You l33t haxor you ...

I keep looking every day to see what's changed. I already looked once today, and would have likely checked before I went to bed. But having this post makes matters easy.

Thank you,

Sweet. FireFox 3.5 is in.

Same here. I wish Pat would introduce RSS feeds for the changelogs (and that the website would be made more up to date), but oh well. Edit: I have seen the RSS feeds for the changelogs at dev.slackware.it, so that's useful. Sometimes, though, they're a bit out of date. Oh well .

Hi!
Does anybody have kde4 Lancelot plasma applet working out of the box on slackware-current? I had it broken on both 32 and 64bit versions of slackware, only got it working after recompiling the applet. Not a major issue for me, but thought i mention it here.
Cheers!

I compiled and installed Lancelot on my 32-bit. It thought it was working well. But then I started to notice that my system was consuming a lot of cpu power. I didn't know why. I then for some reason turned off Lancelot. When I saw that my system promptly settled down to a more reasonable level, I decided to check and see why.

When I investigated the web, I found out that Lancelot was notorious about consuming cpu power. That settled it for me and I removed it, promptly!

If you want to compile it on your 64-bit system, I think src2pkg will work for it just fine. That's how I built my 32-bit copy of it. I haven't checked Lancelot since going to 64-bit on this system. So if you get it to work without using up all your cpu power, let me know.

[OT]During the compilation lancelot gives errors to me, after I saw that it gives CPU problems(and Shingoshi says it too), I didn't want to install it anymore, because I found it useless. [/OT]

Just for check i compiled lancelot anew in my 64bit installation and cpu usage is normal. I was using svn version of it which i had downloaded some time ago, probably revision 965867. Latest didn't compile on my machine, maybe i did something wrong.

Happy birthday SqdnGuns

Well guys, new kernel 2.6.9.6 in -current...I don't think that there'll be new kernel updates, slackware 13 is coming

Hi,

I think you mean '2.6.29.6'.

Are the SlackBuilds going to support the x86_64 architecture?

Slamd64 already offers SlamdBuilds in this regard

The conversion of scripts at http://slackbuilds.org/ to support x86_64 is well underway. Look at our current template.SlackBuild if you think about making a future submission.
