Slackware :: Upgrading From Alternate Source (No Internet Connection)

May 1, 2011

Is it possible to upgrade a Slackware installation from a freshly d-loaded DVD? How would one go about this? Would the procedures in the Upgrade.txt work? I would assume they would need to be modified a bit, though, since I'm only upgrading the same version of Slackware. I'm not going from say 13.1 to 13.37. I just want to update a 13.37 current that I installed about three weeks ago to the now final release 13.37. If I could get my silly Trendnet TEW 423IP wireless PCI card to work in Slack, I could upgrade the normal way with Slackpkg.

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 Alternate Command Line Install Without Internet Connection?

Aug 5, 2011

is there any way to do a 11.04 Alternate Command Line Install without Internet Connection? I try to install Ubuntu on a Internet-Tablet, wich has no Ethernet-Port and I don't know how to get Wifi to work during Alternate-Install. At previous Ubuntu versions it was possible to let network be unconfigured and install completely from CD or USB-Stick. Isn't this possible in current versions?

Ubuntu :: After Upgrading - 10.04 - Internet Connection Is Very Slow

Jul 5, 2010

After upgrading, my internet connection is very, very slow. Some sites pop up like always, but most take a very long time to load. Some as much as 3 to 5 minutes for a site that should just "pop" up.

It is not the internet connection, if I boot into windoze it is as fast as ever and I have a quite fast connection. It has just started this with the upgrade.

Ubuntu :: Upgrading 8.04 To 10.04 Using Alternate CD?

Dec 13, 2010

Unfortunately my modem died and my alternative modem is not recognized in 8.04 so I can't do a normal upgrade.

It's my understanding that I can use the alternate CD to do the upgrade, but can't find information

I've got the alternate ISO (32 bit) burned on CD and booted from it (on a Windows laptop) but don't see an option except possibly 'rescue a broken system'.

Ubuntu Installation :: Beware Upgrading To 10.04 From I386 Alternate CD

Apr 30, 2010

Halfway through upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 (i386 desktop) using the Alternate CD, you are prompted to insert "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)".Luckily, I'd already burnt a full installation CD so swapped this and the run continued for a moment. It then asked for the Alternate CD again (20100427.1).If you haven't got a full install CD handy before you start, you may not be able to complete the upgrade.

General :: Slackware Internet Connection W/ Intel 6050 Link Wifi/wimax Card

Feb 20, 2011

I'm a Linux newbie. Used to use Ubuntu, but I switched to Slackware because I want to learn how Linux works better.

On my Samsung qx410 laptop, I can't connect to the internet. I went to the System Settings -> Network Settings and all the tabs there, but it wouldn't detect any connection, wireless nor wired.

I noticed that the kernel of Slackware 13.1 is out of date, so I tried compiling a newer one, but I couldn't get that to work.

I tried downloading this file: iwlwifi-6050-ucode-41.28.5.1.tgz but even after reading the readme, I had no clue how to go about installing it or even whether it was the right thing to install in the first place.

How can I get my internet working?

Slackware :: Use Alternate Kernel From USB Stick Boot Prompt?

May 14, 2010

After using slackpkg to update to -current on a new slack(32) install I was greeted with kernel panic "can't mount root fs" on reboot.

It was looking in the wrong place. I thought I answered yes and slackpkg would run lilo for me when it was done with the upgrade but perhaps I misunderstood.

I had my handy dandy USB boot stick so I set the bios and booted from USB. OK fine, I pointed to the correct location (hda1) and voila.

a 64bit kernel... The machine in question is a 2004 vintage celeron notebook

To my question: Is there a way I can point the loader to another kernel?

One last piece of the puzzle, the dvd drive is bad and I don't (yet) have a PXE server or even another linux box.

Slackware :: Building Packages, Not Running An Alternate Operating System Or A Service Such As Ssh?

