It was tongue in cheek, what I meant is that it's been so long now that it seems a dead topic. Anyway, I'll quit polluting the thread now!

Could Thunderbird 68 still be included in extra or similar? Enigmail only supports upto 68. It's OpenPGP support doesn't integrate with GnuPG, and it may not be 'mature' yet. For example, I had a possible bug where I could not import a key's sub-keys without the master key (https://oguya.ch/posts/2016-04-01-gpg-subkeys/).
Additionally an optional plaintext subject line is [unsupported too](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...-email-subject), which causes compatibility issues with Protonmail users. Edit: Include note about subject line |

just upgraded to kernel-firmware-20201005
looks good, everything works fine again ... :) thanks |

I'm a new user of slackware, from my experience，Networkmanager‘s tray app “nm-applete” has memory leaking problem. Is that possible for the "netconfig" script to configure wlan interface using wpa_supplicant instead, thank u.

Speakup in Linux 5.9
Speakup is now in mainline in Linux 5.9, not in staging any more after all these years!
As an aside, the sysfs interface documentation for speakup has migrated to: Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-driver-speakup and spkguide.txt to Documentation/admin-guide/spkguide.txt PS other than that, the kernel 5.9 adds support for a ZSTD-compressed kernel, ramdisk, and initramfs in the kernel boot process. |
LLVM 11.0.0 is finally out:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llv...er/000089.html https://releases.llvm.org/download.html#11.0.0 Quote:

With the problems that the 5.9 kernel has with Nvidia drivers, maybe it would be better in /extra or /testing? (So that the speakup option is there for those who need it.)

They released a 5.8 compatible driver a few days before the "final" 5.8 kernel was made available. We will see...... :) I don't play games, but for the last 24 hours, plus, everything I do on the computer has ran perfectly with the 5.9 kernel and the "stock" nouveau driver. That includes running VLC, steaming video from Netflix and Prime (using Firefox), using VirtualBox to run winXp in order to use HP scanning drivers, LibreOffice, WINE, etc., etc. etc. |

Did you consider that's fair that the AMD and Intel users to be doomed to use ancient LTS kernels, just because the NVidia users to have their way? Hello! It was called development tree, because it is for development, where the beta-testers to test the latest and mightiest software like latest kernels and latest DEs like Plasma5 or XFCE-next, not Slackware Rolling Release! NOW, the slackware-corrent is the Super Maintained Slackware, but the development was almost ceased... Where's the old days when I spent the Easter in a Linux console, because some broken ICU updates? |
5.9 has not been confirmed as the next LTS (at least not that I could find online). If history is any indication, Pat most likely won't switch to it until it is confirmed as an LTS kernel.
That being said, again, if history is any indication, Pat won't hold back the progress of -current due to Nvidia dragging their feet. If he feels ready to upgrade the kernel, he'll likely do it regardless of whether binary driver support is available. Just make sure you keep an eye on the changelog so if the kernel is updated, you hold back on those updates until the Nvidia driver is ready. |
As someone who is using a legacy NVIDIA driver, GeForce GT 730 I would prefer the 5.9 if it's adopted go into testing. If not then fine, I will live with it and stick with the last kernel that works or NVIDIA releases an updated driver (it possible, they have in the past) or someone comes up with a patch. Been there done that too. I really don't want to buy I new video card. In the long run I will probably have to anyway.

Your card is supported by the most recent 64-bit versions of the Nvidia drivers. |

Yes the card is listed as supported on the Supported Product tab and listed in Appendix A as a supported card by Device ID; however, those drivers will not install. My card is not supported, it went legacy a few versions back. It is supported by the version 390.138 series legacy driver. It is not supported by the 450.80.02 or 455.28 driver. See https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ (GeForce GT 730 ID:0F02) This driver is supported until the end of 2022. |
The mysql.no.plugin_auth_pam.diff.gz patch for mariadb no longer applies, it can be replaced with this sed.

Please build mariadb with the system version of pcre so it doesn't get downloaded half way through the build.
Code:
-DWITH_PCRE=system \Code:
unshare -n ./mariadb.SlackBuild |

https://lwn.net/Articles/834297/ The the 3 google advisories linked on the above lwn article suggest the issues were introduced in 4.8, 3.6 and 4.19 for each of the 3 related CVEs. No doubt it'll become clearer when the dust has settled. I have CONFIG_BT unset in my local kernel configs, so looks like I was fortunate enough to dodge this one. |

Code:
# Use the system install path for spirv.hpp |
Please add graphene and then recompile gst-plugins-base against it so that an internal graphene is not downloaded during the meson configure process. It will also download some headers, but I don't think they actually are used by distros.

Hi and happy birthday :-)
espeak-ng and pcaudiolib both may be build without linking to pulseaudio, and may find their parallel place in extra/pure-alsa-system. Also while building i saw an error and the docs from https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-....md#building-1 tell: Quote:

Hi,
If possible it would be good to patch qt5 5.15.1 with fix for this: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-86604 It causes a nasty annoyance in multi-screen configurations. Edit: patch is this one Thanks, Luigi |
Checking f2fs file systems used for root in /etc/rc.d/rc.S
Quote of /etc/rc.d.rc.S in Slackware current:
Code:
# See if a forced filesystem check was requested at shutdown:
PS I have read reports of very long boot delay when checking a root partition using f2fs in some cases, but I still have to check that and anyway that'd be another topic. EDIT It seems I misunderstood "checking a read-only file system" which means a *mounted* read-only file system. This is true but only if the option -f is not used. I will propose a fix in another post. |
I just installed Current. It seems that we lack of Postgres, Nginx, Docker and nodejs. We have Apache and MySQL instead, just like in 2005:)
Correct me if I am wrong, but almost all production web servers these days use nginx or docker. And Postgres is de-facto database for Django, which is one of the most popular web-frameworks. I can install everything from slackbuilds, but shouldn't we have most popular tools out of the box? |
