Request for kernel config change in to 4.6 config

All modern distros now goes with LANG in utf8 , then i think is good idea put this as "yes" , same as other fylesystems have utf8 default since years.

CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_UTF8=

Thanks.

If you are using grub, you can fix the omission in your next boot without a rescue disk. (That's why I use grub on most of my machines, anyways.)

If you are using grub2, you can still fix the omission in your next boot without a rescue disk and you can use the 09_slackware_linux script that I've posted in the forum a few times to allow you to run grub-mkconfig to build the proper grub config for you.

I think that slackpkg could be improved to ask if you'd like to run the mkinitrd_command_generator and then ask if you'd like to edit lilo.conf prior to asking if you'd like to run lilo on a kernel change.

Hi,

Another user reporting strange problem. It wouldn't have happend, should the user run generic kernel.

I'm not asking for huge removal, I'm telling the situation should be corrected.

Use one of the provided generic kernels for daily use. Do not report
bugs until/unless you have reproduced them using one of the stock
generic kernels. You will need to create an initrd in order to boot
the generic kernels - see /boot/README.initrd for instructions.
The huge kernels are primarily intended as "installer" and "emergency"
kernels in case you forget to make an initrd.

Sigh - If only people would read the documentation,

It was I who opened the can-o-worms in the other post and on the SlackBuilds Mailing List.

And yes, I could surely benefit from a thorough re-RTFM session-or-ten

OTOH, This exercise certainly provides a tangible demonstration as to why Pat is considering eliminating the Huge Kernel.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please consider updating /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio in the following way:

Code:

--- rc.pulseaudio	2016-01-08 04:59:30.000000000 +0100
+++ /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio	2016-08-16 01:07:53.301984531 +0200
@@ -14,10 +14,11 @@
 
 pulse_start() {
   if [ -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio ]; then
-    echo "Starting system PulseAudio daemon:  /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --disallow-module-loading &"
+    echo "Starting system PulseAudio daemon:  /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system"
     rm -rf /var/lib/pulse
     # Any errors/warnings will go to the log files:
-    /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --disallow-module-loading 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null &
+    /usr/bin/pulseaudio --system --disable-shm --enable-memfd \
+      --disallow-module-loading --exit-idle-time=-1 --disallow-exit --daemonize
   fi
 }

I've always preferred using the software builtin daemoninzing method rather than '&'.
The few more flags make the daemon start without issuing warnings, so there's no reason to redirect stdin/stderr.
Use of memfd might need investigation, but it worked for me.

I also tried to use pulseaudio --kill in pulse_stop() function, but had no luck making it work.
I started looking at the source code, but then decided I have better things to do ;-)

As a side note, rc.pulseaudio stop seems to be not called anywhere in the shutdown scripts.
Is it deliberate or have I missed some update (-current -> -14.2)?

Hello,

There's an issue in libdvdread.SlackBuild about documentation.

The slackbuild installs documentation files (ie. AUTHORS, ChangeLog,...) in /usr/doc/libdvdread-5.0.3 and shrink the file Changelog, if present, to save some space. However, the Makefile also installs these documentation files in /usr/share/doc/libdvdread by default :

Code:

$ ls /usr/doc/libdvdread*
/usr/doc/libdvdread:
AUTHORS  COPYING  ChangeLog  NEWS  README  TODO

/usr/doc/libdvdread-5.0.3:
AUTHORS  COPYING  ChangeLog  NEWS  README  TODO

Here is a patch to fix this :

Hi,

Could dnsmasq be recompiled with D-Bus support?
It would allow for dnsmasq to be used from NetworkManager.

@atelszewski,
why patch and not CFLAGS="-W -Wall -O2 -DHAVE_DBUS"?

You have to pass this as COPTS="-DHAVE_DBUS" to the cmake commandline, instead of trying to put this into CFLAGS.
