Slackware :: Finding Instruction To Upgrade 12.1 To 13.1?
May 30, 2010
I burned the Slackware 13.1 DVD disk, and installed on a desktop, and it worked really great. Now, I would like to install 13.1 on my laptop, but my DVD-rom doesn't work. So is there any instruction for me to upgrade from slackware 12.1 (currently running)to slackware 13.1 directly, like what states in "Slackware 13.0 to 13.1 Upgrade HOWTO" ? Alternatively, is there any way that I can install slackware 13.1 from the ISO image file on my Windows partition? or I just following the instructions off this website, [URL]
Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slakware 12.0 I have plenty of files like this:
Code:
$ file 23-1.mp3 23-1.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding $
All I want to know about a file like this is the bitrate is has been created with. Can this data be inside the tag? What's a cli program that lets me know that information?

Installed new wireless modem and router. how to connect it to my Ubuntu operating system. So far I can only find a place to enter information but don't know where to find it. It asks for "SSID"-"Mode Infrastructure"-"BSSID"- "Device Mac Address "Cloned Mac Address" and "MTU Automatic". where to find this information or if I am even in the right window to setup this new modem.
Is there a way to show or count how many CPU instructions a particular process is using or uses? In my work we develop a web application and I'm responsible of maintaining the web server. The app lets you handle data online so each client that uses the web application has a folder associated to it, where his data is stored. (/var/www/html/test) for example. The idea is to get how many CPU instructions the httpd process for that particular folder is having. Is there a way to do this?
I'm reading "Understanding the Linux Kernel" and came upon this assembly instruction: movl $(__KERNEL_CS << 16), %eax I am curious as to what "<<" means/does. I tried to gooogle, but google doesn't search for "<<".
I was wondering if anyone knew of a lightweight and easy-to-configure MTA, or any other way of sending messages from a command-line environment without too much of a fuss. I would only be sending messages through a single Gmail account, and would rather not bother with all of the sendmail configuration.
Can anyone recommend a Virtual Machine that doesn't require X that I could consolidate my servers onto? I'm playing with VirtualBox but it seems to need a GUI.
i want to build server ; for blocking porn site and adult content through my netbook.can someone please give me instruction for building that server using netbook?
Anyone have the links to the upgrade repos for 11.4? Wanting to go ahead and set those up so when I get in to work in the morning I can start the upgrade.
Although I tried to upgrade from Fedora 14 to 15 using Pre-Upgrade, my system does not find Fedora 15 at the end when the Pre-up-grade sequence. On the very last step when Pre upgrade reboots my computer it just goes straight back into Fedora 14. No choices (Fedora 14 or Fedora 15 Upgrade Kernel) are shown.
I have CentOS 5.5 installed on my Dell D600. This release includes SAMBA 3.0. Question: Is there a way to use yum to upgrade / install the latest version of SAMBA (3.5.3)?
A "yum search samba" shows there is only the "samba3x" release available - which is SAMBA 3.0
I've downloaded the SAMBA3-3.5.3-43.el5.i386.rpm package for Cent OS 5 from the SAMBA.org site, but when I try to install it, it fails due to package dependencies.
Short of downloading the source and compiling it myself, is there a better method to get the latest version of SAMBA installed on my system?
The title's not especially clear, so I'll post a screenshot of what's happening. The upgrade keeps finding instances of the same kernel; the list in the terminal is constantly scrolling down, finding 'new' instances.
It's been doing this for about half an hour now. BTW, upgrading from 64bit 9.10 to 64bit 10.04.
I have recently installed the Maverick backport kernel (2.6.35 - from the lucid-updates/main repo) and while I was at it I also manually (through synaptic) got rid of some old kernels. I made sure that I kept the current Lucid kernel though (that was working fine). All seemed well (although I didn't actually check - just no errors) so I rebooted.On reboot I have lost all my Ubuntu kernel options!

Even reinstalled burg (used to use it but it got broken by a kernel update long ago and never bothered to fix it as I only use Linux these days anyway)Funny thing is that BURG finds the kernels and reports no problem, but then drops to the grub-error prompt on boot.
I am a complete noob in the Linux community, having JUST installed my first Linux distro on my PC (that being Slackware 13.37).That having been said, please be patient with my TOTAL confusion is this regard : How do I determine which version of a package I need to download (in this example, I will use Yakuake, a program I AM trying to find at the moment!). I have done searches on the internet of the type"Yakuake for Slackware", etc., and I have always found results that I believed were a link to the correct version. However, when I finally have the package downloaded (I have downloaded BOTH source packages as well as the build app.), they are always for a DIFFERENT VERSION!
This is most frustrating...; is there a "listing" of different packages that are compatible with a specific distro / version? I realize that, in many cases, I may require a newer version of a library, etc., but again, how do I determine this ahead of time, before I bother downloading the actual app. I wish to install? I can use another example - I attempted to install OpenOffice; I began by searching for OpenOffice for Slackware / KDE (as some sources indicated that Gnome was the required gui for this package...).I found a site with an install cd .iso that was supposed to be multi-platform KDE compatible, but NONE of the versions would install on Slackware 13.37... - you get my point?
I avoid capslock like the plague and use "ctrl:nocaps" when in X, and would like to have the same behaviour in the console. Back when I was using Debian I got it set up the way I want, but now I can't seem to locate the default keymap. I tried editing
After several attempts in setting up the rc.inet1.conf using alienbob's site as a guide, I'd like to see a sample of a working setup. My setup is very simple: home router and a desktop wireless, with wpa security. Using wicd is snap, but I'm tired of dropping connections; everthing worked with slack 13.0, but this 13.1 dropping wireless connection is driving me nuts, both on the desktop and the laptop.
I recently upgraded to slackware-current from Slackware 13 via slackroll, and have only encountered one problem. My file manager no longer thumbnails images, and icons (mostly PNG) aren't appearing no matter what GTK theme is set. Running from the command line produces no errors, and when brought up in something else (say feh /path/to/icon.png) it works perfectly. This is the only hitch I have encountered so far. The same thing happens with emoticons in Pidgin. Does anyone know of a fix?
All I want to do is fade some text in and out via the opacity attribute, and change the text when it hits zero. My script changes the text on time, but ignores the formatting effects. I'm not worried at this stage about the else statement in the startFadeEffect() function. I just want the fade effect to work here the way it should.
Upon installing Debian, it asked me if it can use a mirror to get updated packages. I said no, yet it ignored my command and fetched packages. Why did Debian disobey me?
Everytime I try to run app, that requires SDL, it crashes with "Illegal instruction". Actually, someone had this problem some time ago, but there is no possibility of installing fixed packages (they are just... too old!). What can I do, except of moving back to OS X?
I tried to upgrade from 12.2 to 13.1 using slackpkg but, by some reason, it did not upgrade and bash gave me error at any command I tried to use. I tried to use the boot CD but still, I couldn't use chroot. Desperately, I mounted the hdd partition into a directory and I installed all the packages from slackware/a directory (with --root /mnt/disk option). Surprisingly, I rebooted and the system successfully loaded the new kernel. Since I installed only the "slackware/a" packages, I would to know which would be the next step to fully upgrade the system. I intend to upgradepkg all the directories from dvd "slackware". Is this a good solution? If yes, which should be the next packages that should be upgraded: "slackware/l", "slackware/ap", "slackware/d" ?? I'm interested in the order of the directories that should be installed.
