[SOLVED] Requests for -current (20151216)

Firefox 52.0 no longer supports the ALSA sound system by default and only PulseAudio works.

But if it is compiled with the option '--enable-alsa' then both PulseAudio and ALSA work just fine.

ap/mc-4.8.19-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

Woohoo!

Thanks Pat.

Tab <---> Alt-tab successfully remapped, and mc does tab completion just like a real shell. This makes soooooo much more sense now.

Of course it also helps when your window manager doesn't grab alt-tab so that you can use the combo to swap between panels when you run it in an xterm.

I'm sure many a mc user rejoiced this day, or at least, this one did.

Based on this post, teachjove, from the ap/jove package, is not working due to the documentation file not being copied to the correct location.

All that needs to be done to fix this is to copy the doc/teach-jove file from the source to /usr/lib{$LIBDIRSUFFIX}/jove/ folder.

Code:

install -m 644 doc/teach-jove $PKG/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/jove/teach-jove

Here's a quick diff of the SlackBuild:

Code:

diff --git a/jove.SlackBuild b/jove.SlackBuild
index 65714d3..6904dd8 100755
--- a/jove.SlackBuild

# Create jove-recover symlink
( cd $PKG/usr/bin
  ln -s ../lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/jove/recover jove-recover

I verified that teachjove works with this change (although, then I had to figure out how to exit jove

-- ctrl+x and then ctrl+c for any other who get stuck

).

Why "-c"? The install manpage says this, "-c (ignored)". I think you just need "-m", am I missing something?

I just copied it directly from the 12.1 jove.SlackBuild that Pat used. I wasn't at home to easily check building it (it is a pain to do stuff with my phone). That option does seem to have been deprecated since the 12.1 SlackBuild was generated.

I'll edit the post above to remove the -c.

orbea · 03-10-2017, 03:51 PM

Ah, thanks for the explanation, I haven't seen it used much so I thought I was missing something.

bassmadrigal · 03-10-2017, 04:42 PM

It looked a little off when I saw it, but I was too lazy to dig into it

There is a new version of xlockmore, 5.51

"Bouncing Bob", as defined in the /etc/X11/app-defaults/XLock, can work again if the --enable-appdefaultdir parameter is added to the xlockmore.SlackBuild script:

Code:

--- xlockmore.SlackBuild.orig   2017-01-09 11:59:31.000000000 -0800
+++ xlockmore.SlackBuild        2017-03-13 03:22:28.496341664 -0700

   --without-gtk \
+  --enable-appdefaultdir=/etc/X11/app-defaults \

 make $NUMJOBS || make || exit 1

The Small Bob bitmap looks good with the eyes mode as well as the bounce mode.
The Large Bob bitmap looks good with the maze mode.

Without using an app default file, one can always use the command line:

Code:

xlock -mode bounce -bitmap /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/s-bob.xbm
xlock -mode eyes -bitmap /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/s-bob.xbm
xlock -mode maze -bitmap /usr/include/X11/bitmaps/l-bob.xbm

Pidgin 2.12.0, is now available.

Pidgin 2.12.0 removed protocols that were not being maintained: Facebook XMPP, MSN, MySpace, Mxit, and Yahoo!. These will show up as unknown in your account lists until you delete them.

AIM is not breaking, update to this version to keep it working!

I'm trying it out now on 14.2. Redefining the Tab key behavior should be helpful, but the problem is that by now I'm so used to the default keybindings. I'll give it a little while and see if I like it better once I get more accustomed to it.

GazL · 03-14-2017, 05:22 AM

It's a hard call. I hate changing default-bindings because it tends to make you feel uncomfortable if you ever have to use a system/account lacking your modifications, but I also value consistency and logical choices for keybindings and this one is a big ugly in-your-face inconsistency between mc and bash.

Anyway, we're a bit off-topic here so we should probably take this to another thread or PM if there's anything further to say. I think I might have found a subject for my next blog entry...
