| redtricycle | kleanchap_: I maintain the slackbuild on slackbuilds.org |
|---|
| mancha | klean, i've played with it, it has the benefit of interoperability with windows |
|---|
| xverse | hehe indeed! |
|---|
| Urchlay | mrselfpwn: eh, I dunno, if it's geared towards high-end gaming rigs, it's got no place being installed on this old clunker |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | oh, it's one of those type computers? what specs? |
|---|
| redtricycle | =( |
|---|
| Urchlay | gentoo on a box with only 256M of RAM is kinda painful (lots of compiling, lots of swap use...) |
|---|
| redtricycle | So, i isntalled Windows XP on my laptop to dualboot |
|---|
| redtricycle | b/c I wanted to play games |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: well, sabayon is actually a binary distro |
|---|
| redtricycle | But...my laptop originally ran Vista, so WinXP drivers dont exist for some of the hardware |
|---|
| redtricycle | >_< |
|---|
| Urchlay | celeron 2.4, 256M, onboard crappy intel video chipset (at the time, AGP cards were the best you could get, but this has no AGP slot) |
|---|
| fire|bird | Urchlay: Sabayon you don't need to wait for stuff to compile. |
|---|
| redtricycle | kleanchap_: it's pretty awesome. Especially when you use dropbox + Keepass |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | mancha, I use it on Windows and want to move my desktop to work to Slackware. When I looked for KeePassX in SBO, I did not find it listed atleast for the SL13. |
|---|
| MLanden | Urchlay, emachine? |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: I'd look into it. Disable compiz (default it is iirc) and it should have no prob. |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | redtricycle, what is dropbox? |
|---|
| mancha | klean ah i see what you'resaying. if it's not there for v13 you can probably just use the v12.2 one |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | i mean, no distro will turn that pc into a lean mean gaming machine. heh. |
|---|
| redtricycle | kleanchap_: Dropbox lets you share files with different computer via the "cloud" |
|---|
| Urchlay | MLanden: I have no idea, the faceplate was missing before I ever got here. The BIOS is a Dell one though |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | redtricycle, I missed your earlier comment. Do you maintain the KeePassX on Slackbuild? |
|---|
| fire|bird | kleanchap_: The keepassx from slackbuilds.org for 12.2 works fine on 13. |
|---|
| fire|bird | heya MLanden, how's it going? |
|---|
| Urchlay | mrselfpwn: this would have been considered a lean mean gaming machine in 1998, 5 years before it was made :) |
|---|
| MLanden | heya,fire|bird....going good...yourself? |
|---|
| fire|bird | MLanden: excellent, thanks. :) |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | http://www.sabayon.org/pages/show/id/97 |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | One other development tool I am looking for SL13 is NetBean 6.7.1 (latest). Does Slackware have this IDE tool? |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | fire|bird, Thnx. |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: haha |
|---|
| andarius | http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.0/development/netbeans/ |
|---|
| MLanden | Urchlay, the memory pc100/133 or pc2100/2700? |
|---|
| redtricycle | Netbeans is awesome! Only because it's vim plugin is actually decent |
|---|
| redtricycle | =D |
|---|
| Urchlay | pc133 |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | ouch |
|---|
| Urchlay | and there's only two slot, and I haven't checked but I'd bet $50 that it won't take more than 512MB of RAM |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | ask him if he would like his very own home server |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | maybe he can host the games. ;) |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: most likely it won't take more than 512. it's a slot p570 ? |
|---|
| redtricycle | alienBOB's rsync patch script is pretty sweet... http://www.slackware.com/~alien/tools/rsync_slackware_patches.sh |
|---|
| Urchlay | mrselfpwn: I have no idea |
|---|
| Urchlay | I quit keeping track of CPUs and slots a long time ago, cause I quit doing PC repair for the most part... |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | i understand |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | See you folks back tonight again. |
|---|
| MLanden | later,kleanchap_ |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | Is there LXDE available for SL13? |
|---|
|
|
| MLanden | kleanchap_, check alienbob's site |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | anyway, i have about five distros on a usb stick i'm using and i'm thinking of making one to cover everything they do, such as f-prot, avast, etc, virus scans, gparted or qparted etc etc, and i'm wondering if I should take the time to put together a slax iso or make a full fledged slackware live cd to accomplish this. I've seen a little guide to do this though it was slackware 9.0 so i'm not sure what would be bes |
|---|
| andarius | umm, helix |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | umm, i'm looking for free |
|---|
