Hello. I tried installing siag on arch linux. Installed nextaw and mowitz, but siag failed to install. Tried on salix using "slapt-src -install" with the same result. Not sure how to fix the problem. Visited the slackbuilds.org page, but not sure what to do. I'm guessing that the build scr...

Thanks for the archxdgmenu script! Works just as well here as under arch. (I found a version at a debian website, but couldn't get it to work here.) For my fluxbox system, I added an the following entry to my menu so that I could easily update the menu. I think I will also add this line to the start...

I entered

slapt-src update

Oops.

I now have gnome-mplayer installed (but I did need to become root to install the final package). I also used this method to install a couple of other favorite apps: gnomad2 and abcde. Thanks a lot!

Thanks.

Tried your suggestion but got an error:

Failed to open slackbuilds_data for reading
Unable to find all specified slackbuilds.

I'm guessing I have to edit my repos or learn to use slackbuild. Can you give me some hints, please? Thanks.

Hello. I used gslapt to update/upgrade my 13.1 install (xfce). I was surprised to see at least two qt packages (qt and pyqt) installed. I also saw some new entries in the menu: gnu privacy assisstant, scism startup, ffado mixer. Can I remove the qt packages? Are there other packages that can be remo...

I can confirm. I did an upgrade using gslapt and all new features seemed to install except lilosetup. I installed that using the command line suggested above. I also got an error trying to install libnl-smp. After searching, I found libnl and net-snmp. Net-snmp is installed but not libnl.

Thanks! It's working beautifully. I am very happy!

P.S. What command do I use to find out about the webcam? I installed lshw, but I didn't see specific info. I'd like to post the specs here.
