Yesterday, after removing everything I had installed and doing a complete system upgrade (with --reinstall), I launched discord... and it still froze without error. After poking around it the /tmp/ folder, i found a strange discord-ipc-0= file. I figured, why not, and I deleted it, and voila, discord launched and everything worked. I chalked it up to my own ignorance and moved on with my life. Today, I built vlc from scratch, and then went to launch discord, and it froze again. I found the a stray file in /tmp/ deleted it, relaunched, and still... nothing. Now I'm getting frustrated. I clear out the discord folder in .config, delete the (again) stray file, launch discord. Frozen. I start uninstalling vlc dependencies that I'm guessing could be culprits, first jdk, then qt5, still nothing. Upon a ps -u av2zeal, I see a crazy amount of open xdg-mime processes, but I don't have a file browser or web browser open, so I kill them. I then had a thought... what if discord is querying xdg-mime but it is hanging or discord doesn't like the response it's getting. So, I run discord and kill xdg-mime and... everything works. My question is now, what could possibly be happening here? Do I need to reinstall xdg-utils? Does discord have some sort of bug? Is my configuration just unstable? Regardless, I thought I would post this for posterity in case anyone else runs across this problem, so that they don't need to spend hours troubleshooting something so silly. Also, any thoughts about how to fix this instead of killing xdg-mime when I run discord would be appreciated. Sorry for the long rant.

Thanks!

Hello,

Was there a change to the man2html script that causes it not to exit? I'm trying to build an SBo that is calling it but since the script never exits, the SBo hangs when man2html is called.

the man2html file (a perl script) seems to have changed last time more than one year ago... which script from SBo are you trying to build?

x2goserver

that hasn't been upgraded since a long time: I wrote the maintainer and he told me that he hasn't time to maintain it anymore so it will be removed from the repository.
the version on SBo for 14.2 is probably incompatible with the newer perl in current.

Hi,

The version of avr-gcc in current requires a version of avr-libc newer than 1.8.1 as even the simplest C program will not link. avr-libc 2.0.0 contains the necessary files for successful linking.

Thanks,
Randy

After editing the available scripts one can compile version 3.5.0.33 of the nx-libs (and they work in the sense that I get my X2go-client connected to a ubuntu-based x2go server at work) and the 4.1.0.1 X2go-client. (I have never tried to use the server)

The newest version of the library (nx-libs-3.5.99.17-1) fails on this error (after entering nxcompshad):
possibly because of these lines:
in the MakeFile. The Slackbuild changes all these lines, also in the scripts, but possibly need to do that somewhere else as well.
(Note: apart from version no, one has to edit the Slackbuild so that the work-directory that will be removed and cd-ed into, becomes "nx-libs-HEAD")

Using the lite-version of the library (only needed for the client; nx-libs-3.5.99.17-1-lite), compiling works with the same script. But communication with the x2go-server (version 4.1.0.3) at work does not complete and I do not get a desktop (maybe the version of the client I can use does not match sufficiently that of the newest library)

Development of the nx libraries has now moved to https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs.

The latest version of the X2go-client (4.1.2.1) as well as version 4.1.1.0 fail on If only I was a bit more knowledgeable of C-programming/compiling ..... maybe someone else is able to make this work

Thanks for reporting, Randy!

I just pushed updates on github for avr-binutils, avr-gcc and avr-libc: they will go in the main branch at the next merge (most probably next weekend).

I had to add optipng to update to the latest arc-theme in your SBo-git repo. http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14...phics/optipng/

thanks for that, my bad, I had it already installed where I tested the SlackBuild.

thunar-dropbox (currently at 0.2.1) no longer builds. This is no fault of SBO; it appears that its upstream maintainer has gone MIA. The issue is, it is no longer compatible with the gtk3 version of Thunar, which is shipped with Slackware Current.

The attached patch gets it to build; however, the app itself seems quite buggy. Quaere whether it's worth continuing to include in SBO or if it should just be cut as unmaintained software.

Thanks for the info, I was able to version bump the server script to 4.1.0.3, revert to a previous man2html and make enough changes to get it to build, but when I tried to do the same for the client 4.1.2.1, I ran into compile errors as well. Between this and the maintainer not wanting to update it, I gave up. I ended up using x11vnc (SBo) for the server and tigervnc (/extra) for the client.

SFML 2.4.2 does not build on -current, it fails with conflicting variable declarations in glx. I was able to fix it by version bumping to 2.5.1 and commenting out the FindSFML.cmake file move section (since it is no longer included?).
