Hello community.
First: I am french and as you know, we are six feet under in English level. So I am sure that my text will have more grammatical error than words. So I apologize for it. SORRY SORRY SORRY...

So. I bought a raspberry pi 2 B+. It's good machine but a little bit slow... Don't care.

I install slackware as it's written here: http://rpi2.fatdog.eu/index.php?p=home
Of course, I install ntp AFTER reading there no rtc module in raspberry so "slackpkg update" failed... Of course!
Now two problems. One minor and one major.

Minor: if I do "slackpkg upgrade-all". All is fine BUT when I reboot, unable to access !?! System demand login and password again and again without any written error... So I upgrade only kernel packages. If anyone know anything about that...

Major: I bought a wifi dongles with RT5370 chipset because this one can realise ad-hoc instrastructure. But, of course, I don't see it in iw but dongle is detected in dmesg. There is an hope! So I would like to install the rt5370 driver with slackbuild package. And of course, when I try ./RT5370.Slackbuild,the script extract lib and do some make and now say " make[1]: /lib/modules/4.1.21-v7+/build: no such file or directory. Stop.
Ok clearly, the script is not for arm and/or raspberry pi. So the question is: is there anything that I did wrong and so I hope I can install it or I have to compil the sources? If the second answer is correct: shit! I don't know how to do that! I need tuto!

Thanks for reading all of this... If you can do anything...
Have a nice day!

Hi,

welcome to the geek-community

if you do this remotely by ssh, and you are root, this is found in the config /etc/ssh/sshd_config
you have to insert PermitRootLogin yes - that may have been changed in the last time ...

do you rearly have this kernel version ? 4.1.21-v7+
than you have to install the "kernel package" and do the link from /lib/modules/4.1.21-v7+/build -> /usr/src/linux-4.1.21

you may retry it than -

or get a clean comunity kernel and start on trying building your first own kernel ...
you could than change everythink you want to ...

maybe it helps

greetings

Hello. Thanks for the quick response (<- probably grammaticaly wrong)
Two new update:
- when I did all the update, I cannot login in local. I didn't try with the remote. So the problem is deeper... But ! Yesterday, I success in update the kernel by rpi-update. Now, I really run the 4.1.21. So, the news !: the dongle is recognize! Do you think I have to install the driver or let the kernel doing the job?

Next: I downloaded the Slackbuild package for hostapd (witch I need for access point). Installation ran normally and the compilation from blablabla.c was ok. Now the package is good. So I think I can compil direct from C sources.

For the rest: in the lib/modules I can found 3.18.9-v7-arm, 4.1.21+, 4.1.21-v7+, 4.4.6-armv5 and 4.4.6-armv7 directory. But in usr/src there is only linux-4.4.6 directory. To update the system I followed this link https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update . But, as I am newbie, I don't know exactly what it did. So perhaps, I forget something important link update links... But how I do that???

For compiling the kernel, I would try the experience with another rpi when the access point would be OK.

Thanks for all.
