Your package work, without problem, gdm and gnome-shell start correctly in normal mode.

(if you want run gnome in fallback mode it's possible to change this, in the gnome-control-center)

Here are also x86-64 package with the patch if someone wants to look at it:

http://dl.flevum.de/slackware64/test...-2dlba.txz.md5

They work as expected for me.

Hi zeroberto,

recompile your nvidia drivers should fix your problem.

zeroberto · 01-27-2013, 11:22 AM

I already did that, but I still get this error.
I think pangox-compat is needed for this to work.
Bug report

gmgf · 01-27-2013, 11:55 AM

libpangox-1.0.so.0 is not present in this new pango version probably is obsolet. but it's seem to be needed
for the nvidia tools, archlinux have make a package 'pangox-compat'

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/e...pangox-compat/

the source hare here:

saxa · 01-31-2013, 08:24 AM

Yeah, unfortunately Barts server is sloow. I will try to put all the packages on sf.net soon. This will happen when we release
a stable release or probably already the RC.

Hi peeps, its a happy day today , the end of the world !

Today 12-12-12 the day of the check-sound (one,two, one,two, one,two) we have also a nice surprise, we reached the ALPHA state for our dropline GNOME 3.6 release.

Get the installers for Slackware 14.0 from here:

32bit
dropline-installer-3.6_r4104-i686-1dl.txz
dropline-installer-3.6_r4104-i686-1dl.txz.md5

64bit
dropline-installer-3.6_r4104-x86_64-1dl.txz
dropline-installer-3.6_r4104-x86_64-1dl.txz.md5

This release is probably one of the best releases done up to today, at least at first sight I can say that the desktop is really stable.

All this was possible thanks two 2 big developers who lost a lot of time building and fixing the packages:

Mr. Eugen Wissner and Mr. Bart Van Der Hall

My personal thanks to them for their great work. I can also say that also other people was involved in this release and we all are really thankful to all of you.

That’s it, please test the release and report whatever you find wrong.

From now on we will concentrate on updating the packages and fixing bugs. We will start cleaning up what is wrong and creating a unified default theme. After we fix most of that stuff we can quickly do BETA stage and after that RC.

If you feel that there is not a program shipped which could benefit all of us speak now and step up, BETA stage will be only for fixing bugs and no new programs will be added.

That’s it, test, test, test, and report !

The dropline GNOME development team

People, you realize you install this and you turn your beautiful Slackware into a mutated Ubuntu, right?

saxa · 02-01-2013, 09:21 AM

Heh, this means it worked for you

aszabo · 02-01-2013, 03:40 PM

Hi, I tried to install dropline-installer, but I got the following error:

ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libawn.so:

Which package do I need?

saxa · 02-01-2013, 04:19 PM

This error has nothing to do with dropline-installer, but with some missing library on your not clean os install. To be honest this is because dropline-installer trys to check for some libs with running ldconfig, and since this lib is missing on your system ldconfig gives you back this error.
As you can see the dep libs on this line you will see that there is not such a library required to run dropline-installer. See below:

gmgf · 02-02-2013, 04:15 AM

libawn.so is probably a part, of 'avant-window-navigator'

aszabo · 02-02-2013, 11:02 AM

OK, I managed to install it with --nodeps option.

My first impressions:
1./ Very-very slow on my machine, MATE almost flies compared to it
2./ It eats very much memory (over 700 MB, MATE only 220 MB)
