General :: Installing AdobeReader In Slackware64?
Dec 10, 2010
I've just recently installed Slackware64 release 13.1 in my HP6910p laptop for the first time. I've built several desktops and a few laptops using Fedora & UBUNTU. But, I really wanted to get to know the Slackware. I was told that if you really want to learn LINUX, Slackware is the way.
Anyway, I realize Slackware provides a PDF reader, but I wanted to learn how to install AdobeReader, which only runs in 32bit, to my Slackware64 platform. In that way, I would learn about dependancies, etc...

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. Wanted to install an older version of AdobeReader and found it as a tar.gz file.Unzipped it and instructions said to run the "Install" script which I did with the follow commands:
# chmod 700 ./Install
# ./Install
It setup a /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat 7.0 file but I don't see anything in the /bin/ directory. What did I do wrong here?

we are using firefox-3.0.15 from the CentOS-Repository and the adobereader plugin from the adobe-repository. We have a curious problem with adobereader-plugin in firefox.When a pdf document is displayed via the plugin, i.e. within a tab in firefox, all input fields are disabled. I cannot enter a search string or fill in fields. The cursor and page up/down keys are also disabled. But when I configure firefox to open pdf documents with the external acroreader, everything works fine.
Additional notes:* We are just migrating from SuSE. Some user profiles are working as expected without problems. Unfortunately, I was not able to figure out the important files: I traced all of firefox' file operations on the user profiles, but there are no significant differences between working and non-working profiles (I just compared filenames, not content).* the same adobe-plugin works with firefox 3.0.15 from mozilla.org* I also set up a clean i386-Centos 5.4 from original CD, SELinux disabled, updated and created standard user. I only added the adobe-repository. The same effect, no search avaible.

I have a need to recompile mesa. The --enable-32-bit option falls over every header and basic 32 bit lib, and won't compile. But if I try to install 32 bit packages, I could slap a 32 bit binary straight on top of my 64 bit one. What's the accepted way of doing this? I can't seem to find a package in Slackware 13.0

I just installed mythtv 0.23.1 on my slack64 13.1 machine using a Hauppauge DVR-2250 TV tuner card. The install went fine (no errors) but I am facing a few glitches. I setup the program using mythtv-setup.
I added the tv tuner in the program's tuner list and scanned the channels using the scan feature. It found something like 38 channels (OTA). So far so good. When I start the application I go to watch TV and I see a white/black screen with a big "1" saying :Playback starting" and then it goes back to the application's menu. here's the output of mythbackend while I was playing around witht he front end
Code:

at home I use a computer running OpenSuse 10.2 to serve as an NFS server. I can mount the relevant nfs shares from my laptop running Slackware64 13.1, but there is an issue related to suspending the laptop to RAM: If the laptop is suspended to RAM (or disk) while it is connected to the network everything works fine. But if the network connection is cut before the suspend, it seems that the suspend scripts from slackware or the kernel or whatever blocks the whole system, so that suspend "never" happens. (Ok, it will actually work, but only after several minutes, resume will work fine anyway).
Is there a way to "normally" suspend the laptop to RAM even with active NFS mounts and a cut network connection?

Is it just me or does the font rendering in Slackware64 13.37 look bad? It reminds me of the bad old days of having to recompile freetype with the then-patent-encumbered option to make the fonts look decent. When I print, everything looks normal. On screen it doesn't look right. I don't really know how to describe it other than it how things used to change after a freetype recompile. Is there anything major that changed between 13.1 and 13.37 WRT fonts in KDE, X, or freetype for that matter? FWIW, I did a clean install with a new .kde instead of using the old one.

I've tried reinstalling Slackware64 13.1 to my PC a number of times over the past couple of days and I still have not been able to get it to boot.
Once it's installed I reboot and it tells me it can't find the operating system.
I've tried fdisk, cfdisk and GParted to set up the disk by deleting partitions and recreating them.
When I install and get to the section about installing LILO it says I have an OS/2 or Partition Magic boot manager on the drive, but there isn't. It asks if I want to install LILO in a compatible way with the boot manager and I say no, and install to the MBR. When I reboot it says it can't find the OS.
When I try to boot from the install DVD and get to the boot: prompt, I'll enter /dev/sda1 and it says there is no kernel.
Is there something else I'm missing?

Regarding the latest update to -current, I decided to test installing it on a laptop from a usb stick (as I've done may times before). However this time the usb stick fails to boot as usual, hanging with the message "Could not find kernel image: linux". This isn't a problem with the usb stick, since if you mount the usbboot.img file as a loop device there is only 1 file on there, "ldlinux.sys", where you would usually find huge.s, initrd.img etc.
Have tried the 64-bit usbboot.img file from a couple of different mirrors and the result is the same. Have also looked in the usbboot.img from the 32-bit -current... this shows the usual set of files so looks to be OK.

I'm trying to compile tolua++ so that i can use lua in conky 1.7.2, however I am running into a problem. tolua++ defaults to looking for lua 5.0 libraries and I have lua 5.1 installed since that is what conky requires. According to the README tolua++ can use lua-5.1 but I not sure how to configure tulua++ to use those libraries since it uses scons. Here is a what the README says...
Compiling for lua 5.1
Starting from version 1.0.8pre1, tolua++ can be compiled with both lua 5.0 and
5.1. Both versions will output the same code, and the C API (tolua++.h) is the
same.
The build system is not yet ready to detect/decide when to compile for 5.1,
the easiest way right now is to add a file called 'custom.py' on the root of
the package, with the following:
## BEGIN custom.py
CCFLAGS = ['-I/usr/local/include/lua5.1', '-O2', '-ansi']
LIBPATH = ['/usr/local/lib']
LIBS = ['lua5.1', 'dl', 'm']
tolua_bin = 'tolua++5.1'

I tried to recompile php with support for oracle extensions oci8.so. Got the source and slackbuild script from slackware repo and just add the following line to the slackbuild script. "--with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/opt/instantclient_11_2". I use instant client from oracle Version 11.2.0.2.0 from this page
After I run the script I got this error message

I'm going to install Slackware 13.1 soon and I may also install the 32-bit compatibility libraries from Eric (Alien BoB).I'd like confirmation on the process of updating multilib Slackware when there's a security patch. I'm talking about running the -stable branch, by the way.Under the normal methods of updating (e.g. 'slackpkg upgrade-all' or using the script I developed to download a local mirror of the patches directory and install from there, or even doing it by hand), the regular 64-bit packages will get updated.However, the 32-bit compatibility versions of those files won't get updated. Right?So I'll need to download the new 32-bit patches, run the convertpkg-compat32 script on them, and then upgradepkg the new files.

I will keep Win7 for clients as this will be another laptop for that usage plus wanting to have a decent laptop for the rec room to do that style of work. Cheap way to service M$ clients without buying more personal license(s). So far no big deal with M$ Win7 but I need to have that pathway available to me.
My reason to buy this notebook rather then a netbook should be obvious, big enough for me to do what is necessary. I've got test beds to do the real work, netbooks just won't meet the needs as describe above. I purchased a Netbook for my wife. That one will be used while she's away to aid with the new Grandchild, a lot easier to carry than her old HP Laptop. If the Netbook is lost then no worry since it's cheaper than her HP.

I am running Slackware64-13.1 on my laptop. I need to install skype on it. Searching this forum suggests that I install Alien Bob's multilib [URL] However, skype is the only 32-bit package I need and I will not need to compile any 32-bit software. So what is the minimal multilib install (the minimal set of 32-bit libraries) that make it possible for the 32-bit Skype to run on a 64-bit system? Will running
Code:
ldd /usr/bin/skype
on my 32-bit desktop machine provide me that minimal list of 32-bit packages? Also, will the installation of these libraries somehow interefere with the original 64-bit system?

I've got an older HP Pavilion dv8000 laptop with ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 video. This worked fine out-of-the-box with 13.1. With 13.37 I can't get KDE desktop effects to work, glxgears reports about 50 fps, and the system can suspend but not resume. I have no xorg.conf at all. Here is the glxinfo and current Xorg log. Just to note, this is with Slackware64 13.37 with the multilib stuff installed.

I have Slackware64 13.1 with multilib enabled. I downloaded the Citrix Client Receiver 11 from [URL] (it is available for 32 bit architectures only). I followed the installation instructions and all went fine. I even installed openmotif from slackbuilds.org repository as a dependency. When i tried to do:
Code:
bash-4.1$ ldd /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)

I've just synchronized my slackware64-current mirror, iso burned, booting, starting cfdisk, creating a partition, and I'm not able to set the partition type to `Linux Raid Autodetect` (FD) or any other, that needs 2 characters to be entered in cfdisk -> Type.Cfdisk alows only one character to be entered ("F" or any other).

There is this slackbuild in which I have changed the part in bold.
Code:

# VTK (Visualization Toolkit)
#
# The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source, freely available

This will still drop stuff into /usr/lib, which is clearly anti Slackware64... I do not know enough of cmake builds, which flag do I have to pass in the slackbuild for cmake to drop stuff in /usr/lib64...?

I am trying to get Kmymoney working with HBCI support on my Slackware64-13.37 system. My understanding is, that there are three dependencies for Kmymoney 4.5.3:
AqBanking 5.0.5
Gwenhyfwar 4.0.9
KMyMoney Plugin (kmm_kbanking) 1.0
I used to believe, that the plugin wasn't needed anymore in recent version of KMyMoney, but it seems, that I was wrong. With src2pkg I was able to compile AqBanking and Gwenhyfwar:
Code:
# src2pkg -e
'--with-openssl-includes=/usr/include
--with-openssl-libs=/usr/lib64
--with-qt4-includes=/usr/lib64/qt/include
--with-qt4-libs=/usr/lib64/qt/lib'
Then I used the SlackBuild script from SlackBuilds.org, modified the version to 4.5.3 and started it with ARCH=x86_64. Compilation ran through smooth, and I installed the package. However, HBCI support is disabled.
After some web research I came to the conclusion, that the KBanking module is still needed. So I grabbed it from the original source. Unfortunately I can't properly compile this one. Although I installed KDE3 and Qt3 compatibility packages from Slackware64-13.1 I get:
Code:
checking for Qt... configure:
error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0)
(headers and libraries) not found.
check your installation!
Has anyone managed to get through the whole process and to activate HBCI support in KMyMoney?

I've just installed a Slackware64-13.0 test machine with alienBOB's multilib packages. I'm running the stock kernel generic-2.6.29.6 with an initrd set up using mkinitrd.confEverything is fine except that I cannot build a right initrd for kernels 2.6.30, both the /testing one or a custom build: if I try, it will panic at boot with the "couldn't find a valid RAM disk image" error.On the same hardware, without multilib support, I was able to correctly build and boot 2.6.30 initrds.
