How about enabling of CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK withing kernel?
Code:
CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK=y
This option is exceptionally useful for creating a "super-swap", in the form of a ZRAM device (compressed SWAP device in memory) backed up with a real SWAP partition.
The end result is ability to create a really fast and efficient memory SWAP design, doing something like
gdk-pixbuf, glib-networking, libsoup etc. are coming out these days brand new I hope we are still in time to get all those gtk/gnome stuff updated.
I noticed several of the new gtk stack had releases out, but there were still quite a few lagging behind, so I thought I'd give them a few days to settle out.
Sometimes the stray cat from installpkg complains about broken pipe. It is quite visible in terse mode. Sending it to /dev/null wont hurt.
/sbin/installpkg
Code:
# The stray cat reduces the frequency of the lack of reported size.
# If it still fails, we hit it with a bigger hammer down below.
cat $package | $packagecompression -dc | LC_ALL=C dd 2> $TMP/tmpsize${MCOOKIE} | cat 2>/dev/null | tar tf - 2> /dev/null 1> $TMP/tmplist${MCOOKIE}

Robby, yeah, all is comeing out step by step, since gnome is scheduled for end of month. So i wanted just to advise since its good
if we can have the latest stuff. More, I think we can safely upgrade all that stuff from what we already have since the changes
usually are not very disruptive. Thanks !
Another 2>/dev/null. In rc.cpufreq. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver doesn't exist in qemu VM.
Code:
# For CPUs using intel_pstate, always use the performance governor. This also
# provides power savings on Intel processors while avoiding the ramp-up lag
# present when using the powersave governor (which is the default if ondemand
# is requested on these machines):
if [ "$(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver 2>/dev/null)" = "intel_pstate" ]; then
SCALING_GOVERNOR="performance"

Hi Pat,
Could you please add the below to current?
1, new directory /etc/ld.so.conf.d
2, start the /etc/ld.so.conf file with the below line:
Code:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
This seems to be required by virtualbox guest additions.
As far as i recall, i also had to add a line for ardour in the past as well, so i believe other programs might benefit too.
Add sboui to the extra or an new contrib folder for Slackware. This is a nifty ncurses application for installing programs in Slackware with resolving dependencies.
