Trying to run Sauerbraten and Frozen-Bubble on Slackware 13.1 - I get sauerbraten:
Code:
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.2
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.43
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
frozen-bubble:
Code:
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.2
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.43
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
I've tried recompiling the libpng 1.4.2 package with the ln -sf libpng.so.3 libpng.so.0 uncommented from the Slackbuild script, and recompiled gd, and still haven't had any success.
Seems like I'm having a problem with libpng. I've created a simple SDL app and last night it worked perfectly. Today, I tried it out again and it gave me this error.
Code:
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.3
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.44
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
I didn't mess with anything related to libpng and I'm not sure what the problem is. I didn't even know I had libpng-1.2.44 installed. I'm not sure if this is an SDL_image problem or libpng or if it's just my path is wrong.
Judging by the big red box (Vulnerability Warning) on the libpng homepage, a security update is available.

I'm primarily trying to use kmess but have found the same problem in using kopete. A lot of the icons are missing and both applications crash. Running them both in the terminal reveals the problem:
Code:
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.37
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.4.1
in kopete:
Code:
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.1
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.43
I only have one package installed: libpng-1.4.1, although I can see that it contains both of the versions Both apps crash as a result of this error, curiously each for the opposite reason! I have tried the kmess slackbuilds from slacky.eu and slackbuilds.org, I have also tried compiling from source myself. I guess I need to force kmess to compile using the newer libpng, although I'm not really sure how to do that.
libgmp If you found slackpkg failed for this upgrade because of libgmp not found you will need to grab the gmp package and install manually. This way ought to work:

I'm trying out slim - the login replacement for gdm/kdm/xdm. I find that when I use the special supplied Slackware theme, I can't see the cycling of the session names as I repeatedly hit F1. But when I use the default theme they show up just fine. Is there some special tweak to /etc/slim.conf that will make the session names visible using the Slackware theme?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had Slim working with the latest -Current updates, but that was with a package I built before updating.
I borked my system yesterday and had to do a fresh install. Now I can't get Slim working.
I tried running the Slim SlackBuild from Slackbuilds.org, and it failed without giving any errors. I figured out that the problem was with this section:
Code:
The strip commands were failing and caused the SlackBuild to exit, so I added '|| true' to them.
Code:
Not sure why this is needed in -Current and not 13, maybe because of Bash 4.1?
Anyway, now the package builds successfully, but Slim won't start. My system just hangs at a black screen after 'Starting up X11 session manager'...Has anybody been able to get Slim working in -Current?
how to configure my customized Slim DM to overwrite the installed /etc/rc.d/rc.4 script with the one I put in my slim build from source.However, it just installs it as rc.4.new and not rc.4 why?would it be easier to instead configure the rc.4 that initially gets installed?if so, what slack pkg has the /etc/rc.d/* folder??I'm doing this with Absolute 13.0.8 install cd as its installed size is too big for my lappy hdd and it comes with both gdm and xdm and I want slim.
So, I removed many many pkgs from install iso, got it down to 370MB and only problem is after install my rc.4 is in /etc/rc.d but its named rc.4.new and there is also the original rc.4 thats my only issue

View 1 Replies View Relatedi've posted and read and been through metacity forums, and still cant find a answer to slimming down the Gnome menu. The only way i can get the list shorter (less wasted space between menu entries, going top downwards) is a certain GTK theme (LK OS-K Blue) but i dont care for the metallic theme. i have spend 6 hours tonight tweaking .gtkrc files here and there, with varying results, the spacing is really horrible and makes an otherwise good desktop look horrible.
the fonts are small, unused entries are hidden, resolution is 1600x900. it can be done via a certain Metacity theme, but x=thickness and y=thickness & Treeviews in gtkrc have either no effect, or affect the wrong widgets, scrollbars,buttons or checkboxes. etc. i have compared both themes gtkrc files side by side,too. no progress. i have been chasing this UI 'feature' for months, but now i'm getting fed up. anyone have any better / more detailed info ?

Now the weird thing: on my laptop Vlc runs without any problem. But on my desktop every movie, clip or whatever gives a tall, slim view on the left side of the application window. I really can't find any setting that might cause this.
I was trying to set up my Xfce desktop on a fresh install.
I personally dislike Xdm, which is given as the default login manager, and would prefer to use Slim instead.
It is possible to install it using the Package Search feature (it's listed under the Contrib repository), but I haven't been able to set it as the default login manager (I wasn't able to find such a setting in /etc/sysconfig).

So, upgraded and then installed slim b/c I wanted to have a nice login screen but now when logging in all I get is the background, no menu no panels no nothing, had to manually create a shortcut to firefox to get help, anyone know how to manually start the menu and/or how to fix.

I recently ordered the Alienware Aurora from Dell and upgraded the video card to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 as I noticed that Nvidia offers a 32-bit driver for download.
Then I noticed that the system comes with Windows 7 64-bit so I am assuming that this is a 64-bit system.
My bottom line question is will I have to install Slackware 13 (64 bit) or will I have to stick with the 32-bit version since the Nvidia driver is compiled for 32-bit? This is a gaming machine so obviously I want to be able to realize the full potential of the video card.
If I have a choice, what are the pros and cons? I DO NOT want Windows so I'll be disappointed if I can't install Linux!
Below is my order list from Dell:
