GSlapt

grimx · 02-27-2010, 05:01 PM

I'm using GSlapt and when i update
for some reason it's not able to connect to
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-13.0/
all it says is it failed or its not available

Try a mirror. Downloading from slackware.com is not recommended and is I think frowned upon.

grimx · 02-27-2010, 05:19 PM

the only uncommented repos in my /etc/slackpkg/mirrors file
are

Code:

http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.0/
http://software.jaos.org/slackpacks/13.0/
http://get.gnomeslackbuild.org/gsb/gsb-2.26_slackware-13.0/

/etc/slackpkg/mirrors is for slackpkg mirrors, nothing to do with gslapt.

I think that must be a typo because *those* mirrors shouldn't be in that file.

grimx · 02-27-2010, 06:16 PM

yes it is a typo
these are the uncommented mirrors from /etc/slackpkg/mirrors

Code:

ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-13.0/
http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware-13.0/
ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware-13.0/
ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/os/slackware/slackware-13.0/

when i run slackpkg i get this error

Code:

does not work.

Why do you have so many mirrors un-commented?
You should only have one mirror un-commented for slackpkg.

Quote:

After install, you need to select ONE (and ONLY one) mirror to download packages from. Edit your /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and uncomment one of those lines or include your own mirror. Only FTP and HTTP mirrors are supported at the moment.

because when i run slackpkg it get the
same above error even with one mirror uncommented

grimx · 02-27-2010, 06:37 PM

I suggest that you stick with slackpkg as it is officially supported by Slackware.

And for 3rd party software sbopkg from sbopkg.org is good

grimx · 02-27-2010, 08:04 PM

when i run sbopkg -r i get this error:

Code:

Syncing with the remote repository into /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo/13.0.
rsync: getaddrinfo: slackbuilds.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3.0.6]

Rsync reported a socket error which may be due to
a problem with the LINK value in sbopkg.conf.
(The repo's LINK is currently set to: slackbuilds.org::slackbuilds/13.0).
Please check your settings and try again later.


All done.

grimx · 02-27-2010, 08:06 PM

Michielvw · 02-28-2010, 10:52 AM

grimx · 02-28-2010, 02:12 PM
