During upgrade the system ask me what to do about config files. K to keep old ones then other options to change config files to the new system and backup old one with *.old extension and 2 other options I don't remember. What do you think is the best choice if I have changed my xorg.conf, my layout and my fonts.

My brother is thinking of installing Slackware64 13.1 on his laptop. He was wondering though how to configure his wireless card. How would he do this? He is using an Intel wireless card, but I am unsure of the exact model. Another question is would Wicd do this automatically or do you still have to use either iwconfig or wpa_supplicant and edit the corresponding config files?

By the system the card is marked as eth1. If you have a look at rc.inet1(.conf) you see that by default an eth1 has no wireless extensions. how to set up my network.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded an 11.1 install to 11.2. The upgraded system appears fully functional but I get many "all config files need .conf" warning messages during boot. See below. I also did a clean install on another system to compare and the clean install does not exhibit the same behavior so the warnings are evidently related to it being an upgrade. The system's working but I would like to understand why this is happening and clean it up. This system provides some key services to my networks and I have spent a lot of time getting this and the systems it interacts with "just right" under 11.1 and I am not particularly interested in starting over except as a last resort.

I am running a server with a GRSecurity patched Kernel 2.6.32.36. I've tried to optimize the kernel as much as I can and know it (removing options, not needed drivers and so on) and compiled the modules into the kernel (no loadable modules anymore). I've started with Slackware 13.0 and the default config for 2.6.29.6-huge. Still I am not sure what to remove/optimize further now.
My question: Is there a way to boot with a kernel with loadable modules, check which modules are really needed for this hardware, (do something like lsmod) and save the running configuration modules for a next kernel compile to be the default .config instead of writing them down by hand and search for the appropriate names in .config or during menuconfig? (Note: zcat /proc/config.gz > .config is NOT the way I want, as it gives me just the current kernel config)
I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04 with OpenSSH, trying to create an ssh tunnel (for web traffic) to it from my (also Ubuntu) laptop. This is the command I'm using to create the tunnel:

The program "qtconfig" does not load saved config on startup.
I just installed slackware-current from today's update (mirrored from ftp.slackware.com). The program "qtconfig" seems to have saved my changes to "~/.config/Trolltech.conf". However, after restarting qtconfig all options become the defaults.
I verified this in both the C locale and a UTF-8 locale.

Well, at first I need to tell that after having big problems (audio, video, modem, network,...) with my venture into slack world at about 7 years ago, I thought that even with my insistence it would be hard to get used with it.
Around the middle of December last year I decided to try again and again I had face some problems (now with fdisk and GPT support in a 64 bit machine).
But now, at about a month after that, I need to say that having passed those initial problems with installation, not only I manage to learn a lot about linux in general (dependencies, rc. editing, permissions, groups...) as I am amazing to what Slackware became.
From 3D graphics acceleration in KDE (with an easy config for my video card, something I thought it would be impossible and that makes it by far better looking than any Windows Desktop fancy try), to great programs and suites integration like Amarok, OpenOffice, Ktorrent, THE firefox, and so many others all allied with the full control of the system (no automatic updates, no mysterious packages UNLESS I really allow it) not to tell g++, python and so on.
However, besides a raid 0 non readable partition, I am having a persistent problem with my wireless that always mix my pppoe connection when I try to config it via rc.inet1 (or rc.wireless ...).To better explain my situation I have a computer with Asus P5k-e/Wifi-AP with came with an integrated wireless device (Realtek RTL8187L).Also, the way I work out to connect to the internet was through (an ethernet) pppoe connection setup using pppoe-setup.Right now it is working like a charm after pppoe-start and stop commands.
At about a month, when i was starting my first steps to config my machine, I tried to follow [URL] three times, and in two of those I manage to start my wireless, but in all it mixed up with my pppoe connection and since either pppoe-config as pppoe-setup didn't work after that (even after backup the files) I had to reinstall the whole system. (Yes, I know that probably there is an workaround easier via shell or file editing, but since every time I need to restart in the Windows, search for solution on internet, print those I find, restart, and try in slackware again, I decided that reinstalling was the fast solution for me at that time.)Now, I am a bit more confident with my knowledge of the linux and decided to try to setup wireless again.
After an extensive search in the forum, I found out two major solutions: One pointing to alienwiki (with I really think is the best approach besides my previous experience) and other pointing to the proper realtek driver at [URL]As i am yet trying to decide which method use, I download the driver and it came with an strange file (RadioPower.sh) that are called by wlan0up. Below are both files:

I have a system using a Linksys WUSB54B usb wifi adapter that needs the rt2x00/rt2500 modules. Using the fresh install kernel, 2.6.29.6-smp, the modules are there and I get my interface up.
But, when I configure my own kernel, not an smp system, I cannot find the .config option in the menu for rt2x00 network adapter support and the modules are not in /lib/modules/vmlinuz-2.6.29.6-first directory tree after a "make modules_install".
I looked through the configuration menu, but could find no reference to the rt2x00 drivers.
Anyone able to compile kernel 2.6.38.6 on Slackware 13.37 successfully using the config from testing/2.6.38.4? I was able to get .4 and .5 to compile successfully, but with .6 I get the following after running "make modules".
Code:
WARNING: modpost: Found 11 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
Running "make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y 2>&1 > outfile" gives me a bunch of WARNINGS as follows:
Code:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xe656a): Section mismatch in reference from the function build_all_zonelists() to the function .meminit.text:setup_zone_pageset.clone.56()
The function build_all_zonelists() references
the function __meminit setup_zone_pageset.clone.56().
This is often because build_all_zonelists lacks a __meminit
annotation or the annotation of setup_zone_pageset.clone.56 is wrong.....
WARNING: drivers/watchdog/nv_tco.o(.devinit.text+0x14): Section mismatch in reference from the function nv_tco_init() to the function .init.text:nv_tco_getdevice()

a function __init nv_tco_getdevice().
If nv_tco_getdevice is only used by nv_tco_init then
annotate nv_tco_getdevice with a matching annotation.
I am on up to date 64-current. Installed Alien Bob's multilib packages on top of it as well as his kde packages.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu on a partition install. It is dual-booted with my Windows 7. Anyways, everything worked fine for a while, until I pressed ctrl+alt+F2. Then it went to this weird full-screen-mode command line thing. It asked for my login so i did, and then it asked for my password, which I then entered. And then I really don't know what I did, but at the end I pressed ctrl+alt+delete, which instead of going to like a task manager, it restarted my computer.
I then booted into Ubuntu again, and it started giving me errors about how it won't update some config files, and then it won't load up like the desktop and the panels. All I see about booting is the default Ubuntu background when you login and nothing else. No panels, no icons, nothing, just the background.
I mistakenly deleted /etc/apache2/port.conf, so I tried to reinstall the package with "apt-get", but nothing. I dug myself in deeper by thinking a script skipped it because the directory was there, so I removed it completely. After reinstalling using "apt-get install apache2", the folders came back, bot non of the config files where there. I am now lost. How can I get them all back?
