Slackware :: Installing Slackware 13.1 X86_64?

Oct 2, 2010

I have just been forced into upgrading my mother board and cpu so now own a x86 cpu and was thinking i would give the x86_64 Slackware a try. I realize that i need to do a reinstall but can i save my /home partition? Will that save my settings or am i asking for problems? I assume i can just drop all of my config files into the new install as well.

General :: Installing Slackware On IDE Hard Rive Boot From Slackware DVD?

Jan 23, 2010

I try to install Slackware to my IDE hard drive and boot first from Slackware DVD. After I loaded huge.s kernel, and tried to partition the hard drive using fdisk by entering "fdisk /dev/hda", I found out that the partition size is max to 3 Gigs instead of 80 Gigs.

I think the kernel is looking at my boot disk, which is around 3 Gigs. How can I make so that it looks at my IDE drive instead at my boot drive? Is there any manual that shows me how to install Linux from scratch this means I want to wipe out all my hard disk and install Slackware Linux there?

Slackware :: Installing New Software On Slackware 13 X64 / Especially Python

Mar 26, 2010

I'm now up and running on slackware 13 x64. I have noticed that the version of Python installed was 2.6.2 but there were a lot of bug fixes between this and 2.6.5. What is the best way to get 2.6.5 running on my machine. Do I have to install from source or is anybody aware of any packages that have been released?

Again, I'm not too familiar with package management systems on Slackware as I have always installed from source but this became a bit of a bind recently as updating software to newer versions involved a lot of hard work. Can anybody give me an ideas on the packaging systems available, the best ones to use, and where I can find information about the packages related to the package managers?

Slackware :: Fbreader.SlackBuild Uses /usr/lib In X86_64

Jan 13, 2010

I used the fbreader.SlackBuild in a 64bit system to create a package and I got some libraries installed under /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. FBReader seems to work fine though, so I'm not sure this is a problem. I guess it could be if some other app looks for those libraries. Just thought I should report it anyway.

I used UI=gtk if it matters.

Slackware :: Sc Doesn't Really Work In X86_64?

Dec 2, 2010

The sc spreadsheet app doesn't really work in 64bits. It launches but you're unable to do anything with it, it's not possible to enter any values in the cells or do anything else. It works fine in 32bit though.

To make it work properly in 64bits, you can use this patch, borrowed from debian: http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/13.1...changes-7.16-3

And there is also this patch to make DESTDIR work properly with the Makefile: http://salix.enialis.net/x86_64/13.1...-destdir.patch

Slackware :: How To Compile Gnustep For X86_64

Apr 9, 2010

The background to the problem. I was dangerous, not deadly or elite and I want to be that way again. The best representation that I have found is oolite. Now this installs by auto-package but only in 32-bit and I find auto-package a bit of a pain. I have the windows version installed and running under wine but would prefer a compiled 64-bit Slackware package.

Oolite requires gnu-step so I have downloaded the source and some old (12.2) slackbuilds, which I have modified, and made a package for gnustep-make. The next stage is to make a package for gnustep-base however it is failing with the following error

Code:

./configure: line 1390: gnustep-config: command not found
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh /tmp/SBo/gnustep-base-1.18.0/config.sub

Slackware :: 13.1 X86_64 And X86 Dual Boot Setup?

Jun 12, 2010

I've got 13.1 x86_64 installed on /dev/sda2, and I would like to have 13.1 x86 installed on /dev/sdb2. How do I setup lilo.conf to handle this? While installing 13.1 x86 on /dev/sdb2 I skipped the LILO step, so what I currently have is a full 32 bit Slackware 13.1 install on /dev/sdb2, but no way to boot it.

Slackware :: Change The $ARCH Variable To X86_64 Too, Right?

Jun 5, 2011

I'm mainly asking beforehand so I won't have to shoot myself in the head twenty minutes from now. I suppose I'll find/figure out one way or the other anyway . Can I just source the 32dev.sh and then run sbopkg -i if the source for the package I want to create isn't 64bit capable? I might need to change the $ARCH variable to x86_64 too, right?

Slackware :: Heavy Instability On X86_64 Current?

