LinuxQuestions.org - Requests for -current (14.2-->15.0)

Reinstall the krb5 package. Probably aaa_libraries was installed after it and clobbered the library versions in the krb5 package (which unfortunately do not properly increment a minor library version with new releases).

To clarify: You can also get this error if you never installed the krb5 package in the first place. (I know, we are supposed to install everything, which is why I haven't mentioned this before.)

Prior releases of Samba, and everything else I use, worked just fine without the krb5 package installed. They either didn't need it at all or they used the one in aaa_libraries. When Samba was upgraded, suddenly the version in aaa_libraries wasn't good enough for it, and you need the version in the krb5 package.

So the solution is: install (or reinstall) the krb5 package.

I do not think that Kerberos or LinuxPAM are (or could be considered) optional packages on Slackware-current, because they are part of the system authentication.

Code:

Looking for openconnect in package list. Please wait... DONE



The list below shows all packages with name matching "openconnect".



[ Status      ] [ Repository ] [ Package                                        ]

  uninstalled    alienbob      NetworkManager-openconnect-1.2.4-x86_64-2alien 

  uninstalled    alienbob      openconnect-7.08-x86_64-4alien                



You can search specific files using "slackpkg file-search file".

Sorry I can't test this as I don't have/know an openconnect VPN to try.

I am not using slackpkg+, but to get KDE connection setting to work with openconnect support is required in plasma-nm. I am currently running AlienBOB's last release from ktown

Code:

plasma5-nm-5.19.4-x86_64-1alien

mkinitrd.conf enhacement

Hi,

how about /etc/mkinitrd.conf pointing to the installed modules rather than to the ones of the running kernel? Something in the lines of:

Code:

KERNEL_VERSION="$(ls -1 /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/kernel-modules-*-*-* | tail -n1 | rev | cut -f3 -d- | rev)"

That would cover the more common situation.

GNOME 40 around the corner

In case someone wonder, this is not a request to include the GNOME desktop in Slackware (I don't like it anyway). However several packages in Slackware are built from sources available in https://download.gnome.org/sources/, and they can be sorted by date of last update descending: https://download.gnome.org/sources/?C=M&O=D

So it will be easy enough to find which ones to update after the official release of GNOME 40.

Please add WPA3 support to the wpa_supplicant package.

dot.config:

Code:

# WPA3-Personal (SAE)

CONFIG_SAE=y



# WPA3-Enterprise (SuiteB-192)

CONFIG_SUITEB=y

CONFIG_SUITEB192=y

as the maildir format gets increasingly used even locally for mail storage, one may think about including a maildir patch in the alpine email client as described here :

http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/info/maildir.html

the maildir patch :

http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/pat...ildir.patch.gz

thank you !

Good idea. I prefer this code:

Code:

KERNEL_VERSION="$(readlink /boot/vmlinuz | cut -d- -f3-)"

re: mkinitrd suggestions above.

You're both making assumptions about the filename of the vmlinuz image. I'd prefer it left as is, but if you must do this then maybe
ls -1t /lib/modules/ | head -n1

correction:
atelszewski wasn't, as on second look he is using the package file name, but even there he's assuming that the user is using that package. I don't.

I have always considered /etc/mkinitrd.conf to be a convenience best left for the individual to configure.

I do not care about defaults as I do not use it, but the choice of how to set the kernel version apart from the running kernel will depend on individual use cases.

I modify /etc/mkinitrd.conf OUTPUT_IMAGE & KERNEL_VERSION lines as follows:

Code:

#OUTPUT_IMAGE="/boot/initrd.gz"

OUTPUT_IMAGE="/boot/initrd-$2.gz"

#KERNEL_VERSION="$(uname -r)"

KERNEL_VERSION="$2"

As root, I call /sbin/mkinitrd as follows:

Code:

mkinitrd -F 5.11.7

One of the other customization(s) is the MODULE_LIST="ext4" at a minimum. This is also how autoslackpkg is designed to build the initrd.

mkinitrd already has the -k option for that.

PS: Just looked at the changelog and I see we have pygobject 3.40 already, so hope is the last to die :)
