No such package: . Can't remove.

Try changing to the /var/lib/pkgtools/packages directory first.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear that I did that next where it of course worked. Regardless it was an unexpected failure and I thought it was worth mentioning.

removepkg only takes a _single_ packagename as its argument, so you'll have to use a loop, like

Code:

for pkg in haskell-*

do removepkg $pkg

done

The problem was that I was feeding it a literal "haskell-*" instead of all the haskell-* packages since I was in the wrong directory and the glob didn't match any files. My suggestion was just so that it would not fail in an unexpected manner, my usage was wrong regardless.

SDL2-2.0.9 broke ArxLibertatis and maybe other C/C++ programs, but this is already fixed in the SDL2 mercurial master.

I resolved this by applying the following patch to SDL2.

OK, the man page didn't give those ... (note: I'm not using -current, so this is from the pkgtools-14.2-noarch-13 package) and it explicitly has in the description:

Code:

removepkg removes a previously installed Slackware package, while writing a progress

report to the standard output.  A package may be specified either by the full package name

(as you'd see listed in /var/log/packages/), or by the base package name.

All about a single package name. I didn't check the code itself, but relied on that man page.

In Vulkan SDK, SPIR-V Headers are missing, could they be added ?
They are needed to compile some software (vkd3d for example).

Please rebuild alsa-lib for pure-alsa-system, the added patch fixes issues found with mpv, but it seems only the pulseaudio package was rebuilt.

From https://packages.slackware.com/:

Code:

1        slackware/l                alsa-lib-1.1.7-i586-2.txz        452K        alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture library)

2        extra/pure-alsa-system        alsa-lib-1.1.7-i586-1_alsa.txz        452K        alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture library)

I spent a lot of effort debugging this before I realized alsa-lib just didn't get rebuilt...

The compiz-reloaded team just released version 0.8.16. It would be nice to get the very out of date 0.8.8 upgraded. Or dropping it and letting SBo take it over to keep all the companion packages together would be ideal, but either option would be better than 0.8.8. Compiz is getting a little long in the tooth, but it still works well with XFce and Mate.

I don't know whether this has been reported before. At least I couldn't find anything.

The mirror mirror.switch.ch listed in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors for Switzerland is closing down. It might be a good idea to replace it in the file. The best alternative I could find was Init7's mirror:

If you want that you can easily set it yourself, either systemwide, i.e. in a
/etc/profile.d/pager.*
file or locally in your own login scripts.

For instance I've got a set of /etc/profile.d/proto.* scripts that set for instance defaults for less:
export LESS="-a -e -f -F -i -m -n -X"
export LESSCHARSET=utf-8

A -R option can easily be added to that first one, but I admit, to ME it doesn't make any difference in the way man pages are shown.

PS: proto is short for prototype, the "default" environment settings I want for all users including root. I'm not going to post the whole file as it's 88 lines long.

please unset CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM

Hello,

To be able to start the legacy Cicero TTS synthesizer, which relies on OSS only, with pulseaudio running, I had to package and install ossp aka OSSProxy, cf. https://sourceforge.net/projects/osspd/

But the ossp daemon starts only if the OSS device is not already claimed; and in Slackware kernel configs we have:
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM=y
For the records, this option was added in 2009:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/k...8.0/01543.html

To check without rebuilding the kernel I have included in the command line:
soundcore.preclaim_oss=0 cf.:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/sli...p/README.Slint

So, please modify all kernel configs for current and 14.2 on next kernel upgrade to have:
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM=n

As far as I know this has no inconvenience, and in future kernels possibility of preclaiming the OSS device will even be removed.
Best,

Stuferus

hi,

ill would love to see wide-dhcpv6 or dibbler (both ipv6 dhcp Server and Client) on Slackware, maybe as extra? :)
i also think a litte more ipv6 support with Slackware in general (config files like rc.inet for example) would be great.

Slackware for me is not only a Desktop but also a really nice Server or even Router Distribution.
thanks mr volkerding for it. :)

Hi,

while the stock (heirloom)mailx is still working fine, its development ceased in 2008.
Since 2012 development based on heirloom mailx goes on with s-nail.
In case there is interest for -current, i've submitted s-nail to SBo.
It works for me since some days as mailx drop-in replacement on 14.2.

To clarify, I wish F2FS support were added as one of the filesystems to format the drive as during the install.

How about a short list of packages to add to provide a more complete Xfce?

catfish
mousepad
ristretto
thunar-archive-plugin
xarchiver
xfburn
xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin

I am not an Xfce expert and don't play one on TV, so perhaps this list is incomplete. Anyway, perhaps Pat and Robbie will favorably consider the proposal to round out Xfce. :)

Burning optical media isn't such a huge deal these days, so xfburn isn't a must-have at all IMHO.
Re ristretto, I'd go for gthumb over it any day.
Re xarchiver, I've not used it in a long time, but it wasn't exactly stable or every useful in some cases back then. Change my mind.
Re thunar-archive-plugin, this one needs xarchiver if I recall correctly, so... I guess, see above :-)

Many times through the years Slackers have raised the topic that Xfce in Slackware is "incomplete" because of missing packages. I am neutral and the list was only a suggestion in the spirit of trying to help. As you are the lead for Xfce in Slackware development, I'm happy to let you and Pat decide. :D

re XFCE additions:
leaving out Whisker-menu would make more users unhappy
than adding Xarchiver and it's plugin (I use exclusively besides mc ) would make happy.

So, in the great scheme I'd go for Xarchiver (tool = boring) vs Whisker-menu (eye-candy = fun, and that's a paddling)

just my 2c

It is useful for us that occasionally want a hand free for a few sips of java. ;-) I rarely use it myself but it is also annoying for Ark to pop up while in XFCE.

KDE comes with a builtin file search in Dolphin, why not XFCE with Catfish? Also, I have ~60GB of PDFs. I much prefer a GUI for searching through them.

I tried to change your mind see how that worked that out. :-)