Sep 29, 2010

I have a very frustrating stability problem on my Workstation where I run a Slackware64 Current installation. The problem is, many programs just crashes, after they started, or after a quit short while. Affected are Firefox, Thunderbird, Krusader, Amarok, Konsole, and many other programs. The second problem is, if I downloaded a bzip2 archive, it is corrupt. I downloaded many archives, from other mirrors, and all corrupt. I had installed, the Multilib-packages, thought they would be the reason for the problems, and installed the standard packages of glibc and gcc. No changes. Then I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.33.4, to 2.6.35.6. (Compiled it myself) Nothing better.

Slackware :: Installing Flash In Slackware 13?

Jan 23, 2010

I'm trying to install the latest version of Flash in Slackware 13 on a 32 bit machine. Adobe seems to have rpm and deb installers, but there's no TXZ. Normally, tar.gz wouldn't be a problem, but the package they have there only contains a shared library. No installation script, no readme, no nothing. Further, the SlackBuild is for an outdated version, and the installation doesn't work.

Slackware :: Installing Wine On Slackware 13.0?

I'm back to slack after several years. I'd like to install wine. I have downloaded wine-1.1.33.tar.bz2[URL]..I am currently looking at the installation instructions. I would welcome any advice, comments or caveats that might contribute to the installation. In particular, have I made the
correct download? Another example: My preference is that the installation be made to /usr/local, since that directory is on its own partition. Will that introduce any problems?

Slackware :: Slackware 13.1: Installing KmyMoney From SB?

Mar 12, 2011

I'm using Slackware 13.1 and am trying to install KmyMoney from SlackBuilds. For some reason, I get the following compiling error:

Code:
Scanning dependencies of target kmymoney-handbook
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/kmymoney-4.5.2/build'
make -f doc-translations/it_kmymoney/kmymoney/CMakeFiles/kmymoney-handbook.dir/build.make doc-translations/it_kmymoney/kmymoney/CMakeFiles/kmymoney-handbook.dir/build
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/SBo/kmymoney-4.5.2/build'
/usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /tmp/SBo/kmymoney-4.5.2/build/CMakeFiles
[100%] Generating index.cache.bz2

[Code]...

It seems like this error is related to some handbook or translation documentation? Is there some dependency I'm missing? (There shouldn't be according to SB). Or is there a way I can block compiling this documentation in the build script? I tried commenting out "set -e" in the build script, but the resulting packing wouldn't run after I installed it.

Slackware :: Breakage Occasioned By Xrdb-1.0.9-x86_64-1_slack13.1?

May 2, 2011

A routine slackpkg upgrade-all on Slackware64 13.1 upgraded xrdb to xrdb-1.0.9-x86_64-1_slack13.1 and resulted in breaking urxvt. The cause was hard to find; it turned out to be a trailing space in ~/.Xresources on custom line

Code:
URxvt.keysym.Mod4-v: perl:clipboard:paste which sets up Super+E to call the sub paste in the perl file "clipboard".

IDK whether other X resources or programs would be more tolerant of trailing space(s) and whether this is Slackware-specific (unlikely, given Slackware's philosophy) but it is such a difficult problem to identify I thought it worth this "heads up".

Slackware :: Proprietary Nvidia Driver Crashes - 13 X86_64

Jan 23, 2010

I'm having an issue where the proprietary nvidia driver seems to crash my system. the weird thing is that it only happens if i have already started an X session. here is what i mean. i don't use a display manager so i invoke X by running startx. now if i run it for the first time it starts no problem. but if i kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace and then try to run startx again it just hangs and the machine completely freezes up. this only happens with the proprietary nvidia driver. if i use the vesa driver it works fine. the open-source nvidia driver doesn't seem to support my card: GeForce GT220. i never had this problem with slackware 13 x86. i have tried using the 190.42 version from slackbuilds.org as well as the latest version from nvidia's site 190.53. aside from this problem it seems to work fine otherwise.

Slackware :: X86_64 '-current' FireFox & Thunderbird With Linking?

Jan 21, 2010

I'm preparing a laptop for Slackware 13.x or whatever the new release will be. I've installed '-current' x86_64 arch. Boy, is this baby fast on this laptop. I thought 13 was fast but oh well another thread.

My issue now is that with '-current' is that ThunderBird links won't open in FF. I click on a link in TB and noting happens. I searched and found '"Browser" problems in Thunderbird 3'.

In this thread, post #9;Quote:

and worked fine.

I modified the 'prefs.js' file. Of course it was done while app was not running. Still no joy. Further searches showed the same thing with most users bumping back to older versions. There's got to be fix and I refuse to give up to a computer let alone a DE.
