Pl. guide
Kernel not upgraded

Have you checked your slackpkg blacklist file? It might still have some required packages blackisted.

/etc/slackpkg/blacklist

san2ban · 07-02-2016, 11:30 PM

Only kernel related modules are blacklisted

Richard Cranium · 07-03-2016, 03:50 AM

Why did you not upgrade the kernel too?

Since slackdocs recommend that kernel should not be upgraded, I did not upgrade the kernel. Definitely, I issued the slackpkg install-new command

ponce · 07-03-2016, 04:38 AM

the kernel *should* be upgraded if you move from one version of Slackware to the next, maybe you are referring to some general hints when applying patches (but even then it can happen that you have to install a newer kernel package): can you please link where you read that
?
libudev.so.0 is contained in the following packages (that you should have on your upgraded slackware64-14.2):

Code:

aaa_elflibs-14.2-x86_64-23
eudev-3.1.5-x86_64-8

to check if you missed something you can also issue a

Code:

slackpkg install slackware64

and see what slackpkg proposes you to install.

Ponce
Anyhow, I would have upgraded the kernel later

When I issue the command that you have mentioned, only KDE packages are shown. I have not installed KDE, only XFCE.

The problem is clear now.
As you have mentioned, I tried to manually install aaa_elflibs, there is a md5sum error, only for this package.
How to transfer this package to the slackware machine? I have only wireless internet. No wired lan

Slackdocs mention "never upgrade a working kernel"

but your connection should already be working, or you shouldn't be able to use slackpkg...
you can issue a

Code:

slackpkg update
slackpkg reinstall aaa_elflibs eudev

if you aren't connected to the internet just copy them on a usb disk and move them on the target machine.

Mine is a wireless 3G internet connection. Network manager is not recognizing it, since I have not yet been able to get the XFCE desktop

ok, but there it suggests that you should parallel install also the new one and leave the old just as a fallback option.

you can start it from console with command "nmtui" (network manager text user interface).

san2ban · 07-03-2016, 05:50 AM

'nmtui'
bash:nmtui:command not found

ponce · 07-03-2016, 05:51 AM

Code:

$ which nmtui
/usr/bin/nmtui
$ grep nmtui /var/log/packages/*
/var/log/packages/NetworkManager-1.2.2-x86_64-2:usr/bin/nmtui
/var/log/packages/NetworkManager-1.2.2-x86_64-2:usr/man/man1/nmtui.1.gz
/var/log/packages/NetworkManager-1.2.2-x86_64-2:usr/share/gtk-doc/html/NetworkManager/nmtui.html

san2ban · 07-03-2016, 05:57 AM

which: no nmtui in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin)

ponce · 07-03-2016, 06:00 AM

so you most probably have also other problems beside libudev missing...

check the output of

Code:

grep nmtui /var/log/packages/*
ls -la /var/log/packages/NetworkManager*
