Complaint about Slackware 12.2
 

I installed Slackware 12.2 last night, and would like to make a complaint about it:

Everything works.

My camera was detected and I could view the photos in Konqueror... without any of the fun... :(

Proper Slackware woulda had me downloading and compiling stuff.

What am I supposed to do now?

Hi,

Enjoy!

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. I've completed two installs of 12.2..........and nothing is broken.
Ya gotta love Slackware!!!!

Me 2!
I installed it on 2 boxes with wired/wireless so far and installed wicd with slackpkg and it even detected & set-up my wireless connection perfect!
I installed a bunch of my 12.1 pkgs and everything just worked!
Nuthin' to fix.
Maybe something in Current will break so I'll have something to do.

Easy. Buy unsupported hardware, then you'll get problems you were looking for.

If you tell me that your video card was NVIDIA and you had no problems, then I'm jumping.:cry:

All of mine were NVIDIA and never any trouble.

You could have gone all day without saying that........

Never had a problem with my Nvidia cards at all..........

I haven't even gotten to the NVIDIA card yet. Buy a @!%$@%& realtek 8185 wireless card, and you might have just a little fun. { Got one for sale, Real Cheap :) }

I've vowed never to buy another Realtek card again out of spite. ;) Two ethernet cards I have (both Realtek) have to have their speed explicitly defined using ethtool, and will not work at all without specifying that. Very annoying. I had the same problem in Windows, so I definitely blame Realtek and not Linux.

My Nvidia card installation with 12.1 went very smoothly......however I'm having problems with 12.2 and don't know why. Getting some help in another post. I may just wipe this drive again and re-install.:scratch:

That's the Ubombtu way, not the Slackware method..................what thread did you post the issue in?

I'm in "Small Problems After Upgrade - Need Fix"....Woodsman has been gently pushing me in the right direction. Hopefully there's a fix over the hill.

Good One!
Made me smile.
Thanks.
:D
