feel like a 4 year old when I checked change logs, its coming I know it is.

I got 2 i3's and one of them is turning into a slackbox I've run slackware off and on over the years. I can't run slackware on my main pc right now its damn winders and I hate it but my 4 year old grandson has his needs and his needs are my wishes but I have evil plans ahead command line and shell are going to be as native to him as tablet and mouse.

but I can't wait.

I'm happy to hear you love Slackware. Indeed! I also love reading the changelog.

Kudos to the Slackware dev team! These are some huge additions to the system (though I remain uncomfortable with the switch from procps to procps-ng).

With such large changes come long debug cycles, so the release candidate probably won't be for a long time yet.

Someone else got dhcpcd problems with that update?

My /etc/resolv.conf stays often empty after reboot (but not always)
Also if I do /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 stop and start it often works but
sometimes it just stays empty and I have to do stop start again.

I know I could configure it to not touch resolv.conf but somehow there must be
something wrong because it worked earlier.

Downgraded back to dhcpcd 6.8.1 and seems always fine again now, hmm weird.

I'm using a wired connection over NetworkManager. I didn't have any problems after the update.

Problem confirmed, I recompiled 6.8.2, it seems working now.

Didn't see this thread in time.
I'm having issues with dhcpcd too.

Start 'top', press 'z' to change to a black&white theme and 'W' (uppercase) to save if you like this way. Restart and it should keep the b/w theme. 'W' will save your config and create a '.toprc' inside your home dir...

Thanks, BrZ :-) that's a start! Any tips on getting numbers back instead of the ascii-art graphs?

You could install the recently uploaded -2 build.

I've been using -current for quite a while now Patrick and I must say, having used 13, 13.1, 13.37, 14 and 14.1, this -current, 14.2-to-be(?), is the one I am most happy with. It's the first Slackware I've been able to put on people's machines as a more-or-less drop-in replacement for Windows XP. (Yes most people around here are just waking up to its EOL now!) KDE, Xfce, LibreOffice and the rest have reached a state of maturity that can easily go mainstream, something I couldn't really say about them just a few years ago.

There's obviously a lot of hard work put in before a release goes out, for which, to you and the team, many thanks.

I suppose this takes care of some problems with compiling the new Ugene

Seeing so many updates is like Christmas.

There's also another problem I'm trying to resolve which is udev/eudev renaming the Ethernet device odd names other than ethX based. I'm trying to figure out if I can import a rule set for 70-persistent-net.rule in /etc/udev/rules.d somehow to keep eth0 named eth0.

This makes me happy way out of proportion to its actual merit :-D thank you!
