Update Alienbob's chromium packages

Hi,

Eric has a urgent patch for his chromium packages users; Another Chromium 96 update to patch a 0-day exploit
Quote:
I have uploaded a set of new packages for Chromium 96.0.4664.110. The package updates for chromium-ungoogled will follow shortly, they are still compiling. This update follows on the heels of the previous one, and addresses a couple of severe/critical bugs.
One of them (being labeled as CVE-2021-4102, ‘use-after-free issue in the V8 JavaScript engine‘) is a zero-day vulnerability which is already actively exploited in the wild, according to Google’s report.
This is an urgent request to upgrade your package.
You can get the chromium and chromium-ungoogled packages from slackware.nl or its mirrors.
Eric
Hope this helps.

For various reasons, I have installed a Slackware VM yesterday. It turned out that I just can’t understand how network installation works (it won’t even find my network in a virtual machine), so I got the full DVD instead which worked better.

Sigh. Maybe some documentation on that would be fine..:

(I’m glad that I got LILO working this time! My previous attempt at running Slackware ended with me installing Gentoo instead.)

Hi YesItsMe!

Have you ran through the "netconfig" shellscript? You need to login as root (login direct or use su -) to do so or use sudo. Which Slackware version are you running 14.2 or current?

When you run in a VM shuldn't it then be seen as an eth0 device? Sorry my last VM was some time ago. I only ask because then you can try to run "dhcpcd" or "dhclient" as root (or sudo), as in my experience they autoselect the first network interface.

On current you also have the possibility of using networkmanager.

Finaly if some of these things have success you can use the mentioned "netconfig" script to activate the interface at bootup, if it is not a standard one it might be necessary to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf that it catches the right interface.

If you had gentoo installed you should be fine with editing shellscripts i think. And Slackware's are well commented usually.

I hope this helps.

Not yet. Let me guess: I should have read the manual first.
I'll try that!

15.0.

Probably. Even the full installation does not auto-configure the internet though, although I installed NetworkManager.
There probably is a way...

Yup. (I wrote my first batch script in 1996 and my first bash script in ... 1999, if I remember correctly. I feel safe with shellscripts.)

It should have asked you if you want to configure your network after the install, but of course if it doesn't you can get it working afterwards.

Nice to hear, welcome amongst us slackers, seems you had the right timing with the release of 15 right ahead.

It did, but it did not. Weird...
Well, I won't complain.

DistroWatch's popularity list - which is not more than a site access counter - is not a rating system.
In terms of rating, Slackware is already quite good.

Most users i know not liking Slackware:

1. Installs stable and uses it for about two weeks...
2. Discovers -current that everyone warns him/her not to use yet installs it still...
3. In about two weeks of daily usage breaks the system for whatever reason
4. "Slackware is not good"

I think i can smell them from a mile after all these years.

But yeah, No#3 isn't that bad at all.
