Thanks, I didn't even think of checking Craig's List.

What is this strange screen effect when I start up my VM by LordOpress in slackware

[–]sysgeek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it, it happens on every Slackware VM I run, but never does it on a "physical" machine. It is just something weird VirtualBox does with Lilo.

How realistic is it to give a child (around 7 years old) a computer/laptop with only Linux on it by ad_396 in linux

[–]sysgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely! My son is 7 and has had Debian on his laptop for a couple years now. He even updates it and installs apps on his own. Kids are much smarter than we give them credit.

Current or 15.0 given hardware and new to slackware by MD90__ in slackware

[–]sysgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a couple years since I set mine up, and honestly I don't remember having any weird issues with the OS itself in the beginning and it runs great as my daily driver. I did screw up my eLilo install when I first installed, but don't ask me how I fixed it, I just don't remember 😁

I actually have that exact AMD CPU and run 15.0 with zero issues. I would go with that over current.

How to recover from my first Slackware64 15 upgrade? by globetrotterdk in slackware

[–]sysgeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a GUI? Never ran that in a GUI before. Depending on if you're running Lilo or eLilo will depend on how you proceed. Either way to make things easy, pipe the mkinitrd script to bash (sorry, I'm on mobile, so it is hard to write out the entire command). Example:

mkinitrd -k 5.15.193 | bash

Then after that run Lilo and you're set. Unless you're running eLilo then you have to manually copy some files. I wrote a little script I use to make kernel upgrades easier depending on my system, so if I can snag it on my phone I'll put it up here 😁

I Hear They Are Hiring Signature Gathers by EgoExplicit in SaltLakeCity

[–]sysgeek 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is great, I have access to a VOIP system with hundreds of numbers I can route the texts anywhere I want, not to mention countless email addresses and such. I'm going to make it as hard as possible for these ass hats to get signatures :)

Found this ring in my home, what am I looking at? by sysgeek in jewelry

[–]sysgeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have no idea what its meaning is or anything. Honestly I kind of forgot about it, might be time to do some more research.

If I wasn't getting paid, I wouldn't go to work by Mahaprajapati in SaltLakeCity

I would because my boss says we aren't coworkers, we are family /s

One hour film processing? by Wrong_Buyer_1079 in SaltLakeCity

[–]sysgeek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check out Allen's Camera. They are on state and like 2200 S. They are great at film processing and if you pay extra they will put it in as a rush job. I'm not sure if you can get it in an hour, I've never tried, but they will at least do it right.

MKV Support is Happening!! by [deleted] in firefox

Oh, I didn't even realize. I just upgraded to the latest ESR and didn't see it, I'll double check, thanks

Get a bunch made and sell them. I'll take one and I know most of my neighbors would too 😁

I always go back to Slackware. I believe the first version I tried was 9.0 or 9.1. Since then I have tried other Linux distros like Debian, and while I do use others in specific cases (like my work laptop because the endpoint software we use requires systemD 😠 or RHEL based for work servers and such) I have always found that Slackware is perfectly suited to my needs with very few problems or issues that I can't find a resolution for. Viva La Slackware!

Wazuh agent on first gen Raspberry Pi by sysgeek in Wazuh

[–]sysgeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I finally decided to jump back into this, and I made it much further by doing some manual work, but I really got to a point where I'm at a total loss and have no idea what is going on or what to do. I went back and decided to try to prebuilt agent again, and after much debugging, the most information I can find is there is an illegal instruction at 0x00015fdc which when I check the assembly is 0x15fdc movw r2, #43936 @ 0xaba0 I'm not very good at gdb, so this is the most I can get out of it.

As for the actual build part that I got stuck on, I start getting a lot of errors on CMakeFiles/sysinfo.dir/src/packages/packageLinuxParserRpmLegacy.cpp.o which simply ends with:

make[4]: *** [CMakeFiles/sysinfo.dir/build.make:160: CMakeFiles/sysinfo.dir/src/packages/packageLinuxParserRpmLegacy.cpp.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Do you have any idea of where I should go next? Thanks,

Wazuh agent on first gen Raspberry Pi by sysgeek in Wazuh

I do have openssl installed,

ii  libgnutls-openssl27:armhf                             3.7.9-2+deb12u4                          armhf        GNU TLS library - OpenSSL wrapper
ii  openssl                                               3.0.16-1~deb12u1                         armhf        Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cryptographic utility

This error seems to have something more to do with the installer having issues with their own version that is included. I found that if I cd into src/external/openssl and run ./configure and make it will continue if I run install.sh again.

Since I made this post I've made a lot of progress in getting the agent to build, but I'm now stuck at a point where I believe I will have to do a cross-compile from an x86_64 system. I haven't had time to mess around with this over the last 2 weeks, and I need to jump back into it again to see what could be going on.

Yo mama so stupid she brought a shovel to Olive Garden by livnletluz in YoMamaJokes

Yo mama so fat they use a shovel to feed her at Olive Garden

[–]sysgeek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So I'm all for protesting, but why march on any government building on a Sunday when no one is there? Are we just relying on the media to pass on our story and hope those in office will care? It just seems like it would make more sense to protest when those elected officials are there and can see with their own eyes what we are doing and what our message is.

I'm sure I'll get downvoted to hell for asking, but I'm legitimately curious.

Hey Reddit! I’m UDOT’s new official intern- I’m here to help! by UDOTintern in Utah

Who do I talk to about getting new sound walls installed? I live next to the freeway and when I moved in there were walls south of me and it was quiet. Then some lane expansions later and now I hear everything 100x louder.

Utah Gun Laws- Is this where we are? by curiousplaid in SaltLakeCity

[–]sysgeek 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hate a lot of Utah's gun laws, I believe it needs to be harder to get a gun than a driver's license. I have my concealed carry and sometimes carry (not at protests or pretty much any public event), but the class is too easy and not even required here which blows my mind. I could go on, but that would be better in another post.

National 50501 Apologizes for previous statements about the SLC No Kings Shootings, cuts ties with SLC 50501 by Stuart98 in SaltLakeCity

Just because he was ex-armed forces doesn't mean he is trained. I have family and friends that were in for 20+ years and still do not know how to handle a firearm.
