Slackware :: Usbboot.img On Slackware64-current?
Apr 23, 2011Regarding the latest update to -current, I decided to test installing it on a laptop from a usb stick (as I've done may times before). However this time the usb stick fails to boot as usual, hanging with the message "Could not find kernel image: linux". This isn't a problem with the usb stick, since if you mount the usbboot.img file as a loop device there is only 1 file on there, "ldlinux.sys", where you would usually find huge.s, initrd.img etc.
Have tried the 64-bit usbboot.img file from a couple of different mirrors and the result is the same. Have also looked in the usbboot.img from the 32-bit -current... this shows the usual set of files so looks to be OK.
Slackware :: Can't Compile Tolua++ In Slackware64-current
Mar 22, 2010I'm trying to compile tolua++ so that i can use lua in conky 1.7.2, however I am running into a problem. tolua++ defaults to looking for lua 5.0 libraries and I have lua 5.1 installed since that is what conky requires. According to the README tolua++ can use lua-5.1 but I not sure how to configure tulua++ to use those libraries since it uses scons. Here is a what the README says...
Compiling for lua 5.1
Starting from version 1.0.8pre1, tolua++ can be compiled with both lua 5.0 and
5.1. Both versions will output the same code, and the C API (tolua++.h) is the
same.
The build system is not yet ready to detect/decide when to compile for 5.1,
the easiest way right now is to add a file called 'custom.py' on the root of
the package, with the following:
## BEGIN custom.py
CCFLAGS = ['-I/usr/local/include/lua5.1', '-O2', '-ansi']
LIBPATH = ['/usr/local/lib']
LIBS = ['lua5.1', 'dl', 'm']
tolua_bin = 'tolua++5.1'

Slackware :: Another Laptop About To Loose Virginity To Slackware64 -current?

I will keep Win7 for clients as this will be another laptop for that usage plus wanting to have a decent laptop for the rec room to do that style of work. Cheap way to service M$ clients without buying more personal license(s). So far no big deal with M$ Win7 but I need to have that pathway available to me.
My reason to buy this notebook rather then a netbook should be obvious, big enough for me to do what is necessary. I've got test beds to do the real work, netbooks just won't meet the needs as describe above. I purchased a Netbook for my wife. That one will be used while she's away to aid with the new Grandchild, a lot easier to carry than her old HP Laptop. If the Netbook is lost then no worry since it's cheaper than her HP.

Slackware :: Kernel Panic After Upgrading Slackware64-current To 2.6.32.x Kernel?
Jan 20, 2010I have one machine where I have several versions installed on different partitions. The base partition (/dev/hda1) is Slack 12.1. On a spare partition (/dev/hdc4) I had installed Slackware64-current. Last week I slackpkg upgraded and installed the 2.6.32.2 kernel, and now that partition will not boot. I know that with the new kernels the hd* designation has been removed, and have already redone that fstab (accessing it from a different boot) to reflect the sd*. Here is the slack64 section of my lilo.conf:

Slackware :: Current - Waking Up From Suspend State?
Apr 26, 2011I have a new clean install of 64bit current slackware on a machine which previously run 12.1 to 13.1. It had suspend to ram working quite reliable before, but now i get black screen (sometimes with nonresponding mouse cursor on it) at every second or third wake-up.
I found out that it is not a complete lockup - full access to kde desktop could be restored by hitting alt+sysrq+s followed by alt+sysrq+l several times. I wonder what is causing this? How to get it to wake up normally at once?
Edit: I've installed latest nvidia drivers (260.19.44) for GeForce 8500GT card - previous version (260.19.21) of drivers exhibited the same behaviour in my current install of slack.

Apr 29, 2011Is it just me or does the font rendering in Slackware64 13.37 look bad? It reminds me of the bad old days of having to recompile freetype with the then-patent-encumbered option to make the fonts look decent. When I print, everything looks normal. On screen it doesn't look right. I don't really know how to describe it other than it how things used to change after a freetype recompile. Is there anything major that changed between 13.1 and 13.37 WRT fonts in KDE, X, or freetype for that matter? FWIW, I did a clean install with a new .kde instead of using the old one.

