Slackware 13.37slackware-13.37

Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011
Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released!

Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team,
the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing
a great forum for collaboration and testing.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a
dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions,
and feedback.  :-)

Have fun!

-
-    Yes, it's that time again!  After many months of development and 
-careful testing, we are proud to announce the release of Slackware 
-version 13.1!
-
-    We are sure you'll enjoy the many improvements.  We've done our best 
-to bring the latest technology to Slackware while still maintaining the 
-stability and security that you have come to expect.  Slackware is well 
-known for its simplicity and the fact that we try to bring software to 
-you in the condition that the authors intended.
-
-    Slackware 13.1 brings many updates and enhancements, among which 
-you'll find two of the most advanced desktop environments available 
-today: Xfce 4.6.1, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and 
-easy to use desktop environment, and KDE 4.4.3, a recent stable release 
-of the new 4.4.x series of the award-winning KDE desktop environment.  
-We continue to make use of HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and udev, 
-which allow the system administrator to grant use of various hardware 
-devices according to users' group membership so that they will be able 
-to use items such as USB flash sticks, USB cameras that appear like USB 
-storage, portable hard drives, CD and DVD media, MP3 players, and more, 
-all without requiring sudo, the mount or umount command.  Just plug and 
-play.  Properly set up, Slackware's desktop should be suitable for any 
-level of Linux experience.  New to the desktop framework are ConsoleKit 
-and PolicyKit.  ConsoleKit handles "seats", things like dealing with 
-devices when switching from one user to another.  PolicyKit is a system 
-for fine-grained access control, allowing a non-root user to run certain 
-tasks with elevated privilege, but more securely than if the entire task 
-were simply run as root.
-
-    Slackware uses the 2.6.33.4 kernel bringing you advanced performance 
-features such as journaling filesystems, SCSI and ATA RAID volume 
-support, SATA support, Software RAID, LVM (the Logical Volume Manager), 
-and encrypted filesystems.  Kernel support for X DRI (the Direct 
-Rendering Interface) brings high-speed hardware accelerated 3D graphics 
-to Linux.
-
-    There are two kinds of kernels in Slackware.  First there are the 
-huge kernels, which contain support for just about every driver in the 
-Linux kernel. These are primarily intended to be used for installation, 
-but there's no real reason that you couldn't continue to run them after 
-you have installed.  The other type of kernel is the generic kernel, in 
-which nearly every driver is built as a module.  To use a generic kernel 
-you'll need to build an initrd to load your filesystem module and 
-possibly your drive controller or other drivers needed at boot time, 
-configure LILO to load the initrd at boot, and reinstall LILO.  See the 
-docs in /boot after installing for more information.  Slackware's Linux 
-kernels come in both SMP and non-SMP types now.  The SMP kernel supports 
-multiple processors, multi-core CPUs, HyperThreading, and about every 
-other optimization available.  In our own testing this kernel has proven 
-to be fast, stable, and reliable.  We recommend using the SMP kernel 
-even on single processor machines if it will run on them.
-
-
-Here are some of the advanced features of Slackware 13.1:
-
-- Runs the 2.6.33.4 version of the Linux kernel from ftp.kernel.org.
-  Also included is a kernel patched with Speakup to support speech
-  synthesizers providing access to Linux for the visually impaired
-  community.  The 2.6.x kernel series has matured into a stable
-  kernel, and provides reliable performance for your desktop or
-  your production server.
-
-- System binaries are linked with the GNU C Library, version 2.11.1.
-  This version of glibc also has excellent compatibility with
-  existing binaries.
-
-- X11 based on the X.Org Foundation's modular X Window System.
-  There's been much activity in the X development world, and the
-  improvements in terms of performance and hardware support are
-  too numerous to mention them all here.
-
-- Installs gcc-4.4.4 as the default C, C++, Objective-C, 
-  Fortran-77/95, and Ada 95 compiler.
-
-- Support for fully encrypted network connections with OpenSSL,
-  OpenSSH, OpenVPN, and GnuPG.
-
-- Apache (httpd) 2.2.15 web server with Dynamic Shared Object 
-  support, SSL, and PHP 5.2.13.
-
-- PCMCIA, CardBus, USB, IEE1394 (FireWire) and ACPI support.  This
-  makes Slackware a great operating system for your laptop.
-
-- The udev dynamic device management system for Linux 2.6.x.
-  This locates and configures most hardware automatically as it
-  is added (or removed) from the system, and creates the access
-  nodes in /dev.  It also loads the kernel modules required by
-  sound cards and other hardware at boot time.
-
-- New development tools, including Perl 5.10.1, Python 2.6.4,
-  Ruby 1.9.1-p378, Subversion 1.6.11, git-1.7.1, mercurial-1.5.2,
-  graphical tools like Qt designer and KDevelop, and much more.
-
-- Updated versions of the Slackware package management tools make it
-  easy to add, remove, upgrade, and make your own Slackware packages.
-  Package tracking makes it easy to upgrade from Slackware 13.0 to 
-  Slackware 13.1 (see CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT).  The slackpkg tool can
-  also help update from an older version of Slackware to a newer one,
-  and keep your Slackware system up to date.  In addition, the
-  slacktrack utility (in extra/) will help you build and maintain
-  your own packages.
-
-- Web browsers galore!  Includes KDE's Konqueror 4.4.3, 
-  SeaMonkey 2.0.4 (this is the replacement for the Mozilla
-  Suite), and the immensely popular Firefox 3.6.3, as well as
-  the Thunderbird 3.0.4 email and news client with advanced
-  junk mail filtering.
-
-- The KDE Software Compilation 4.4.3, a complete desktop environment.
-  This includes the KOffice productivity suite, networking tools, GUI
-  development with KDevelop, multimedia tools (including the amazing
-  Amarok music player and K3B disc burning software), the Konqueror web
-  browser and file manager, dozens of games and utilities,
-  international language support, and more.
-
-- A collection of GTK+ based applications including pidgin-2.7.0,
-   gimp-2.6.8, gkrellm-2.3.4, gxine-0.5.903, xchat-2.8.6, xsane-0.996,
-   and pan-0.133.
-
-- A repository of extra software packages compiled and ready to run.
-  This includes the Java(TM) 2 Software Development Kit Standard
-  Edition, an MPlayer browser plugin, and more (see the /extra directory).
-  
-- Many more improved and upgraded packages than we can list here.  For
-  a complete list of core packages in Slackware 13.1, see this file:

