Its a known bug. Why dont you contribute to the bug report instead of yelling at the slackware team to not include plasma5?

I know that's a known bug. And I know that they known many other bugs.

I'd just state that Plasma5 is broken and, in my humble opinion, not worth yet to be included in Slackware, because it is, well... broken.

We must include a broken software, or try to fix it upstream, instead to just use the proper ones?

What is proper for you? KDE4? There is no software left that uses qt4.

It is not our fault that KDE4 is "obsolete" today, while Plasma5 is not ready yet.

And there is is an entire World full of software which does not depends on Qt5 or Qt4. However, I believe is nothing wrong to adopt Qt5 - BUT only that, nothing more.

To be honest, I am of opinion to go back to roots and to remember the old good Slackware slogan: it is ready when it is ready.

It is ready. Except for you and your shitty graphics card.

For example, the font issues from Plasma5 has no connection with the graphics card which is used.

And there are many other issues which has no connection with the graphics card which is used.

See some other there: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post5870903

Its a known bug and you know how to work around it. This is not the first time a buggy software can be included in Slackware. Use another terminal. I know about four that is included in Slackware. You need a editor? Use Emacs, also included in Slackware.

What other buggy software is in Slackware? Are there issue reports for these? Ideally buggy software should be fixed or replaced by something less buggy. Also one program with bugs is never a good argument to add other software with bugs.

Thunderbird does not remember the last window position

Could you please take your conversation somewhere else Darth Vader and stoffepojken? This thread is for requests not arguing about Plasma and "buggy software". TIA

Agreed. I'm getting really sick of reading this stuff in every thread.

Any chance of getting AlienBOB's multilib glibc/gcc, and compat32-tools merged into slackware64 proper?

I do get why Slack would want to steer clear of merging something like slackpkg+ and all of the pre-built *-compat32-* libraries into the main tree, although it does simplify the process of getting multilib up and running - it would add a whole load of new baggage into slackware proper.

But AlienBOB's multilib gcc/glibc and compat32-tools are absolutely invaluable for getting a multilib system up and running. The user would then still be required to convert the 32-bit packages from slackware(-32) into their own system anyway, in that instance.

Patrick Volkerding said multiple times that he does not intend to transform the Slackware64 in a Multilib solution, so it will stay pure 64-bit, and that's a design choice made even before the creation of Slackware64.

I bet that Slackware64 will be always a pure 64-bit operating system.

I agree multi-lib all that hard work Eric did will soon pass.
