Salix Xfce 13.2alpha1
Re: Salix Xfce 13.2alpha1
Eric Hameleers has just compiled Libre Office 3.3.0-rc3 for Slackware 13.1 install (or -current) @ http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/ - for testing.

Yep. Looks like a bug in glibc 2.12.2: http://www.spassets.com/forums/linux.arch.devel/328651lmello wrote:There's a weird little bug - /home appears as 'hmee' in the console prompt.
Re: Salix Xfce 13.2alpha1
Is there a chance to have XFCE 4.8 (4.7 RC) in Salix 13.2
I am asking because LibreOffice is planned to be included, anyways that only a RC is available currently.

Re: Salix Xfce 13.2alpha1
It all depends on who-knows-when Slackware 13.2 is released... alas, XFCE 4.8 is supposed to be released today.gapan wrote:Highly unlikely.schlawi54 wrote:Is there a chance to have XFCE 4.8 (4.7 RC) in Salix 13.2
Re: Salix Xfce 13.2alpha1
I tried to install the alpha in VirtualBox. For guest additions, I had to install kernel-source additionally. The build of the module did not work to load, so I upgraded the kernel to the huge package, executed lilo and reboot. Then, I get a frozen console, no mouse and no keyboard any more available.

Yes, installation of the kernel-source has been required to build the, modules on all slackware built kernels since 2.6.28.schlawi54 wrote:For guest additions, I had to install kernel-source additionally.
As for not VB install not working, I suggest you try reinstalling. I've got both the 32 & 64 alphas running without any problems on VB 4.0 PUEL

Re: Salix Xfce 13.2alpha1
Same for me, works good on VB 3.2.12 OSE. for 32 and 64 bits.
Re: Salix Xfce 13.2alpha1
Excellent work guys! This alpha works a treat! Apart from requiring a reinstallation after deciding to try upgrading the kernel (resulting in my laptop restarting every time after a successful BIOS check), I have yet to encounter any issues.

After the latest batch of updates, I can't run 13.2alpha1 from virtualbox.
