Slackware :: How To Figure Out Dependencies

Nov 29, 2010

I installed slackware 13.1 (64) but I didn't install kde because I am using fluxbox. Now I would like to install k3b. I have gslapt installed but there are no dependencies listed. The k3b website says that kde is a requirement but that can't be true. find the dependencies of the official slackware package. The slackware book does not seem to have that information.

I am very frustrated with OpenSUSE. This got rid of yum and instead have YaST which is a pain for me. I CANT INSTALL compat-expat1*.rpm either way....it shows dependencies that CAN'T figure outI'm using open SUSE 11 so no yum and just YaST (which I don't understand how to install this from there, can you give me more detailed explanation).

Slackware :: Can't Figure Out How To Get Wireless Running

Apr 28, 2011

so I know this is probably one of the most asked questions from Slackware noobs, but i can't seem to find an acceptable answer to this question. How to get wireless networking, working under Slackware linux.I know the tools i should be using(ifconfig, iwconfig) but I have no idea how to use them. I know the init script that I need to edit but I'm not to sure where to get the information it requires, such as the ESSID.I am running 13.1 64bit. I know that the wireless network I want to connect to uses WPA encryption.As well I have never used Slackware before, I've had the most experience with CrunchBang, the problem being wireless worked out of the box for that.

Slackware :: Can't Figure Out How To Get Wireless Working?

Feb 4, 2010

Ok, so I've been researching this like all day because I can't figure out how to get my wireless working on Slackware (and that's the only way I can get internet on my laptop here). So, when I run uname -a it tells me I am running kernel 2.6.29.6 According to http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi since I have a Intel� PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter the iwlwifi driver included with Slackware and the released drivers will not work.

So, I "need to use the compat-wireless project that retrieves the latest driver development code from the upstream repository." Problem #1 - I can't access the repository from Slackware without my wireless. Problem #2 - I have no idea how to get the files I need / configure my system to use them from my other OS (I am triple-booting Windows 7, Linux Mint, and Slackware). So, I THINK once I get the driver installed for my wireless it should be easy enough. I've already become pretty familiar with rc.inet1.conf from trying to get it to work so far, so if all I need to do after this is mess with that then I should be fine.explain if/how I can get the right driver set up in Slackware? I can access my Slackware partition from my other distro no problem.

Slackware :: How To Figure Out What ARCH Binary Was Compiled For

Jul 3, 2010

If I was writing a SlackBuild that repackages a precompiled binary, how would I know if it was i{3,4,5,6}86?Or should I just assume i386 unless it says otherwise?Just wondering how the people at SlackBuilds.org figure this out.

Slackware :: Use RPM For Dependencies?

Nov 26, 2010

I am using slackbuilds.org, linuxpackages.net, sBOpkg, slackyeu and very good source is www.slackfind.net for browsing and finding packages.

But sometimes when I download and Install package (with slapt-get or installpkg tool) I dont have all dependencies to run my software. Slapt-get can solve dependencies only if the are locate in repository.

Than, I start to find dependencies manually on high writed sites, but usually I cant find it. (Off course, only some packages).

Easy way is go to [url] and I can find 99% all of dependencies to my packages in rpm format and for various architectures.

I use rpm2tgz and just convert rpm to tgz and Install package as normal. 95% packages installed this way is working.

Where do you find dependencies you? Or, is anybody using rpm for solving dependencies too?

Slackware :: 32 Bit Package Use 64 Bit Dependencies?

Jun 4, 2011

Theres a package I'm going to install that is available only in 32-bit, but I have its dependencies installed as regular 64-bit. Since I'm multilib, will the 32-bit package be able to work with the 64-bit deps?
If not, can 32-bit versions of the deps be installed side by side with the 64 bit?

Slackware :: Dependencies While Installing Applications?

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?

Slackware :: Package Manager And Dependencies ?

