Ubuntu :: Packages Needed For Compiling Module?

May 24, 2011

A friend is running Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop that uses the Ralink RT5390 chip for wifi which requires compiling and adding a module. My plan is to...

1. download on my 10.04 laptop whatever .dpkg packages are needed to compile a new module,

2. meet at a location that has a good wifi (just in case),

3. connect the two laptops with a cross-over Ethernet cable,

4. download and install the compiling tools + module source on her laptop, I need to know three things:

1. Which Ubuntu packages must I download to be able to compile a new module? Is "build-essential" enough?

2. Where can I find those packages as .dpkg, so I can install from those offline files instead of fetching them from the Net?

3. To get an Ethernet connection going between the two laptops, do I need to do anything extra on her laptop besides assigning it an IP manually that is in the same range as my laptop?

Ubuntu Installation :: Packages Needed For Compiling Module?

May 24, 2011

A friend is running Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop that uses the Ralink RT5390 chip for wifi which requires compiling and adding a module. My plan is to...

1. download on my 10.04 laptop whatever .dpkg packages are needed to compile a new module,
2. meet at a location that has a good wifi (just in case),
3. connect the two laptops with a cross-over Ethernet cable,
4. download and install the compiling tools + module source on her laptop, and
5. cross my fingers.

So I need to know three things:

1. Which Ubuntu packages must I download to be able to compile a new module? Is "build-essential" enough?

2. Where can I find those packages as .dpkg, so I can install from those offline files instead of fetching them from the Net?

3. To get an Ethernet connection going between the two laptops, do I need to do anything extra on her laptop besides assigning it an IP manually that is in the same range as my laptop?

Fedora :: Get The Message " Gnome 3 Could Not Load " And Installed All The Packages Needed To Install Guest Additions?

Jul 14, 2011

Whenever I boot up Fedora 15 on Virtual Box, I get the message " gnome 3 could not load " and I installed all the packages needed to install Guest Additions, but even when I mounted the file, the ONLY file I could find online that was VMBoxGuestAdditions.iso or something like that, I mounted it, I tried installing, but nope, it gives me an error message that it can't. I have the latest version of VirtualBox and I've been on several forums and looked at many places but I can't fix it. I also have a problem where when I boot it up it says " the system is optimized to support 32 bit but it is currently 64 bit go here and click this to fix it " or something like that. and I can't figure out how to fix it in Virtual Box.

Slackware :: Static Libraries - Why Aren't They Shipped In Official Slackware Packages

Aug 12, 2010

I noticed that the official Slackware packages don't contain static libraries. The SlackBuild scripts from slackbuilds.org or from Slackware DVD usually contain --disable-static option to prevent building the .a file. And if configure script doesn't allow such option, the .a file is deleted before the package is created.I am wondering what is the reason for that? Is it just the matter of conserving disk space? Are there also other reasons?

Slackware :: "filesystems Support" Needed For Minimal Kernel Build?

Mar 21, 2011

I am building a minimized 6.2.2 linux kernel using slackware on a dinosaur of a computer: AMD Athlon +1700 Single Core processor, 1gig of DDR SDRAM. This is my first time compiling a linux kernel, so before I make any major mistakes, I could use some help in determining which filesystems I absolutely must enable support for. Ext2 is allready in.

Slackware :: How To Save Needed Modules Config To Create .config?

Apr 9, 2011

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)

Slackware :: Missing Lua In Dev Packages?

Sep 30, 2010

just curious if there was some discussion about reasons (not)-including Lua in stock Slackware packages ? IMHO it perfectly fits to distro's KISS philosophy, is very small and packaging maintenance is very easy (only glibc dependency, simple compilation and installation proces). Slackware contains programming language implementations of Common Lisp, Guile Scheme, Ada 95 which I find more exotic then Lua in these days. I know there are some histroical reasons and keeping continuity but anyway ...

Slackware :: Using Packages Built For 13.0 With 13.1

Since there aren't many available third party packages for slackware 13.1 yet, is it safe to install packages built for slackware 13.0? For example I need to install openoffice and skype and the latest packages i could find are built for 13.0.

Slackware :: Short Downloadscript For Packages

Apr 28, 2011

I'm using a short script when I download the Slackware-(current) packages.

Since it works for me I want to share it. I've added a configurationfile, so anyone can adapt it to his/her requirements.

Note: I don't want to prevent anyone from buying the official DVD, but maybe you'll find it usefull to download the packages when performing a fresh install of current.

Advantage of the script is that one has less downloadsize and one can exclude package-series from downloading (in the conf-file).

Here is the configfile, it has to be saved as "getslack.conf" in the same directory as the script.

Code:

For the installation I use the bootable usb-image or create a minimal install-CD (CD1 without any packages) like here ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackwar...nux/README.TXT explained.

I'm compiling the BlueZ packages on Slackware64-13.0 and bluez.Slackbuild failed to run. I added

mkdir -p $PKG/lib/udev

immediately before

Code:

cp -a scripts/bluetooth_serial $PKG/lib/udev/bluetooth_serial || exit 1

and now the script runs.I don't know why the /lib/udev directory isn't created earlier in the build process for me, but now it builds cleanly.

Slackware :: Exotic Fonts Packages?

Jun 25, 2011

I'm trying to identify - and eventually uninstall - exotic fonts packages, but unfortunately, the package names in the X group - as well as their descriptions - are not always very helpful.

I'd like to uninstall every font that's not needed to write in either french, german or english, that is: arab, asian, greek and cyrillic fonts, plus the odd exotic font I haven't thought of.

The reason I'm doing this is not some sort of xenophobia on my behalf, but the simple fact that the LibreOffice font selector is quite crowded when all the font packages are installed. Since the desktops I install are primarily used by folks who freshly migrate from Microsoft windows, I've found that a mix of standard latin fonts plus the webfonts (XP + Vista) fonts package from SBo is the most popular solution. At least, that's what I did until now when installing other Linux distributions.

Slackware :: Keep 3rd Party Packages Updated?

Feb 27, 2011

I am using SBOpkg, but for the ~30 3rd party packages I have most of the slackbuilds are already out of date, and I don't expect they will be updated when security issues or whatever arise.

So is the only solution to subscribe to the individual mailing list for each piece of software, or is there a more automatic way?

Slackware :: Installing Packages (bittornado) In /usr Dir?

May 13, 2010

I installed Slackware 13 last night and have been trying to get bittornado to properly work. Some background info, I have my partitions set up as follows:

Partition 1: /
Partition 2: /usr/local
Partition 3: /home
Partition 4: swap

I unzipped the tar.gz file and made a package using makepkg, and then installed it. Afterwords, trying to run "btlaunchmanycurses" or "btlaunchmanycurses.py" doesn't do anything. Further examining shows me that it installed the package to my / directory. Shouldn't packages be installed somewhere in my /usr dir? I'm new to linux, I spent some time with it a couple years ago but haven't done anything since.
