I think Pat is fully capable of skipping updates he doesn't think are necessary at this time. It's still not a bad idea to post about them.

I didn't see any lines to read between. It just looked like you were saying for everyone to stop with updates and that was it. Sorry I misunderstood

libindicator and libappindicator causing icon problem in Fluxbox.

FYI: It seems that libindicator and/or libappindicator mess with Fluxbox systray icons. Some programs like skype fail to display an icon, other icons don't work correctly (freezing menus). Removing these packages solves the problem. I don't know if there is some other solution.

Emacs 28 is not too far off, but even if it doesn't make Slack 15.0, '--with-native-compilation' is the new default, which requires gcc to have been built with --enable-languages=jit (and '--enable-host-shared').

These packages came with vtown, so moving these to /kde would give a fluxbox user the ability to avoid that issue by blacklisting /kde in slackpkg.

Hi, a remark about a suggestion from a few months ago.
In case this happens in this release or later, I would advocate for separate scripts for --hctosys and --systohc or some configuration file to achieve the same choice.

On x86*, I can see 2 use cases where you want to deactivate systohc from rc.6 while keeping hctosys.
1. You use the alarm (/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm) to wakeup the system and if you do a systohc after setting the alarm, the alarm is cancelled.
2. You set your hwclock once and then you don't use ntpd in continue mode and you tweak your hwclock by adjusting the drift in /etc/adjtime.

it seem opensuse have a patch, for this, in the src rpm:

http://download.opensuse.org/source/...98-1.2.src.rpm

the patch is named 'xappstatusicon.patch'

no tested here, i doesn't use fluxbox.

Question testing setup

I've tried to install -current and this showed up in one of the consoles during setup:

Code:

Possibly this is expected behavior or BB syntax has changed since the setup application was reviewed.

More testing on Fluxbox systray icons problem.

I did some more testing, it looks that the problem exists only when both packages are installed. Removing just one of them (doesn't matter which one) solves the problem.

(And this happens because libappindicator uses libindicator... )

Code:
/usr/lib64# ldd libappindicator3.so.1.0.0 | grep libindicator
	libindicator3.so.7 => /usr/lib64/libindicator3.so.7 (0x00007f2c2445a000)
/usr/lib64# ldd libappindicator.so.1.0.0 | grep libindicator
	libindicator.so.7 => /usr/lib64/libindicator.so.7 (0x00007f18f8335000)

Another late installer initrd request: add /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/9p/9p.ko, the Plan 9 filesystem driver, to allow for mounting filesystems from the host inside QEMU virtual machines. This makes it so much easier to supply a package tree, tagfiles, etc. to the VM guest during install. Thanks for any consideration!