Feb 20, 2011I've tried reinstalling Slackware64 13.1 to my PC a number of times over the past couple of days and I still have not been able to get it to boot.
Once it's installed I reboot and it tells me it can't find the operating system.
I've tried fdisk, cfdisk and GParted to set up the disk by deleting partitions and recreating them.
When I install and get to the section about installing LILO it says I have an OS/2 or Partition Magic boot manager on the drive, but there isn't. It asks if I want to install LILO in a compatible way with the boot manager and I say no, and install to the MBR. When I reboot it says it can't find the OS.
When I try to boot from the install DVD and get to the boot: prompt, I'll enter /dev/sda1 and it says there is no kernel.
Is there something else I'm missing?

Slackware :: Keeping Slackware64 Multilib Updated
Jul 19, 2010I'm going to install Slackware 13.1 soon and I may also install the 32-bit compatibility libraries from Eric (Alien BoB).I'd like confirmation on the process of updating multilib Slackware when there's a security patch. I'm talking about running the -stable branch, by the way.Under the normal methods of updating (e.g. 'slackpkg upgrade-all' or using the script I developed to download a local mirror of the patches directory and install from there, or even doing it by hand), the regular 64-bit packages will get updated.However, the 32-bit compatibility versions of those files won't get updated. Right?So I'll need to download the new 32-bit patches, run the convertpkg-compat32 script on them, and then upgradepkg the new files.

Slackware :: Get Kmymoney Working With HBCI Support On Slackware64-13.37 System?
May 8, 2011I am trying to get Kmymoney working with HBCI support on my Slackware64-13.37 system. My understanding is, that there are three dependencies for Kmymoney 4.5.3:
AqBanking 5.0.5
Gwenhyfwar 4.0.9
KMyMoney Plugin (kmm_kbanking) 1.0
I used to believe, that the plugin wasn't needed anymore in recent version of KMyMoney, but it seems, that I was wrong. With src2pkg I was able to compile AqBanking and Gwenhyfwar:
Code:
# src2pkg -e
'--with-openssl-includes=/usr/include
--with-openssl-libs=/usr/lib64
--with-qt4-includes=/usr/lib64/qt/include
--with-qt4-libs=/usr/lib64/qt/lib'
Then I used the SlackBuild script from SlackBuilds.org, modified the version to 4.5.3 and started it with ARCH=x86_64. Compilation ran through smooth, and I installed the package. However, HBCI support is disabled.
After some web research I came to the conclusion, that the KBanking module is still needed. So I grabbed it from the original source. Unfortunately I can't properly compile this one. Although I installed KDE3 and Qt3 compatibility packages from Slackware64-13.1 I get:
Code:
checking for Qt... configure:
error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0)
(headers and libraries) not found.
check your installation!
Has anyone managed to get through the whole process and to activate HBCI support in KMyMoney?

Slackware :: KVM Command Not Found Though QEMU Works Fine Slackware64 13.1 Multilib
Aug 17, 2010I've been trying to get some kind of virtualisation solution for my Slackware64, and I'd been having an absolute nightmare trying to get virtualbox to work on my Slackware64 install, so I decided to ditch it and move to KVM instead, as a type 1 hypervisor, having had success with QEMU in the past. I installed qemu-kvm along with all the dependencies using sbopkg, and I didn't have any problems building it, nor creating a user for kvm, or anything of that sort. However, now if I try to open a .iso on a disk image I created using qemu:
Code:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu.qcow 4G
Which I am then easily able to access with qemu using the following command:
Code:
qemu ubuntu.qcow -cdrom /ISO/ubuntu-8.10-dvd-i386.iso -m 256 &
(I have an old ubuntu 8.10.iso on my PC that I used just to see if the thing would work) This works just as expected. However, if I try to launch the same .iso using kvm
Code:
kvm -hda ubuntu.qcow -cdrom /ISO/ubuntu-8.10-dvd-i386.iso -m 256 -boot -d &
all I get is "bash: command not found: kvm" I have already loaded the following modules: kvm, kvm-intel, tun. Could I be missing something?
[edit] Also just noticed that though I have created a group for kvm and added myself to libvirt, but when I issue the command "groups" neither of them are there, though I did use:
Code:
groupadd -g 221 kvm
And I was under the impression that I just needed to add my user to libvirt, without needing to manually create the group itself.I may have misunderstood the procedure for installing this properly, but I'm not sure what I've done wrong.
