I do experience that too Jude, but what I did is i create a symbolic link in my /tmp/mysql.sock, coz I notice it's always seeking on that path. Tried creating...
I think maybe what happened when I got mysql working was mysql on an error state may not be shutting everything down properly. I did mysqld stop then mysqld...
Because identifying information describing say for example speakup.s and other kernels does not appear in the output of uname -ar and probably isn't exchanged...
there's at least newsticker and there may be others. It makes sense slackware didn't include any separate package for this function since with emacs already...
... I can't speak to rss feeds, but there was an excellent article in The Linux Journal a few months ago, about setting up mutt to work with Gmail. You might...
My CD set arrived in the mail yesterday afternoon, and I wasted no time getting it installed. Well, I had to replace my failed secondary hard drive first, but...
It might help if a kernel may be replaced to bring up a dialog with the existing kernel variants on the screen and let the installer choose either the kernel...
That newsticker didn't come with much of a manual. Understand newsticker stores your feeds list in your .emacs file in emacs 23.x. After running m-x...
Hi Howard, Was it easy and possible to have a 32 bit packages installed in Slackware64? BTW, are you using Slackware64 or just slackware 13.0 for x86...
... Paul, I only install the 32 bit version for now... My system has a x86-64 processor, but I've found that as a desktop system, for now, the 32 bit version...
I guess it'll be multilib on slack's next release after 13.0 for x86_64 machines. Although, I'll give it a try. Eric Hameleers have his guide on how to make...
I'm using sc and would like to know a few things about cell widths. I have some rather long labels for cells and am wondering what default cell widths are....
From within sc, do the following: 1. Position cursor in column to adjust 2. Type the 'f' key (no quotes) 3. Use the 'h' or 'l' key (again, no quotes) to adjust...
Sorry to reply to my own reply, but you can also enter the column properties directly, like this: From with sc, do the following: 1. Position cursor in column...
I'm about to upgrade to slackware 13.x today and have been struggling with locating a usb hard drive and configuring slackware appropriately. If it helps the...
I needed to format the sata disk once the partitioning was done and that got it accessible and mountable by the rest of the system. I decided to put a label...
... My personal preference is to use the ext2 file system for my /boot slice, and the ext3 file system for all of my data slices. I'm holding off on using...
The spreadshet works. I put together yc.sc and use that to measure where my investments are in any given year. The working assumptions on this spreadsheet...
I had a version of gnome slacky and was about to install it on this system but couldn't do it because the versions have to match or no install. I don't know...
... Jude, Try GnomeSlackbuild: http://gnomeslackbuild.org/ They seem to have packages built for Slackware 13.0. The release version is Gnome 2.26, but they're...
I got gnomeslackbuild installed with the easy install method on the site. I had to install orca since that wasn't installed and neither was espeak. Those two...
That was well worth the download and install whether gnome ever works with orca or not! It turns out, the mono package is available for gsb and the mono...
I forgot, I had to download mono-basic from the mono project page and I got my version from the svn trunk and ran ./configure --prefix=/usr/local and probably...
I managed to get orca talking with gnomeslackbuild on slackware 13.0. I had to change the runlevel to 4 in /etc/inittab to do it. A problem that happened...
Do any such command line equivalents exist for slackware for these two commands either on the slackware distribution or as third party packages? Earlier when I...
Apparently two different commands openvt for x and chvt for maybe console operations. I was using control-leftalt-f1 in gnome slack build and it wasn't going...
