Recently i install slack ware 13.1 KDE into my laptop.Before that i used Ubuntu genome as my Os.
I am using my mobile broadband dongle to connect Internet.In the Ubuntu gnome, network manager applet appear and with that i can easily connect to Internet.
But in the slack ware KDE i couldnt find any way to connect my dongle.

Im using slack ware 10.2 for may mail server.
In fact I dont like number 13 and perhaps its the reason Ive been worried about changing slack 13 version! However, I downloaded an iso-dvd-13.1 from official website (http://www.slackware.com/getslack / torrents). It occurred a twice and I recorded it using k3b, CDBurnerXP and Poweriso. Then I changed speeds in a way of take off recording disfunctions or panics in the media ... Unfortunatelly I didnt get success to install the system so my 80G seagate sata hd is not recognized. Thereby I changed hds, cables, memory and nothing! I' m using an Asus A8V-mx motherboard (AMI BIOS, WfM 2.0, SM BIOS 2.3 and CHIPSET VIA K8M800 / VIA VT82510).In it sata hdd is on during boot loader, but after that dvd disk hugesmp.s 2.6.33-smp kernel break donw and I dont connect sata and neither go ahead a full install. I tryed :
fdisk /dev/sd*;
cfdisk (fatal error: can not open disk drive) and
# ls -l /dev/sd* returns
/bin/ls: can not access /dev/sd*. No such file or directory
I wish an easy fresh install. In this system if I use slack 12.2 version its ok.
I have just reinstalled slackware on my old p4 3.2 box clean install formatted hard drive no other packages installed.is there something seriously changed from slack 10 to slack 13.1 ?? or do i suffer from C.R.S ( cant remember s***)

I have a dual boot Linux system with Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and Slackware 12.1. I have a USB modem Huawei 1261 that I am using with Ubuntu with the usb_modeswitch package. I would like to get that working with Slackware 12.1. The usb_modeswitch seems to be working fine and also the "wvdial cdma" seems to working but Firefox can't connect to the internet.

Will do hard disk installation after learning more in virtualbox..But, I see now that I can't connect to the internet in the virtualbox... The host OS is Windows 7 and Virtualbox guest additions are installed and configured too.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI successfully installed the latest version of slackware, but much to my chagrin it does not auto-connect itself to the internet like my crunchbang does. I read a little from ch.5 of the slackware book, so I know what command to run, but I don't know what to do after running netconfig. I'm using crunchbang right now to get access to the forums, so I know my internet works with this computer. I tried to set up a DHCP connection, but that didn't do anything. So I have two questions:
1.) How do I tell if I have a Static-IP, DHCP, or Loopback connection?
2.) Can I use Crunchbang to get the information I will need, since it connects to the internet like a pro?
I recently moved out of state and don't have access to the net, however the neighbor of where I am staying is nice enough to let me leech off of her network till I get going. I know next to nothing about slackware and wireless networks since I have never had to mess with it. I have done my reading and have gotten this far.
1) wirelss card is installed and recognized, its a PCI b/g card that uses the ath5 module. The module is loaded and seems to be working.
2) I have heard wicd is easy so I installed it from /extra and it found my essid and accepted the wep password and it says connected at 45% and shows an IP.
however when I launch firefox or try to ping out nothing happens.
I am running Slackware -current. Every thing was working fine and suddenly it stopped. I am unable to connect to the router or the internet. Which is a problem since I'm using it right as a server.

I'm running Linux 2.6.39.3, and when I upgraded to 3.0 by Mr. Hamaleers page here:
[URL]
Everything worked fine. My computer was working too, but my internet wasn't. Since it works on the original kernel, I know that maybe it's something I was supposed to install as part of "make [variable]config" The network icon is there, but it doesn't connect automatically as 2.6.39.3 does if that helps as a part of the description.
I installed the new Slackware 13.1 64 on my laptop and I am trying to connect to the internet via a wireless network but i don't what is wrong with my configurations it just doesn't work.
I tried doing the following:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "ESSID"
iwconfig wlan0 key "Password"
iwconfig wlan0 channel NUMBER
Then i do dhcpcd -d but then no success after - i try to ping some sites, no reply, i put new dns servers in resolv.conf, still no results, i tried to ping some ips and it says network unreachable, it just doesn't work at all.
I did iwlist wlan0 scanning and it found all the wireless networks, so the adapter is not the problem, the problem here is the procedure. How to do it properly so it will work ? I can connect via ethernet by easy configuring eth0 but i have no success for wireless networks. I read everything there was on google, i searched a lot of sites, i tried a lot of different methods but NONE of it worked.
I have one pc on which I have installed slackware and samba (fixed IP, mask 255.255.255.0) I have another PC (also XP) which also has fixed IP running XP, and I can connect that to the slackware server easily My third PC connects to the internet and gets its IP address from the Cisco router(?) that provides the IP and mask on boot up.
I tried changing the IP and Mask on the slackware server to match the internet PC (which uses a mask 255.255.254.0) but the PC mask and IP changed on the internet PC I want the PC that connects to the internet to also be able to connect to the slackware server, but I see no need for the slackware server to also connect to the internet - I will mainly use it as a file server When I worked for another company I think the IT department talked about having 2 network cards in the PC that connects to the internet
I've install Slackware 13.1 and i cannot shutdown my PC. The shut down process stop while trying to run PCMCIA module.
This is the first time that happens.
From Hardware point of view , i didn't do anything at all (if that helps).
Anyone upgraded php to 5.3.x in slack 13.1?
Could you please share the slackbuild?
I installed a slack 13.7 on an old laptop. KDE was set as default desktop. then I login and run startx and I saw KDE first screen display. after that I saw blank screen with a mouse on it. Then it stayed there and it seems try read some in my harddisk since the persistent harddisk light.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to put slackware to sleep or have it hibernate the system simply sits with a black screen. Normally it would do this for a short period of time immediately before the actual sleep state (screen powered off, croissant light on) is entered, but currently it does it indefinitely. My sleep USED to work just fine, it broke after some unclean shutdown or another, basically I just want to know what I can try resetting to try to get it back to normal.
Slackware64 13.1, running on thinkpad X61.
EDIT: Of course the second I make the post I think of trying to sleep/hibernate from the command line instead of through X/GDM (Gnome SlackBuild). That works.
I have some doubts about the official Pat's upgrading procedure. In the UPGRADE.TXT file, one of the stepts says:
Code:
upgradepkg --install-new *.t?z What does --install-new mean? Pkgs I have no installed on my 13.1 will be installed on the 13.37 upgrade? For example, I did not installed KDE on 13.1. Will be installed when upgrade? - What about third party pkgs? Slacky, SlackBuilds.org, compiled by myself. Should I remove them before upgrading slack?
Does it mean that a 64 bit version is not multi-core?

Has anyone here succeeded in getting armed slack running on a consumer kirkwood device .ie. one without serial console? I have a tonido plug that I want to liberate. By default the plug boots first from the external usb, so I would only need to set up / on the first partition. I would be very interested to know if someone had managed to install slack to the internal nand without bricking it.

View 6 Replies View Relatedmy problem, I have Slackware 13 dual booted with vista on a dell 1545 2 ghz 2gig ram. to these forums I have gotten everything working except my creative zen vision M 30g.

any way i can transfer files back and forth to this would be great since it does not work in vista either. and I am pretty sure 99.9% that I have all the libmtp, libnjb, and whatever other libs are needed installed but in gnomad it says no devices found on USB hub. I hope this is enough info and someone out there has the trick or maybe I am missing something obvious.
