has anyone the same problem with bash in -current? Everytime I use the commandline completition with TAB , it adds me a space, so I always need to push the backspace to continue to complete the path.So the whole thng get's a bit unuseable.I'm using bash-4.1.010-486-1 and bash-completition-1.3-noarch

I've found what seems to be a reproducible problem with 'ash' on slackware64-current (updates to and including Jan 31st)
Open a console
ash <enter>
type 2 or more characters, doesn't matter what.
press backspace
press backspace
**seg fault**
occurs under xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal in both kde4 and xfce and on a virtual console.
I inadvertently typed the wrong path when changing my user login shell and now every time I log in I get a message stating that it can't find the shell and boots me off the system. It will then redisplay the login prompt. I'm running Ubuntu Server x64 in VMware Workstation.

Is there any reason why PyGTK is still at 2.22?
There are warnings generated when using Matplotlib (though execution can continue).
Will we likely see an upgrade before 13.37?
Well since tonight, after the upgrade to the latest current today, it was about a month I didn't upgrade, I cannot "git push" from my windows workstation (through msysgit shell)... I can pull, at least it tells me I'm up to date, but it keeps blocked on the 'push' command, returning only after a long timeout:

I've never used a 64bit system set up this way. They've been pure 64bit with everything simply in /usr/lib with no /usr/lib64. IIRC That's how Arch used to do it.
My question is, should I continue patching all these makefiles that have libdir=/usr/lib hard coded to keep a sane system? What are the side effects of not putting all the libs in /usr/lib64? These are for the sources that don't use or follow --libdir= and LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64".
Can I rm -rf /usr/lib then ln -s /usr/lib64 /usr/lib and still have things work. There are a couple of files in /usr/lib now {codecs/ crda/ libsyslinux.a rpm/ sendmail siconv/ syslinux/ terminfo/ trn/} which came from a stock install.
There are not any 32bit programs I need to run. If I did, that's what KVM is for
PS. I want some Slackware64 Swag!
Just a question out of curiosity: Is there a build-queue that can be used with sbopkg to build a complete Slackware repository from scratch?Just asking, because the 32 bit version of Slackware is suited to run on older computers by compiling for i486 architecture. I want to know if it is possible to rebuild the complete repository with optimizations for newer architectures, so that the programs can make use of the features of newer processors, like MMX, SSE and so on.

It is not possible to kill this process even with "kill -9". I have to kill the parent process which is Slack setup, so the installation is incomplete.

How does one set this thing?
I am working on getting my software packages installed on my fresh Slackware64-13.0 installation. Some (but definitely not all) of my executables are unable to be run.
I understand what PATH is for. It is for locating files, folders, executables in those directories when running from a Terminal window.
So, for example, I have just installed Cisco VPN Client for Linux, and it is the strangest thing. I should have access to this. I must not be understanding something here. Does anyone have any idea why this is not working for me? I have put in an example of what I am talking about.
I have no idea why this is not working.
The value of envar PATH for processes run by the udev system is "/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:.". If peer review (that's you!) agrees it is a poor choice how can I submit an enhancement request? The man pages do not say anything about bug reporting. Here are reasons why it is a bizarre choice:There is no /gnu/bin directory on as-installed Slackware. /usr/local/bin is empty (or very nearly empty?) on as-installed Slackware. Processes running under udev run as root; having "." in PATH is not good practice when running as root. Processes running under udev are likely to be doing "system" work so executables from the sbin directories are likely to be used. For example, udevadm itself is /sbin/udevadm. Presumably this PATH is set by udevd itself; it is not the PATH in effect when udevd is started by rc.M. AFAIK udevd's PATH is not configurable. The workaround is for processes initiated by udev to set a sane PATH for themselves, perhaps "/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin". EDIT: seen on Slackware 13.0 32 bit. EDIT2: rc.udev is run from rc.S, not rc.M as stated above

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having some problems with my CPU speed detailed here: [URL]
Basically it is restricting my computer to 800Mhz after 10-15mins for no reason. With Windows I was able to use something called Notebook Hardware control to ramp up the speed to the max of 1.73GHz. With the cpufreq applet, it won;t do anything.
Is there another program I can use to override the speed?
I use this command:
Code:
find ./ -atime +360
to figure out the files that haven't been accessed since 360 days. The command above will return results like this:
Code:
/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
/uploads/2009/08/another-file-name.ext
... etc
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
Code:
mv /uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext /old-files/uploads/2010/02/some-file-name.ext
But I want the executed command to create this path
Code:
/old-files/uploads/2010/02/
If it doesn't exist.
Java applet not loading image with relative path(e.g. images/1.jpg) but loads image with absolute path(i.e. from /root/user/images/1.jpg) . This is a problem when i want to host the applet on web server
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a program that takes a relative path as input appends it to a some path string to get the actual path.
Now all I can input is the relative path. So if I want to go one level above my input will be ../mypath.
If I know the depth of the path used internally, I can use .. as many times to go to the root directory and then give the absolute path. But suppose I do not know the depth of the directory, can I construct a relative path string such that it considers it as a relative path. One way could be to have enough .. in the path string so that I can force an absolute path for some maximum depth of path.
Is there some path string syntax that I am not aware of but can achieve this?
Experimenting with shell variables, accidentally deleted the path variable how could I return to the original path value. What kinds of problems will I have if I don't have a path variable.

Basically, my middle mouse button (button 2) wasn't being detected by mumble when I was trying to enter a ptt key. The button itself was bound to do some weird copy-paste function, so I figured maybe that's why, so I rebound it to Shift+Right arrow using xbindkeys and xvkbd. I then went into mumble and it detected this no problem, however due to the xbindkeys config, when I press the middle mouse button it only does the bound function once.... i.e. I press it, it sends Shift+Right arrow to the X serv, but then stops, which is obviously useless for a push-to-talk button.
So, really what I am asking is, how should I go about sorting this? Is xbindkeys able to translate a keypress in sync with the mouse button (i.e if I hold the mouse button, it holds down the keys bound to it) or am I going down the wrong route and there is a better way to get middle mouse as my push to talk button on mumble. Perhaps a different keybind software?
