Slackware :: FF 3.6.4 -> FF 3.6.6 Then Flashplayer Stopped Working?
Jun 30, 2010Yesterday I used slackupdate.sh [0.7.3] from darklinux.net to update Slackware 13.1, 32 bit version. I got Firefox 3.6.6, installed it, moved the libflashplayer.so to the new plugins directory. Now I can't play utube videos. about: plugins says that flashplayer is installed and working. Grabbed flash from Adobe website, overwrote the existing one, still no joy. Asked in the Firefox user forum. Answer 'same thing happen to me -- Windows Vista' ...I'm not an advanced user. So, is this a Slackware problem, an Adobe problem, or a Firefox problem? I'm asking here because y'all are more likely to point me to a solution. I've always been able to grab the Linux version of Flash from Adobe website and install it

Oct 22, 2010I'm on Firefox 3.6.11 with Flash 10.2 d161 on Slackware 13.1 32-bit. Hulu stopped working sometime this past week. (Actually when it stopped working I was still on the previous versions of Firefox and Flash - I upgraded 3.6.10 to 3.6.11 to see if it would help.) Worked fine before that. I've tried Firefox safe-mode, disabling add-ons and using default theme and none of this matters. Flash works fine and Hulu worked fine before a week ago.

Oct 29, 2010I have 13.0 64 with alien's multilib packages.
Adobe Acrobat has stopped working. If I try it from the command line I get
Quote:

I have tried re-installing but there is no difference and the file is clearly there. Is it possible a recent upgrade of a slackware patch might have caused this?
Slackware :: Flash Mysteriously Stopped Working
Feb 16, 2010With Firefox 3.6 from the official repository, and the flash-player-plugin from Slacky.eu installed here. It's worked fine up until now, where websites either claim it's not installed, or show a blank box instead.NoScript is installed on my Firefox, but given that on fully trusted pages (of which there are very few) it still happens, and nothing else blocks Flash besides AdBlock and Firefox's own settings (both checked too) I suspect the plugin.I also tried downloading direct from Adobe, and plonking the libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib / mozilla/plugins and making a backup of the original one (The one provided from Slacky's package) but to no avail.So it seems to be the plugin, but for inexplicable reasons.Would anyone happen to be able to explicate this inexplicability?

Jul 10, 2011Setting up my slackware system for prime use, i downloaded robby's xfce 4.8 package and upgraded xfce 4.6. Later i downloaded slackpkg and upgraded all my packages for the first time. When i did a restart, xfce 4.8 had gone back to xfce 4.6. I just went back to the directory where i was storing all the xfce 4.8 files and did the upgrade again, it worked; now for some reason though my terminal emulator no longer works, as regular user and root. I get an eroor saying, failed to execute terminal emulator. Input/output error.

Nov 25, 2010I'm running Slack 12 on a Thinkpad T60 and my wireless has stopped connecting to my wireless network at home. I'm using wicd for network management and it was working up until yesterday. I don't know what to do to track down the problem, so I'm looking for advice to do so.Other wireless devices in the house can still connect, so I don't believe my router is the problem.

Mar 29, 2010When I installed slackare 13 it detected usb drives and cameras automaticallyow it doesn't. I am runnning a 13.0 system, not current, so I have only applied the updates in that branch (iirc including a new kernel).nowadays when i plug a device in it does not seem to be detected by HAL (i.e not in KDE).However the device is listed if you use the command "lsusb" and the computer obviously knows it has been plugged in as there is a relevant entry in dmesg.Sorry for the generallised nature of the post, but I don't really know anything about HAL or how it can have stopped working

Sep 30, 2010I have had my computer set to dual boot Windows 7 for months now with no issue. Now today when I logged on to Slackware (13.1 x86_64) it suddenly stopped recognizing that my Windows 7 drive has anything on it. Fdisk cannot see any partitions anymore. Yet I can reboot the computer and run Windows 7 off it just fine. The windows drive should be /dev/sdb with sdb1 being its system reserved partition and sdb2 being the actual Windows partition.
Dmesg sees that it is there like my other drives, but it appears that the Windows 7 partition is not unaccessable to anything in Linux.
How could this work yesterday yet today it doesn't? I didn't change anything.
Slackware :: VirtualBox Stopped Working For Non Root User After Updates
Oct 21, 2010I haven't used my VB for a few weeks however all of a sudden it refuses to work for my normal non-root user. It's almost as if it can't find libraries in the /opt/VirtualBox directory. Initially it refused to start completely so I linked the required libs into /usr/lib64 ( yip real hack. Then it started but a vm would not start, and comes up with an error about a missing lib again which is definitely there. My non-root user is in the vb group and nothing besides system updates has changed. vb 3.2.10 slack64-current.

