Slackware :: Best Way To Install More Software Sets After Installation?
Jan 8, 2010
When I installed Slackware, I deselected a few software sets like KDE and TCL, but now I would like to install KDE (btw, what is TCL for? Is it something important that I should have installed, or is it something like "if you don't know, you don't need it"?). What would be the best way to install the KDE software set and even have a menu to deselect a few packages I know I won't use?produces a list of kde packages (including the kde language packages), but I don't know if that's everything in the kde set. It seems like it's not, since it's transcending the software set boundaries to provide options for the internationalization packages, too.

I need one help in Fedora 10. I've tried searching all over google and I've not found anything relevant to my problem. I installed Fedora 10 choosing only the basic set of packges. i.e. I uncheck 'Office and Prod' and 'Software Dev' during installation. I wanted to install the base packages and then wanted to install what I need later on. Now that everything is stable and working fine, I want to install the software dev and office package but I dont know how to do this. I am not finding any option to install packages from the DVD or such. Is there any config script that will install all the packages from those two sets. I dont want to install package one by one.

I have recently installed Slackware 13 (64bit) (Kernel 2.6.29.6) on an Acer Veriton M series with AMD Athlon cpu. I have started ntpd server and from it's log file it seems to be synchronising to each of the three stratum 2 servers specified in the ntp.conf file.

During Slackware 13.1 setup, I chose the hostname stella-sl2. This hostname is also the one that the system is displaying before I configured network access. After configuring wired network access to my Apple Time Capsule, my hostname suddenly changed to INTERFACE='eth0'. As a result I'm noticing some very strange things, like the login prompt which has become "INTERFACE='eth0' login: ".
After configuring wireless network access to the Time Capsule, the hostname changed to "INTERFACE='wlan0'". Note that, during boot, wlan0 is brought up AFTER eth0.
Also strange is this:
bash-4.1$ cat /etc/HOSTNAME
INTERFACE='eth0'.DNSSERVERS='10.0.1.1'
bash-4.1$ /bin/hostname
INTERFACE='wlan0'
bash-4.1$
Until now, it was only a minor annoyance, it didn't prevent anything from happening, internet connection was not affected. But now I'm configuring sendmail which needs to talk to a relay SMTP server, and sendmail "HELO"'s itself using the bogus hostname:
>>> HELO INTERFACE='wlan0'
<<< 501 HELO requires valid address
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
Probably this is caused by the Time Capsule not adhering to standards. However, the Time Capsule's firmware is the latest version, so I cannot fix this. Is there a way to prevent dhcp from changing the hostname? How can I make sure that the hostname that I configured during setup remains active?

I have 4 drives. Two identical pairs. Each pair does something different and serves a different purpose to my system. Can I set up two RAID 1 arrays?
500gb/500gb = Raid 1
250gb/250gb = Raid 1
Can I do this with Ubuntu's software raid?

I don't start a network connection when my machine boots FC11 64 bit. When I start the connection and the Firefox browser, I always find that Firefox has set itself to work offline. I use File->work offline and uncheck that box. This fixes the problem, but only till the next reboot. Even if I exit Firefox "in an orderly manner", the next time it will have set itself to work offline.
I had this problem in previous Fedora versions. I read about two solutions on the web. One was to write a script that removed a file called extensions.cache before Firefox ran. The other was to type about:config in the address bar of Firefox, acknowledge the warning message, and use the right mouse button to togglethe value ofoolkit.networkmanager.disable from "false" to "true".Are either of these good solutions? What exactly does "network manager" do? I think of it as the gui under System->Administration->Network, but it must be more.

I have slackware on my laptop but it's pretty buggy lately, and last night it really pissed me off freezing and loosing the volume icon.So I decided to install Xubuntu over it.(Most probably it'll be Xubuntu, 11.04 or maybe Aptosid with XFCE )But - I'd like to try not to format the home partition. Now it's separated. (The partitions now are /boot, swap, / and /home.) So, I plan to:
1. Boot from the USB;
2. Delete all the hidden files and folders from the the /home. So anything that the Slackware has put and/or set - to be cleared.
3. Directly install, keeping the current partitions, but without formatting the home.
The only thing that I think of that could make some problems is that when I booted Xubuntu 10.10 on my working machine - it couldn't mount any of the hard drives? So if this happens on my laptop too.I won't manage to delete all the hidden stuff on the home.

Two part question:
1. what tools are recommended for designing web pages?
2. What tool sets are recommended for maintaining them?
I suspect that the first question really addresses the second rather than the literal question because of the source of the request. Here's the environment. A small church wants to post and maintain a website. Various non-tech persons will be responsible for maintaining much of
the content of the site. This tells me that they want/need a site that contains the necessary content maintenance tools within the site itself, not a tool on the individual desktops with the only real need for the design/dev tools being for initial construction of the site and a GOOD book on site design to guide construction of the site in the first place.

