[SOLVED] New Guy Here, Need help Installing Wireless Driver and changing Window Manager

kzofm · 03-13-2015, 08:56 AM

Hello Everyone,

First off all im new here, This is the first time I installed slackware. I have been tempted to use slackware for the last 6 years. Finally I have installed it. I wiped Debian off my computer and replaced it with Slackware.

Now, with that said I have a 3 Problems:

1) The main problem: I cannot install my Wireless Driver (which means I am unable to access the internet on my computer, (right now I am borrowing a computer so I can connect to my wireless router and use it).

I have tried searching for answers with no luck. On Debian, this driver was called "brcm80211" and I simply double clicked a .deb file and installed it. Unfortunately, here in Slackware I am only getting more confused.

Can someone find the equivalent of this driver in Slackware and help me with the installation instructions?

2) How can I replace KDE with fluxbox or XFCE? Right now I only have KDE, which I realised is too resource intensive for my older netbook. OR maybe install fluxbox/xfce and randomly switch between them before loggin in?

3) What is the normal way of installing programs in Slackware?
I'm used to "apt-get update" and "apt-get install program" in debian. Is there an equivalent to such commands in Slackware? If not how do I get stuff Installed?

4) Would I be better off simply re-installing the whole system, this time choosing xfce instead of kde and then finding a way to install my wireless driver?

Please advise,
Thank you.

for the wireless issue, can you provide diagnostics like this so that someone can help troubleshoot:

Hi. Welcome to Slackware.

Okay, first things first.

1. Can you run the command "lspci" and copy the output and paste it here in code tags so we can see which hardware you exactly have? The Broadcom chipsets are supported under Slackware but in various ways. Some use the free drivers with firmware, but some use the propriety OEM driver. Knowing which you have will answer the questions of which to use.

2. Open a terminal and run "xwmconfig" and select Xfce.

3. Slackware uses pkgtools which consists of installpkg, removepkg, upgradepkg, etc. Outside of this you have SlackBuilds.org packages maintained by the community which can be installed and managed by tools like sbopkg, sbotools, etc. I recommend sbotools myself, but that's because I'm used to the way it works.

4. No but removing the debian/ubuntu .deb package might be a good start, but reinstalling if needed is fairly painless.

Thank you for your reply, I will post this information in a few minutes.

1. You likely need the broadcom firmware. Have a look at these, becasue they might help. But getting the information of your wireless device would allow us to better provide you guidance. Post the results of lspci -knn|grep -A3 net to get us that information.

2. Run xwmconfig. This will allow you to select your default WM/DE for that user. XFCE should already be installed unless you purposefully exluded it from the install (it's part of the "Full" install).

3. There is nothing built in for searching for additional packages, but there are 3rd-party sites that provide slackbuilds, which are build scripts that will compile the source into a Slackware compliant package. The biggest is http://slackbuilds.org (commonly called SBo). I would recommend reading the HOWTO and FAQ and try a couple of builds manually. Once you understand how they work, you can switch to a program that helps automate that, like sbopkg or sbotools. There is also an addon for slackpkg (used to keep Slackware up-to-date) called Slackpkg+, which can add 3rd-party repositories and will provide you with pre-compiled programs from places like http://slacky.eu and http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/ (Alien Bob is Eric Hameleers, who is one of the core Slackware developers), so his packages are generally high quality.

But I would recommend learning how slackbuilds work and get a general idea of how to compile programs, because there won't be precompiled or generated slackbuilds for every piece of software out there that you might want to install, so it's a good idea to get familiar with the process in case you need to do it manually (plus it is a great learning exercise). The HOWTO on SBo and information on http://docs.slackware.com can provide you a great starting point.

I have gotten the result of lspci, unfortunately I don't know how to post in code tags so I'll post it as it. Will try your other suggestions as well.

what happens when you run

Code:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

.

then run the source net-diag.ksh again ?

code tags: highlight the text and clik on the # symbol.

are there any capacitive buttons on the laptop that must be illuminated to enable wifi ?

Code:

rfkill list

Nope no capacitive button. The is a button, but that relies on asus software to actually work. In other words, they have been dysfunctional since I wiped windows off my computer 4 years ago. Been using Ubuntu and debian, never needed the buttons for wireless.

This thread should help you out with your wireless set-up.

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

From your output above the radio is working since you do get a scan. You may just need to configure the 'wlan0' device for your network.

Look at: http://docs.slackware.com/

Quote:

Configure your new Slackware System; how to proceed after the installation has completed.

You will find, Configure your Network for both wired and wireless connectivity.

Graphical Network Configuration Services seems to be a choice for most users.

I prefer the manual configurations.
Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

Yes that is the name of my router. What do you mean by DHCP into it? I an unable to access it via the browser. I cannot ping it either, it says network is unreachable.
