Due to problems in upgrading wordpress to the latest stable release (2.2), I lost my last post and all the comments made after 3 days ago.
I restored the old WP theme, waiting for the new one..
I’m sorry for this :-)

Ho scritto un how-to su come installare Gnome Slacky 2.18.1 su Slackware Current, nel wikislack.
Il tutorial si trova su http://www.slacky.eu/wikislack/index.php?title=Gnome_Slacky_su_Slackware_Current, se siete interessati leggetelo, miglioratelo oppure riportate eventuali problemi nel forum di Slacky.eu, oppure nella discussione della pagina.

Se non ci saranno problemi riportati, tradurrò il tutorial in inglese e lo posterò nel blog.

Ecco qui il risultato della mia guida:
Gnome Slacky 2.18.1 on Slackware Current

 
 

Slackware Current boots in single user mode..fixed!

It may happen that, if you download a Slackware Current iso (which is a non ufficial iso), the boot is set in single user mode..
I downloaded the iso located here:
ftp://ftp.slackware.no/pub/[..]/slackware-current-15_May_2007-DVD.iso
The boot showed this annoying message:

Going to single user mode..

The network was down, too.. quite everything was down..

I looked in so many places.. I checked the permissions of every /etc/rc.d/* file, I obviously looked in my /etc/inittab, which reported “init 3″ as default..

“So where is that f***ed init 1 set up!?!!?!”

The answer came when I compiled my kernel sources.. I needed to alter my lilo config file, /etc/lilo.conf, and I noticed that stupid line:


append="1"

Which makes the system boot in single user mode..

-.-

If you download a non ufficial iso set, make sure that lilo.conf does NOT contain that line!

 
 

Be prepared for another WP theme :-)

I’m not satisfied with this dark theme. Well it’s cool, but it is not easy readable on some screens. I’m working on another theme :-)
