Removing Samyak-Oriya fonts from Slack13
HI, Trying to setup WINE so I can integrate it with M(a)cro$of^ .NET framework. Going through the setup process at WINEHQ.

lost icons in xfce
I seem to have lost all the icons on the xfce panel and menu (also individual programs - thunderbird/firefox, etc.) It might be something to do with some updates from sbopkg, but I don't remember updating anything related to xfce/icons/themes, etc. I'm running slackware64-current. Thank you for your help -- re... 19 Feb 2010 19:57

Unsupported kdelibs
Someone posted here a link to KDE 3.5.10 compiled for Slackware 13.0. I've looked at three different sites, and they all have what looks to be a 64-bit file in with the 32-bit files. It's the file kdelibs3-3.5.10-x86_64-opt2.txz, and you can see it here: ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/os/slackware/unsupported/... 25 Feb 2010 10:14

USB boot media?
I screwed up my MBR via a non-Slackware distro GRUB restore tool residing on a separate partition, but thereafter managed to boot from the original Slackware installation DVD by the 'pinch' tip, like this: boot: hugesmp.s root=/dev/hda5 rd1 rdinit= ro I could then easily run 'liloconfig' to restore the original M... 19 Feb 2010 16:36

Quick re-compile question
Hi, Am an old script kiddie from 1994 and did pretty well re-compiling kernels in the old sub Ghz cpu based boards before USB was invented. I'm currently using these devices up to this day.

Perl script: OK on 12.2 32 bit, fails on 13.0 64 bit
Hi everybody, I have a Perl script which is fine on Slackware 12.2 32bit and fails on Slackware 13.0 64bit. Perl 5.10.0 on both systems. The problem occurs with system calls. e.g. system("date"); If I execute a system call as the first command in the script then all is OK. But if I execute a system call dee... 15 Feb 2010 08:40
