Procps-ng has pkill. It works similar to killall.

An update on our front,

In the upcoming week we will be making the packages available for use with slackpkg+
As soon as this is ready, I will announce it here.

Slackpkg+ repo has been made.
You will need to add below settings for the repo.
and do not forget to place the repo in the rest of the config
A 2 mirrors will be rsynced soon on download.dlackware.com (EU based) bart.dlackware.com (US based)

Mirror section

GPG keys section
What are our future plans:

We plan to make a stable release starting with the next stable Slackware, 14.2 or 15.0 (whatever number PV gives) - x86_64 only
our gnome3 version will be mainly decided for these releases by the gtk+3 version shipped in that release. (this could change)

The current tree will follow gnome releases, so we can keep versions updated of rebuilds that should be updated in Slackware's -current tree

as systemd will replace udev, its advised to manually upgrade this package

A slackpkg installation would look like this:
First make sure to download the lastest systemd-2xx version from the repo

make sure to checkout the settings.sh file (change it to your likes before applying)
the settings.sh file be updated to reflect the default settings (any changes for default settings can be requested)

Util-linux package overlaps shadow's chsh and chfn. Adding --disable-chfn-chsh in util-linux.SlackBuild will fix it.


Cheers

Hello bartgymnast,

Thanks for setting this up!
I'm only interested in testing PAM at the moment, so I have a few questions:
1) What are the minimal packages required to PAMify my slackware?
2) Is the default config set to allow traditional flat file authentication?

hiya ivandi, thnkx for the heads up, will takes takes into the next update

Slax-dude,

for purely pam, I suggest you ask ivandi.
he has a pure pam packages not build against systemd.
if not mistaken, cracklib, pam, rebuild shadow is all really needed.

and than every package you want to pamify

fixed in git

Hi All,

git has been branched as current-3.14 # This will be most likely the version for next stable Slackware

git master has been updated to 3.15.90
This is the 3.16 beta
Our planning is to start with this release to build with Wayland as default backend instead of X
The branch for this testing with Wayland will be targeted for the Slackware release after next.

The 3.14 branch has some updates on git.

Currently I am working on a theme as default theme, I would like to hear some reactions on it.

The activities version looks like this:

This is the window and menu theme:

Looks good Bart. Very clean UI stylization.

Hi Bart!

I have built Dlackware from a clean current install. One issue I'm running into is that I cannot login to Gnome from the GDM menu. I can do so fine when I'm using startx in the multi-user.target. The problem I have is that after entering the password, the screen goes black and it kicks me back out to the GDM screen. I even tried create a new test user with a clean environment, with the same result. Could this be PAM related? I'm looking through the log files, but nothing is sticking out so far. Any ideas?

Yes, it can be Pam,we had a problem with the configuration some time ago, but wr fixedit already.
Another thing, after you selected your user you have to choose gnome wayland session. It won't work with the standard gnome session. We haven't yet found a way to set wayland to default option.

I have tried all 3 options and it's still a no-go. This is the latest git version that I used to build it.

I take that back. On my virtual machine, using wayland works fine. However, on my desktop with an nvidia card, it does not. I'm thinking that this is more of an issue with wayland and nvidia.
