The lifetime of the directory MUST be bound to the user being logged in. It MUST be created when the user first logs in and if the user fully logs out the directory MUST be removed. If the user logs in more than once he should get pointed to the same directory, and it is mandatory that the directory continues to exist from his first login to his last logout on the system, and not removed in between. Files in the directory MUST not survive reboot or a full logout/login cycle.

I think that part of the xdg specification is written to work specifically for one reason

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...r#How_it_works

can I ask for which use case you think it will be useful to implement?

Hi,

I wasn't thinking beyond being specification exact.
Only that ;-)

My personal limited use case for compiz is to stop screen tearing with some wine games that have a broken native vsync when not using a window manager (Where I would use compton instead).

As Dider mentioned, he is using the 0.9 branch which does combine all of companion packages and extras into a single source. However Slackware is using the 0.8 branch which still splits all of the extra packages mentioned above into their own separate sources. Compiz alone isn't necessarily "missing" anything, it is just that the full suite of compiz packages make for a more robust experience. As far as the new 0.8.14 version of compiz, there hasn't been any ABI changes to the code so you can still use the older 0.8.8 with the newer packages if you want, but the newer version of compiz has better support for things like Mate, gtk3/metacity themes, emerald, and various bug fixes.

Also I have used both 0.9 and the 0.8 branches of compiz on 14.2 and in my experience 0.8 is still the more stable of the two, but YMMV if you wanted to try it. I will say that I do like that 0.9 combines everything into one package.

GStreamer 1.14.0 has been released!

What new? A LOT OF! MORE! Look here for more details. :)

gst-plugins-bad-1.14.0.tar.xz.sha256sum

;)

Also, maybe included into Slackware 15.0 x264 and x265 codecs from videolan.org :foot:

The software that will need to be rebuilt for use latest version of GStreamer:

pidgin
tumbler

:)

And army of software, that uses pulseaudio. :D

To speed up the build, listen to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP_oxc4WS9A

May I suggest jq (the command-line json parser) again?

My request for current:

terminus font 4.46.0. Need for update and include for use by default into slackware boot disks. :foot:

and

terminus-ttf 4.46.0:

slack-desc:

Code:

# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:

# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.

# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and

# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.

# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also

# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

Here's an initial attempt at an updated vulkan-sdk 1.1 SlackBuild. I haven't tried installing it and building stuff against it yet, but it does build a package that has the right files and that otherwise looks right.

Do you mean that the ttf version also should be included in the installer? To be useful that'd need either to ship X or a framebuffer like fbterm. I did the latter in Slint 14.1 but that needs to include additional stuff, not only a font. Also they themselves say that the ttf version one is ugly...

Before talking with enthusiasm about things like x264 and x265, you considered a bit the PATENTS issues?

Of course, I heard even myself that in Russian is no such word for "Copyright", BUT bear in mind that the Slackware, Inc. is a company based in Minnesota, The Capitalist America. ;)

Again. Request for Slackware-current:

1. Need to update terminus fonts to 4.46
2. Please apply my patch to setconsolefont (in attachment). This patch updates the list of console fonts available in Slackware Linux. :-)

I apologize for my poor English and for the incorrect wording of the previous request for terminus-font. :foot:

I'd rather suggest to get rid of setconsolefont and just set a terminus font by default.

I attach the script we source in the Slint installer in other scripts for several settings, see in it the functions SeTFonts and PutFonts, however as the Slackware installer is only in English it can be simpler: just use ter-120b if there is no framebuffer, else ter-116b and don't bother the user with a choice between a zillion fonts.

/etc/rc.d/rc.font can always be edited after installation to change the font and/or its size.

I'm inclined to agree with Didier. Most of the consolefonts are unusable. There really doesn't seem much point in giving people the option of choosing them when no one will want to. :)

Personally, I like a slightly larger font so I use ter-v22b which gives me a nicely sized 124x34 console on a 1366x768 laptop screen.

I use ter-v* because it provides support for more glyphs than ter-1*

I can recompile and assemble Slackware myself. All. From scratch, from another GNU/Linux distribution. For another platform.

But if I asked to include it in the basic delivery, then this is why it is necessary. :-)

At the moment there is no terminus-font in the dialog setconsolefont at all. No version. No terminus font. :-)

I will be satisfied with any option with terminus-font out of the box, without having to go into rc.font and rc.keymap. :-)

If you need a menu for everything and don't like editing config files, you're gonna have a bad time here.

Ha. Let's hope he will learn the Slackware way quickly and that won't be the case. Don't want to scare away the new people too much now. ;)

Thanks for the answer, Patrick. This is not for me. This is not only for me. This is for all users of Slackware, for which the English language is not native.

Every time, I climb there, it ends with a creating new fork of Slackware. :-D :-D :-D

Hi,

I'm too all for Terminus.
I'm using it on X terminals too.

BTW, which variant is best for having best Unicode coverage?

All terminus fonts include an Unicode mapping. For Polish, use ter-2* (mappings iso02, cp1250, codepages ISO8859-2, Windows-1250) or to get all available glyphs, ter-v as suggested by Gazl, cf. /usr/doc/terminus-font-<version>/README.

That being said, under X I'd rather just let fontconfig do its homework and select Monospace, with in ~/.Xresources:

Code:

Xft.dpi: 96

Xft.hinting:1

Xft.hintstyle:hintfull

Other than that, DejaVu is not bad.

IMHO mate-terminal is the best, but I digress.

I have requested that Slackware be internationalized several year ago but failed to convince our BDFL. So instead I started the Slint project:
http://slint.fr/wiki/start?id=en/start
There is also a Russian tanslation but it needs to be updated:
http://slint.fr/wiki/start?id=ru/start

Main repository for the most recent version:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/
Read also:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/sli...EADME-14.2.1.1

PS Alexandr, I just started RTK Linux 0.7 alpha3 in a QEMU VM, Unfortunately it fails to complete the startup sequence, see attached pic.

Yes it is a development release, but from Thomas E. Dickey.

Changes since 2.8

It has been released today and I see neither major fixes in the Release Notes nor security fixes for this release among the known vulnerabilities so far(1), so I assume that upgrading is not urgent.

Meanwhile you can grab a package in this repository. Be aware that it's a repackaging of an official binary tarball (with 37 locales included) and that I didn't try it on Slackware-current. Use at your own risks.

(1) Assuming that this page has been updated for this release.

Hard to say. The release notes do link to the usual security page, and I've noticed in the past that it can take a while (sometimes days) for the actual list of vulnerabilities to appear there. I usually assume that there are security fixes if there's a release.

Thanks for the information. Meanwhile, we may assume that "we will soon have the first Thunderbird 60 beta available, which is the basis for the next major ESR release", to quote what Wayne Mery just posted.

PS: Yes, the security advisory for 52.7.0 has been published.

upgrade gtk-doc provided by linuxdoc-tools package

gtk-doc-1.26
https://download.gnome.org/sources/g...oc-1.26.tar.xz

This was mentioned by Orbea in another post but:

https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa > v1.2.0

Removes need for PulseAudio for BlueZ.

Hi,

For consistency sake, in /etc/rc.d/rc.M, maybe:

Code:

  echo "darkstar.example.net" > /etc/HOSTNAME

  /bin/hostname darkstar

should be:

Code:

  echo "darkstar.example.net" > /etc/HOSTNAME

  /bin/hostname $(cat /etc/HOSTNAME)

?

Hey, let's have FQDN everywhere ;-)
