I'm a bit of a newbie in slackware. I'm sorry if there are answers for my question in this forum, but i searched google and I didn't find anything.

So, I've got 3 problems in my slackware 13.0 (2.6.31.6 kernel)

1. "too many session files in /var/tmp" when i try to open a file using "vi".

2. cp: cannot create regular file `....': Read-only file system -> when I try to copy a file.

3. I have dead screens, when I use "screen -wipe" nothing happens. They still stay there, and the problem is, that I need to create new screens using the same names...

Thanks. ]]> Slackware Linux Help insanedude http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/slackware-linux-help/155774-3-problems-slackware-13-0-a.html Problem: Adding slackware64 13 to grub2 loader http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/slackware-linux-help/155695-problem-adding-slackware64-13-grub2-loader.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:56:56 GMT First of all i am linux newbie.

I have problem adding 64-bit Slackware 13 to Grub2 loader
During slackware installation i chose not to instal Lilo..
I have Win7,Ubuntu 9.10 and Slackware 13.0. Grub successfuly found win loader but failed to find Slackware one.
I tried doing it manually by editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom
it looks like this
Quote:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.

menuentry "Slackware 13.0 64-bit" {
set root=(hd0,7)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.29.6
}
From what i have read ..there should be initrd in the menuentry{} too, but in slackware boot directory i haven't found one ..so i left it blank..

my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file looks like this

The Slackware item actually appears in the Grub2 menu but when i click it, it goes for a few seconds and then it writes

So i ask what to do to make Slackware boot properly..

Hello all,

I would like to have a dialog in my app, where user adds the root pwd and runs my application as root.

just like kdesu dialog,

my problem is not the GUI part, but how to do it, i cant communicate with su command for sure. some guy at the qtcentre suggested me to use PAM to authenticate my app.

after a little bit of research on the internet i can see that Slackware is not using PAM for authentication (if i got it correctly, i dont know anythink about security issues and stuff...) and neither OpenLDAP as ive also informed.

so please help me to understand what libs/method to use for granting my application root access.

I wanna get beyond into the slack, in a operative system level. I dont know if slackware uses a particular type of encryptation or is the same for the most common distributions. My question is how slackware encrypts? (for logs, passwords, files,etc... but in a native OS level).

I've installed Slackware 13 stable on my PC . Slackware seems to be very fast with kde 4.2.2 on my pc .

KDE4.3.2 the current stable version of kde is really well polished and i've downloaded the Vbatts KDE 4.3.2 packages. With
alot of anxiety i've upgraded the packages from the virtual terminal and then the real problem

>>>KDE started the splash screen came and after that all i got is a white screen with into marks on it. I can do nothing but move the
mouse pointer . Luckily i've got XFCE session .

After googling i came to know that this process only applies to the current version but not to stable version.

>>> Now how do i have to get KDE 4.3.2 working or
get back the old kde 4.2.2 on pc atleast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tot installing those vbatts packages will get me the polish look of latest kde but i got white screen.

Appreciate any help!!!!


Thanks In Advance.

Hi all,
Let me start by saying that i never had problems when installing or updating GIMP /when i was with slackware 12.2/ :D
i decided to upgrade from 2.6.6 to gimp 2.6.7. There isnt a precompiled package for Slackware 13 so i downloaded from source. Configured and compiled with no errors. but when i start gimp i get:

Code:
Libgimp version mismatch!

The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version
other than its own. This is GIMP 2.6.6, but the
libgimp version is 2.6.7.

Maybe you have GIMP versions in both /usr and /usr/local ?
There is no gimp folder in either of /usr and /usr/local

So i removed the 2.6.7 packages, and i still get the same err. I reinstalled the 2.6.6 package precompiled for Slackware 13, but still the same. So now i dont have working GIMP. I believe i did some rookie mistake :)

Any suggestions are welcome :)
