Phoronix benchmark for slackware 14

I know slackware 14 is at rc1 at the moment, and probably was benchmarked by "Phoronix" in Beta, but, does anyone have an idea why it seemed to perform less well than Arch, Ubuntu and Fedora?

Re: Trying it out. Lovin it!

Hi trickyhero,
Welcome aboard.
You could try midori browser http://twotoasts.de/index.php/midori/.
I thinks it's available through the package manager "gslapt", if not then from "sourcery".

Re: lilo and grub booting problems

What I did in the end was. Installed grub (via ub-studio disc) on it's own partition rather than mbr, booted back into salix and added a chainloader entry in lilo.conf pointing to ub-studio partition. # Linux bootable partition config ends other = /dev/sda6 label = studio This will be my method from...

Re: lilo and grub booting problems

Thanks mimyers,
I upgraded to the latest lilo 23.2, which didn't report any errors, but still wouldn't boot the ubuntu-studio.
Oh well, the ubuntu-s grub finds salix ok and works, grub won't boot the ubuntu-s on salix.

lilo and grub booting problems

Re: Jackd - can't connect to JACK server as client.

Thanks Thenktor, The problem actually stemmed from E17 using alsa. I couldn't , for now, work out where though, so switched to fluxbox and it all works. I have now have jackaudio-connection-kit & qjackctl from slackbuilds working fine with ardour2 on fluxbox ( probably better as it uses slightly...

Jackd - can't connect to JACK server as client.

Hi, I have always had problems getting jack to run. I had it running before on this setup, but idk what I've done as it's refusing to start again. Even so when it was working before I was never able to get "ardour" to give me a level from my microphone, even though it was showing as connec...

Re: A Control Panel

Good news Akuna. I use the your latest version all the time. (slims down favorites menu entries and saves many password entries). It works great. Two things I noticed ( which don't bother me). On scale window it seems to scale from the center rather than pull to corner being dragged, although I am u...

Re: Enlighten me

I found the best way to install E17 on Salix/Slackware is to use the slackbuild provided here: http://slackadelic.com/~thrice/e17/ . It uses the current svn tree, which is pretty stable. Download all the contents of the above folder, go into /src and run the checkout script, it downloads and compres...

Re: mkinitrd doesn't copy modules to initrd tree [new proble

AlienBobs slackware wiki on kernelbuilding ( scroll about 1/2 down for creating an initrd) may be of help. He wrote a mkinitrd_command_generator shell script too.
