Re: halt
 

I fixed that problem (using the bare.i kernel) by opening /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and uncommenting this line:

# /sbin/modprobe apm

and rebooting.

Yes, that's true. A lot of guys don't modprobe apm and when they start to ask around what's the problem they get a lot of answers but non of them seem to help because there's actaully no problem :) Like Kovacs said. Open your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and find the line:
# /sbin/modprobe apm
uncomment it and here you go! The next time you boot up you'll be able to poweroff automatically. Actually you don't even have to reboot. Uncomment the line so that in the future you wouldn't have to modprobe manually and after uncommentig do a:
modprobe apm
and I think you'll be able to poweroff. Good luck! :)

Anyone notice my questions?:confused:

I got problem installing the bittorrent version 3.3 installer on w2k, n found this earlier installer from googling ..

http://web.newsguy.com/nstrom/bittor...L-3.2.1b-2.exe

After download, just click it, then it is installed, now am participate in downloading the slackware-9.1-install-d2.iso.

Download Rate: 10+kb/s, Upload Rate:~2kB/s
Total Speed Peak I'd seen: 395kB/s

Oh man, it is exciting ...
The total speed is increasing, it is getting midnite in here JKT..
I got the bandwidth of the cable .. :) it peaks to 609 kB/s, n keep increasing ..

Download rate: ~12/13, Upload:~2/3 kB/s ..
Connected with 26 peers, 38 seeds ..

You can specify where those files go in the /etc/swaret.conf file. You should not delete those files until swaret has finished running (it installs after the downloads), and it's a good idea to leave them there anyway in case you need to re-install anything.

Just move the files to a directory with more available space and change the location in /etc/swaret.conf.

Post Mozilla-1.2.1 'textbox freeze' workaround
 

I found 2 posts on this forum who also had this problem:

With Mozilla newer than 1.2.1 on Slackware, it would freeze if you were type in any text field. [url bar, options, inputboxes...]

You were told you were nuts but you weren't, this only appears on certain hardware and I found the workaround finally..

Before typing anything so it won't freeze, goto 'Advanced' / 'Keyboard Navigation' and disable 'Find As You Type'.

The same is true for MozillaFirebird (Phoenix).. except you can't get to about:config by typing it, the easiest way is to edit prefs.js.

You can all sleep easy now.

I think I'll stay with 9.0, why bother? 9.0 works for me.

I had the same reaction, last night I switched over the house laptop, 3 roommates... and today one of them mentioned that the cool background I had created for kdm was gone and the battery monitor in KDE looked different... that's it. None of us use Gnome and the thing's kernel was 2.4.22 before anyway so... yeah, kinda null difference. I liked the services selection option, that was a nice change. Dunno, I guess I'll keep poking around, I'll soon find some new cool slack chunk I could never do without I'm sure.

Cheers,

got the isos burned them and installed them
WOW slackware strikes again
fast powerful as usual
five stars

/me envy to all of you with ultra, mega, giga bandwidth...:(

bit was really fast for me
u just have it a long time conected +1h . . .

i dled all 4 cds in a night . . .

Yes, thats exactly what I think. I'm sure that slack 9.1 is great as any other one I've used so far, but 9.0 it was a great experience for me and it works really great and I think I will keep it for some time.
I solved the little probs (very little ones) I had at the begining (fonts and mouse wheel) by installing BitStream Vera Fonts and by modifying my XF86Config and I already have my desktop, notebook and servers with all security patches installed and working great, so....
- If it isnt broken dont fix it... :). I can think about doing some experiences on my desktop but never on my servers. I only upgrade them recently from 7.X to 9.0...

9.0 is great! :)

I sorted this problem out by uncommenting '#/sbin/modprobe apm' in, /etc/rc.d/rc.modules. (Find it under the '#### APM Support ###' heading.)
I didn't need to add acpi support.

do i have to download all cd ?
actually it's quite annoying to have many program installed which i don't use or same kind programs like kate, kwrite, emacs, vi, several shells. it's all the same.
