Re: Slackware 14.1

Hi,

I am also interested in the Salix 14.1!

Do you know if the arrival is in weeks/months/years (or is it a top secret between the developers ;) )?

Thanks for the tip! I really don't have issues with case sensitivity when navigating through my files. I do use thunar for when I want to open certain media files using different applications. Do you have any cool tricks? For example, if I type in 'open file.pdf' will bring up evince (or other pdf ...

Re: Back Again!

I couldn't agree more with you! Although, the distros in your list are very similar (eg. Mint/Ubuntu is Debian based, as are many other 'variants'). Have you had the chance to try some of the 'unknown' distros that keeps popping up on distrowatch? If you feel adventurous, you might want to try BSD v...

Re: need to free up some space

run as root in a terminal slapt-get --clean slapt-src --clean I did the above and didn't clean up what was in /usr/src. Ugly? These contain the build scripts that are used to build every single package that is offered by Salix and they are part of the packages that you have installed. They could be...

Re: need to free up some space

I have a question that is along the same line as this topic: I have a whole bunch of package directories in /usr/src. I assume these were created and used by either slapt or sourcery since they contain SLKBUILD file. They don't take up space, but it's sort of ugly. Is there a way to delete them/can ...

Re: broadcom-sta compile reports broken system link?

Hello, Just jumping into this thread, so please pardon me if I missed something... I have compiled and use broadcom-sta on my Aspire One 722 and I have everything working great. It looks like you have the correct module ("wl") loaded. What you can do is iwconfig from the terminal and I thi...

Re: resolution changes itself when i reboot or close session

Something that could be relevant here. I use the following script when I first start xorg or connect to an external monitor. #!/bin/bash if [ `xrandr | grep -c ' connected '` -eq 2 ]; then # dual monitor if [ `xrandr | grep -c 'VGA-0 connected'` -eq 1 ]; then xrandr --output LVDS --auto --primary --...

Re: Lock Screen?

Try

Code: Select all

xscreensaver-command -prefs
and see what options you have. You can also manually call xscreensaver by

Code: Select all

xscreensaver -no-splash
This is what I have in my .xinitrc (I don't use DE)
