Slackware :: KVIrc Has A Slackware Package At The Top Of Their List?
Jan 19, 2011
I'm elated when I see software download pages that include a binary Slackware package.wrt KVIrc, their Slackware package is at the top of their list of binaries.They've got an rpm too, but it's SuSE, not Redhat - I found that to be pretty kewl too.I wonder if they're Slackers... hm...Well, that having been said, there's also a SlackBuild for it at the repository.I'm going to give this client a spin and see how I like it.Here's the URL: http://www.kvirc.net/?id=releases&pl...=4.0.2&lang=enUPDATE: The mirrors I checked are reporting 404 errors... bummer.

We are pleased to present one of our new creations: pkgbuild, a tool written in standard C++, using libCURL, ZLib, BZip2 and libLZMA (part of XZ). It is a modern Slackware packages builder, network-transparent, multi-architecture, designed to greatly simplify the creation of a package, automatically executing the required post processing.
What does it do? Recognize and build packages for the following architectures: i386, i486, i586, i686, x86_64, IA64, IA32e, s390, s390x, sparc and sparc64.

I downloaded from http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/s...ce/n/net-snmp/ source and I build new package and works ok no errors. If I change net-snmp.SlackBuild and add CFLAGS --with-mib-modules=ucd-snmp/lmSensors --with-ldflags=-lsensors while I need lmsensors support in net-snmp. But the package compiling ends with error:

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?

1) I'm not sure which IP address to use when I list my machine name in /etc/hosts, particularly after reading:
Quote:
By the w]ay, Arnt Gulbrandsen <agulbra@nvg.unit.no> says that 127.0.0.1 # should NEVER be named with the name of the machine. It causes problems # for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. :^)
Here's what I have now:
Code:
root@eagleswing:~# hostname
eagleswing
root@eagleswing:~# cat /etc/HOSTNAME
eagleswing.5binc
[Code]...
I'm not certain how to include my router in /etc/hosts so I can use it to link my PCs as stated above. I was thinking of writing (see above link):
192.168.2.1 localbelkin Will this work & is it proper?
3) Do I need to make use of any other IP addresses at this link? What are the WAN IP & Default Gateway addresses used for? I am going to be serving documents & running scripts on Apache.

Is it possible to get a list of packages installed on the system that are not a part of Slackware (i.e. take all installed on system, take all packages that originally come with slack, find difference)? Worthy to mention is that I use slackpkg and run -current.

I am doing a spreadsheet for work (for importing data into a new database) and I have hundreds of image files which need to have just their file names in one column called Product Code. Is it possible to use the ls command to list the contents of a directory in one single column so that I can copy and paste to the spread sheet?
Also, is there a single command to remove the file extentions for a batch of files? Bulk rename is what I need, I guess but just to remove the file extension (.jpg on all of them). The normal use of ls lists them in multiple column form and when I copy and paste those it will not let me copy just one cloumn at a time. The spreadsheet only has three columns:
New Product Code Old Product Code Pictures New Product Code will be left black, and the Old Product Code is just the image names. The picture column will be the patch-to-the-image for each image. I am not sure that is even possible in a spreadsheet.

I have slackware64-13.0 & xfce. I installed somebody's openoffice package ( a repackaging of the rpms), openoffice.org-3.2.0_en_US-x86_64-1_rlw.txz and ran into crazy keyboard issues, double inserts of random keys when I type faster than a snail's pace liikee tthiis. I had errors from xkbcomp rolling off the screen.

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?

Running against a situation here, for which I have solutions in mind, but for some reason or another they don't really strike me as "good" solutions.
I am making a customized for myself (eg with postgreSQL support) php package. Configure and make run fine; but upon make install the make tries to access httpd.conf in the $DESTDIR/etc/httpd
My first thought is: prior to 'make install' copy the file from /etc/httpd to the target dir;

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?

I think there is a problem with the sox package that comes with Slackware 13.1.I would appreciate any advice. I'm using the same file, 1.wav, in both cases. The output of file 1.wav is1.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 HzOn 12.1, I can runsox 1.wav -e stat 2> /tmp/stat.txt

I have just made a clean installation of slackware 13.1 (Full installation from DVD)..At the time of installation , it prompted to create a bootable USB stick and I am able to boot using that
1.My BIOS is quite old and has the Cylinder 1024 problem..It just recognises 137 GB in a 160 GB drive...Most distros are able to read beyond the 137 GB ...Currently I am booting using GRUB 2 which was installed during Ububtu 10.10 install. As you are aware GRUB2 recognises all the OS in the drive automatically and adds them to the menu on "update-grub"...The slackware entry appears...However on selection I get the error - "error: out of Disk"...How to deal with this?
2. What is the default Package Manager for Slack? I read that Pkginstall is the default but doesnt update dependencies. I have salix (slack derivative) in another comp and I use "slapt-get"..Is it available in slackware?I want to install wireless driver ipw2100 (Intel pro wireless 2100 chipset) and get wireless up.. I can chroot from say Ubuntu and do the needful.

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
