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 :: Tools To Purge Unused Pkg/libs?

Jun 30, 2011

Are there some effective tools to purge the system of unused libs/pkg and other files?Till now I found localepurge (i do not remember where i found it) which does some trick, but I am sure there is a lot of other things laying around in Slack with no real reason to be there in some minimal installation.I found also unsuedpkg in google.code, but it does nothing on a fresh system.Such question won't rise if Slack team wouldn't be forgetting about Slack's significance in server segment and putting big efforts in "deskopisation" of it. I'd be happy seeing directories like xlibs/ and mm_stuff/ where all x related libs and multimedia related ehhh... files could go (I hope developers will see this message).

Slackware :: System Cluttered With Unused Files - Cleaning Out Junk

Jun 16, 2011

When you unsuccessfully try to install software, does your Slackware system become cluttered with unused files? Is there a program, other than 'slackpkg clean-system', that can review your installation and identify any useless stuff? My tmp directory is set, in fstab, to delete its contents on boot. Is the tmp directory the only directory to be concerned with?

Slackware :: Dd Cannot Read Hdd Track 0?

Can dd read cylinder 0, head 0 of the hard disk? It seems as if he can't. When I do

Code:

I think it begins with track 1 and not track 0.

Slackware :: Track Down The Cause Of An Annoying XFCE Behavior?

Jan 13, 2011

I'm using -current and XFCE 4.6.2 hasn't been playing very nice. Its menu has an odd behavior. AFAIK, XFCE's menu is automatically generated based on the .desktop files from /usr/share/applications and somewhere else when it comes to wine programs. The menu has an "Other" tab, which includes Gvim and, ever since I installed it, Civilization IV BTS.The problem is that sometimes this "other" menu just disappears after staying logged in for some time, like overnight. I was thinking that this had something to do with suspending to ram, but I don't think that's the case as I've been suspending over and over and the "other" menu just stays there.I don't know if someone else has noticed similar behavior so I'm not waiting for an answer as to what may be causing the issue. I'd like to know where I can start looking for the cause.XFCE masters, where can I start looking?

Slackware :: Track Open Source Software Updates And Releases?

May 14, 2010

I am looking for a way to track updates or changes to open source software, in other words I want automatic notification when new releases are made.

Is there any single place or easy way to do that? Again, What I am looking for is notification when, for example, firefox ver 3.1.2 is released, or when kde releases 4.4.5, k3b makes a major change, etc, etc, etc.

Anyone have any idea how I could accomplish this?

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 :: 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.

Slackware :: Dependencies While Installing Applications?

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 :: 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 -

Code:
pkgconfig/../../lib/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/gtk-sharp.dll -r:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/../../lib/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/glib-sharp.dll /r:../../gnomevfs/gnome-vfs-sharp.dll -r:Mono.GetOptions.dll ./TestXfer.cs

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:

Debian :: Delete An Unused GPG Key?

Jun 1, 2010

I recently installed an application called DeaDBeeF. I added the GPG key, as well as the repo in my sources.list file. I've decided to stick with Audacious, so I did an "apt-get autoremove deadbeef" to remove it and all of its dependencies. I also edited my sources.list file and removed the line pointing to the repo in which I got it from.

Now my question is, how should I remove the GPG key, if I don't use the repo or application anymore? I don't want an unused GPG key sitting on my Debian if I'm not using the repo anymore.

I've tried reading the man pages but I can't seem to get it. I've tried the following command but it doesn't seem to work.
sudo apt-key del http://hadret.rootnode.net/debian/duckbill.key

Ubuntu :: Get Rid Of Unused Packages?

Apr 25, 2011

I have Ubuntu Meerkat (10.10) running on an Inspiron E1505. I have it setup for dual boot with Vista. I installed Kubuntu on top of Ubuntu and now have a blue Kubuntu system loading screen where it used to be purple.

I've installed a lot of programs, most unnecessarily, so I'd now like to get rid of ALL of the unnecessary programs and associated packages or dependencies. I'd also like to get rid of KDE, and any Ubuntu packages I never use.

Is there a quick and relatively easy way to do this?

Fedora :: Clean Up Unused Packages?

Dec 6, 2009

I've been running fedora 12 for a few weeks now and I was wondering how to clean up all of my unused files. I have accumulated quite a bit of software in the form of updates and downloaded packages since starting and I can only assume these are going to continue to build. I have rpmorphan and it lists all of the programs I'm not using but I'm wary of it because it lists WINE as one I haven't used but I use it everyday to play a game. I'm afraid I'll erase something I need, but I'd like to keep my system as clean and slimmed down as possible.

CentOS 5 :: How To Format Unused Space On /dev/sda

Dec 3, 2009

I have a CentOS 5.3 x86_64 system setup as a file server, backup server, and iSCSI target. The physical machine has six hard drives, two of which (bay0 and bay1) are 1TB disks in a RAID1 mirror. Therefore, CentOS is installed on /dev/sda. My question is this: how can I format and mount the large portion of sda that's not in use right now? Here's some more info:

Disk /dev/sda: 999.6 GB, 999653638144 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121534 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

[code]...

As you can see I've got about 1TB of space on sda. However, when I look at my df -h command and my LVM management what I find is that I've got:

root / filesystem = 8GB and is under Vol00
swap = 2GB and is under Vol01
/var = 2GB and is under Vol02

Sounds like I have a ton of space on sda that I'm not using. It also looks like I'm using LVM, but I'm not familiar with LVM nor am I really comfortable with how I can use the rest of the 900+GB I have available on sda. how I can format and mount the rest of the free space on sda?
