Slackware :: Transferring Slackbuild Packages To Other Computer
Sep 11, 2010
I just finished building the monodevelop package(including the dependencies). I have other computer that have the same version of slackware(ver 13.0) and I would like to install the packages I build from one computer into other computer.
My question is can I just install all the packages without regards to the order of dependencies (remember, it is already a package) or should I install the package in order? I also ask this for me to know what to do when my new laptop arrive. I would like to install all the SlackBuild packages i have on this computer and I would like to minimize, if not, eliminate the need to build the packages I have already build.

I'd like to stream from my netflix account on Slackware64, v13.1. What I've found is I should probably use "Moonlight" as it's a MS Silverlight clone for linux. Has anyone had this running before? Are there any pre-built packages or a slackbuild script somewhere?

I don't know how well slack build packages would work on Ubuntu or Debian based distributions. Dependencies will get the best of you right? Unless you are using Debian you will always have to worry about dependencies. (Will not be true all the time. The only reason I say this Is because how many packages Debian has Installed.)

I have two somewhat older computers, an HP laptop running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and a custom desktop running Debian Lenny. They are not networked, and I do not have home internet access since I recently moved to an area where broadband is not available and I have a winmodem. I am trying to upgrade the system on the laptop, but have run into a strange problem. I have downloaded a copy of the Xubuntu Karmic Koala iso from a public wifi spot onto the laptop. The laptop does not have a CD burner, so I am attempting to transfer the image to the desktop computer via a usb device. The problem is that it will not transfer accurately. The md5sum of the iso is fine on the laptop hard drive and also after I have copied it to the usb device. I unmount the usb device from the laptop, connect it to the desktop, and copy the file to the desktop hard drive, from where I hope to burn the CD. I check the md5sum and it doesn't match. What is even stranger is that if I now check the md5sum of the iso file on the usb drive, that has also changed. The size of the file in bytes remains the same, but when I ignored the md5sum and tried to burn the CD anyway, it would not run, so something is wrong. I have tried this dozens of times with a compact flash card formatted fat16, a thumb drive formatted fat32, and another thumb drive that I reformatted ext2, all with the same result. The md5sums are always different, but always wrong. What I would like to know is, do I have defective hardware, or is something else going on? I have never had a problem transferring other, smaller files in this manner. How else can I get this iso file onto my desktop computer?

I'm a new Linux user and i've only dabbled in terminal, but it's been serving me well. Unfortunately when i added my hotmail address to evolution it deleted all the emails from the actual hotmail website and saved them somewhere to my hard drive.
At the time i didn't care but know i've got a new laptop and i'm getting rid of the old one(with the emails on it).
So my question is, how can i transfer the emails to my new laptop or back to hotmail? The new laptop has windows 7 and i was planning on putting ubuntu on one of these days.

I am going to try out a tiling wm and I have narrowed my search down to scrotwm and dwm. I installed scrotwm from slackbuilds.org but it did not show up as a selection when I ran xwmconfig? Any ideas as to why? So then I went install dwm from slackbuilds.org but saw there was only a build script for slackware 13 as opposed to 13.1 which is what I am running. So two questions for dwm, one why is there no slackbuild for 13.1, and two when I tried to use the slackbuild for 13 this also didn't show up under xwmconfig, any thoughts?

As always, very impressive effort from Slackbuilds.org to get slackbuild scripts updated for 13.1. Thanks to all who maintain these scripts. One which does not seem to have made it to 13.1 so far is a build script for WINE. Anybody know whether this is beacuse of some problem ? Or just an oversight ? The 13.0 script is there - might be OK to just use this with 13.1 ?

Getting the hang of diff and patch, to a small extent...However, I couldn't get the slack-desc to print anything useful when running installpkg. Always had trouble with the slack-desc files.

Today, I finished assembling my dream computer. I can boot it into the BIOS, and I checked that everything was working correctly through there. Anyway, I attempted to transfer the hard drive from this computer to that one. This computer is a Dell (blech) Optiplex GX280 with an Intel processor and integrated graphics. The new one has an AMD Phenom II processor with an ATI card and an ASRock motherboard (drastically different machines, I know...) When I try to boot, GRUB gives me an error message that says something like:
Code:
blah whatever cannot find /dev/disk/by-uuid/372de761-9577-48be-ba19-c6b2890cb229
Did I do something wrong installing the hard drive? Or is this a problem that is going to happen no matter how hard I try to make it not happen? If the second is true, will it help if I wipe the disk and reinstall Ubuntu on the new computer?
P.S. I know similar threads about transferring hard disks have been posted, but no thread has mentioned this error.

