The blueman applet is killing my processor from time to time. The crazy part is that I do not have blue tooth installed in this system. It appears to be a bug upstream and looks like it has been reported but in the mean time is there a way to disable blueman?

I have installed Blueman. But I want to disable it on KDE startup so that whenever I turn on my Bluetooth, blueman shouldn't take over the KDE's Bluedevil.

But when I start blueman-applet the icon on the toolbar is like white with a red 'x' in the centre of it, which doesn't seem right. I'm using fluxbox as my WM so don't know if that's the reason, but blueman isn't responding when I try to setup the device with gui (blueman-applet). My groups for my user are.

I'm running slackware current. Blueman works perfectly, except for DUN. I can connect to DUN service, but I don't know to open the connection. I've tried to find help on the blueman website, and I've I've found this page [URL].
Where says to install plugins to use DUN. Before I screw up my blueman configuration .. those plugin are already included in the blueman package? I can't find where to download them. If they are already included, what I've to do to use DUN?

I have a problem with BT again, I installed blueman from SlackBuild at [URL], but when I start it (from Setting > Bluetooth Manager), it was running with a minimized window at the taskbar for a while and not appear any window or icon on the system tray.
I track its process, there's still it running background

I'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.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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:

How you disable it? it makes no sense you have to type all those non capital and capital letters just to access a directory correctly.
in windows you just type the name and it detects whatever you type capital or not...

I 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 RelatedI'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.
I'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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDuring 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?
I 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.
I'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.
