It seems you didn't do a full install or something... We're missing some data: which version, on what situation, how was it installed ?

Edit: Btw didn't see, but use auto-completion in shell (tab) this will avoid typos like "verISon" instead of "verSIon"...

Post the output of these commands (executed as root):

Code:

which wget
echo $PATH

trangtrau · 09-29-2011, 12:34 PM

my slackware is 13.1, slackpg is slackpkg-2.82.0-noarch-2.tgz

Quote:

trangtrau · 09-29-2011, 12:36 PM

thank, I forgot install wget

Your system is missing wget (which should be the standard for $DOWNLOADER), which leads to the conclusion that you may be didn't make the recommended full installation. Install wget, and hope that you are not missing more essential packages. Better way would be to make a full install, until you come to the point where you know which consequences may appear when you remove (or choose not to install) a package.

Just install it with 'installpkg', it's in n/ on your cd/dvd.

NoStressHQ · 09-29-2011, 12:54 PM

Again: it seems that you didn't do a full install... How did you installed Slackware? Full install or not? Version of slackpkg is nearly irrelevant in your problem, you miss the package with wget...

Also for "code" or "screen dumps" and commands, use [ CODE][/CODE ] instead of [ QUOTE][/QUOTE ] (*)...

(*) btw, I feel stupid, couldn't find anywhere how to escape a tag not to be processed as a tag (I missed a page on those forum or there aren't any page listing all formatting tags?)

Edit: Spend too much time trying to escape those format tags, so this answer is a bit redundant... Sorry for that.

You have to use the [noparse] ... [/noparse] tags for that.
EDIT: You can see a list of bb codes for vBulletin here, but I don't know if all of them are enabled here.

Thanks man. Do you know where I could find a complete list of the tags on this site? I just found that it was "BB Codes" like there, but couldn't get the info here.

Edit: haha seems you answered me at the same time with the same link

... Ok thanks.

andrewthomas · 09-29-2011, 06:03 PM

EDIT: The thread that I posted in got merged with this thread and now my reply seems rather stupid.

I would try re-installing slackpkg

Code:

wget ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/ap/slackpkg-2.81.1-noarch-1.tgz
upgradepkg slackpkg

Then check the configuration file, /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf

stormtracknole · 09-29-2011, 06:18 PM

Somebody earlier had the same problem. You most likely did not do a full install. You need to install wget. It's in the n/ series on the dvd.

NoStressHQ · 09-29-2011, 06:40 PM

Well your starting another thread with the same issue... It's quite obvious you didn't do a full install, and anyway we're missing too much context information to be able to help you.

What's wrong is if you're a n00b, you should just do a full install, and not try to do tricky things. Despite it's (wrong) reputation, Slackware is quite straightforward to install and use.

Btw, if you're configuring an headless server on some dedicated server provider that the kind of information you should explain... *Anything* that is special should be noted.
