Slackware :: Error In Package Size With PKGtool

Apr 10, 2011

A slacky.eu user Spina, I did notice a bug in calculating the size of the package when the directory contains a space in the name. Example:

Code:
/tmp/prova dir# LANG=en installpkg abook-0.6.0pre2-i686-4cf.txz
/bin/du: cannot access `/tmp/prova': No such file or directory
/bin/du: cannot access `dir/abook-0.6.0pre2-i686-4cf.txz': No such file or directory
Verifying package abook-0.6.0pre2-i686-4cf.txz.
Installing package abook-0.6.0pre2-i686-4cf.txz:

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
# abook
# Abook is a text-based addressbook program designed to use with mutt
# mail client. Abook runs on Linux, FreeBSD and some other UNIXes.
# Home: [URL]
# Package abook-0.6.0pre2-i686-4cf.txz installed.

This error is caused by 'readlink -f'
COMPRESSED="$(/bin/du -sh $(readlink -f $package) | cut -f 1)"
instead with
Code:
COMPRESSED="$(/bin/du -sh "$(readlink -f $package)" | cut -f 1)"
it's ok

Slackware :: Pkgtool Not Been Created With Makepkg

Jan 22, 2010

I installed a slackware package using pkgtool.

At the end of the install process I get the following warning: WARNING: Package has not been created with 'makepkg'

It appears that the package was installed if I look at the file system. I see new files/directories from the package. But, when I try to launch the new application from /usr/bin I get this error: No such file or directory

I am a normal user "su -" to root when I did the pkgtool install and when I tried to run the application from /usr/bin.

I can see the binary in /usr/bin with a directory listing with the following permissions. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root

I see the application as installed in the pkgtool and can un-install it.

why I can not launch the binary in /usr/bin?

Slackware :: Cannot Run Installpkg And PKGtool As Normal User

Mar 24, 2011

I have recently installed the Slack 13.1 x86_64 on my laptop. It works fine! But I have one trouble with it. I cannot run the installpkg and pkgtool with my normal user. It says to me that there is no command found. Is it a problem with the sudoers file or these commands are not really installed? Maybe my path is incomplete?

Slackware :: Slackware 13.37 Doesn't Determine Monitor Size Correctly

Jun 12, 2011

I have a display problem since updating to Slackware 13.37. Everything was fine on Slackware 13.1, but when I switched to 13.37 some piece of software came up with the wrong monitor size. I have a 1600x900 LCD monitor but the X screen came up as 1024x768 with blackness on either side of it. Under Slackware 13.1 the X screen came up as 1600x900 as it should without any prompting from me; I didn't even have an Xorg.conf file. I tried using the Xorg.conf file which was needed and work for older Slackwares, eg 12.*, but it didn't work. (Saying it didn't work is a gross understatement! That old Xorg.conf completely screwed up mouse, keyboard, and monitor; the screen was flashing and nothing worked. The only way to get control back was to SSH into the machine from my laptop and reboot. Killing the X server via that SSH console did NOT the flashing or get me back to my console login; only reboot worked.)

I find I can get the screen to be the right size manually by going through KDE's "System Settings" --> "Display and Monitor" --> "Size & Orientation", then disabling "LVDS1" and setting VGA1 to 1600x900. The size of my odd-sized monitor is being correctly detected for the "Auto" choice. Upon reboot LVDS1 stays disabled but VGA1 reverts to 1024x768 so I have to do this each time.I've done some search of the on-line literature regarding the error messages I am seeing in the boot log.

People are suggesting changing all kinds of things to alleviate the side effects of the "conflicting" error message above, even modifying GRUB parameters (which won't work for me since I use LILO).So, I have a manual work around which I must do each time I log in. Does someone know how I can get X or KDE to force 1600x900 upon start (while Linux/X/whoever find and fix the problem) or does someone know of a real fix?

Slackware :: How To Re-size Slackware Partition Without Deleting It And Starting

Jan 16, 2011

How do i re size my Slackware partition without deleting it and starting over, I'm new to Slackware and the work i have done i don't feel like doing again.I have set my swap and my actual HDD partition for Slackware to +8048M, I am correct in saying that fdisk can only delete and start fresh, I was a Ubuntu/Fedora user if i could get something like Gparted up that would be great but i don't mind some reading and learning some more terminal based stuff.Planning on working out the kinks and dealing with the learning curve, Love to learn.

Applications :: Can't Use Pkgtool To Remove Multimedia Programs

Feb 18, 2010

Want to remove programs with no explanations on how to use so used pkgtool to remove gxine, xine, and xmms.
When I try to remove juK or Dragon Player, they do not show up in pkgtool list. Dragon Player will not now run from the multimedia list and JuK can't run after starting because it is missing files which were removed by pkgtool above. How do I now go about finding and removing these last two?

