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

Seems like a regression in meson, and likely some other packages might have the same issue, based on bug reports that have come in already.

https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5050

In fact, there are quite a few issues marked as 0.50.0 regressions on GitHub. Perhaps downgrade meson again for now?

This may have been fixed already, but there is some friction regarding getting steam and Proton set up in Slackware. I was wondering if anything is done about this / whether it was fixed.

Edit: nevermind, still getting the error with meson. I previously posted here that I couldn't reproduce, but actually I can. However, it might not actually show up on -current. I am running on Slackware-14.2 with some upgraded packages, and it looks like the code path where the error occurs only gets executed if python3 bindings for cairo are not present on the system.

In summary, meson 0.50.0 is still buggy, but maybe it's fine to just keep it until 0.50.1 comes out (Pat's decision, of course).

Couple of things with the new freetype-2.10.0 slackbuild. The freetype.this.is.not.a.windows.system.diff.gz patch no longer seems to be needed. I tested it and it compiles without it, looks like it was fixed with this commit https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/fr...0aa633e2e882fb

Also enabling the patented sub-pixel rendering patch causes the build to fail. The option still exists, The patch just needs to be updated. Just FYI :).

I'd rather Pat spend his time focusing on the blockers for 15.0 rather than fixing things that aren't broken.

The response has been the same since the release of 64bit Slackware: multilib is not going to be part of Slackware64.

A regularly updated mesa... I'll be still using 14.2 instead of current if it wasn't because of the grossly outdated mesa, who would make many games just not work.

And multilib is nice, I am always afraid that for any reason if alienbob stops supporting his repos, we'll all be quite screwed :P. I'll rather have steam drop 32 bits alltogether tho. This multilib support has been a complete pain and library hell for me since the very begginging. (not on the distro part, but on steam. Sometimes using local outdated libs, sometimes using my sistem's). Another thing is wine. there are some few games who would only work in 32 bits.

I can understand why is not part of the default system though. Also about KDE5.... I recently rediscovered KDE (I wasn't using it since 3.5 and 2), and I sort of dig it now. I don't know how KDE5 looks like, as every single time I tried ktown it toally screwed my system, but I am a bit sad 4 is not supported anymore. I quite like it, and hope 5 will live up to my expectations!

I used /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf to change 'Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"' and use EXA instead of glamor as a work around until it gets fixed, it works but glamor is the recommended and supported option so i hope i can switch back soon.

I got also myself some kind of rendering problems with a Radeon HD3100 (integrated on motherboard) and building the driver from GIT fixed my issues.

talloc-2.1.16-x86_64-1 still had these libs in /usr/lib64/:

Code:

talloc-2.2.0-x86_64-1 only has:

Code:

usr/lib64/libpytalloc-util.cpython-37m-x86-64-linux-gnu.so.2.2.0

usr/lib64/libtalloc.so.2.2.0

No more libpytalloc-util.so?

I tried to recompile samba-4.10.0 with the samba.SlackBuild, but it fails with:

Code:

ERROR: Target 'pytalloc-util.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu' in directory /tmp/samba-4.10.0/lib/talloc re-defined as LIBRARY - was SYSLIB

No idea how to fix that. :-(

2019 March 24 - GNU nano 4.0 "Thy Rope of Sands"

An overlong line is no longer automatically hard-wrapped.
Smooth scrolling (one line at a time) has become the default.
A newline character is no longer automatically added at end of buffer.
The line below the title bar is by default part of the editing space.
Option --breaklonglines (-b) turns automatic hard-wrapping back on.
Option --jumpyscrolling (-j) gives the chunky, half-screen scrolling.
Option --finalnewline (-f) brings back the automatic newline at EOF.
Option --emptyline (-e) leaves the line below the title bar unused.
<Alt+Up> and <Alt+Down> now do a linewise scroll instead of a findnext.
Any number of justifications can be undone (like all other operations).
When marked text is justified, it becomes a single, separate paragraph.
Option --guidestripe=<number> draws a vertical bar at the given column.
Option --fill=<number> no longer turns on automatic hard-wrapping.
When a line continues offscreen, it now ends with a highlighted ">".
The halfs of a split two-column character are shown as "[" and "]".
A line now scrolls horizontally one column earlier.
The bindable functions 'cutwordleft' and 'cutwordright' were renamed
to 'chopwordleft' and 'chopwordright' as they don't use the cutbuffer.
The paragraph-jumping functions were moved from Search to Go-to-Line.
Option --rebinddelete is able to compensate for more misbindings.
Options --morespace and --smooth are obsolete and thus ignored.
The --disable-wrapping-as-root configure option was removed.

I only want to complement the newer firefox releases.
I had problems with firefox locking up my computer real hard that often required a reboot unless i was quick enough to kill firefox, but since firefox-60.6.0esr firefox automatically crashes the tab causing problems instead of locking up my computer.
Thanks a lot for this update, i can't find words to describe the relief i feel when it starts to hang and then i see the tab crashing instead of a hard lock up.
It doesn't always work but it's much better then before.