When I reboot my computer, my iptables sets itself to a policy of dropping everything, adds a bunch of rules, and a bunch of extra chains, to the effect that (due to everything being set to drop) I can't do anything. I know how to fix this from the terminal to the extent of just clearing most of it and changing the policies back. However, what I don't know is how to make it stay that way. I have a file with the iptables rules I want, so every time I start up I just run iptables-restore, but I don't want to have to do this every time, particularly since others use this computer who do not have admin privileges.
I've tried changing /etc/network/interfaces with the added code pre-up iptables-restore < (etc) But that never does anything, or if it does it just makes stuff work even less. I've tried changing init.d before based on similar info elsewhere, still no luck. I don't know how to get it to stick, and I don't know why it is defaulting to the rules it is, other than that I used a firewall app a while ago and afterwards this was the result, for which I uninstalled that app after no success using it to reverse the damage.

I have a large collection of pictures (12GB and growing) - way too big to fit on one CD or DVD.I want to back them up to CDs or DVD's in standard (I think it's iso 9660) format that Windows can read.I know how to do this the hard way - by manually selecting a pile of pictures that will fit on one disc, burning it and then going on to the next pile.There must be a way to tell k3b or a similar program to do this for me - to automatically make a backup of the whole thing using as many discs as necessary.Can anyone tell me how to do this?
I don't want to use tar or another archive/compression scheme because I want the pictures accessible to someone with minimal technical expertise who doesn't even know how to spell "Linux".

I've been trying to install module em28xx in a Slackware 12.0 installation that has been operating for several years. This is the em28xx that is part of the Slackware 12.0 distribution itself (kernel 2.6.21.5).
Unfortunately, although em28xx is fine, modprobe has a problem with dependent module i2c-core, which is generating an "Invalid module format" message. The system is using the generic Slackware 12.0 kernel, not the huge kernel.

Have you noticed the space "background set" that is in Ubuntu from the 9.04?It is an xml file (as I discovered on this beautiful forum ).But creating it manually is very boring and long, it would be simpler to put wallpapers into a directory and use them all as background set. So I've created a simple script that generate the xml background file with the images in a directory. You can set the timetion of wallpapers and of transitions setting the proper parameters.
here's the link to the script:generateXMLBackground.shHow to use it?Create a directory and put into it all images you want to be in the background setOpen a terminal [Applications->Accessories->Terminal]Type "cd " and drag into the terminal the directory previously created and press enterDrag into the terminalhe script generateXMLBackground.sh and press enter [you can use parameters -t -d. For help use the parameter -h]The xml file has been created!!Now you only have to set it as background:in the "Change desktop background" window click "Add", navigate to the directory created at the beginning, set the type filtre to "All files" (at right bottom, normally it is 'Images') and choose the .xml file named #DIRNAME#Background.xml.Note:not run the script generateXMLBackground.sh you have not rights type into the terminal "chmod +x " drag the script and press enter (to make it executable).

Faced with disk-bound issues on a FTP server with high traffic. Would like to set up multiple FTP server nodes with dedicated storage for each node where all FTP access is managed by a master FTP server. So, a user would FTP to a single externally visible IP address for the master FTP server and then get routed to the appropriate FTP node. Are the mutiple FTP nodes required or is there a better way of doing this? Perhaps only one FTP server is required and then each node would serve as a separate file server

Basically, About 50% of the time, the system boots and sets the console resolution to something strange, and the console renders in a small box in the top-left hand corner of my screen. This causes problems not only with the display of the console, but with the display of X as well.
I have an Intel GL40 chipset on this laptop, with an integrated GMA4500 GPU. I am using the latest stable Intel video drivers (2.10.0-1), and have tried using the git drivers. In addition, the problem has been occuring since December, when I install Arch linux on this machine, I have just now had the time to address it. So basically, the issue has persisted with all driver versions since mid-December to the latest releases.
In addition, I have tried using several kernels, including:
But the problem persists with each.
I wish I could give you relevant diagnostic information for this issue, but if I had any idea where to start...
I will gladly post any information necessary. I was going to post a copy of everything.log for a successful and unsuccesful boot, but unfortunately they put me over the posing limit by about 100,000 characters each.
I guess, on second thought, that my Intel video driver really wouldn't have anything to do with my console, now would they?

I recently installed Slackware Linux 13.1 , and my Wireless is down. I've only installed 3 Linux disto's on my main laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 , 10.04 , and Crunchbang Linux 9.04 , just had Crunchbang), and they all had the same problem. In all three , I was able to enable Windows Wireless drivers and every thing worked. Now , I'm assuming I have to the same ting in Slackware? Sorry , but I have no idea what my wireless card is. But I know that my laptop is a Dell Insprion E1705. One last thing , I did ifconfig and that wlan0 is my Wi-Fi interface. I typed ifconfig wlan0 up to see if that was the problem. After I did that , I got and error message. Then I typed ifconfig wlan0 down to see if it was down and it made wlan0 down. I tried bringing it up again , but I got an error saying it couldn't find the device specified. Also , how do I install XFCE? I really don't like KDE for some reason and would like to install XFCE. I chose XFCE over GNOME (my favorite) because I want to try something new.

I'm trying to install Puppy 525 on my Slackware 13.37 PC as a dual-boot using LILO. Puppy is living, all on it's own, in sda6, a 6 GiB partition. It got there by using the Puppy Universal Installer and selecting a 'Full' install, not a 'Frugal' install. I cannot find 'LILO' type instructions, only 'GRUB' type instructions.
Has anyone succeeded in doing a hard drive install of Puppy with the LILO boot loader?
Edit: I'll probably regret it, but I used Puppy's GRUB installer.