Aug 12, 2010

I am a long-time Debian user (I use it since Woody) and yesterday, due to an unexpected problem on my hard drive and an inexplicable lack of a current Debian cd or a possibility to perform a net install, I had to choose between either stay without computer at home or install one of the two other operating systems I happened to have on cds: Free-BDS or Slackware 13.0. Since I do not have time to learn something that I consider to be more radically different from Debian, I went for Slack.

So, first impressions:

1. Quick and smooth installation, though I got a bit over-enthusiastic when it came to select packages to install and unselected many libraries that I later realised that were necessary for various packages and I had to install them anyway.

2. Configure my wifi was surprisingly easy. I had braced myself for overly-complicated configurations to be done while I'd not have access to google, however rc.inet1.conf was very straight-forward and it provided plenty of examples to illustrate basically every possible configuration. All I had to do was to copy my wpa_supplicant.conf from my Debian backup and it worked.

3.X: For some reason I expected I'd have trouble to properly install and configure X, however my window manager was up and running in a few minutes. I copied my ~/GNUstep folder from my backup gave me the exact same X environment I had in Debian.

4. Package managing and dependencies: (I think I am correct to presume that that has to be the main complaint of most Debian users). pkgtool is very easy to use but, yeah, it does not resolve dependencies.

However, and while I installed a system way more minimalistic than any Debian system I had, I was surprised to find out that:

-Firefox had only ONE dependency

-vlc had none

-xfe, on the other hand, has some obscure dependency that I cannot figure out where to get it (libGLU).

So, a question for more experienced Slackware users: How do you get around the dependencies? Is there a quick way to find out what additional packages you will need on beforehand, or you install the package and try to run it, so to see what libs you need when it fails to start?

Slackware :: Track Down Unused Dependencies?

Feb 9, 2010

I have no problem with resolving dependencies on my own, but when I uninstall a programm, how could I keep track of the dependencies, thus remove them?

Is there a possibility to store this information in the /var/log/packages files, or better yet, is it possible to include the dependencies in the the .tgz's, so a 'removepkg' would get rid of them as well?

Slackware :: Checking - And Finding The Source For Dependencies ?

Nov 23, 2010

I'm looking to install, and perhaps create a SlackBuild) for an application that I think might be interesting.

The dependencies listed are:

libx11-dev, libxt-dev, libimlib2-dev, giblib-dev, and libxinerama-dev

I've checked to see if the packages are installed w/:

Code:

I've also looked for any existing SlackBuilds, but the only one that showed up in the database is: "giblib"

Where can I look to find these dependencies, their sources, or determine whether they're already installed in Slackware64 13.1?

Also, how would one determine if this can compile for a 64bit, non multi-lib install?

Slackware :: Get Rid Of All The Unneeded Dependencies When Remove A Program?

Jul 9, 2011

I'm using slackware 13.37 and I must say that I really like this distro and the biggest problem is the lack of dependency handling. This is something that bites you right away because you have this nice clean simple operating system but unless you really know what's dependent on what you have to install piles of stuff with lots of programs with duplicate functions. A minimal install option would be nice and I can see from some of the threads that even those with a good deal of experience have had a hard time doing a minimal install. I tried about ten times using different guides but I always ended up with something broken so now I have the full install running fine but with tons of stuff that I don't want or need including most of kde. Anyway, I don't think that the slackware people are going to change their minds about dependency handling anytime this century.

Although for those who have said that it's a FEATURE, I'd point out that all distros have this feature, JUST DON'T USE THEIR PACKAGE MANAGER! So with all that said, I think it's a shame about the lack of dependency handling but I still like slackware well enough to use it even though I find the dependency thing quite annoying. I know that there are people here that have a lot more experience than I do and maybe there are some tools that could make this business easier. So how do you go about removing programs? Debian has deborphan and Arch has pacman -Rd. When you remove a program in slackware, how do you then get rid of all the unneeded dependencies?

Slackware :: Proposal Regarding The _registration_ Of Package Dependencies By Pkgtools?