-side, and the 64-bit x86_64 Slackware 13.1 release on the other.  Both 
-sides are bootable for easy installation, and includes everything from 
-both releases of Slackware 13.1, including the complete source code 
-trees.
-
-    The 6 CD-ROM release of Slackware 13.1 is the 32-bit x86 edition.  
-It includes a bootable first CD-ROM for easy installation.  The 6 
-CD-ROMs are labeled for easy reference.
-
-
-    The Slackware 13.1 x86 6 CD-ROM set is $49.95 plus shipping, or

+- Runs the 2.6.37.6 version of the Linux kernel from ftp.kernel.org.
+  Alternate 2.6.38.4 Linux kernels are also provided, as well as
+  suggested configurations for using a 2.6.39-rc4 kernel, or the
+  2.6.35.12 kernel which is supposed to be longterm supported.  These
+  kernels will provide reliable performance for your desktop or your
+  production server.  By the way, the Speakup driver, used to support
+  speech synthesizers providing access to Linux for the visually impaired
+  community, has now been merged into all of the provided kernels.
+

-*** LIBATA SWITCHOVER ***

-

-The "old" ide subsystem in the the linux kernel is now deprecated in favor

-  of the newer libata subsystem, and this affects the naming of device nodes

-  for almost all types of disk drives -- hard drives in particular will now

-  have an "sd" named node.  The following information should allow you to

-  handle that changeover gracefully.

-

-  1. Upgrade the kernel and kernel-modules packages normally.

-     

-  2. Edit /etc/fstab to reflect the change from hd* to sd*.

-    

-     If you have multiple SATA devices, and especially if you have some of

-     both hd* and sd* devices present already, then you're basically going

-     to be playing a guessing game right now, and you probably want to

-     consider using some of the persistent symlinks in the /dev/disk/by-*/

-     directories instead of raw device nodes -- for example, the links in

-     /dev/disk/by-id/ should always point to the same device, even if its

-     raw device node changes from e.g. sda1 to sdc1 or some such across

-     reboots.

- 

-     * If you are using one of the generic kernels (requiring an initrd),

-       then use the sd* name for the root device when creating the image.

-     

-     * You will almost surely want to remove the udev rules file for cdrom

-       devices (it will be regenerated on the next boot with correct

-       information reflecting the new libata stuff):  

-         # rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules 

-

-     * Speaking of optical devices, if you have multiple disk drives and an

-       optical drive using the old ide subsystem, then be aware that the

-       optical drive will get a /dev/sr* name instead of /dev/sd* -- this is

-       relevant because you might see something like this (if your optical

-       drive is currently /dev/hdb):

- 

-         Old Name --> New Name 

-         /dev/hda     /dev/sda

-         /dev/hdb     /dev/sr0

-         /dev/hdc     /dev/sdb

- 

-  3. Run lilo.  Note that you have made no edits at all to it yet, unless

-     you needed to edit it for the new kernel.  Specifically, do not make

-     any changes with respect to hd* --> sd*.

- 

-  4. Reboot.  At the lilo prompt, press <TAB> and add an append for the

-     real root device (which will no longer be /dev/hd*).  For example, if

-     the old root device was /dev/hda1, and it will now be /dev/sda1, and

-     the name of your kernel image is "Linux" then you would do this:

-

-       Linux root=/dev/sda1

-

-  5. Once the system comes back up, then fix /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo, and 

-     reboot again to be sure everything is correct.

-If you notice Xfce's Terminal and perhaps some other applications being drawn

-  very slowly in X, then you should try explicitly disabling the Composite

-  extension in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 in your

-  environment prior to starting X.  For more information on this, see:

-    http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2792

-  We've also gotten a report of some other things (such as VirtualBox) that

-  might benefit from this.

