This gets better and better. First I find out the branded version of Firefox can't do a right click "save page as" (although it can with CTRL-S), now I discover it can't download TweetDeck from that program's Web site. Click on the button to download TweetDeck, it says "Installing TweetDeck" but nothing happens.
I'm going to dropkick the branded Firefox to the curb and install the regular Mozilla version. It's more up to date anyway. I ran the Mozilla version for some time on 11.0 until I installed 11.3 the other day, so I'll live without "integration" that doesn't work worth a ****.

i can normally adjust the back light settings of my lap top by pressing fn and the up and down aarows. I am using the default xorg server without using xorgconfig in slackware, and it works perfect so far dispite this slight problem. When i do, do that key combo, (in kde) it does display the the meter of brightness, but i can't move the settings. I believe this may be an x issue, but not sure.

I am going to buy new hardware for our server. I would like to ask your suggestions about what kind of server is the best choice for slackware. (13.1 32bit) I think about the Lenovo ThinkServer RD120. It seems to be a good choice but I don't have any experience with server hardwares. I use for my servers classic PCs with AMD Athlon and Intel Core2Duo. Once I installed a HP ProLiant With IntelXeon but thats all. Do anybody have experience with the Lenovo ThinkServers especially the RD120? Or do anybody know about some better model in the same category?

Recently I have upgraded to Slackware-current (13.37.0) (fresh and full installation). In Slackware-13.0 I used the following command to bring up the ADSL connection: `ifconfig eth0 down; pppoe-start /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf' But in Slackware-current with the above command I cannot get name resolution from the server. So after searching and some trial and error I noticed that to bring up the ADSL connection in Slackware-current I have to invoke `pppoe-start' twice as follows:
`ifconfig eth0 down; pppoe-start /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf'
`pppoe-start /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf.ORG'
where `pppoe.conf' is linked to `pppoe.conf.ORG'

I'm trying to find a VNC server for Slackware 13.1. I was searching around a little and I found that there are quite many. The most popular for slackware were tightVNC, x11vnc. I think in Slackware 13.1 is by default installed the libvnc but I can't find documentation on how to configure it.

I got a new-old notebook from ebay, a sony vaio vgn-tt11. it is working really great with slackware and I can recommend it to everyone whose thinkpad got stolen ;-)I am trying to optimize everything I can and one thing is bothering me although I might be wrong about this. "top" is showing X server taking between 4-7% of the cpu even when I am not doing anything (no apps with running in the background). I remember that x server on the thinkpad did use much less cpu. but I checked that on thinkpad at least two years ago.
4-7% is (not) much and I would like to hear whether your X server is taking any cpu power and how much. do you have any ideas how to improve this or is this something I have to live with? I am using vanilla slackware 13.1, gnome slackbuild and kernel 2.6.38. I tried playing with Xorg.conf but it did not help at all. I activated "composite" extension through xorg.conf but nothing changed.
Code:
# lspci | grep -iE '(vga|display)'

I'm an experienced PC technician running a slackware 13.1 distro on a server at home. I've currently got 2x 1TB drives in the box allocated as raid1 for the OS and everything I want to run on the machine. I'd like to think my question/needs are fairly straight forward, I am buying 2x 2TB drives to add to this machine as it serves as a NAS box for one of its roles. I'd like these in raid0 as the data that would be going on it is not that important to me. The question is, after adding the new drives to the system, once I boot up, what do I need to do to the system to get the drives added and working sucessfully as a single raid0 volume that I can then samba share out to my network. To clarify, I understand a little of mdadm as I've used it to raid1 my existing setup when I installed, and I'm fine with the samba bit after.

I followed this tutorial trying to set up proftpd. I'm using Slackware 13.1, but I had assumed most of the tutorial was all relevant still.Using the default proftpd.conf file, I was able to do anonymous login, but I was hoping to use the conf file in the tutorial to only allow certain users, so it currently looks like this:Quote:
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.
AllowOverwrite on
AuthAliasOnly off

