cryptsetup v2.0.5
 

SW-Current is now on v1.7.5

The cryptsetup v2+ added support for Forward Error Correction (FEC) as used on almost all newer Android devices and is thus needed when working on Android images.

I'm not sure that all Python packages are compatible with python3-3.7.1

You don't need all Python packages to be compatible with 3.7.1. Just all packages in the distribution.

The problem with python 3.7 is an ABI changes , then some time wait to best compatibility.

crda-4.14

But , we are in 3.18 version , what reason to this?

Compilation fails?

Thanks!

What's the reason they haven't released at the usual location?

https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/crda/

According to the git log the only difference between 3.18 and 4.14 is the .gitignore file and a one line -Werror fix.

Some time ago wget got l/libunistring dependency.
l/tagfile still says "libunistring:OPT".

Is it good idea to change "libunistring:OPT" to ADD or at least REC?
Is it good idea to add /usr/lib*/libunistring.so.* into aaa_elflibs package?

Me vote for both. :-)

Anybody try installing the VirtualBox GA with the 4.19 kernel just added in Current?

I tried today. The shared folder module fails to build. The VirtualBox change log for 5.2.20 implies support for 4.19.

The 4.19 kernel has been running on this box for 6-1/2 days now without so much as a hiccup or a sneeze.....

Are you running Current on bare metal or virtual? I am running Current in a virtual system.

Bare metal.

Please built all speakup modules in generic kernels.
 

Due to a bug, if all speakup kernel drivers are modularized, speakup_synth fails to be loaded.

As a consequence blind users relying on the speakup software synthesizer (i.e. most of people using speakup) do not have speech if they use a generic kernel.

Unfortunately, the patch submitted by Samuel Thibault won't make it before kernel 4.21, cf.:
http://linux-speakup.org/pipermail/s...er/061509.html

I have rebuilt a 4.19.0 generic kernel with these drivers built in:With it have speech at log in.

So please make this change in next kernel update, if possible for both -current and -stable.

Best,

PS I made this test on a system based on Slackware64-14.2, but I don't think that matters.

upnort,
VB 5.2.21 guest additions builds fine with 4.19.
You can try upcoming 5.2.21 from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

I noticed this MPlayer flaw still hasn't been patched (I guess the feature is in the packaged version):
https://it.slashdot.org/story/18/10/...-vulnerability

live555 is not in Slackware and MPlayer provided in Slackware doesn't ship its own version.
besides that, also if they were linking against live555, the first url in the article you linked says:

I'll change the status from OPT to REC at some point soon, though I'll note that none of those tags are any guarantee that dependencies in Slackware will actually be met. Only a full install is.

Since libunistring is a rather large library I'm not inclined to add it to the aaa_elflibs package, especially since wget isn't part of the A series. And again, I'll note that these series divisions are largely legacy and shouldn't really be paid much attention.

Hmm. Not for me. :(

Running VBoxLinuxAdditions.run from the GA ISO results in:

VirtualBox Guest Additions: modprobe vboxsf failed

No build errors in any logs. :scratch:

vboxvideo and vboxguest are fine.

upnort,
do you

1) download upcoming 5.2.21 (not actual release 5.2.20), when writing it is:
https://www.virtualbox.org/download/....21-126141.iso

2) connect it to VM (via VM Devices - Optical Drives menu)

3) mount it inside VM
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

4) run
# /mnt/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

(1), (2), (3) may be download inside VM and loop mount

?

UPDATE: vboxsf error should gone after reboot, please test this.

Please just let me know if I can do something more that would help getting this upgrade in.
We've been using the v2 series for a while now (with focus on Android image files).

Yes to all questions. :)

Are you sure the Guest Additions are still beneficial with an up-to-date distro?

I was strugging with Ubuntu 8.10 in VirtualBox until I realized that I wasn't actually supposed to install the Guest Additions, and it was working perfectly without them. My impression is that the newer X and kernels already provide their functionality.

I don't know. I probably misplaced the memo. :)

I find vboxvideo.ko and vboxguest.ko modules in /lib/modules/4.19.0 but not vboxsf.ko. The vboxsf.ko module is needed for shared folders. Is vboxsf.ko supposed to be pre-installed? I don't know but I do not see a vboxsf configuration option in the kernel config. I only see CONFIG_VBOXGUEST and CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO.

So seems the newer kernels provide limited VirtualBox support. Seems the GA ISO is still needed to add shared folder support.

I created a new Current VM, full install. Powered off and created a permanent shared folder. As expected, upon starting the VM there is no vboxsf module loaded.

I inserted the 5.2.21 GA ISO, mounted. etc. Upon running VBoxLinuxAdditions.run I am greeted with a confirmation message to install the drivers because the script detected the built-in kernel modules.

Replying no quits the script and again there is no shared folder module. Replying yes builds new modules that are installed in /lib/modules/4.19.0/misc.

Same failure message. Yet the run script did create all three modules as well as /media/sf_tmp with chmod 770 and chgrp vboxsf. So seems the problem is not with compiling.

When manually loading the vboxsf module I receive the following error output:

ERROR: could not insert 'vboxsf': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg).

Running dmesg shows a slew of Unknown symbol errors.

I tested the 6.0 beta ISO. Same results.

Some VirtualBox tickets address the problem. Resolution is supposed to be use the latest test ISO.

The setup log contains no build information to help debug.

upnort
how about vboxsf and reboot? Are there any errors from vboxsf after reboot?

I am wondering if this issue is addressed in the next Slackware / Audacious inclusion. I made a thread about this (which escapes me in trying to find it for more info), but the gist of it was when I would choose the OpenGL Spectrum Analyzer in Audacious - it would crash. It had something to do with NVIDIA drivers, and the solution was to recompile audacious with qt I think? Well anyways here is a clue - this is from Slackware64-14.2 , trying to use the OpenGL spectrum analyzer in Audacious:
