Geeqie is slow now. Image rendering is noticeably slower on bigger files (like 1280x4000 pixels).
You can see how it's rendered block by block, line by line.
can it be you messed something with libjpeg/libjpeg-turbo? the first package should have been substituted by the second in current.
you can try
Code:
slackpkg reinstall libjpeg-turbo
Well, this is strange. I saw that libjpeg-turbo was a SBo-package. I removed it and then tried slackpkg (slackpkg+), however, it could only find alien's package with an older version 1.2.0 but version 1.4.0 of the compat32 (multilib).
So, I compiled and installed it again via Slackbuild. It shows that the files are installed at /opt-location, so I symlinked the la-file back to /usr/lib64.
libjpeg-turbo is in slackware{64}-current since the big update of april 22, so you most probably have some issues with your slackpkg repository settings.

I tried rebuilding xfce-volumed from -Current to see if it fixed GStreamer not found, and no it doesn't. I think the developers ended support anyways. It rebuilds but Xfce can't work with it.

I installed another mixer from SBo and got it working that way.

Probably you don't have the gstreamer0 packages installed then. Install those, and it'll work. Install any other missing packages and most of your other bugs will be fixed as well.
"GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. it also may be a permissions problem."
When I rebuilt gst-plugins-base0-0.10.36, it finally worked.
Patrick, you might want to rebuild gst-plugins-base0 on your end. I think, if I'm correct here, one of the required dependencies wasn't built with the original package properly, so a rebuild might be required to fix it.
I can't attach a buildlog unfortunately due to the file size. Is there an email I can forward it to you, if you need it?
Also there's some minor issues popping up in my logs with X as well:
Code:
[ 6272.828] (II) LoadModule: "vnc"
[ 6272.829] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so
[ 6272.829] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[ 6272.829] (II) UnloadModule: "vnc"
[ 6272.829] (II) Unloading vnc
[ 6272.829] (EE) Failed to load module "vnc" (loader failed, 7)
I'm guessing the vnc library in TigerVNC was linked against the wrong version of libgcrypt? We have a symlink for libgcrypt.so.20 in -Current.
Also this:
Code:
[ 6272.826] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: The name org.freedesktop.login1 was not provided by any .service files
can be qwelled by adding this line to the xorg-server SlackBuild in the configure options:
Code:
--disable-systemd-logind \
Lastly, this:
Code:
[ 6273.121] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): [COPY] failed to allocate class.
Not sure what this is about, but otherwise, the information given is very little. Doesn't seem to affect anything.