-

-Speaking of Xorg, the version of Xorg shipped with Slackware 13.1 will not

-  (in most cases) require an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at all.  Configuration of

-  input devices and such is handled by HAL, and the X server autoconfigures 

-  everything else.  You can still create an xorg.conf file if you wish, or you

-  can create a minimal xorg.conf with only the specific contents that you wish

-  to override (as an example, to use a binary-only video driver). 

-  Due to removed drivers and other such changes, it's quite possible that your

-  old xorg.conf will not work correctly with this version of Xorg.

-

-If you need to use a non-US keyboard layout, then copy the file located at

-  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy

-  and edit it to suit your needs.  Have a look at the contents of that file

-  for an example and more information.  If you prefer to do this the "old" way

-  using /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then you can use "X -configure" or "xorgsetup" to

-  generate an xorg.conf, then add the following lines to the "ServerFlags"

-  section to disable input device hotplugging via HAL:

-    Option   "AllowEmptyInput"     "false"

-    Option   "AutoAddDevices"      "false"

-    Option   "AutoEnableDevices"   "false"

-  This is also relevant if you prefer to disable HAL completely for whatever

-  reason.

-

-If you are using input hotplugging via HAL and a synaptics touchpad, then you 

-  might need to copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

-  to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ and edit it to suit your needs.  You can also use

-  synclient(1) to make changes "on the fly."  

-Also note that any touchpads that include actual buttons as part of the 

-  touchpad hardware will not have tap-to-click enabled by default.

-

-In KDE, you can access the "System Settings" menu in Administrator mode by 

-  running "kdesu systemsettings" as your normal user.

-

-If you see errors like this related to alsa during boot:

-    Loading ALSA mixer settings:  /usr/sbin/alsactl restore

-    Unknown hardware: "HDA-Intel" ...

-    Hardware is initialized using a guess method

-    /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:1256: failed to obtain info for control #31

-    /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:1256: failed to obtain info for control #32

- then you will need to remove /etc/asound.state, reboot (so that it is 

- regenerated with correct information), and reset the volume and such.

-

-If you see warnings like this when logging in:

-    configuration error - unknown item 'DIALUPS_CHECK_ENAB' (notify administrator)

-    configuration error - unknown item 'NOLOGIN_STR' (notify administrator)

-  then you need to move/merge /etc/login.defs.new with /etc/login.defs (and

-  also move/merge the other .new files that you have obviously neglected).

+The version of Xorg in Slackware 13.37 will not (in most cases) require an 

+  /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  Input hotplugging is no longer done using hal; 

+  instead, it now uses udev for input device detection and keyboard mapping.

+

+  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is the "packaged" configuration directory; all

+  files ending with ".conf" in this directory are used by the X server 

+  unless there is an identically-named file in the local sysadmin directory.

+  The local sysadmin config directory is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ - all files

+  ending with ".conf" in this directory are parsed.  

+

+  There are several default config files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/:

+    * 10-evdev.conf

+        a "catchall" file for input devices using the evdev driver; this 

+        should work for most hardware in the absence of a better driver

+    * 50-synaptics.conf

+        overrides the earlier 10-evdev.conf file and uses the synaptics 

+        driver for all touchpads

+    * 50-wacom.conf

+        overrides the earlier 10-evdev.conf file and uses the wacom driver 

+        for Wacom tablets

+    * 90-keyboard-layout.conf

+        this sample ("normal" en layout) keeps the "old" default of 

+        allowing Zap'ing the Xserver.

+  If you need to modify any of these defaults, then copy the relevant file

+  from /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and edit the

+  copy.

+ 

+  You can still create an xorg.conf file if you wish, or you can create some

+  minimal xorg.conf snippets with only the specific contents that you wish

+  to override (as an example, to use a binary-only video driver) as separate

+  files in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory.

+

+  Regardless of your chipset (though it seems more common with intel), if KDE

+  crashes on startup, try disabling the Composite extension (which will also

+  disable all of the fancy desktop effects).  Place the following content in

+  a file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/disable-composite.conf:

+    Section "Extensions"

+      Option "Composite" "Disable"

+    EndSection

+

+Now that KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) for graphics cards has (mostly) stabilized,

+  it is enabled by default for intel, ati, and nvidia graphics chipsets.  It

+  is possible to disable it use "nomodeset" as a kernel append in lilo.conf,

+  but Xorg will not work at all on intel and ati chips if you do that.

+  

+  If you want to change the resolution of the KMS console, that can be done

+  with something like this as a kernel append in lilo.conf:

+    append="video=1024x768"

+

+  Speaking of lilo.conf and KMS, make sure you use either vga=normal or 

+  vga=extended -- some of the framebuffers don't like KMS very much...

+

+The (formerly) patented bytecode interpreter is now enabled in the freetype

+  package, so your fonts might look a bit different.  If this is undesirable,

+  you can restore the previous default with this line:

+   # ln -s ../conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
