Hi,
Do you have a low sound issue on the laptop? You can try using a remedy by Alien_Bob: Adding an ALSA software pre-amp to fix low sound levels Quote:
I'll setup on the other laptops later. ?? :hattip: |
Hi,
If you happen to use FireFox and wish to tweak a bit then look at 'Tweaking Firefox' thread originated by H_TeXMeX_H and contributions by other knowledgeable LQ members. This thread has a lot of content to help you tweak the browser. :hattip: |
Hi,
What a slacker learned from building Linux from Scratch.. is a good thread read and a potential project if you really want to learn intrinsic points of Slack by building a system. Sure, this is from LFS (Linux From Scratch Book 6.7) perspective. Hopefully that thread will lead to more Slackware forum member involvement. You could also look at Beyond Linux from Scratch (BLFS) project which continues where the Linux From Scratch book finishes. The BLFS book introduces and guides the reader through additions to the system including networking, graphical interfaces, sound support, along with printer and scanner support. Alien_Bob used Cross Linux From Scratch to bootstrap Slackware64 on a 32-bit Slackware during development. I hope Eric will share the experience(s) with us. :hattip: |
Hi,
LibreOffice is a current Slackware forum thread that is informational. OpenOffice & LibreOffice are two Open Source Projects that most Slackware users are aware of but should decide for themselves which to follow or choose. From OpenOffice wiki; Quote:

Hi,
For those that want to tweak FireFox: tweaking the **** out of firefox 3 would be the place to look. H_TeXMeX_H has done a real good job along with other contributors. :hattip: |
Hi,
Two week old news, but if you need the new 'flashplayer browser plugin'. Alien_Bob has created Slackware packages for the flashplayer (32-bit & 64-bit), you can grab these at http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/flashplayer-plugin/. The packages install the plugin into the generic mozilla plugins directory so all mozilla based browsers will be able to use it. :hattip: |
Hi,
My TODO list is sooo big! I just now installed LibreOffice from Alien_Bob's new server; Grab the packages here: http://slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/libreoffice/ or use his fast mirror at http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...s/libreoffice/ I'm impressed! Clean, crisp and fast. :hattip: |

Hi,
I've noticed a lot of new users are showing interest in SlackBuilds Packages. Some are having problems that would not occur if they would follow these instructions: SlackBuild Usage HOWTO. If you should want to create a SlackBuild then what Alien_Bob posted should make things easier; Quote:

Hi,
'New tutorials for installing and configuring Slack ' is a thread for a great tutorial: http://genek.net/LinuxAdventures/ins...allation1.html by 2handband. I recommend that all should look at this new tutorial for Slackware. Great for everyone! Newbies will learn a lot by following the sections within. As for the experienced users, it's a good place for us to recommend corrections or suggest areas that concern you. I for one participate with 2handband on subjects that I'm interested in: Slackware! Several other members have participated. 2handband doesn't bite to hard. :) Always room for improvement! So give it a read. "Knowledge is of two kinds. We Know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it."- Samuel Johnson :hattip: EDIT: http://genek.net/LinuxAdventures/sysadmin/index.html is new link for tutorial for now. |
Thanks for your good work in this thread, onebuck. Congratulations on your recent well-deserved promotion. :)
