Selling my soul

[GekkoP]

^ great setup there.

[kexolino]

^ Thanks. Really liking it so far, only weird thing is that a mouse click doesn't bring the window to the top.

[dkeg]

yeah kex, super nice.

[ivanovnegro]

Finally, great scrot Kex! Welcome to the EVIL.

[Launfal]

OK, I'm now on the evilwm bandwagon. This is way cool, but if you're running Wheezy, make sure you get the version from backports. The stock version locks up hard with 100% CPU usage when you try to kill it. Here's a couple scrots to prove that I'm in the fold.

Edit: removed thumbnails

Second edit: removed links since they were invalid (?) Will direct upload later.

[dkeg]

Well, not sure what's linked behind those scrots, but very much NSFW. Good thing I'm on my phone!

[Launfal]

^ Oh, crap, I didn't even think of that when I threw those up here. I marked them adult when I threw them up on Postimage, though.

Should I delete the post?

[dkeg]

Maybe delete the links and try again. The links are getting hijacked I guess

[ivanovnegro]

I have no problem with pink bits but if you want, just put the links, no thumbnails. In comparison with some family friendly forums, this one here is for adults. ;)

[Launfal]

^ done. thanks for the heads up, guys. I'll be more careful about this stuff in future.

[dkeg]

Tried the links, got Android Trojan virus detected.

FYI, you can upload scrots directly to the forun

[rhowaldt]

yes, direct upload is the way to go. porn only when proper or funny, and always accompanied by intellectual discourse.

evilwm on bowlful:



I know this looks like all my other scrots, but believe me, getting this far was not easy for me. I knew nothing at all about Slack when I started; I know just a tiny bit more now.

[machinebacon]

I like the fact that you are really 100% distro-agnostic :)

(isn't evilwm in the sbopkg? Or did you mean the nearly never-ending 'slackpkg install <something> && startx && ...' routine to get X up?)

[pidsley]

^ the X part. And then I couldn't figure out how to get scrot (and its depends) without slackbuilds, so I had to learn how to do that too. I'm sure this would all have been easier if I knew anything at all about Slack, and bones will probably laugh at my difficulties, but I did finally get it all working...

What kind of crazy system has so many different ways to install packages? LFS is almost easier.

(edit) now I am investigating sbopkg -- I see my earlier problem with it was that I had not sync'd the repo. Just learned something else... but it's really just a front-end for slackbuilds, so...

[machinebacon]

Yes, sbopkg (whose cache I did not spin up due to file size) is doing nothing else as just wget'ing (or rsync'ing) the files from slackbuilds, and it is *actually* not part of the Slackware reality. Bit like AUR.

So, the only valid thing is really just slackpkg/installpkg.

Anyway, you successfully got from Slack noX to X + wm + tools - on a new base - that's actually something to be proud of. ;)

Edit: we should add that on a standard Slackware install you get a DVD (or 6 CDs) of the official mirror with all tarballs. That makes "building" things way easier. And that's how Bones cheated :)

[pidsley]

^ thanks.

[bones]

Yes, as bacon said, I cheated to get X up and running, because I have Slackware disks sitting around (I'm a subscriber). So, excellent work on your part, pidsley. No, I'm not laughing... I was once there, too. :) I remember the frustration of my early Slackware days, having come from Debian stable.

Haggis is alive.



- hsetroot -tile sets this wallpaper
- st with solarized palette
- evilwmrc is from ivan, it just opens st instead of urxvt
- conky is from pidsley, I just edited to my own taste

Not much, then, but I'm happy and got some tears from saying goodbye to Elektra. :)
