Something like kbiff or korn in KDE4...
With Slackware 13.1 and KDE4 I soon found that I needed som kind of biff program to notify me when there is new mail in my local mailbox /var/mail/$USER.

Warning about gcc version 4.3.3
I expect to pay for my mistakes, but sometimes the penalty is all out of proportion. Here is an example I found involving lseek, open, and close. Look at this code segment: int fd; off_t strt=0; fd=open(ptri,"r"); lseek(fd,0L,SEEK_END); fsize=lseek(fd,strt,SEEK_CUR); close(fd); if(fsize==0){ print... 11 Aug 2010 18:01

flash on Slack64 13.1
What do you use on your Slackware64? As far as I know, Adobe released a a new version of flash some time ago, but it was only for 32-bit systems. What is the state of gnash now? Whenever I upgrade FF it rightly tells me that the flash-plugin is out-of-date. I'm using: flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64-1_SBo ... 13 Aug 2010 16:50

amazing! old iomega zipdisk just works with slack-13.1
Plugged in an atapi interface zip disk, to check what's on a bunch of disks before getting rid of the things. Just worked. No effort, no creating devnodes, just worked... fdisk -l showed it as /dev/sdc4 Quite amazing.

phonon's xine backend won't play files with non-ascii names.
Hi, This bug only affects systems with a non Unicode locale. (As mine in iso-8859-15) and can be easily reproduced with dragon player or amarok while trying. I'm using slackware-current for x86_64, but x86 is also affected. Phonon assumes that mrl provided to xine are encoded in utf-8, but xine assume that ... 6 Aug 2010 21:27

problems with a usb mouse
I didn't have problems with previous versions of Slackware. Since 13.1 (or perhaps since the kernel that comes with 13.1) my mouse behaviour is very annoying. Basically, when I press the right button (to unfold the context menu) it immediately disappears. I have to press 5-7 times until it stays up and lets me c... 6 Aug 2010 11:32
