EDIT: If I make networkmanager executable it brings it up automatically, how do I do it without having the networkmanager icon though? Being too picky maybe..
Have you tried re-running netconfig?

4.7.2 is worth upgrade before 14 got released. As in the release note:

Quote:
GCC versions 4.7.0 and 4.7.1 had changes to the C++ standard library which affected the ABI in C++11 mode: a data member was added to std::list changing its size and altering the definitions of some member functions, and std:: pair's move constructor was non-trivial which altered the calling convention for functions with std:: pair arguments or return types. The ABI incompatibilities have been fixed for GCC version 4.7.2 but as a result C++11 code compiled with GCC 4.7.0 or 4.7.1 may be incompatible with C++11 code compiled with different GCC versions and with C++98/C++03 code compiled with any version.
There are some binary incompatibility problem with 4.7.0,4.7.1 with the reset of gcc version.

The GNU Compiler Collection version 4.7.2 has been released.

GCC 4.7.2 is the first bug-fix release containing important fixes for regressions and serious bugs in GCC 4.7.1 with over 70 bugs fixed since the previous release.

kernel huge-3.5.4 from testing doesn't compile on RC5

Hi,

I did a fresh install of slackware64 RC5 on my homeserver. I wanted to try the 3.5.4-kernel from testing. I've used the config-huge-3.5.4.x64 script with the sources from kernel.org. Only change (with menuconfig) was processor-type=K8. But make breaks with the following message:

I had already built the generic kernel with the config-generic-3.5.4.x64 script and the same sources (in another directory), the generic kernel 3.5.4 works properly.

Does anyone know if this can be a bug in the kernel? I'll try again to build the kernel.

Hello!
I have a problem with oxygen-gtk2-1.3.0 and Opera browser, version is 12.0 build 1467. I use Xfce-4.10, this problem shows here. With all another Qt- and GTK+ based programs are all good. Any ideas? Dependencies is satisfied. Thanks.

@Markush: according to another thread and to this post it could be because as DLM is configured as module, GFS2_FS should be modularized as well. But in the -huge config it is built-in.

So please edit the config file you used like this :
Code:
sed -i s/CONFIG_GFS2_FS=y/CONFIG_GFS2_FS=m/ config-huge-3.5.4.x64
And try again. If that succeed, we could kindly request Pat to make that change in Slackware 14.

PS the same difference between -huge and -generic kernels exist in configs for 3.4.11 and 3.6-rc4. This is not surprising as usually in Slackware kernels all file systems are modularized in -generic and built-in in -huge.

PS2 Another solution would be for Pat to ship only config files for -generic kernels in /testing. This would save him some time and wouldn't be a big loss for us end users IMHO, as anyway the kernels we build from these config files aren't supposed to be used to install Slackware 14...

In response as to why LLVM is part of Slackware 14, please see this excerpt from the slackware-current changelog from 5 May 2012:

Code:
Sat May  5 02:28:15 UTC 2012
Hey folks, here are some more updates, including the latest stuff from X.Org.
Thanks to Robby Workman for updating the X11 build tree, and B. Watson for
adding useful information to hundreds of X slack-desc files that previously
contained generic boilerplate.
a/tree-1.6.0-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
d/llvm-3.0-x86_64-1.txz:  Added.
  This is needed to compile gallium drivers for X, and will probably
  be useful for other development.  Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
So the inclusion of LLVM is not merely "for academic benefit" but to meet the needs of Slackware users who use the Gallium Xorg drivers.

Cheers,
John

Thanks very much to Didier Spaier, I've changed the option as you wrote, afterwards the kernel compiled without error. I'll install it tomorrow.

Installed 14-RC5 and noticed a couple of minor xfce4 issues (well, issues for me, anyways).

- new xfce4-goodies plugins are not recognized, have to copy from /usr/local/share/xfce4/panel-plugins to /usr/share/xfce4/panel-plugins

- no more 'task list' plugin that I could find - 'window buttons' is ok, but 'task list' was better

Other than that, 14 looks to be the best slackware yet.

Opera can use Qt/KDElibs for styling directly. I would use this rather than a Gtk theme that mimics a Qt theme. Change opera:config#FileSelector|DialogToolkit to 3, click "Save" and restart Opera.

Thank you, this solves my problem.

Hello,

referring to post #34, #36 and #38 above, I have now compiled the 3.5.4-huge-kernel from testing and it runs very well (as expected).

Fixed now, thanks to Pat:
Code:
Mon Sep 24 20:25:12 UTC 2012
Here are a few minor bugfixes as well as a couple more test drivers for X:
...
testing/source/config-testing-3.*:  Rebuilt.
  Changed CONFIG_GFS2_FS in huge kernels from y -> m to fix the compile.
...

Could someone explain a recent change in rc.M:
Code:
192c192
< if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd ]; then
---
> if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd -a -x usr/sbin/wicd ]; then
Thanks!

Thanks!
Read the changelog please!
Code:
a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-12.txz:  Rebuilt.
  In rc.M, don't run rc.wicd if /usr/sbin/wicd does not exist.  This change
  prevents a leftover rc.wicd from blocking NetworkManager startup.
Eric
