Slackware :: How To Install The Slapt-geton 13.0

Apr 17, 2010I'm sitting at work and wondering if Synaptic package manager could be used with slapt-get on Slackware since it's based on apt-get anyway. I haven't researched this, but I wonder if anyone out there has. I'm thinking that Synaptic looks for .deb packages but it would be interesting if one could make it work. The Gslapt/slapt-get combo works just fine for me as far as a GUI alternative, but apparently only works with .tgz or .txz. Or does it?
It would be interesting if one could install .deb packages because it would open up a whole lot repositories to Slackware including the Ubuntu repos. Don't get me wrong, I like compiling from source but nothing drives me crazier than finding some piece of software I like that ends up needing a million Gnome dependencies. I can definitely appreciate the reasons why Gnome was dropped from Slackware!
Slackware :: Unsafe To Upgrade The Kernel With Slapt-get?
Jan 29, 2010I noticed that slapt-get excludes a lot of package titles based on aaa, glibc, and kernel. I've been wondering why, and haven't been able to find any definitive answers... Anyone here have any ideas on why that is? My Slackware installation is currently kernel 2.6.29.6 (I think) and the newest available on the official repositories is 2.6.32.5 (or something like that).
When I put in slapt-get --upgrade it spits out about 15 packages that are excluded that it won't upgrade. Now, I know I can remove the exclusions by editing the slapt-get configuration file, but I don't want to if it's going to screw something up. So my question is: Is there a reason those are excluded? Is it unsafe to upgrade the kernel with slapt-get?
Slackware :: Slapt-get Slow When Downloading / High It?

May 22, 2011I get an error when running slapt-get. The error is: "slapt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libsas.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
I've booted the Slackware disk # 1 and unchecked everything except the libraries category and installed them. I rebooted and it still says this. I get this same error before I put the disk in and rebooted to install ALL libraries. I really need help. BTW, I can't load KDE.I found a pkg manager already installed called "slackpkg". But I really need help on this library issue!! I uninstalled it (slapt-get) anyway, so forget that!

Slackware :: Enable Windows Wireless Drivers In Slackware 13.1 And How To Install XFCE
Aug 22, 2010I recently installed Slackware Linux 13.1 , and my Wireless is down. I've only installed 3 Linux disto's on my main laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 , 10.04 , and Crunchbang Linux 9.04 , just had Crunchbang), and they all had the same problem. In all three , I was able to enable Windows Wireless drivers and every thing worked. Now , I'm assuming I have to the same ting in Slackware? Sorry , but I have no idea what my wireless card is. But I know that my laptop is a Dell Insprion E1705. One last thing , I did ifconfig and that wlan0 is my Wi-Fi interface. I typed ifconfig wlan0 up to see if that was the problem. After I did that , I got and error message. Then I typed ifconfig wlan0 down to see if it was down and it made wlan0 down. I tried bringing it up again , but I got an error saying it couldn't find the device specified. Also , how do I install XFCE? I really don't like KDE for some reason and would like to install XFCE. I chose XFCE over GNOME (my favorite) because I want to try something new.

Slackware :: Install Puppy 525 On Slackware 13.37 PC As A Dual-boot Using LILO?
Jul 18, 2011I'm trying to install Puppy 525 on my Slackware 13.37 PC as a dual-boot using LILO. Puppy is living, all on it's own, in sda6, a 6 GiB partition. It got there by using the Puppy Universal Installer and selecting a 'Full' install, not a 'Frugal' install. I cannot find 'LILO' type instructions, only 'GRUB' type instructions.
Has anyone succeeded in doing a hard drive install of Puppy with the LILO boot loader?
Edit: I'll probably regret it, but I used Puppy's GRUB installer.

Slackware :: Fonts For Gnome Apps In Std Slackware Install
Jan 4, 2011I'm interested in seeing what others are doing w.r.t. fonts in a standard Slack install. The 2 main apps I use are Firefox and Thunderbird and both look fairly poor out of the box. Previously I've used a combination of gtk-qt-engine and gnome-appearance-properties ( with a gsb install ) but this doesn't always do the 'right thing'.

Jun 16, 2011The system requirements for ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux are: Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, and most RPM and DEB Linux desktop distributions. Can this be installed on Slackware? I tried the download and install. Its says that after the install you need to reboot and an 'activate' application will start - it didn't. I used ESET in my prior Windows life and it was great so I thought, why not in my linux life!

Slackware :: Can't Install Wicd-1.7.0 In Slackware 13.0 / What Got Lost?
Jan 17, 2011(Background: my wireless worked fine for a long time using wicd-1.6.2.1 and then all networks became hidden. The wicd website said there was a bug in 1.6.2.1 and to upgrade.) I obtained wicd-1.7.0.tar.bz2 from sourceforge.net. Slackware man pages recommend "installpkg <name>". I did "removepkg wicd..." and then install. Installpkg said it could not install it because it did not end in .tgz,.tbz,.tlz, or .txz. I changed the name to wicd-1.7.0.tbz(assuming that was equivalent) and did installpkg again. That gave "Verifying..., Installing..., Warning: package has not been created with 'makepkg'. Package wicd-1.7.0.tbz installed."
There is no entry for it in the Kickoff Application Launcher. There is an entry for it in /var/log/packages. There is in /etc/rc.d./rc.wicd a script marked executable. Can anyone see what got lost?

View 9 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: 3G Slackware 13 Install
Oct 10, 2009I have an old AMD K-6 350 MHz laptop with 96 MB of RAM and a 4 GB internal hard drive. I've used it for years with Slackware-I did have Slackware 11 on it with a 2.4.33 kernel before I did a fresh install of Slackware 13 and wiped the drive. I don't have the CPU power for KDE but it works nicely with the Fluxbox desktop. The problem that I'm finding now is that I don't have enough disk space even by not installing KDE-it takes 3.7 GB which is all I have and then I don't have any space left for a user.
So, I figure I'll start over and re-install Slackware 13. Which package directories don't I need just for Fluxbox, PCMCIA wireless networking, USB support and CLI mp3 support (I like mplayer which is now included)? After the install I want to install wicd from the extra directory.
