Tick & Untick
From ZENotes
WORKS OUT-OF-THE-BOX:
- The HugeSMP Kernel,
- Network with hostname and static IP,
- KDE, albeit from runlevel 3
- Sound/music, Flash anims in Firefox, webradio
WORKS WITH INTERVENTION:
- NVidia drivers compiled fine,
- -> Resulting xorg.conf un-usable, re-worked with parameters from Fedora7
- --> Keyboard BE, wheel mouse (MANUAL EDIT OF XORG.CONF.
- The other 3 kernels, if you build their initrd according to the README in /boot
- Enlightenment DR16, with self compilation of imlib2 and DR16 + epplets + keyedit - have to redo as slackpackage, I failed.
- vncviewer, using source + slackbuild and installed with 'installpkg'
- transmission, using source + slackbuild and installed with 'installpkg'
- mplayer went fine with slackbuilds.org
- clean terminal shell that doesn't jump to / with no bash prompt - achieved by pushing not only the .bax-src file, but a .profilerc too - seems slack wants to read the non-standard .profilerc rather than the usual .bashrc in your home directory.
- Audacity - compile error, exec error with GTK issues - I had to go for wxGTK, it failed with pyGTK. Not fully tested.
- VirtualBox 2.0.6 - complains from missing, unfindable, libraries - Sorted with 2.1.2, but 2.06 has USB working and 2.1.0 doesn't... yet to test more.
YET TO ACHIEVE/TRY/DO:
- Skype compile fine, but no microphone. Gosh alsamixer is superfluously obfuscated.
- Webcam/GSPCA compile failure - kernel loads wrong module. Crashes skype.
- VLC - What's wrong with VLC you bunch o' Slackers? Can't seem to find it anywhere... the one from ~alien segfaults all the time.
- Better Memory Useage - artsd eats a lot, a minimal e16 workstation needs 1gig to run, that kills VirtualMachines.
BUGS:
- konsole transparency Fixed with new xorg.conf (?)
- Terminal isn't working Fixed with Full Fresh Install
- Konqueror doesn't know flash, swf.
- You are being asked your Keyboard Layout twice, it doesn't get to the xorg.conf. And again, and again: never - fixed myself manually
- Now you are proposed to do a thumbdrive starter, it doesn't work any better than the previous disquette system.And again, and again: never
- kwrite always exits with a crash.And again, and again: always, if not using kde
- transmissions doesn't calculate % achieved and remaining times.
- No firewall, machine is open to allAnd again, and again: always
- cups not working, error message Fixed with Full Fresh FAT Install
I re-installed all only twice. [[Category:Hardware
