Is there any place the kernel 4.9.53 packages might still be available? I ask because the Virtualbox kernel driver package from SBo won't build against 4.14.x (yes, caveats of using SBo against Current are known). I reverted back to the 14.2 kernel, 4.4.14, to get Virtualbox working again. At least this Lenovo T410 works well enough with 4.4.14 that I'm not in dire straits.

If you plan on running VirtualBox 5.2.0, this post should be of interest to you.

Basically, you run the VirtualBox .run file; it will err out, but you copy the patch from wherever you downloaded it to the /usr/src/vboxhost-5.2.0 directory, run
Code:
 patch -p1 < <patch file>
and then cd to /etc/init.d, and run
Code:
 ./vboxdrv setup
and then it will compile successfully.

bcache is buggy in Linux 4.14.1 and can have data corruption
Bcache is buggy in linux 4.14.1 and can have data corruption. If you are using it then it might be better to use Linux 4.13 or earlier for now...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/11...destroys_data/

The article says that 4.14.1 is fixed, but I checked the patch and the source code (block/bios.c) and the patch is not there, not fixed.

Thanks for the info.
I upgraded to Slackware's FFMPEG. its okay now, no libx265 dependencies.

I have no idea why slackpkg upgrade-all does not show ffmpeg as an upgrade option to slackware64. Maybe, I need to check/reconfigure slackpkgplus, I also had ninja installed from alienbob repo.
As it is, this is just a testing install.

Slackware 14.3 or 15 is getting better.
Keep up the great work people.

Cheers pritvi

Are you using Slackware's ffmpeg package or e.g. alien's ?
I found it weird that I am using alien's ffmpeg.
I don't remember when I upgraded to alien.

The Bcache bug seems to be fixed in 4.14.2:

unfortunately, I have never blacklisted alien, this is why I found it weird,
slackpkg should have at least shown an upgrade(even if it is a downgrade version).

I think that since slackpkgplus has no registered slackware64 repository, only a repo in mirrors, I think slackpkg does not process the upgrades that well.
I will see into it later.

I installed all new updates today including 4.14.1 -- Seems fine so far...

Code:
$ uname -a
Linux slackware.slackware.org 4.14.1 #1 SMP Tue Nov 21 22:50:27 CST 2017 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Note: I did have one small problem starting x ... it failed trying to load the keyboard, couldn't write or remove something in /tmp (forget now) I just deleted everything in /tmp and all loaded fine. Not sure what happened exactly but it seems more of a 'me problem' then the update.
