Haha, yah, it's been like that for awhile. I find it quite funny though, how it says "expert actually does the same as menu", yet I always choose "expert" and never "menu"

Code:

-Dxkb-base="/usr/share/X11/xkb"

?

They are both in gentoo & arch pkg

edit: nevermind, that does not work

ebtables-2.0.11-x86_64-3 installs /etc/ethertypes as a .new file.
iptables-1.8.7-x86_64-3 installs /etc/ethertypes without the .new handling.

The file is identical in both packages. I would assume either they both should have the .new handling, or neither?

The upgrade to xkeyboard-config-2.35.1-noarch-1.txz puts down all X11 sessions and even Wayland/Plasma5 goes nuts!

The fix is right now to revert to xkeyboard-config-2.34-noarch-1.txz of Slackware 15.0 .

in Xorg.0.log

xkeyboard-config have this build option

xkb-base=

and other interesting , i see on archlinux pkgbuild

Quote:

-D xkb-base="/usr/share/X11/xkb" \
-D compat-rules=true \
-D xorg-rules-symlinks=true

Yep, this is the explanation.

Looks like we have a partial update. Probably for whatever reason, the related X11 and Xorg packages wasn't published yet.

Hence why if both are there, at least one should have a different output. Personally I think Expert should just be left, and have the terse output anyways because terse not only seems to be faster; since it is not displaying all the package details, I feel there is no need since if you are choosing that, you don't need it anyways. If Pat wants to keep both, then it should read something like:

"Menu <description>"
"Expert "same like Menu, only output is in terse format."

Or whatever Pat would decide for a description. Personally, it just seems redundant and I would be fine with just one option, but with a terse output since that seems fitting for an advanced setting.

FYI

I rebuilt setxkbmap, xkbcomp & xorg-server, with

Code:

setxkbmap:  --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
xkbcomp:  --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
xorg-server:  --with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb \

Code:

blackstar :: x/x11/configure » grep "X11/xkb" * 
setxkbmap:  --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
xkbcomp:  --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
xorg-server:  --with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb \

+ xkeyboard-config 2.35.1

Code:

blackstar:log:# slackpkg list-installed | grep xkeyboard
xkeyboard-config-2.35.1-noarch-1

And everything is back to normal

note: my fancy option "list-installed"

EDIT :
startx & sddm X11 session are ok
BUT no really with wayland ...

The xorg-server-xwayland build needs:

Code:

-Dxkb_dir=/usr/share/X11/xkb

as well as : libxkbcommon

Thanks, it works

Summary :

Code:

setxkbmap:  --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
xkbcomp:  --with-xkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
xorg-server:  --with-xkb-path=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
xorg-server-xwayland : -Dxkb_dir=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
libxkbcommon :  -Dxkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb  \

Since this is sticky I am going to go ahead and assume this is now the official request thread. I believe this has already been requested, but adding Grub and rEFInd as default bootloader choices during the install would be great.

qunying · 02-10-2022, 05:47 PM

I would like to see cppcheck is added.

tramtrist · 02-10-2022, 06:13 PM

Mentioned before but a meson upgrade is hopefully in the works

Now you tell me!

I've spent the last few of hours messing with this and finally just installed a backup. I think, after this, for the first time in years, I'm going stop using -current and only "upgrade" when there is a serious security problem.

First rule of "Current Club". Wait a day and see if it works before updating.

I've spent all evening bug fixing and polishing my slackup/slackscan scripts, so thankfully been too busy to trip over these yet.