Slackware :: Printing Document - Printer Had Been "stopped"
Jun 20, 2010If there has been one consistent, recurring problem over the years it has been printing. I went to print a document, but it never made it to the printer. I looked at the HP device manager and the file was in the queue, but with the notation that the printer had been "stopped." I checked the setup up with localhost:631 and everything appears to be correct. User name is in the lp group. I then removed the current CUPS package and installed the one from Slackware64-13.
Doing that solved an earlier problem with one of the newer version of CUPS. This time the document made it to the printer, but each line overlapped itself and the whole thing fit into the space of about 6 lines. Just for chuckles I saved a copy of the document to the windows partition, booted over to XP, fired up OpenOffice for windows and the same document printed out perfectly.

Slackware :: 13.1 - Samsung Printer (ML-2251NP) Not Working Correctly
May 26, 2010My printer, a Samsung ML-2251NP is not working correctly with Slackware 64 13.1. On Slackware64 13.0 it worked flawlessly, but now everytime I print it is just solid black on the whole page. I usually selected either the ML-2250 driver or the ML-2551N driver and it worked, but now I have this problem with both of them. I print a lot, so I need a working printer. It works fine in Windows 7. This is a network attached printer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: USB Headset - Volume Control On Them Stopped Working - Sound Works - Microphone Doesn't
Oct 29, 2010When I started using Slackware I've been using USB headset. Everything ran perfectly fine. They got recognized, I could use all of it's functions and so on. Unfortunately volume control on them stopped working so I had to service them, and like in every third world country, yay I need to wait minimum three weeks just so they can press a button and say "Yup, they don't work".
I bought normal headset to use them while other one is getting fixed, and didn't expect any problems with them considering they are "old" technology, normal audio input and output.
Now problem is following, sound works fine but microphone doesn't. Once I managed to "fix" it by switching audio input from mic to something else and then back to mic, now even that doesn't work. Another... "problem" is if I leave my USB webcam plugged in while booting computer, there is no sound at all, ether on line ones or USB ones but I can easily solve that problem by unplugging webcam, rebooting and plugging it back in later.
Now everything ran fine until my computer shutdown while I was sleeping. Don't know why, but it started happening recently, don't see anything smart in logs so I assume its... something, read it could be cache, HDD, temperature and so on but since logs don't write down anything smart... will deal with it some other time.
When I talk I can actually hear myself on the headset, which probably means that they work. If I put mic boost all the way up, I can hear myself perfectly clear, but somehow... seems that that information just doesn't get to Slackware, well it gets somewhat considering that it reacts to me adjusting mic boost on KMix, but everything else... no.
Arecord doesn't record anything, TS register as microphone isn't plugged in at all, skype doesn't get any input ether.

Ubuntu :: Sound Stopped Working After Upgraded Wine To 1.3.20
May 17, 2011I ended up upgrading my wine version to 1.3.20 before it was released to the PPA repos. I downloaded it via git, compiled & installed, but now it did not detect my drivers anymore. It even warned me when i ./configure'd it, but I didn't listen. I tried, also, remove purge all wine packages I own and reinstall them from Ubuntu, but the dud 1.3.20 version is still installed. Is there a way to bring the sound back? Or, is there a way to revert this installation and make me able to install 1.3.19 back?
The following message appears when I access the "Audio" tab @ winecfg:
Code:

Slackware :: Slackware 13 Printer Setup
May 4, 2010I only see two options in KDE. System settings which shows nothing relating to printing and Office Org printer administration.In the latter Office org printer admin shows "generic printer"..My printer is HP 5P. and I choose the option 5P/MP.Then next step asks me to: enter a command line for the appropriate device. I don't know what the appropriate command is. Can anyone help I leave it empty and click next. It shows the 5P/MP is now listed along with generic. I make it default and send a print command resulting in "error while printing".

- You will find that deleting:
/var/cache/hald/fdi-cache
(and of course: /etc/rc.d/rc.hald restart)
- will allow hald to start the correct module:
/usr/libexec/hald-addon-input
- instead of trying to start a non-existant file:
/usr/libexec/hald-addon-keyboard
My theory is that since hald is the same version in 12.2 and 13.0, had believed that the cache file held valid information, when in fact it did not. I did not think to check the modification date before deleting the file.

I'm not real sure what's going on.