At least, that is what I think happened.I was interested in trying out tilda, which needs the confuse libary, both of which are slackbuilds on slackbuilds.orgI built and installed confuse, and then went to build tilda but got some error I could not follow up on.However after this, nothing as a normal user would work!For some reason my libary directories, /lib64, /usr/lib64 and other key directories such as /usr/share and /usr/bin were set to have permissions 700It took me a while to figure out what was causing the problem.Can anyone confirm that the confuse slackbuild resets your permissions like this? Otherwise, what could have caused it?Can someone please give me the correct permissions for those direcories? Is it safe to just do chmod -R 755 /usr and /lib64?

I'm trying to install OpenShot for the second time. I was originally trying to make a slackbuild for this, when a new one appeared in SBo. It does not work for me, however. It seems that it has to run a python install script and this fails. The package then complains that it cannot find the mlt python bindings.

Im trying to recompile glibc from a working slackware-current system using source from a slackware mirror. I'm doing it for testing purpose only. Never done that before, so i'm not sure if i'm doing it right. I get the following error:

I have the latest fbreader.Slackbuild via sbopkg. The compilation steps seem to run OK until, if I understand this correctly, it starts work on libzlcore, at which point things go wrong :
Code:
OK
The README says I will need liblinebreak, which I "Slackbuilt" with no problems.

I used the fbreader.SlackBuild in a 64bit system to create a package and I got some libraries installed under /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. FBReader seems to work fine though, so I'm not sure this is a problem. I guess it could be if some other app looks for those libraries. Just thought I should report it anyway.
I used UI=gtk if it matters.

The script was ran using Slackware64 13.37 and the 2.6.38.4 kernel. I've googled around and searched here, but haven't found anything "current" on the such a problem.

If 13.1 and KDE 4.4.3 aren't new enough for anyone, I've just successfully built and installed KDE 4.4.4 with the slackbuilds for 4.4.3. I had to edit the Slackbuild for kdenetwork by commenting out the line that patches the source. Other than that everything seems to be fine, although I don't know yet if this is a good thing or a bad thing since I've just got it installed.

I was trying to install the HandBrake slackbuild. It gave me an error saying it needed webkit, so I check for it in slackbuilds.org, where I found it. Listing said it required two things: libsoup and icu4c. So I downloaded the slackbuilds for those two and they installed fine, then started the install for webkit.
It did its build thing for about ten minutes, then it errors out, but the error message is pretty convoluted so I'm not sure what its telling me. Here's the last few lines from the terminal:

Anyone know what went wrong, and what I need to do to fix this?

I downloaded the slackbuilds openoffice.org files, extracted them, added the original source, ran chmod +x openoffice.org.SlackBuild, ran ./openoffice.org.SlackBuild, then found the resulting .tgz and installpkg'ed it. I was able to get through all of the steps listed without any error messages and everything seemed to be going well. However, now when I navigate to opt/openoffice.org3 (the created folder) and attempt to run any of the programs from kde nothing happens. When I attempt to run them in terminal I get the following message:
root@slacktop:~# soffice
/usr/bin/soffice: line 98: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/program/pagein: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/soffice: line 104: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/../basis-link/ure-link/bin/javaldx: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/soffice: line 129: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: No such file or directory
is there some reason these files wouldn't be in there after a normal installation? I read the howto on slackbuilds.org several times to make sure I got all the steps right, and have tried uninstalling with removepkg and reinstalling and the same thing keeps happening.

Running Slackware64-13.1; installed the SlackBuild Blender and I changed the last line in SlackBuild script to .txz everything seems fine. Now I'm looking at FlashPlayer SlackBuild, noticed the last line is .tgz? Just want to make sure I am supposed to be changing the last script line .tgz to .txz?

Where do slackbuild scripts put all their stuff? Because I was compiling QT4 with a slackbuild script and after like 10 years it finally got to the end I think and it was creating the tar.gz file in /tmp I think and then my stupid athlon overheated and my computer turned off. So I got an air compressor and blew all the dust out of the cooling fins and started over. But the script started completely over from the beginning like it hadn't done it all already.
My athlon's overheated before when compiling manually and when restarting make just skips all the files it already compiled. I wonder the slackbuild script doesn't do that.