Mar 25, 2011

I have been playing with chroot to build packages.I am wondering about the limits or caveats of using chroot to mix operating systems. For example, what should I beware if I use 12.2 and chroot a 13.1 system? Or if I use 13.1 and chroot a 12.2 system? After all, the chroot does inherit some attributes of the parent system.There is the noticeable difference of kernel versions. For that one reason I'm thinking that mixing system versions might be frustrating.

My focus is building packages, not running an alternate operating system or a service such as ssh. I realize that building packages as root in a chroot potentially compromises security but that is not my focus.I am aware that a chroot is not a true virtual system.A virtual machine is an option, but in this thread I'm curious about the limitations of chroot. I find building packages in my virtual machines much slower than actual hardware, even with a dual core. Hence my interest in chroot

Ubuntu :: Manually Upgrading - How To Change Source Of Kernel

Apr 10, 2011

I haven't used Linux very much, so I'm not sure how to do this. I'm presently running the 2.6.24-26 version of the Linux kernel on Ubuntu. However, I need to upgrade to 2.6.32. I have the source files (arch, block, firmware, drivers, kernel, include, etc), but I have no idea how to change the source of the kernel, or if there's an easier/automatic way to do this, and I specifically need the 2.6.32 version.

Software :: Upgrading / Installing OpenSSL 1.0.0d From Source On CentOS 5.5

Jun 26, 2011

I find my self abit stuck upgrading OpenSSL to the latest version. The situation is that i've been running LAMP servers just fine by installing the web services from the repositories AND the web services from source. However im now in the process of making a PCI-DSS compliant server LAMP server. I've just had the vulnerability scan report back and its failed due to the OpenSSL having vulnerabilities and it tells me I must upgraded to version higher 1.0.0d.

I've basically spent hours and hours trying to get this working along with research but I dont seem to be having much luck with this one

Im using a fresh install of CentOS and trying to create a RPM using the source code and rpmbuild, I read this was the best way I read, and this is my first time using rpmbuild.

Code:
yum -y install rpm-build make gcc gcc-c++ perl mlocate
cd /usr/src/
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
updatedb
tar -zxf openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz openssl.spec

Slackware :: Graphics Not Loading After Upgrading To Slackware-Current

I've upgraded Slackware-13.1 I had installed to Slackware-Current using a local tree I had download with mirror-slackware-current.sh script, but when I rebooted I could not get the graphics to load. I think it's because I've also modified /etc/groups and add an username after audio: and video: group, but I forgot that and had to remove slackware from the machine.

Networking :: Use The Laptop With The Wireless Connection To Share The Internet Connection?

Feb 4, 2010

I have two linux laptops. Currently, I'm using both of them at work, side-by-side. Now the problem is, I'm connected to a wireless router, but the wireless only works on one of the laptops. So I'm stuck with one laptop that has no access to the internet. Both machines do, however, have working ethernet nic cards. So, I was wondering if I could use the laptop with the wireless connection to share the internet connection with my other linux machine and access the internet on both of them. Or as an alternative, just use the internet on the machine without wireless and be able to switch back and forth, that would increase my productivity like 30 fold.

OpenSUSE Network :: Masquerad Internet Using Knetwork Manager - Share The Internet Connection To A Desktop

Jul 5, 2011

OpenSuse 11.4 Asus Netbook 1000H Following other members in the forums I have installed Opensuse 11.4 on the Netbook. In the early days Ubuntu Netbook Remix worked well for me. But this has been discarded, and the "one size fits all" Ubuntu had become slow and cumbersome. So..... onto my post. Opensuse is working well. The install went beautifully.

It detected the Wireless Internet and I am able to get on line. I also need to share the Internet connection to a desktop. This is done via a small network switch. Thus far I cannot do this. I tried to use ifup to configure a static ip but this busted my Wireless configuration. I went back to knetwork manager. Then I tried to set up the wired network using knetwork manager and under IPV4 "share" the connection. But this blanks out any possiblity of a static address and substitutes dhcp. My desktop cannot ping the this dhcp address. Ubuntu had this thing called Firestarter? - from memory. This configured the system to sharing the network.
