Jan 8, 2011
i want to remove kde from my system, but i want to be able to run kde applications just in case i need one in the future.. so what do i need to uninstall to still be able to run "Kprograms"? xD

I have installed Slackware 13.1 on my workstation. I do not want anything to do with HAL or D-BUS, and the first component i found out depends on this is the X Window System. I know the version of X Window System in slackware-current does not need these components. Is it possible to use the X components from slackware-current, and all other packages from Slackware 13.1? or is there a better way?

I'm using Slackware 13 with xfce4. The problem is that I've messed something with the xfce4 and now I want to reinstall it. Does "removepkg xfce4" will do the trick ?

I installed the wrong file and now I would like to remove it. It was one of those .tar.gz files you have to install with ./configure, make, make install.I suspect files were installed all over the place.Is there a utility for removing a .tar.gz file ?

I have only used Debian and debian derivatives before. I have got few months holiday so I thought I would learn some real linux and I guess Slackware is the one most unix-like linux OS around.
I use Xfce desktop environment. So, do I have to download the DVD or CD's(how many)? And how do I install/remove software in Slackware? Is there a repository system or we have other way of dealing with packages.

For some reasons, dhcdpd wouldn't connect eth0 at startup and it takes 10 to 15 seconds of timeout. Since I don't really care because I use wifi, I would like to remove auto dhcpcd at startup but I can't fint it anywhere in /etc/rc.*.

Slackware includes gqview, a pictures viewer not maintained since 2006. Geeqie is a fork of gqview and the first stable version is out since about 1 month, and it seems to be stable and good. So what about remove gqview and add geeqie in next slackware ?

I'm using slackware 13.37 and I must say that I really like this distro and the biggest problem is the lack of dependency handling. This is something that bites you right away because you have this nice clean simple operating system but unless you really know what's dependent on what you have to install piles of stuff with lots of programs with duplicate functions. A minimal install option would be nice and I can see from some of the threads that even those with a good deal of experience have had a hard time doing a minimal install. I tried about ten times using different guides but I always ended up with something broken so now I have the full install running fine but with tons of stuff that I don't want or need including most of kde. Anyway, I don't think that the slackware people are going to change their minds about dependency handling anytime this century.
Although for those who have said that it's a FEATURE, I'd point out that all distros have this feature, JUST DON'T USE THEIR PACKAGE MANAGER! So with all that said, I think it's a shame about the lack of dependency handling but I still like slackware well enough to use it even though I find the dependency thing quite annoying. I know that there are people here that have a lot more experience than I do and maybe there are some tools that could make this business easier. So how do you go about removing programs? Debian has deborphan and Arch has pacman -Rd. When you remove a program in slackware, how do you then get rid of all the unneeded dependencies?

how to remove the '.desktop' suffix appended to my icons? I unintentionally installed the 64-bit S13.1 when I wanted the 32-bit version - anybody notice the misleading text around the hole on the DVD? The 'Slackware 13.1 (amd64)' side is the 32-bit and the 'Slackware 13.1 (1386)' side is actually the 64-bit version. It fooled me, anyway, and after finding out how limited software choice was I spat the dummy and went back to 32 :/ But...with Desktop Settings>Activity set to 'Folder View' I now have this unwanted suffix added to my icons. Also, if I'm in my home directory via Dolphin and I create new folders they also appear out on the desktop!

If I have a dnsmasq server and it dished out a IP address that I don't want it to and it still gives it to my machine no matter how many times I restart windows and issue ipconfig /renew|release or enable/disable the adapter, how do I force it to give my windows machine an IP I want it to have?
The only way I've accomplished this in the past is by rebooting my slackware system.

I replaced the trusty old aironet wireless card with a trendnet scanbus wireless card so I could secure my home wireless with wpa encryption. It uses the ath5k module, and the wireless is set up with wicd. The issue is that if I stop browsing for about 2 minutes, the next time I start to browse, it will disconnect, then reconnect no problem. I don't know if this is supposed to be a feature, but it is sure annoying. Is there a tweak somewhere to stop this? The other option would be to use ndiswrapper and use windows drivers, but I'd rather explore tweaking, if possible. If I have to use ndiswrapper, would I have to rmmod ath5k first, or would it be ok to use ndiswrapper directly?

Anyone else seeing this? I do 'safely remove' to remove USB flash drive. disappears. Five seconds (or less) later, it reappears. The second time I do 'safely remove', it stays gone.

Intending to remove jre-6u16-i586-1 and install jre-6u18-i586-1 on Slackware 13.0 32-bit, I used
Code:
slackpkg remove jre-6u16-i586-1
installpkg jre-6u18-i586-1.txz
This seems to have been the wrong way to do it because, now trying to remove jre-6u18-i586-1
Code:
removepkg jre-6u18-i586-1.txz
ls: cannot access /var/log/packages/jre-6u18-i586-1*: No such file or directory No such package: /var/log/packages/jre-6u18-i586-1.Can't remove.
ls -l /var/log/packages/jre* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35K 2010-03-09 20:28 /var/log/packages/jre-6u16-i586-1
What was wrong with what I did and how can I clean up?

Since I plugged in and then unplugged in the firewire port a video camera, I have a note in the bottom-right corner of one of the desktops. It says 'libieee1284-3".
It's not a serious problem at all, I can live with it, but if there was a way to remove this yellow square from my pretty desktop I would like to hear about it .
I tried clicking and right clicking on it; it does nothing except I can access a tiny menu with - apparently - enlarge, refresh and configure buttons. Only the configure button (a spanner) does something, it opens a "configure" box which does not have a "remove" or "delete" option. Rebooting does not remove it.

I have been given the task to install slackware 13.1 over windows. I have downloaded and copied slackware 13.1 on to a disk, and rebooted the computer, but i am not getting what all the tutorials have shown. I have been looking for tutorials that specifically instruct me as to how to install slackware 13.1 on to a windows xp. I am not trying to dual run I just simply want to run slackware and slackware only.

it's possible to compile the 2.6.37 kernel patched with the autogroup patch on a Slackware 13.1 system running 2.6.33.4-smp with 2.6.33.4 headers? I just compiled and installed the 2.6.37-autogroup kernel from AUR on my ARCH setup and I like it especially when using firefox with lots of tabs open and other background apps also running. I did notice a speed and smothness difference in my ARCH testing setup with this kernel patch and I can get same results in 13.1??
