Ditto!

no problems here with this upgrade.

Thom1b · 06-03-2016, 10:33 AM

Everything is fine for me.

hitest · 06-03-2016, 10:46 AM

All is well here. Many thanks to Pat and the entire Team!

archfan · 06-03-2016, 10:47 AM

Same here. It's all good.

bamunds · 06-03-2016, 12:00 PM

This is all looking great. I notice that Pat and Robby have already changed the -current "UPGRADE.TXT" file to reflect upgrading from 14.1 to 14.2 as of June 2. I do note that no new hints have been added since 26 April, I was hoping to see some hints specifically about NVIDIA and the legacy drivers (I use driver 340.96 for my old 8400GS card), but I still need to investigate what latest NOUVEA is doing for theh NVIDIA legacy cards. I'm looking forward to this upgrade, because I still use the 3.10.17-2 kernel and have some intermittent quirks I'm hoping will be gone with 4.4.12. Thanks Pat and team for all the great improvements!

ahc_fan · 06-03-2016, 12:16 PM

Rock solid for me, as always.

anon074 · 06-03-2016, 01:17 PM

The following two lines ought to be removed from the perl.SlackBuild as the x2p directory is gone in Perl 5.22:

cat x2p/makefile | grep -v '\<command-line\>' > foo
mv foo x2p/makefile

There's a regression in libxml2 2.9.4 that breaks the XML::LibXML Perl module's test suite: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766834

The script /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-slackware removes the powerfail line from /etc/inittab but LXC uses SIGPWR to stop containers. I use the following line: pf:

owerfail:/sbin/shutdown -h now

Since I moved from kernel version 3.18.33 to Slackware's kernel 4.4.11 on May, 28th my ThinkPad froze twice. Hibernating also fails sometimes. I'll go back to 3.18.

Mobile1 · 06-03-2016, 04:01 PM

I'm running -current 64bitty, with 4.4.12, 4.6 & 4.6.1 Kernels - so far everything is running solid, I haven't found anything broken in my usage so far. But I'm sure I could break something : )

Looking good at this point, bring on 14.2!

good catch.

the sed was actually added to avoid the specific use in the inittab of the containers of /sbin/genpowerfail and at the time they were shut down abruptly (so a specific shutdown routine was needed in the rc.lxc init script): now it's maybe better to change that sed with this

Code:

sed -i 's/genpowerfail.*/shutdown -h now/' $rootfs/etc/inittab

so containers shut down faster.

Sailing smoothly, as always.

montagdude · 06-03-2016, 07:58 PM

No problems here, but then I haven't had any problems at all since I started with Slackware -current a few months ago.

sombragris · 06-03-2016, 08:31 PM

No problems here, so far.
