I have finally moved to 14.0. A bit disappointed.
Hi: I now can install the latter versions of libflashplayer.so and can see some pages like youtube in due form. All of these really superficial things for a programmer. As a result of the install, I have a new Seamonkey web browser, but the default page still warns me that my version is old!
Let's make to questions regarding, for instance, the web browser:
These are little things, I'll give you that, but little things getting in the way at all times can be very tiresome. If anyone says this is not a question, I'll give him that too. This is plain protest. And for users of Seamonkey. But there are many other things that are troublesome now. For example, sound installation. I think one of these days I go back to 12.0 and the old, good ways. |
If you don't like how Seamonkey behaves, take it up with upstream. The Slackware guys just package it. You can always build older version of SM as well, just modify the SlackBuild for it.

But then some sites complain about obsolete browser and do not properly display the page!

slackbuilds.org has an installer under multimedia/flash-player-plugin

Well - I have to disagree strongly with this thread.
I just upgraded to Slackware 14.0 over the weekend on both my computers and I have to say ... It's a delight. Just a few examples of things that are better in Slackware 14.0:
Pat, Thanks for Slackware 14.0. |

It's the DE, Xfce. It can be configure not to show images with the menus, but the default configuration is to show them. And Slackware packages it. Everyday, the GUI, which is that which 99% of Linux users use, is more like Windows. And when I booted for the first time, I was confronted with tiny characters completely unreadable for anybody but enjoying excellent eyesight. Why???

It seems that the "Save page as" keyboard shortcut was changed in 2005. Correct me if I am wrong. Quote:

Place a check-mark in front of "Switch to new tabs opened from links" which is a preference you'll find in "Edit > Preferences... > Browser > Tabbed Browsing". Firefox has this prefernce too, and it has been available in both browsers for a long time. |
Mein Gott. Some kind of religious zeal in the slackware forum? I'll right tell I do not like to have to look for the way to something I had no need to do before. This satisfies merely commercial needs above all. Look how we are approaching Windows in the user interface. The home directory full with (My) Pictures, (My) Documents and so on. Why do I have to have premade directories? If I want a directory I create it. If I don't like it, I destroy it. But try to remove ~/Desktop and you won't be able to do so if you are not a guru. My debut in 14.0 preannounced all these things: the text console was now written in minute characters. I suppose there was a reason to make it this way, perhaps to desperate people not enjoying good eyesight in trying to find the documentation that would let them see the documentation!

It had nothing to do with KMS, as far as I could tell, but everything with this issue. The developer of xscreensaver has to say the following about x-server crashes: Quote:
And yes - I was confusing myself at the time back in 2011. At first I downgraded the xf86-video-intel driver, but then later decided to upgrade it instead. Just for the fun of it. |
