#slackware

Hit a snag on the #Slackware laptop here at work that has a small eMMC (~20 GB). After an update yesterday, it ran out of space. Thus, I've had to remove KDE Plasma and likely will stick with a window manager or use Xfce instead. Was thinking of installing MATE from Slackbuilds using sbotools, but our org is blocking github which is what sbotools uses. :flan_eyeroll:

No stress @alien, take your time!
I very much appreciate the time you and @volkerdi invest on #Slackware. I have a local mirror with your binary and source codes, I will try to compile the restricted ffmpeg on a VM, I just didn't was thinking it was a "ffmpeg issue" in the first place. My bad!

PS: my English is a underway project!

When I first installed Linux at home (Slackware, 1993) for University Unix work/compatibility I had to buy an extra 4MB (yes, MEGA BYTES) of RAM to run it on my PC taking it to a massive 8MB of RAM, with a 150MB Hard Drive, and 3.5” floppy disks for backups. (My older system used 5 1/4” these new ones seemed slick by comparison)

That 4MB stick cost me over 100UKP in 1993.

These modern systems are absolutely immense, and cheap, by comparison.

Yes, #slackware current includes #Landlock support in the testing group with #kernel 6.14.
However, you must enable it at boot. If you're using #GRUB, follow these steps:

1. Add the following line to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="lsm=landlock"

2. Regenerate the GRUB configuration:

geninitrd

3. Reboot your system and verify that Landlock is enabled:

sudo dmesg | grep landlock

Example output:

[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-generic root=UUID=... ro lsm=landlock
[ 0.068388] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-generic root=UUID=... ro lsm=landlock
[ 0.212270] LSM: initializing lsm=capability,landlock
[ 0.212270] landlock: Up and running.

Once enabled, you can use landrun on Slackware-current:

Icu4c appears to have been updated in #slackware today while I’ve been working. I’ll get rebuilds out in some hours for the effected #kde6 packages. Did KDE ever drop the next gear beta? That was supposed to be today as well. Ah well, we’ll get it all soon enough.

Linux 6.14 changelog.
kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.14

I'm really looking forward to #Slackware current ship #kernel 6.14. I'm especially interested in Landlock, and to take advantage of it, I'll compile my own kernel, a task I've mastered over the past decade... or
so I thought. Apparently, Slackware's philosophy is 'if you're not compiling a kernel, are you even really living?'
So, back to the make mines I go!

Then, I'll be running Landrun (github.com/Zouuup/landrun)
