Anyway, I still find it strange this is mounted in a new directory. What's wrong with good ol' /media/bla ?
It came from udisks2 multi-seat patch. I guess in multi-seat setup it's reasonable and useful, although I don't get why udisks can't simply do the same permission magic in /media. Lennart Poettering isn't the bad guy this time, but well, patch came from another Red Hat guy, so you'll never know
Upgraded to RC2, so far everything looks fine. I've noticed a small bug in "About Audacious" dialog box in Audacious 3.3.1 - the contents of "Credits" tab are:
Unable to load /usr/share/audacious/AUTHORS; check your installation.
and under "License" tab there is:
Unable to load /usr/share/audacious/COPYING; check your installation.
A quick grep through the source showed that an easy fix for this is to add in:
Code:
--datadir=/usr/doc/${PKGNAM}-$VERSION \
to the slackbuild. Not sure if --datarootdir might be the better option but the above change certainly resolves the issue on my system.
xap/sane-1.0.22-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to fix compiling against v4l-utils.
Changed udev rules to use group lp instead of scanner. It turns out that
this is likely what's been interfering with printer detection since we
switched CUPS to use libusb instead of the usblp kernel module. SANE
would come along and switch the group on multifunction printer/scanners
to "scanner", and then CUPS would no longer be able to use them. The
kernel module wasn't affected by this since it didn't use the raw USB
device node and didn't care who owned it. Anyway, making this switch
gets things pretty close to how they were before. The good news is that
printers should be detected and configurable without having to look at
lsusb output or writing custom udev rules, however, users will need to
be in group lp in order to use the scanner. We'll do this automatically
for console logins.
The user gets automatically added indeed to the 'lp' group. Only the 'adduser' dialog still shows the old list of groups, without lp. Maybe add it for consistency's sake.
Don't worry, /etc/slackware-version will be updated when Slackware 14 will be officially released, as well as .txt files at the root of the Slackware tree.

Thanks for the welcome .
Since the first beta, Pat has updated the version in /etc/slackware-version.
Code:
$ cat /etc/slackware-version
Slackware 14.0
I think the solution is to recompile xorg-server, replacing the parameters in the "configure".
