I am a new user of Salix, this is my first Slackware based distro hence I am new to the ways and means of Salix. I have a wireless keyboard that might run out of battery at anytime leaving me without keyboard hence here I need virtual on screen keyboard. I searched in gslapt but did not find any on screen keyboard , Sourcery has a couple of apps xvkbd and vkeybd but Sorcery failed to build them. Following is the the output of terminal while trying to install xvkbd and vkeybd via slapt-src

Code: Select all

root[hr]# slapt-src -i xvkbd
The following packages will be installed:

I can not make a head or tail of this as I am really new to Salix ,I also was not able to install Chromium via Sourcery but that is another story. Any help will be appreciated,Thanks.

Looks like you may need to install tcl. Unlike slapt-get and Gslapt, the cli and gui respectively for Salix's own repos, Sourcery and slapt-src have only limited dependency checking. If you have trouble, it's also always worth looking up the application you're trying to install at slackbuilds.org (which is a web interface to the scripts and info).

For xvkbd you need to install libXaw3d which you can install via gslapt or slapt-get. As mimosa said it looks like you need tcl for vkeybd which is also available through gslapt or slpat-get

Also, I forgot to mention - the Salix User Guide (link on home page) may be worth a look to help you find your feet.

Are you using xfce? I don't, and can't remember how to make such a shortcut, but I think it is either by right-clicking on the desktop, or else there is an item somewhere on the menu to create a desktop shortcut.

You might actually want to create a panel applet for this, though, and I'm really not sure about that. It may be equally straightforward (try right-clicking on the panel as a first guess).

If that doesn't help, try searching for "create XFCE desktop shortcut" (or "panel") with your favourite search engine.

Thanks Mimosa,a Friend helped me make a desktop file of xvkbd and I saved this file to /usr/share/applications and this created an entry in xfce menu.Thanks for your very quick reply.I was a bit apprehensive about posting what may seem like a trivial problem to an expert and experienced slackware users like you.But I am pleasantly surprised by helpful nature of Salix Forum Members.
