I am looking for a kind of update-alternatives for Slackware to set default applications. Currently the reason is I want to use "display" as the picture viewer in Midnight Commander. Display is a part of ImageMagick. "MC" keeps looking for something called "GQVIEW", which is not installed, and is now known as "Geeqie". I removed the Geeqie pkg to see if it would help MC use Display. I also added a line in .bashrc like "VIEWER=/usr/bin/display" to see if it would force the issue.

1) Which KDE apps would you miss?
2) Which alternatives for these apps would you suggest?
Proposing GNOME apps instead is considered bad practice, as there is no sign of GNOME being re-included in Slackware in a foreseeable future.

After reading quite a lot about this distro, I have come to know that Slackware doesn't provide tools for managing dependencies. So how do I take care of dependencies?
If there's already a thread regarding this, please redirect me to that particular thread.
Is it possible to run a web browser in a highly restricted chroot environment? If so, what is the best way to do it?

I installed the proprietary fglrx drivers, and they didn't really do anything other than break half my software or make it slower. Now the first time I installed the .run binary by just doing 'sh ati-driver-installer-10-3-x86.x86_64'. Then, after Google'ing on how to remove it, I just did 'rmmod fglrx' outside of X and deleted all the kernel modules manually. And that seemed to fix a few things, but not all.
Then I found another thread saying just turn the .run into a pkg, do installpkg, and removepkg, and I did that as well. It fixed most of the problems and seems to have deleted all traces of the fglrx ATI driver.Now, though, anytime I try to run anything 3D, like glxgears, instead of just giving me a segmentation fault, it says:
Code:
glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libatiuki.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I've Google'd but nothing related came up, Also I can post my xorg.conf file but I don't think that is the cause of this, because I ran 'xorgsetup' and messed around with it some, and it was doing this even before I ran 'xorgsetup' and after I ran it / modified it.
I am not trying to start a flame war. Let me say that I like Slackware and it is my main distro. However as someone who wants to try new things in Linux, I was wondering if there is a similar distro like Slackware? Something that uses applications without modification, simple bsd style, and same philosophy? I could think of Crux linux, but its installer is not my style. Any other preference?

RME Hammerfall seems to be brilliant, but exceeds my budget. MAudio 2496 seems to be excellent in quality, but a bit limited in connectivity. ESI Juli@ appears to be even better, but the parts exposed to the outside of the computer case don't seem to be overly robust..And that seem already to be all PCI devices supported by ALSA for my purpose! (MAudio Audiophile 192, e. g., is reported not to work that well).
Now I thought, I could avoid all this hassle by choosing a USB device. However, situation seems to be even worse. Terratec DMX 6Fire USB is not supported, at all, MAudio Fast Track Pro is limited to USB 1.1 and 48kHz (I want 96 kHz, at least!) only and requires a patch for 24 Bits. And so on...
I have a very strange problem with Phonon. I am running slackware-current with KDE-4.3.4 on an old PC with CS46xx sound chip. The Phonon backend is Xine. The system is newly installed.
Applications which use the Phonon layer are silent or muted. I am not able to hear anything. Affected is for example Amarok, Dragon Player, Minitube or the Kde Notification system (when playing sounds). What makes the situation strange is the fact, that everything looks pretty fine:
Alsa works excellent and is configured correctly.
KMixer affects the alsa system settings as expected.
Mplayer works, Xine works, mpg321 works.
Inside Kde's system settings -> Multimedia, the Test button works and i can hear the Kde start up melody.
Inside Kde's system settings -> Notifications, the play button for sound events works and plays the given sounds.
The problem appears with a newly created user account, too.
What i also tried was to compile [url]. The output looks ok to me, too. No errors and ogg and mp3 support is available.
Last but not least i tried the Python coding tutorial at [url]. The fact, that this works, unsettles me totally.
I have a problem with the radeon driver and running 3d applications (namely glxgears and google-earth). Basically the 3d application is competing to stay on top of other windows. The problem is present with all windows and balloon pop ups such as those that pop up when I click on icons in google earth; The globe will just try to get on top again and I won't be able to see what I clicked on (like the panoramio pictures).
I have had this problem with kernels huge-smp of slackware13.1, custom on 2.6.33.4 kernel, and custom 26.35.4 and 2.6.35.7 kernels. My kernel config stuff (related to radeon) are:

and Slackware is installed on 16gb partition with 10 gb free now.When i installed it was fine over a few days slackware is giving me high response time. while playing videos it is getting stuck firefox is giving bad responses and even konqueror.I heard that slackware is one of the fastest linux and is old hardware friendly right
A big catastroph in my computer,I'm running slackware current Yesterday after finding a security update for thunderbird 3.1.4 in my mail, as I've suscribed to receive newsletter.So I run the slackpkg update and then a slackpkg upgrade-all. During this process I had a message asking me what to do with duplicated libraries of old versions for :
firefox
thunderbird
seamonkey
R Remove
S Skip
B Blacklist
So I decided to remove old versions. Since that all shortcuts for these applications have disapeared from my desktop. the commands for these programms don't work. And the menus have gone from the kickoff application launcher.
I did a clean installation of KDE 4.4 Alien bob`s packages and when I open the dolphin, for example, appears this error:
The icons and directories are all on blank...
I've tried some more recent builds of Libre Office from Alien Bob and I'm still getting crashes when I try to dock the Navigator panel on the left side of the window for any of the office applications.
Details are in this post. More specifically, I'm running libreoffice-3.2.99.3-i486 from Eric. When I run 'oowriter' (Libreoffice Writer) from the command line, and then try to dock the navigator panel, I get this message after the crash:
Code:
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to
retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-size' of type
`GtkRequisition' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to
retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-spacing' of type
`GtkBorder' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
I don't know if it happens with the 64-bit version or not. I haven't tried it yet. I'm no stranger to submitting bug reports, but I haven't looked closely at Libreoffice's bug submitting procedures. I'll do that soon.
I haven't used Ubuntu for a while, and just reinstalled it. I have one major dislike about the new version, There are several applications I click on and it takes me to the installer.How do I remove those types of applications or just install them all?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm setting up a large number of virtual machines, each with a basic set of about 30 applications. Obviously, I don't want to do everything manually so I'm looking for ways to automate this process. Multiple distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat Ent., FreeBSD, CentOS, etc.) will be used, meaning I will have a few Ubuntu installs with the basic set of 30 applications, and multiple Red Hat installs with the same set, etc. So, I'm looking for advice on automating as much of this as I can, even if it means a new form of automation for each distro.