I make no claims to be an expert. I am however a long time Slackware user, and have noticed a few posts concerning the ins and outs of previous how-to's on the same subject that are now outdated.
Keep in mind I take no responsibility for any damages to data, hardware, time, or liquor cabinets. Use at your own risk! So..
How to Install VMware Server on Slackware host
This is assuming you have a fresh full install of Slackware 13, I will be doing this install on a 64bit os, but the steps are relative and will also work on a 32.
STEP ONE- You are going to need pam to successfully authenticate on the web interface later, so take care of that first. There are a few different ways to go about this especially if you are on a 32bit install.
32BIT - You may go ahead and download the Linux-PAM package from a slacky repository.
[url]
OR - Of course you could build linux-pam from source, but I would recommend using src2pkg as it is easy, and outputs a tgz that you may install with installpkg. As I dont want to ramble forever Src2Pkg is the home to get it if you do not already have it. Once it is installed.....
cd /usr/src
Code:
These switches will delete the temporary files used during the creation of our package, and drop its output into our current directory.
Code:
Once that is done (as we wont really be using this file right now.) mv /etc/pam.d /etc/pam.ds
But we do need a pam.d directory for Vmware mkdir /etc/pam.d
We are now ready to install Vmware Server
STEP TWO- If you have not done so already, it is time to download the vmware archive. This requires signing up on their website, and it will provide you keys after email activation.
Now that we have the file, extract it
Code:
As slackware now contains an /etc/rc.d/init.d, vmware's installer will detect all the correct directories to drop files into. That includes autostart on reboot. Default's should be fine for everything in the main installer.
-PAUSE AT THE "run vmware-config.pl now?"
It is important to note, that if you are using 64 bit you will need to use a patch to fix a couple of modules. So when you get to the part where it asks to run vmware-config.pl now? Tell it "no" if you are 64bit. Yes should work for 32bit fine, and continue to creating virtual network devices, and input of serial number.
32Bit users, your adventure should be over. At this point you should be able to open a browser, point it at the machines lan ip address, external ip address, or localhost on port 8222. If you have problems and you did not run networkconfig during slackware setup, run it now, reboot and you should be fine. Sometimes fine tuning of /etc/hosts is needed depending on your network situation. 64Bit ... Sorry to say yes, we have to repair something before we can continue
First obtain the patch files from [url] once you have them, in the same directory they are located (even /usr/src is fine)
Code:
After this has finished patching, you may run vmware-config.pl to continue your installation.
Code:
If you have any error's check your /var/log/vmware directory, also make sure your /etc/hosts is valid.

I am trying to run a minecraft server from my slackware machine, but i am having an issue.The port for minecraft (25565) is open on my router, but it is reported as closed by all the open port check tools. I noticed that the same was happening for my VNC server. the port reports itself as closed until i actually open the vnc server software. for examplei check the vnc port (5900) when the vnc software is not running, and it is reported as closed. nmap localhost gives the following:

Not shown: 993 closed ports

On the latest slackware (or any i've tried) I've tried removing the --disable-sldap etc from the slackbuild and rebuilding the package to get the server binary. However it never builds, and browsing the tgz package shows it as empty.

the Akonadi server won't start correctly on KDE startup. I've not found the 100%-working solution for this problem yet. It seems like many Slackware users just remove the akonadi package Unfortunately, I don't have the access to my Slackware box right now, Here is what I've tried to do so far: 1) Make the mysql daemon executable:
[code]...
After doing those steps the Akonadi server still shows a window with errors on startup. As far as I remember the ~/.xsession-errors file contains an error like "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /home/alexander/<some path that I forget, sorry>/mysql.socket.

I am searching for a way to broadcast a simple message from a server to the other machines (clients) on my local network every day at 22:30 (10:30pm) to warn users that the server will shutdown in 30 minutes (energy saving strategy). Basically, I was thinking to add a cron entry ion the server crontab to do so. before I go ahead with that, I tried several ways to accomplish this action. Then I tried simply "wall" and got a text promt to type in my message. At the end I pressed CTRL+D and got a popup displaying my message. So it worked but it was on the server's monitor. How can I send this message to a remote machine? Is wall the proper command to do so?
I also tried using paswordless ssh..It doesnt work. Basically I can login on the remote machine using passwordless ssh but when I issue either kdialog or xmessage, I get error "cannot connect to X server on diaplay 0:0" (or something similar).I tried also ssh 'wall 'message'' but it also says "cannot connect to X server on diaplay 0:0"So far I have several ways but nothing really works..There must be a real way to to that?All machines are Slackware 13.1 based.
