[Rebirth Competition] Slackware for Pandora 13.37 release thread.

[_David_]

I'm uploading the -current-5, with the brand new KDE 4.8.2 exceptionally shipped in it.


Upload should be finished in around 4 hours.


I noticed that some options are greyed in the now-embedded network manager. To re-enable them, edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and in the [main] section, add this line:


managed=true


Then reboot.


I'll add that in the next release.

I've tried to DL current 5 multiple times and failed everytime . You may want to check your file

Whats the name of the webmin package you compiled ?

webmin ^^


Just search in sbopkg after a sync.

What failed ? The dl or the extracting ?

The DL failed . Do you have google drive yet ?


Just search in sbopkg after a sync. << can you elaborate please

The problem comes from the openpandora.org server.


Sometimes it fails.


You just have to retry.


sbopkg:


http://pandorawiki.o...ram_from_source


sbopkg grabs the soucres, compiles them, and installs the resulting package.


No *cloud* for me. I won't fall into that crap.

cant DL the file , did anyone DL'd it successfully ?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Me.


Mmm this dl bug is embarrassing.

I dl'd SL4P-13.37-3.tar.bz2 with my Pandora this morning and it worked (took 3 hours).


Now i'm uncompressing it since about 6 hours on my Pandora.


Wanted to do it on my PC but I use Windows 7 and had no luck with my virtual Ubuntu, so ....

 

[gruso]

The only brick wall I hit running an Ubuntu VM on my Win7x64 lappy, was that Virtualbox won't mount internal SD readers. It only recognises USB devices. So I just mounted the card via my Pandora, heh.


This next bit is not really about Slackware but ties in with some MIDI testing I've been doing. Other post: http://boards.openpa...on/#entry144606


I got Timidity (both mine and seb's packages) & Seq24 up and running in Slackware. I didn't build anything, just grabbed binaries etc from existing PNDs and installed them manually. I'm running the rt-kernel, and hoped it would be the cure for bad MIDI timing in Seq24 and other sequencers. Turns out it wasn't, I saw no improvement.


Torpor mentioned SD I/O activity being a factor in poor MIDI timing. Unfortunately I can't get around this when running from a boot SD. Running everything (including rt-kernel) from NAND is the final test I need to do, but can't. That said, I'm getting the feeling that the rt-kernel is not going to be the magic bullet I was hoping for.

 

[BAFelton]

Had the same problem with Virtual Box, it did not recognise my card.


After 36 hours of 'uncompression' on the Pandora, it works for me.


Just a first question : how do you change the environment ? I chose XFCE and want to try the others.


Thanx for your hard work

 

[gruso]

36 hours, shiiiiiii

Cool, never tested those packages.


Did you configure the /etc/set_rlimits.conf ? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Realtime_process_management

36h ! Respect ^^.


As user:


xwmconfig


Then exit Xfce and type:


startx

Made a french tutorial for the installation here : http://caanoo.foruma...aller-slackware


EDIT : Oups, Houston I have a problem here





What can I do ? Even in root mode it doesn't seem to work.

Wow Awesome tutorial ! This is what Im talking about not the usual "try this / try that " lol

 

[_David_]

I tried current 5 and its look very good - but still no bluetooth ?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yeah, i'm lazy for now. I asked some questions about it but still no answer. I presume i'll have to dig it again myself.


For the error message, let the OP reboot alone. Should be smooth. Otherwise it may say your SD card isn't ext2 friendly.

 

[_David_]

could this ever work on SL4P http://cgit.sukimashita.com/totem-plugin-airplay.git/ ?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I don't know.


There's no totem slackbuild, but some people succeeded installing it, at least on x86.


Don't forget that airplay is a proprietary service from Apple, so you should have two good reasons to avoid it.

 

[mcobit]

Totem also runs on zaxxon but is too slow to be useable

 

[TrashyMG]

The first thing I do when I get a fresh install of Linux is uninstall Totem.. I hate that player and it's generally installed by default on several Distributions..

 

[Hoodoo]

Hey, these slackbuild thingies turned out to be much easier to use than I thought!


Built myself stalonetray for my fvwm setup, works like a charm.


Now I need FBReader and probably some smtp/imap software to make mutt worthwile and a bunch of cli tools I use. Will upload whatever gets compiled by midnight.
