Re: Power settings in Slackware

Hi and thanks,

Eventually I reinstalled.
But I am keeping these instructions for when I will have time to 
recompile, it will get to that sooner or later.
A friend asked me for a log file somewhere in var/ I forget the rest, 
and it says that it is ignoring my BIOS because it is older than 2000. 
So this might be why acpi is not so easy to get right now, but that is 
not a major concern right now.
I will get there when I know more.
Right now I am trying to get the things I would normally do in Weandoze 
operational here too, and acpi was just one of them.
Most anything else seems to not be working out of the box ... sigh.
I will try to go to linuxquestions for the general linux questions, but 
I can feel already that I have so many questions for this list too...
Thanks

If you have bittorrent set up right, it is the way to go. I downloaded both 
disks at 300k/s.

slackware 10.1 & nptl pthreads?

No wish to troll... Is there any way to get Slackware 10.1 to run nptl? I do perfer 
Slackware, but i'm currently running Mandrake 10.0/10.1 just because i can not 
get Slackware to run nptl. 

Hoping to get nptl pthreads on 10.1 (kernel 2.6.10 and glibc 2.3xxx is -after all-
a rather modern one..) i downloaded & installed slackware 10.1 last night. After 
installing and booting the 2.6.10 kernel i still get linuxthreads-0.10 as result of 
'getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION'.. 

Is this a limitation of my installation/configuration skills, or should i wait for Slack-11.0?

kind regards,

Peter Faasse

You can get the CVS glibc and compile it yourself. I have been using
NPTL for some time now. Be careful though as the CVS tree is not
considered stable and it might not work and the system could not boot.
For example, the tree on 20050125 did not work and had to revert back to
the previous one (20041202), which could be a bit of problem if you
don't have any static utils like cp/ls/mv.

If you want you can get my packages, including the modified source
package to compile them yourself. You can download them from
ftp://ftp.comms.scitech.susx.ac.uk/pub/var/glibc/

Make sure that you have a copy of working glibc packages and a bootable
CD to mount your system and install them to recover in case the new
glibc does not work.

With the 20041202 cvs you get NPTL 2.3.3

slackware 10.1 and gnome

Slackware 10.1 includes GNOME, doesn't it? I saw on the
GNOME list that there is a new distribution of GNOME
for slackware (http://gnomedesktop.org/node/2152) and
now I'm wondering what the difference is.

Python/GTK?

In the bittorent tgz there's a graphical client which I never was able to
make work since it complained about missing gtk. Now I got PyGTK, compiled
it, installed it, still no go.

How do I make this work in Slackware? IT's not about BT but in general.