Jul 12, 2011

A topic that was discussed here quite bright, was recording dependencies by Pkgtools without these dependencies to be managed automatically, of course. Here comes my proposal, which is a very small change of installpkg.As you can see, installpkg records in the packages database these dependencies, if they are present in the slapt-get style, but does not imply any automatic management.

You'll wonder, why is it useful to record dependencies if they are completely ignored? Well, the best example is even consulting them directly by user, but even allows you to write/modify an 3rd-party application to manage them efficiently, why not?

Slackware :: Gnome-sharp Not Compiling Despite All Dependencies Being Installed?

Nov 16, 2010

Gnome-sharp is a dependency of Tomboy. It has many dependencies itself, but all are satify-able from SBO. So I installed them all (yes including mono!) from SBO, then tried to install gnome-sharp. Problem is when running the slackbuild I get this error -

Slackware :: Slack Build Binary Dependencies In Database

Jul 17, 2011

sbbdep is a program that reads the elf header of dynamic linked files found in the given argument. argument can be

a package file from /var/adm/packages/...
a DESTDIR destination path of make install
a single given binaries/dynamic libraries

as result it prints out, or into a file, the package names the given argument require. sbbdep scans installed packages, extract some information about dynamic linked binaries and libraries and dumps these infos into a sqlite database usually sbbdep works fast. time consuming is only the first where the cache becomes created this takes about ~? (1 - 2) minutes, of cause, duration depends on the number of cpus and speed of disk io on other runs than the first sbbdep syncs the cache, this is usually a fast operation (~1sec), even if some packages where undated/remoed/installed using the cache with a sqlite client some custom queries can be done like what is required by pkg or file, what are the dependencies of file xy,....

current state of sbbdep is 0.0.1, the first public release. of cause I wanted to make some things better, prettier, more documented and o on but before going on holiday, than waiting until Christmas cause work stresses and than an other year comes I place the code now to a public repo. for me it looks stable enough to release it without stress people that will test/use sbbdep to much with problems. but there may be some bugs I did not noticed, or better say there will be some bugs like it is always the case in software. but since sbbdep does not anything critical an can/shall be run as normal user it will not do anything bad.......

Slackware :: Script To Detect Orphaned Libraries - Broken Lib Links - Missing Dependencies

Mar 9, 2010

My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.

This script is the result.

I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:

Fedora :: Can't Quite Figure Out What The Cause Is?

Apr 29, 2011

I'm attempting to put together a 'nice' front-end for a set of image deployment scripts I've written. I'm running in to two different issues that I'm sure are related, but I can't quite figure out what the cause is. I am populating a variable with information from several text files to form my tag, string and default state for a dialog statement...

Code:
for dir in /tmp/apps/* ; do
APPMENU="$APPMENU $(echo $dir | sed 's//tmp/apps///') $(cat $dir/info)"
An example of the contents of /tmp/apps/office/info:
Code:
'Microsoft Office Enterprise' 'on'
The result of echo $APPMENU:

Does anyone have any idea what I should check for? Is there's a specific quoting method I need? In a Bash script I'm pulling quoted text from a file with cat then writing that same string (hopefully quoted!) to a variable. I have a single set of hard quotes (') in my text files presently.

Ubuntu :: Can't Figure Out What Is Using RAM (and It's Not The Cache)?

Jun 15, 2010

I've been troubled by the high amount of RAM that is used by my Ubuntu desktop. Before I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (desktop, 64-bit) my system used around 500MB of RAM when no applications were open (just cold boot into the GNOME under 9.10). But when I installed Lucid, I've noticed that my used memory is now reported as 1GB or more as soon as I log into the system.

I want to figure out what is using all the extra RAM but I can't seems to find the culprit. I looked at all of the processes and numbers just don't add up. I exported the list of processes into a file and summed up the memory used by every process in a spreadsheet. The total came to around 700MB. Yet, both System Monitor and "free" reported the time that system was using over 1GB of memory. This means that at least 300MB of RAM are used but not by any process, at least as reported by "ps".
