Thank you so much! I'm getting close. I get the following message when running dracut:

alben[~]$ sudo dracut --kver 6.12.8
dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kver 6.12.8
dracut: 95nfs: Could not find any command of 'rpcbind portmap'!
dracut[E]: Module 'ostree' cannot be found.

Thanks,

Try installing the libostree package.

It seems you need the ostree package. You can try the one from Slint but as it has several dependencies you could do what follows to also also install them:

Edit /etc/slapt-getslapt-getrc as root and append this line to it:

Code: Select all

SOURCE=https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0:DEFAULT

then type:

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get --add-keys
sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i ostree -s

Then remove ot comment out he line you appended to /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc
The last command will list all packages that would be installed and upgraded, without actually performing the updates. If that looks good to actually perform the updates type:

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i ostree

Alternatively (maybe safer?) to build and install the packages type:

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-src -u
slapt-src -i ostree

Then try again to run dracut.

That almost worked but it appears there is a dead link to an html file. After a long list of CC and CCLD messages, I received the following:

several of the following types of messages...

and then...

I assume the problem is the http address is dead.

Not sure how to get around that. I'd like to make it work, but the bluetooth does work on that laptop and I can always just connect to an external speaker for sound. I can also boot into Mageia if I need the built-in speakers since I have it working there but Salix is a very fine distro so I'm hoping to get this figured out if I can. It's one of those weird things where the intel apollo lake based chromebooks don't have sound drivers built into standard linux kernels and it requires a work-around. Even then, the script only works for the speakers, not the internal mic. Anway, I appreciate all of your help and it's giving me better insight into how to install things from other repositories.

Cheers!