General :: Bash PKGtool Command Not Found

Jun 6, 2011

I'm not entirely sure how to describe this. I've got a user account set up and I've downloaded a few programs I'd like to install. When I'm in my account, I go to the terminal and type then get;
$ pkgtool
bash: pkgtool: command not found
However, if I'm in root and do the same thing, it brings up the menu. What do I have to do to get pkgtool to work from my user account?

OpenSUSE :: How To Know The Size Of A Package In YaST2

Apr 26, 2011

Is there a way to know the size of a package in YaST2?I only have 50MB left in my root partition / (Btw, my /home is in a separate partition.) and I'm looking for a way to selectively delete package depending on it's size. Also, when we "remove" a package in YaST2, is it "completely" removed? or is there some residual rpm left? (of course /home/configs would be kept as it is an expected behavior).

General :: Make ZIP Or RAR Package Of Directory With Increased Size?

Nov 30, 2010

I have this directory with multiple images 'pics' and the size is 20mb and I want to make a .zip or .rar package of this directory but with an increased size so the .zip/.rar file will be 100mb, and then when you extract it the file size is the original 20mb. I want to make the result file bigger, no compress it. I need to put all the directory in one single file .zip or .rar but it has to weight more (100mb), maybe it can be done with another application. By the way, I have a centos 5 from command line.

Slackware :: Any Kind Of Package Manager / Slap-get / Sbopkg For Slackware ARM?

Feb 13, 2011

I am very happy to announce that today I succeeded to install full Slackware ARM on the pandaboard: URL...I did the following:

* sd with 2 partitions, one (vfat) for bootloaders (MLO, u-boot.bin) and uImage and the other one (ext2) for minirootfs
* copy xloader (MLO), uboot and uImage from Angstrom distro on the first partition
* copy Slackware ARM minirootfs on the second partition with Angstrom modules in the usual path (/lib/modules/...)
* boot in ARMedslack
* install all the others packages via NFS

I had to make some changes to configuration files as indicated here:URL...The next step is to build a kernel and modules for omap4 by myself and use them instead of the Angstrom ones.One question: is there any kind of package manager, such as slap-get, sbopkg, etc. for Slackware ARM? If not, can I use the SlackBuilds from slackbuilds.org? How to modify them?

Slackware :: Swap Partition Size For Hibernation?

Sep 26, 2010

Currently running Slackware64 13.1 on a notebook and for the most part everything works fine. Only problem I am running into is with hibernation, where sometimes it will go into hibernation without a hitch and sometimes it will stall after blanking the screen and never turning off. For the most part pm-suspend.log looks fine every time, whether it goes into hibernation or not. My current system has 12GB of RAM and my swap partition is roughly 12GB. For the most part my RAM usage right before going into hibernation is always under 1.5GB with maybe 600MB floating in the swap partition. Could the size of my swap partition be too small even if RAM usage is nowhere near max?

Slackware :: System Shell Font Size ?

Dec 28, 2010

I was using UBUNTU and still do, but I dual boot UBUNTU/Slackware now and my Linux knowledge has increased so much. This forum has been right there with me for the last couple weeks and I was reticent to post a question until a knew I had exhausted the available sources. So here goes.....Can I change the font size of the system shell that begins at startup (with the boot info and stuff). I really like using this shell as user. The thing that would make me nuts for it is if I can make the text a bit smaller. I have a 1920x1200 display and could really take advantage of all of that "real estate." The other posts related to this seem to focus an a broken configuration from the beginning, but my install is SWEET. Can I change this or is it baked into the system?

Slackware :: Resizing Ext4 Partition Size With Fdisk?

Oct 8, 2010

Mis-allocated 10g instead of 30g to /var/lib/mysql and realized mistake After Fresh Install and upgraded all servers. Using Slackware13.1, Xfce did some googling wondering if its possible to resize the above partition with fdisk. Read some things about gparted and wonder if it will work using Xfce.. i've never use kde or gnome. There is also mention of using live cd; I have no experience with any of the mentioned tools; just fdisk to partition and install. What is the best or simplest way to backup & restore; (I do have an empty sdb 160g but don't want to get into complicated raid or LVM setups right now because I still have to learn howto backup & restore do data to the point where I feel comfortable with it)?

Current setup: sda 160gb Hdd used 73.5 for following partitions: sda1 512m /boot; sda2 Extended Rest of Hdd; sda5 1280m /swap; sda6 8g /home; sda7 2g /; sda8 8g /usr; sda9 8g /usr/local; sda10 10g /var; sda11 10g /var/log; *sda12 10g instead of 30g /var/lib/mysql; sda13 10g /opt; sda14 5g /tmp Haven't configure mysql... so /dev/sda12 is empty except for system disk data the same goes for /dev/sda13 /opt & /dev/sda14 /tmp
