128) gave ioctl errors and were not applied to drive.
Code:
# hdparm -B 96 /dev/sda

Slackware :: Disable And Enable Ipv6 Connectivity?
May 7, 2011I just finished setting up my slack machine as a home server (printers & files) and I noticed that I have an IPv6 address (from ifconfig)... I didn't know I did. I used to work in tech support and when a windows or OSx machine didn't connect properly on a LAN, disabling IPV6 was a common troubleshooting step. Is there a way to easily turn inet6 connectivity off/on in Slackware? (I want to keep the ability to get an IPv6, we will all use those in the future)

View 10 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Disable Or Configure Udev For Initrd?
Nov 8, 2010I've recently updated my Slackware 13.1 system to the Slackware current. Although I have created my "initrd" image without specifying the "-u" option to "mkinitrd" it still starts up "udev".
That is causing me some difficulty because I am using "dmraid" to detect my RAID arrays. I had created my own device names such as "/dev/sdr2" for my root partition. With 13.1 I had no problem, since "udev" was not started by the "initrd" unless the "-u" option was provided. The current version seems to start up "udev" even without that option.
Is there a way to disable "udev" in the "initrd", or is there a way to specify custom "udev" rules for an "initrd"? I tried placing a "10-local.rules" file in the "etc/udev/rules.d" directory of the "initrd-tree" but that file had no effect on the device names generated by "udev" during the "initrd".
Here is my script that creates the "initrd".
Code:
ROOTDEVNAME="/dev/sdr2"# Name of root device
LINUXVER="2.6.35.7-smp"# Linux modules version
CLIBVER="2.12.1"# C library version
ROOTDIR="/boot/initrd-tree"# Location of root filesystm
[code]....
It will be helpful for me to understand "udev" issues related to an "initrd" because I will eventually try to use "mdadm" instead of "dmraid". So far I have only been able to get my system to boot from the RAID array using "dmraid" and I often run into new problems when I update Linux. Still, Slackware has proven to have the best support for booting from my RAID array because of the user community, documentation and flexibility.
Slackware :: Quicker Way To Start Or Disable Service
Mar 23, 2011I've been practicing C programming the past month and had the idea to do this. I don't know if there's already something similar, or if anyone would find this program useful.Slervice simply calls Pat's scripts and the chmod command. I believe it's self explanatory. It can be compiled with cc slervice.c -o slervice.

Apr 20, 2010During installation I set eth0 to use dhcp to get an IP address. I then installed gnome and networkmanger which handles my interfaces and works fine. But during bootup the system pauses for 5 seconds or so while it polls for dhcp. It then times out and gives me a 169.254.xx which is then replaced when networkmanager starts up at the end of bootup.
How do I stop the polling to cut out the 5 seconds?
Slackware :: Dual Screen - Disable The Second Monitor When X Is Not Running?
Sep 11, 2010I would like to use my second monitor with my Slackware (Laptop) setup but they are different sizes/resolutions.
This is no problem with KDE but before X is started and when X ends there are big issues with the TTY0 console being distorted.
Is it possible to disable the second monitor when X is not running?
(Slackware64Current, ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 card)
I essentially want the second monitor to activate ONLY in the event of an X Session and turn off when X halts.
Slackware :: Enable NumLock And Then Disable The Button Completely
Jan 8, 2010I've got 5 users who share a bunch of virtual Windows XP guests via VRDP (VirtualBox RDP access), and I'm having some problems with managing their NumLock state. They all use rdesktop to access the Windows XP machines. This works very well, as long as all of them have NumLock enabled. If one of them disables it by mistake, and then logs into one of the Windows XP machines, NumLock is disabled and some of the programs they use start to act really weird. This is causing us some grief.
So I'd like to be able to enable NumLock on all the computers (they are all running Slackware 12.2) before X, while X runs and while KDE is running. And when NumLock is enabled for the entire system, thenI'd like to remove the ability to disable NumLock altogether. NumLock should always be enabled for these users, no matter what. It would be really nice if Linux/X/KDE/whatever just honored the BIOS setting, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Oh, and I'd really like if the NumLock LED was ON, so everybody are made aware of the fact that they have NumLock turned on.
ps. I've tried remapping the keys on the numeric pad with xmodmap, but that doesn't solve the problem. The actual NumLock state must be set to avoid problems with the troubled Windows programs.

Jan 23, 2010I try to install Slackware to my IDE hard drive and boot first from Slackware DVD. After I loaded huge.s kernel, and tried to partition the hard drive using fdisk by entering "fdisk /dev/hda", I found out that the partition size is max to 3 Gigs instead of 80 Gigs.
I think the kernel is looking at my boot disk, which is around 3 Gigs. How can I make so that it looks at my IDE drive instead at my boot drive? Is there any manual that shows me how to install Linux from scratch this means I want to wipe out all my hard disk and install Slackware Linux there?

General :: Disable X From Loading ?
Nov 25, 2010As a Security practice I wanted to disable X from loading.
So i modified following line from /etc/inittab.
I was then able to start my machine in terminal mode(runlevel 3).
I wasn't satisfied at this stage as i was able to get the graphical console by merely typing
Code:
So i search and find out that the reason for loading the graphical user interface was a script resided in
Code:
So i renamed it thinking OS will fail in finding it when invoked by inittab file . To my surprise i was able to get the terminal back even if i hit
But then i realize i keep on getting following error lines.
Code:
I found out the reason behind this was a line in /etc/inittab
Code:
Since the file prefdm was renamed and respawned the OS was keep on trying to execute it considering it is terminated.
Now i have made the above line commented and removed execute bit of the file. System is now behaving as i wish it would.
Will it make any difference? I m not using any application that explicitly use graphical user interface and i can work in runlevel 3.
