How does the relationship of release of Slackware relate to hardware capability of a PC?
What I mean to ask is, in general, I presume a 10 year old PC is likely to have difficulty running 13.37 and might be better off with an earlier release or am I wrong? My current PC is 5 years old and has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800 processor and 2MB of RAM. It manages fine with Slackware 64 13.0. I have installed 13.37 on another partition but not decided whether to move to it or not. One thing I was wondering was - is 13.37 more demanding of resources for my ageing PC or could it be on the contrary - the newer kernel is actually more efficient and and less demanding of resources?
I have 9.10 ubuntu installation - I have updated all packages and it is up-to-date. However, I have a issue with the latex installation, not latex so to say, it is the pstricks
Installed package : texlive-pstricks version - 2007.dfsg.17-2ubuntu1
Also it is the latest version available in the repo. However, this is not the latest in pstricks. I find that version in the new 10.04 is 2009-7ubuntu3
Is there some way to get this installed in 9.10? Or I have to upgrade my whole installation?
I'm currently using Fedora 15 Beta on my laptop and I always use YUM to update my OS every week. I have a question that when official release of Fedora 15 will be available, should I reinstall that stable version on my laptop? Does YUM application automatically update the latest packages for my OS?
how to update from the 2nd beta of 10.4 to the official release? the update manager shows updates, but no kernel updates or anything. i've ran the update-manager -d but only see few updates, nothing like upgrading.
I know, I know Pat and crew deserve a break after a long dev cycle, but I got hooked on -current moving, so sue me . I was just wondering how long does it usually take before current starts moving again after a release?
Have just installed 10.04 in the lure to get 10.10, the latest release(Guys out there at the Launchpad have become SMART & thwarted an another attempt of mine to fetch a free CD again!)Update Manager shows up relevant updates of upto 301.something MBs in size BUT is not reflecting the latest release 10.10?!
Went to the settings to try out "Normal Release" under Release upgrade options, but nothing shows up on 10.10. When can I expect 10.10 start getting reflected within Update Manager?
I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. my application( say ap1) was runing file. then i installed wine using repository and installed two windows application under wine.

I'm pretty new subversion, and have a basic question which I haven't found the answer to:Say that I on machine A modify the working copy of my code, create a tag "release-1.0", and commit it, how can I on machine B point the working copy to the tagged code? For example, say my "code" is actually config files for Apache, and I wan't apache running on machine B to update it's config files based on the files found in tag "release-1.0", how is this done?
I'm sure the solution is very easy, but I just can wrap my head around it.
I am having a problem updating my Ubuntu (10.04 Lucid Lynx). I see that other have had this problem before back on Intrepid but I was unable to find any information about people having this problem recently. When I try to update using Update Manager, I get the following errors:
I keep getting this error on my debian server (Buffalo Linkstation so there is no GUI):
Debian Linux Version 2.6.12.6-arm1 W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-arm/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/squeeze/updates/Release Unable to find expected entry main/binary-arm/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.Ive tried and tried changing the source.list to different repos but keep getting the same error over and over. Im really not sure what to do and I have no idea how to fix it. Its been working fine for the longest time.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 beta a couple of days back.This is the first time I am using a beta release.Some programs are crashing, although not frequently.
My question is - WHEN THE FINAL VERSION OF UBUNTU 10.04 IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD, IS IT MANDATORY TO DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE ? OR WILL UPDATING OR UPGRADING VIA THE system ---- administration --- update manager will upgrade my current beta version to the final release ???
I'm running 8.04 on my desktop system. I haven't used it in quite awhile, but I logged in today to find 100+ updates and figured I may as well update the system.
Then I realized that unlike my other Ubuntu machines, I don't have a "New distribution release is available" prompt in the update manager.
I went ahead and ran the 100 updates and rebooted and still don't see that option.
just noticed this, for some reason in (System>Administrator>) theres a menu entry saying "install RELEASE", its not realy a problem im just wondering why its there if i have fully installed ubuntu? it never use to be there either is it just a bug from an update?
I'm now using Ubuntu 9.04 and I think of upgrading it to version 10.04 (when it shall be "stable").I'd like to know if I am supposed to modify /etc/apt/sources.list with the name of the new version even though I upgrade by "update-manager-core" with the command sudo do-release-upgrade
After I upgrade my slackware to current(kernel 2.6.35.11),X could not start.My video card is ATI Radeon HD 4570.and I do reinstall fglrx like old ways :
But after restart, X could not start,and Keyboard does not respond. Also ,when I try init 3 and remove xorg.conf,The X can start with a low resolution(1024X768).In console mode,I got a high resolution(1366X768). So,is there a confict between fglrx and new kernel or What have I done Wrong?
does anyone knows if an update of pidgin will appears on the 13.1 branch ? I guess it will be updated on the -current branch but for now there's that SSL certificate error that flood the screen with popups...
I currently have a VPS(virtual private server) that runs Slackware 12. The image was made way back in 2007, and obviously it hasn't been updated.The version is VERY minimal, it doesn't even have all the packages from A, but I can get any I want and install as I wish.Is there an easy way to update 12 to 12.2? Going to 13 is probably out of the question without a clean install over a network and doing it remotely, which is probably beyond my capabilities.I can't mess with the kernel unfortunately, but I can install practically any packages.
At yesterday night i run a slackpkg update and then slackpkg upgrade-all. i deselect all kernel related entries,and all others ( dont remeber precisely, but approx 15 - 20 packages, i e kde related) i get to update.
After that i shut system down and going to sleep. today i start my eeepc 900 with slackware 13.0 after that update and see i cannot run "Terminal" link on desktop. ok, go to "start", "system", "konsole terminal". from first look in konsole window i see whatever not ok - window background is grey, not black as usual. when i run mc in this window, look like a monitor contrast is set to minimum, and brightness to maximum - very hard to see files, etc. all is very much light and small contrast.
I check kde windows - all its ok, brightness and contrast in konkueror windows and overall is ok -as same as previously times. i switch to ctrl-alt-f6 to native console - again, all is ok - background is black, all is ok.
i e problem is only with Konsole-Terminal under KDE. looks for configfiles / etc - nothing faund. no man entry for terminal nur console.
[URL] I am trying to update alsa from version 1.0.21 to 1.0.24 and am having some issues. While trying to build the alsa until I get an error. I've been googling around and so far have found nothing. I was getting more errors earlier but that was solved by installing xmlto.
Code:

I'm not sure how you do it, but it seems like you should be able to. How do you upgrade the version to 13 without burning a new CD? I just used slackpkg update, slackpkg upgrade-all, but when I tried install-new it had nothing to do.