| andarius | helix is free |
|---|
| andarius | they also offered paid versions |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | i think they went fully commercial didn't they? |
|---|
| andarius | no |
|---|
| andarius | I just checked |
|---|
| andarius | it is in their store and all that jaz, but the cost is 0$ and it is an ISO download |
|---|
| andarius | easily converted to a USB bootable if one has the necessary skill or google prowess |
|---|
| Urchlay | hrmf. |
|---|
| Urchlay | mbohun, mrselfpwn, Camarade_Tux, mancha, everyone else: I fixed the mysterious intel Xv blue screen issue |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | woot!!! |
|---|
| Urchlay | Xv works just fine in 1280x1024, doesn't work in 1600x1200 |
|---|
| MLanden | Congrats! |
|---|
| Urchlay | http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-004024.htm "Note: Since displaying video using hardware overlay uses more video memory bandwidth than is normally required, it is not supported in some of the highest resolution video modes." |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | andarius: thanks i'll look into it though i'll be suprised if it offers everything I need without any of the stuff I don't. |
|---|
| Urchlay | woulda been nice to say *which* modes |
|---|
| mancha | hidden away in the fine print, eh? :) |
|---|
| andarius | if it is pre-wrapped, what does it matter if it has things you don't need? whos to say you wont want/need them later? |
|---|
| Urchlay | or woulda been nice for the driver to report a warning/error in the log "Xv is disabled because the resolution is too damn high, n00b!" |
|---|
| andarius | either way, just thought I would point it out. there are several others as well |
|---|
| sahilsk | something weird has happened to my slackware. |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | Why does Slackware not setup a donate link at their store site? |
|---|
| MLanden | like what,sahilsk? |
|---|
| sahilsk | it shows me no graphic when focus move to some application. a blackish screen come with a very fade display. |
|---|
| andarius | kleanchap_: there is a donate link |
|---|
| sahilsk | i am using kde environment. any clue how to get rid of this error? |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | andarius: thanks for pointing that out, i'll look at it. |
|---|
| andarius | yw, hope it helps |
|---|
| MLanden | sahilsk, what video card/chip are you using? |
|---|
| sahilsk | radeon xpress 200 |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: well, that is why my brothers computer doesn't work in full resolution |
|---|
| slackwarebob | what will play a .swf file? |
|---|
| sahilsk | a flash plugin, i suppose. |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | sux it's not able to be fixed though at least we know why now. |
|---|
| mancha | mplayer will, depending on what version |
|---|
| slackwarebob | it's a flash movie file. but FF3 just shows it without playing it. |
|---|
| mancha | gnash has a player too |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | slackwarebob: there is a program in slackbuilds.org that does nothing but play flash content |
|---|
| slackwarebob | mplayer refused. let me try gnash. |
|---|
| slackwarebob | gnash isn't in sbo. mrselfpwn what is the other file? |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | sec looking |
|---|
| slackwarebob | mrselfpwn: nm, found one searching for flash. it says it's a player. :) |
|---|
| slackwarebob | should do the trick. |
|---|
| sahilsk | so, what i intet to do now? |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.0/multimedia/flash-player-standalone/ |
|---|
| slackwarebob | :) thanks. |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | np |
|---|
| mancha | mplayer should not refuse |
|---|
| Urchlay | mrselfpwn: actually, fixing the Xv problem was a side-effect of me changing the resolution because the guy said he was getting headaches |
|---|
| slackwarebob | flashplayer-standalone works. thanks. |
|---|
| mancha | hah, serendipity debugging (tm) |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | One thing I would like to suggest to the Slackware developer community is to make the wlan connections easier for users. It is the way the world is connecting now to the network. I had hard time setting up my connection with lots of warning messages. |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: awesome, lucky for me my brother also like the lesser resolution, so it was an easy fix. |
|---|
| antiwire | it's easy |
|---|
| jeev | this lvm shit is pissing me off grr |
|---|
| Urchlay | bloody hell. Now X is corrupting its display and crashing (or anyway locking up the keyboard) |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: did you go back to the normal intel driver? |
|---|
| Urchlay | yeah |
|---|
| antiwire | make sure you have drivers loaded and you can see the interface in iwconfig and ifconfig. Use 'iwlist interface_name_here scan' to scan for networks and edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, setup a network block in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, restart networking: /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart && done |
