Before I went to bed last night I came up with the brilliant idea of trying out current.
I have been running 14.2 for about two weeks now and everything have been working just fine, so ofc I needed to mess it up
I replaced the mirror in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors with one from current and ran all the commands.
everything worked out just fine except for one thing, steam...
This is the output I get.
Code:
Slackware 32-bit: Check the 'deps/<slackwareversion>' directory where you downloaded this package and install/upgrade the packages you find there.
Slackware 64-bit multilib: Install/upgrade the packages in the 'deps/<slackwareversion>/multilib' subdirectory instead.
Running Steam on slackware 14.2 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Pins up-to-date!
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libGL.so.1
libEGL.so.1
libGL.so.1
libgraphite2.so.3
I have reinstalled the nvidia drivers and I said yes to the extra 32bit libs.
I have also installed the multilib thru slackpkg+, this is my plus config if there is anything I have missed out on there.
Code:
Configuration for slackpkg+. See /usr/doc/slackpkg+-*/README for more details
# Please read manpage: "man slackpkgplus.conf" and documentation /usr/doc/slackpkg+-*/README

#
# Set this flag to 'on' allow slackpkg+ to install 32bit packages on a 64bit slackware
# installation (possibly unsafe). Please, do not install both 32 and 64bit of the same
# package to avoid problems, and NEVER upgrade existant 64bit packages with relative 32bit package.
# Do not forget to install the multilibs.
ALLOW32BIT=off
# Enable (1) / Disable (0) the official slackpkg blacklist. May be useful to temporarily skip

# Enable (on) / Disable (off) a Strict GPG Check. A repository should contains packages signed
# with the only original GPG-KEY. In some custom repository may be wanted to mix heterogeneous
# packages; to use that repository set Strict GPG Check to off. P.S: a repository can
# contain just ONE gpg-key; you may manually import the other.
STRICTGPG=on
# If two or more repositories contains some same packages, you can specify
# from which repository you prefer to search it.
# The syntax is "<repository_name>:<package_name>"
# Accepts regular expressions. To give priority to an entire repository use "<repository_name>"
# Examples:
#PKGS_PRIORITY=( restricted:vlc )
# OR
#PKGS_PRIORITY=( myrepo )
#
# if you have two reporitories to give priority you must set both in the same line
#PKGS_PRIORITY=( myrepo restricted:vlc )
#
# if you want to install 'ktown' repository you must set it here
#PKGS_PRIORITY=( ktown )
# and DO NOT MISS to read special instruction on /usr/doc/slackpkg+-*/repositories.txt
#
# If you want a multilib system, uncomment the multilib repository and set:
PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib )
#
# (Use /usr/doc/slackpkg+-*/setupmultilib.sh to setup a multilib configuration)
#
# For both multilib and ktown set
#PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib ktown )
# Otherwise you can try to upgrade a package from a repository that contains a package with the
# same tag of the already installed package. Tipically that means to upgrade a package from the
# same author of the already installed package.
# Note that this method may not works properly where two repositories contains a package with the
# same tag.
# Set TAG_PRIORITY to 'on' to enable this function
TAG_PRIORITY=off

# Define mirrors (uncomment one or more mirror; remember to add it to REPOPLUS)
# GPG Note: after adding/renaming a repository, you must to run 'slackpkg update gpg'
# some repositories as salixos, have a partial GPG support;
# for that repositories you may need to run slackpkg with 'slackpkg -checkgpg=off ...'

Steam worked just fine before I went over to current.
Please help me

I may be wrong here, but if you're using nvidia proprietary drivers, you're going to have to reinstall them.
In this case, make sure you enable the 32-bit libraries that driver provides.

Yes, but I wrote that I have tried to reinstall them with the 32bit libs that comes with the installer and that made no difference
Don't forget to run "slackpkg install-new" once and awhile, too.
Current is nice for Steam, and I've been running the new library for a few days now. You don't even need to install python 3, if proton is your thing. (It's already installed alongside python 2.)
