slacko B3

Hi Barry I posted Slacko B3 last night and overall it's had a good reception. There is an issue though with your newly compiled "no-xcb" libs in Slacko. Here's the list that got downloaded- boehm-gc-7.1-w5c.pet cdrkit-1.1.11-w5c.pet chmlib-0.40-w5c.pet faad2-2.7-w5c.pet gphoto2-2.4.11-w5c.pet gtkam-0.1.17-w5c.pet lame-398-2-w5c.pet libdc1394-2.1.3-w5c.pet libdvdcss-1.2.10-w5c.pet libdvdnav-4.1.3-7-w5c.pet libdvdplay-1.0.1-w5c.pet libdvdread-4.1.3-9-w5c.pet libgnomecups-0.2.3-w5c.pet libgphoto2-2.4.11-w5c.pet libsigc++-2.2.10-w5c.pet libusb-1.0.8-w5c.pet mktemp-1.7-w5c.pet psmisc-22.14-w5c.pet schroedinger-1.0.10-w5c.pet unzip-60-w5c.pet xsane-0.997-patched-w5c.pet xvidcore-1.2.2-w5c.pet Is it possible for you to upload the corresponding libs that don't have the "no-xcb" mod to the "common" repo? I'm guessing this will affect dpup too, else I'll just recompile them and put them in the Slacko repo. Thanks

"There should be Slackware packages for all/most of those.

"Even though they are compiled without libxcb, they still work in Slacko don't they? I can't think why they wouldn't.

"Actually, it's a different bug, Libusb-0.1 (or what should have been) clobbered the slackware-libusb1, meaning that no libusb-0.1 got downloaded, apparently it's the same in racy pup. I'm going with libusb-compat :), solves it for me.

woof bug?
Username: 01micko
"Hi Barry There have been many reports of a shutdown bug (that is, it wont poweroff) in Slacko B3 and B4. I have figured it's something to do with unmounting because if all your drives are unmounted the it poweroffs fine, if 1 or more drives are mounted you get a reboot when you want poweroff. It has only occurred in this woof, I have partitions mounted all the time when I poweroff, actually I usually only poweroff before work or bed. On my test boxes I haven't bothered mounting drives and they all powered off fine, so that is why this took awhile to surface. davids45 reported that this occurred to him in Racy. Thanks

Re poweroff problem
Username: BarryK
"That seems more like a kernel problem. I got that problem recently a couple of times, and I didn't know why it happened. I'm running Wary right now, I'll see if the problem occurs. If it doesn't, that might tend to point the finger more at the kernel. Note, regarding unmounting partitions, rc.shutdown unmounts everything, so at final shutdown they should all be unmounted, or as much as can be. What kernel are you using in B3/B4?

Re Poweroff problem
Username: BarryK
"I get it in Wary too. I am always very tidy, unmount everything before shutting down, so wasn't getting this problem. Right now, it's a mystery. I can exit from X, then type "busybox poweroff", and the computer does poweroff. So, I have to try an figure out how a poweroff gets changed to a reboot, just because a partition is mounted. I have had enough for today, will check it out tomorrow.

"Thanks for the attention. I wanted to make sure it was caught before next woof as that will be the final woof for slacko. I made sure of my facts first ;). As an aside, I have been using the same kernel for 2 months with many testers with no poweroff issues. (k2.6.37.6, aufs patched of course, smp, no pae, usb_storage as module, basically follows your DOTconfig for 2.6.35.8)