|---|
| retsudo | any newb can slackpkg install wicd |
|---|
| chopp | antiwire: welcome back. :) |
|---|
| retsudo | pretty darn easy |
|---|
| antiwire | chopp: I'm on a loner for now |
|---|
| antiwire | wooo |
|---|
| sahilsk | and what for me? |
|---|
| sahilsk | it's getting annoying. |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: we'll get it worked out i'm sure |
|---|
| Urchlay | mrselfpwn: apparently I've been spoiled all this time, my primary machine uses nvidia-legacy proprietary driver and it Just Works |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | Urchlay: yeah, i have had to deal with all three of them, intel, ati, nvidia. |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | nvidia is the best |
|---|
| mrselfpwn | though sadly it doesn't support kms yet |
|---|
| Urchlay | and my laptop uses mach64 (laugh if you want, but 2d is decently fast) |
|---|
| jeev | anyone seen this? v |
|---|
| jeev | woops |
|---|
| jeev | http://imagebin.org/78508 |
|---|
| sahilsk | how to get rid of blackish no graphic screen that i am getting on switching focus to differennt application. I am on xchat, no problem ,but when i focus the folder view , again my graphics destort. |
|---|
| kleanchap_ | Where can I find good Slackware Lilo splash screens? |
|---|
| Urchlay | and I had a machine running a while back with an older radeon card that Just Worked with the open source radeon driver (3d performance sucked, but I was using it as a TV/media box, no 3d needed) |
|---|
| jeev | i dont get what to do, i guess i can google the md0 error, i have lilo showing boot = /dev/md0 but root = /dev/lvm1/root |
|---|
| Urchlay | never had to touch intel graphics before, I must say, I fail to be impressed |
|---|
| Urchlay | jeev: eh, "boot = /dev/md0" probably also needs "raid-extra-boot=mbr" |
|---|
| jeev | i've got that. |
|---|
| jeev | i've done this before man i dunno what im doing wrong |
|---|
| Urchlay | OK, I dunno then |
|---|
| jeev | i've got initrd loading ext2:ext3:ext4.. just to be safe cause /boot is on /dev/sdb1 and it's ext2, lvm is ext4 |
|---|
| sahilsk | :( |

| antiwire | http://www.ohgizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/tiny.jpg |
|---|
| sahilsk | my graphics gone wild. |
|---|
| mancha | wth does that usb dongle do? |
|---|
| mbohun | Urchlay: "Xv works just fine in 1280x1024, doesn't work in 1600x1200" - i was thinking about that! fcuk - forgot to tell you trying diff resolutions obviously going from lowest to the highest, however i hesitated as i thought you run exactly the same setup/config with a previous version of slack, and you got this problem after upgrading |
|---|
| antiwire | mancha: it's a card reader and has 16GB built in storage |
|---|
| antiwire | http://www.ohgizmo.com/2009/08/07/tiny-drive-holds-16gb-and-reads-your-microsd-cards/ |
|---|
| mancha | neat |
|---|
| mancha | now the important question, how much mula? |
|---|
| antiwire | 160 for 16GB version |
|---|
| antiwire | never mind, it just comes with a 16GB card. that first article reports it like it has built in memory too |
|---|
| Urchlay | mbohun: eh, no, this was a completely fresh install, this machine had never had Slack on it before... and, I didn't try different resolutions because (a) I didn't think of it, and (b) when I did think of it, I didn't know how to force HAL-enabled X to use the modes I wanted (the log said it detected 1280x1024, 800x600, etc, but the 'Modes' keyword was being ignored) |
|---|
| mancha | kinda pricey, no? |
|---|
| antiwire | for 16GB yeah |
|---|
| mancha | what're sandisk 16GB SDHC cards going for these days? |
|---|
| antiwire | ~40 |
|---|
| egregor | a somewhat useless question: why firefox 3.5.6 took all this time to appear in security adv. if it was long before in changelog? |
|---|
| mancha | yeah, then 160 sounds like a bit of a ripoff |
|---|
| mancha | egregor, the irony is that 3.5.7 is out today :) |
|---|
| mancha | er, technically yesterday i guess. |
|---|
| mbohun | Urchlay: the only time i had intel gfx card - was my old ibm thinkpad laptop, in workstations i use exclusively nVidia cards |
|---|
| MLanden | antiwire, wonder if the 4gb model could use the 16gb sdhc? |
|---|
| antiwire | MLanden: Probably, I think they are just sold as a combo |
|---|
| mancha | sandisk used to bundle readers with their higher capacity cards (pretty much free reader) |
|---|
| antiwire | most likely just detects as a generic USB mass storage |
|---|
| egregor | mancha: didnt know. lol |
|---|
| mancha | egregor, worth a chuckle or two :) |
|---|
| egregor | indeed |
|---|
| mancha | tbh, plugging my camera card right into usb beats hooking up the camera and playing with transfer libs |
|---|

|---|
| c0ll3c70r | previous OS was FreeSBD, and now i cant format my hdd |
|---|
| Reticenti | c0ll3c70r: use cfdisk to make a "linux" partition, then in the setup, make it ext3,4, jfs, etc |
|---|
| Reticenti | or load up live gparted, and format it in there |
|---|
| crashdata | i still cant get farsight to work properly on amsn...anyone got any idea how to install this on a multilib system? |

| c0ll3c70r | yes, but dont recognize the fbsd partitions |

| c0ll3c70r | i only try cfdisk, let me try |
