Slackware inside Pandora.

Great you enjoy it ^^.


Like most Linux distros, there's no default firewall.


I provided some default ones, to use them, check this:

Cool, but how do I turn off port 6000? on my debian machine, I just enter: startx --nolisten tcp


Would that work on Slack?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yup, log out from Xfce and test, if it works, edit your .bash_profile in your home folder.

Doesnt X bind only localhost by default anyway ?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Not here, nmap from outside reports it's open.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

How is handled the screen saver under Zaxxon ?


I looked around, bun found no clue.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I've resumed the work on -current, as the changes are significant enough to spend time on it.

So it works very well minus the omapfb X driver which doesn't compile (for now).

The touchscreen bug is gone and it's a very good thing.

I'll produce an image in a few days.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Compiled omapfb after having manually applied the Gentoo patch:

Unfortunately, X segfaults:

I'm currently uploading the first -current since the 14.0 release.

As far as i've tested, it kicks asses.

I've compiled some extra packages.

Feel free to test and report.

Upload finished in 3 hours:

http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=sl4p%2Fsl4p-current%2Frootfs

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I've uploaded a new -current, which includes the latest stable KDE, aside the default Xfce and many other window managers:

http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=sl4p%2Fsl4p-current%2Frootfs

 

[ingoreis]

Wohoo....i downloading now ^_^

 

[ingoreis]

Hi sorry for the Doublepost but i tried the Current and have a Error,

GKSU is not working for me with following Error:


Failed to comunicate with the gksu-run-helper
when i start gksu in Terminal have i


locale not supported by the C Library
using the 'C' locale
Had you that error too?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It's normal, i didn't compile all the packages i ship with the stable one.

 

[ingoreis]

Ah i see thx for Information

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Some news from the -current front. I build a test version from time to time.

Omapfb X driver now works thanks to the patch i found on Cloudef's repo.

I use again 32bit color, as i've noticed no problem with any pnd, and overall colors are better, especially Qt stuff.

I may consider Konqueror as the default file manager. The first run is a bit long, but after that, it's ok.

I'll have to test it on a CC unit to see if the memory usage doesn't hurt too much.

There's indeed a problem with gksu, i'm on it.

I rewrote this and that in my build scripts to make life easier.

For now, -current is great, and i'll probably upload a new version soon.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

New -current release 3 is out.

http://slackware.openpandora.org/pandora/index.php?dir=sl4p%2Fsl4p-current%2Frootfs

Gcc-4.8.1, and many updated packages from Slackware ARM.

Have no clear fix for gksu now, digging out some possibilities.

One of them is to install necessary kde programs for kdesu, ln -s to /usr/bin/gksu et voilà.

 

[ingoreis]

Oh cool i will try it this Evening.
Have you GLX now working?
I ask this because the Dreamcast Emulator Lxdream found on last tries none
Had readed anywhere that you fixed much with Gles,GLX and and and.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Fixed nothing GL-related ^^.

It's the proper X driver which is back to normal now.

 

[ingoreis]

I tried this with KDESU but it dont worked here.
When i am at home this Evening very late,will i Post the Messages why it did not work.
Must i Compile KDESU?
Or have you a precompiled binary?

BTW: Have you tried to install the newer Kernel from actual Zaxxon?
Because Notaz have patched Wlan and that is much faster now
Or the newer GL Drivers from Notaz Driver PND in Slackware?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Kdesu is part of KDE.

I produced a new release with the new kernel, but didn't upload it to the server. I will soon.

No new GL for now. Where are they ?
