Slackware :: Use Gnome Instead Of The Official KDE Build?
Jan 4, 2010
I was wondering on how to use Gnome instead of the official KDE build. I know I can go to the third party slackbuilds.org. But not sure where to look on how to install it. If someone can direct me in the right direction that would be swell.
I am looking for a install step by step guide for Gnome. I was also curious if the Gnome version would provide me the same stability and speed as the official Slackware with KDE.
My second question is regarding the Slackbook project. I know I can get the pdf file and print it out but I was hoping for a book that can get shipped to me and when I purchase it the proceeds go to the Slackware organization.

I noticed that the official Slackware packages don't contain static libraries. The SlackBuild scripts from slackbuilds.org or from Slackware DVD usually contain --disable-static option to prevent building the .a file. And if configure script doesn't allow such option, the .a file is deleted before the package is created.I am wondering what is the reason for that? Is it just the matter of conserving disk space? Are there also other reasons?

Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.

Now that 13.1 is available I am thinking about getting the official CD in the hope that from time to time I can use their support team. Do you think it's worth it. Naturally I would like to also support the team for their efforts. Would they support me on occasions I cannot get it here? Mostly support to do with available software packages, gnome, etc.

Just wondering as I couldn't find anything regarding when official slackware support ends for 12.2?
And, does that assume that sbopkg support for 12.2 would also end at same time?

this one might be simple BUT, where tha heck, I can download some non official software for slackware,I can use installpkg, pkgtool or even gslapt, but WHERE can I download packages or even better set as source for slapt-get.For example two applications: blender 2.49bor due to suckage of craps like mplayer that is installed by default with slackware VLC media player

I downloaded from http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/s...ce/n/net-snmp/ source and I build new package and works ok no errors. If I change net-snmp.SlackBuild and add CFLAGS --with-mib-modules=ucd-snmp/lmSensors --with-ldflags=-lsensors while I need lmsensors support in net-snmp. But the package compiling ends with error:

My CPU is AMD Phenom 9550 Quad core. It supports 64 bit. My os is slackware 13_64. What do I need to change in slackbuild to create a txz package for those apps?

I followed the instructions for compiling the Gnome 3 Shell and it did compiled with a few errors here and there but it didn't run. I installed Gnome 3 Shell using sudo apt-get install gnome-shell but I got version 2.31.x but the latest is 2.91.5 or something. So is there a way for me to install the latest build? Is there some repository available for the latest build?

I have run into problems building GNOME Shell from source on the Lucid Lynx. The Lynx has GNOME 2.30, correct? Well, ~/gnome-shell-build-setup.sh tells me that "GNOME 2.26 or newer is required to build GNOME Shell" when I already have 2.30. Just look at this screenshot [URL]...

I have been trying to build FreeCad and k-3d for Slackware......not much luck...
FreeCad has two build systems... automake and cmake, both fail despite the fact that dependencies are installed...cmake build system fails at about 80% complaining that it cannot find
Quote:
I guess the build system is broken...About K-3d, the thing builds alright..had to install libsig++ glibmm cairomm pangomm and gtkmm as dependencies...
The thing actually builds but when i try to make the installable package, I have to use trackinstall -i="make -i install", but the installable package fails to launch because it cannot find stuff in /usr/share/

I've been trying to replace the KDE apps I still use in Fluxbox and I was trying to build epdfview using the Slackbuild. When it had to build its parts that depend on poppler, make crashed. The same thing happened when I tried to build evince. What is going on in my PC? I'm running an updated -current 64 bits. I made screenshots of both errors

Anybody use xemacs with slackware? If so, how did you build or install it? I've used it in the past with other distros. I briefly tried emacs but because I was used to xemacs, gave up on it.

I'm trying to build/install KDE 4.5.4, but I run into problems with the bindings package. Build fails with the following:
[Code]....
I'm building using the KDE slackbuild from sources dir, with the new KDE packages. edit: Well I decided to just take the risk of a not working KDE and commented out the bindings package. All other packages build fine. After this I crossed my fingers and rebooted, KDE loaded up. I gave the bindings package another go, and to my surprise it did build now. Got KDE up to date and it seems to be running fine.

Work I've got 2 slackware 13.1 64 machines, and they work just fine: Basic installation, everything ' bog standard 'When in Dolphin or Konqueror, I can ' click ' on Network Services and all the other MS Window machines pop-up.
@Home I've got 2 slackware 13.1 64 machines, they don't work fine. Basic installation, everything ' bog standard '. When in Dolphin or Konqueror, I can 'click' on Network Services and 'KDE has been build without Zeroconf support' pops up in Konqueror or is displayed in Dolpin..
Is it my netwerk @ Home (with an old Windows Server in it) or is something missing in the installation? Under MS windows (from within a virtualbox, brigded network) both machines can browse the network just perfectly: I even got a XP machine 'joined' in the domain on the windows server). Clueless since a google on the error + slackware give me Zero. Zeroconf in the slackware forum give me some midly related

how to build luabind properly on slackware, or I guess any distro. I have not been able to build it for the last hour and it has really made me angry. It seems everything lua pisses me off, because they really like not to use any sane build system.So far I've tried doing what they said, and I got the boost source both from the link they provide and from the slackware source directory. The one they provide make a jam0, which looks for a Jamfile, which does not exist. The one from the slackware source directory does make a bjam, but when I run it it looks for boost, not for luabind. It's just madness. If only I could get in touch with the luabind devs so I can curse at them and send them hatemail.
