[Linux-SWAT]

Well, it's a matter of user's choice. I presume that this pnd works on Slack.

 

[ingoreis]

So Yesterday i installed very lately your Actual Version 3.
I am curious to Post this Evening the Error Messages.

My Linux Knowledge is not good,can you please explain what i have to do exactly to aolve that gksu Problem or sudo Problem?

When that work will i start again to compile Qemu Git and Wine Git

Thx for your hard Work Linux-Swat,i love your Slackware.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

su -

slackpkg update

slackpkg install kde-runtime

slackpkg install kdelibs

ln -s /usr/bin/kdesu /usr/bin/gksu

 

[ingoreis]

Report:

It worked ^_^

Thx ,now can i begin to compile the newest Things

 

[Linux-SWAT]

If you want, you can write here what you do as a reminder, and also to entertain us ;p.

 

[ingoreis]

Oki doki

First i solved that gksu Problem with your Help.

I have downloaded the Qemu Passtrough Experimental Lib from Linuxbochs and searched

Xarchiver to extract this Zip File...and searched and searched.....

then renembered i this Gslapt Package Manager ,started it,updated it and found it not in there.

Hmm it was in previous slackware Versions in?

Ok then downloaded i Xarchiver and compiled it and installed it with this gksu(now kdesu)

Ah now have i a archiver Software to open what i want :rolleyes:

Compiled his Branch and installed it.

Now i downloading the Qemu git ^_^

Edit: Wow Download Rates up to 455Kbs,the Slackware Version before had slower Speeds here :rolleyes:

Edit: so configured with that Options:

./configure --prefix=/usr target-system-list=i386-softmmu,i386-linux-user --enable-sdl --disable-gtk --enable-guest-base

I notized that this Time this Version did not search opengl,it searched GLX and found.

now its making/compiling for the next Hours :rolleyes:

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Use sbopkg to compile software like xarchiver:

[ingoreis]

Thx for that Hint
Btw: how do i mount my USB Sticks?it seem that Slackware dont automount them more.

I compiled Qemu and installed it,but all my Images are on Sticks.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yes, i've noticed that the automount doesn't work.

You have to boot with the stick plugged in, or mount manually.

I didn't check it yet.

 

[ingoreis]

OK i will this Evening boot with stick

 

[Linux-SWAT]

New -current on the way.

Automount is fixed.

Upload finished in 3 hours.

 

[ingoreis]

Yehaah Thx

I was silent last Days but another afraiding Thing ...

with Emacs Filemodifications got i LXDream to compile on Slackware.

There where Errors about "only glib.h can be included" or near.

I googled it and found that is a Error who can be often.

Then have i readed the Errors while make and modify the Files with Emacs.

But unfortunaly there is in LXDream the Error that GLX cannot open Display 

Now i am downloading the Wine GIT

 

[ingoreis]

Wine compiled fine.
Question:

When i have Wine on Arm and have the sourcecode from Sourceforge for Windows from Games....

...can i then compile them with Winemaker?
And using them as Arm Windows Binaries ?

When yes ist this a Door to thousands more Games on Pandora.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I don't know ^^.

Yes you can. That's what I have done with XMSol and Takaeda's emulator.

But (there is always a "but"), I have seen that performances of Wine itself are not very good, it's not very efficiant in many graphics (like simple blit for basinc windows) & sound (the DSound mixer code for example). I started optimising a few thing, but I'm not finished. You should start with non-action game.

Hi little Question:

How can u activate USB Networking in Slackware?

I want to use my Mouse on the USB OTG Port

 

[Linux-SWAT]

For usb networking, it depends.

For now, i had trouble using it with the network manager enabled and never really looked into how i can make both work together.

So i usually chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager , uncomment modprobe g_cdc in /etc/rc.d/rc.local , and reboot.

For the mouse, well just activate usb should do it.

 

[ingoreis]

Cool i will try that after work
With Mouse can i faster work on Slackware

Edit:

modprobe g_cdc worked many THX ^_^

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Slackware 14.1 x86 and ARM are now in beta state.

Some news:

I create one private test version per week since july, and i modified many parts of my build scripts to provide a better release quality along a fastest SD image generation.

I've also highly improved SOLEIL, but i'll report in its thread later.

As usual, new backend software means some regressions. Here's the current state:

-no internal wifi (module loading leads to errors, zaxxon kernel)

-no omapfb X driver (patches needed for new X version)

-can't compile a working custom kernel (maybe gcc 4.1 problem, 4.0 was known as problematic with ARM kernels)

-some reported minor bugs not investigated

Overall, it's a pleasure to run, stable as usual, the touchscreen bug is gone.

I'll upload a new image soon and let you know. Any help is welcome.
