[08:21] you'll want to use hostapd, dhcpd, and iptables to get your router setup and working [08:22] then squid can be useful too [08:22] Constantinegggfg (~uaconstan@balalayka.univ.kiev.ua) left irc: Quit: Constantinegggfg [08:24] zaltekk: I don't have a router.

[08:25] you run hostapd to allow the connections, run dhcpd to configure the client's ip and dns, use brctl to bridge the connections, and use iptables to enable NAT and optionally firewall the clients [08:27] gnubien (~e@unaffiliated/gnubien) joined ##slackware. [08:27] zaltekk: with iptables i can restrict traffic just to my laptops MAC, right? [08:27] Azeotrope: hostapd would be the best place to restrict mac addresses [08:27] as well as setup wpa2 encryption [08:27] ok [08:28] the problem is that i only know how to use sbopkg or slackbuild, and those packages are kinda outdated. i don't know how to compile [08:28] Constantinegggfg (~uaconstan@balalayka.univ.kiev.ua) joined ##slackware. [08:29] i've downloaded the latest tarball, cd-ed to src folder but..

[16:12] devicekit works incredibly good and has never caused me problems, unlike HAL [16:12] So, for nvidia drivers, I'll need to download stuff from slackbuilds.org? Or should I just use the official stuff from nvidia? [16:12] or in a fresh chroot, or even a non fresh one [16:12] NoelleRousell: I guess no, but you don't really need chroot [16:12] belak: official stuff [16:13] installpkg uses chroot [16:13] NoelleRousell: what is the difference? [16:13] you just need to cd into your slackware repository, and then run ROOT=FRESH_ROOT installpkg a/*.t?z ap/*.t?z ...for the other series... [16:13] belak: well i guess the only bad thing about nvidia's drivers are that yhey nuke MESAGL glx.so....but thats a good thing :P [16:13] NoelleRousell: it is not hard, use "installpkg --root /path/to/chroot" ... what Ivshti said [16:14] then update gtk, icon cache stuff [16:14] oh no, it's updated by rc.M [16:14] alienBOB: can you just do taht for all packages and expect to have a working'ish system? [16:14] yes [16:14] in the past X required font caches to be updated [16:14] maybe some /etc things missing [16:14] I don't need this now [16:14] oh, and you need to set the clock [16:14] mostly ought to work [16:14] and to update your fstab [16:14] NoelleRousell: you have to do a little tweaking, but yes [16:14] yes, and hostname [16:15] belak: i always just use the nvidia.run file...because what good is a slackware package that has to be recompiled for your new kernel anyway...and the nvidia.run always obliterates old installs (uninstalls) before compiling a new one [16:15] NoelleRousell: ok [16:15] couldn't belak just mount --bind /etc $CHROOT/etc ?

[17:15] hmm [17:15] when dbus with nodaemon finishes, it means that it has already started dbus [17:16] when the dbus process with -nodaemon starts, [17:16] it starts only the process [17:16] um, get the pid from /proc ? [17:16] it's better to run dbus without -nodaemon and wait it to finish and then declare it started [17:16] or something ? [17:16] yes, it uses the PID to check when it runs [17:16] yeah that's simple [17:16] but it considers it started when "dbus" command finishes [17:17] then it forks the daemon into a separate process [17:17] and that's what you want to depend on ? [17:17] are there any problems from --nodaemon ? [17:18] (i haven't gotten my hands dirty with this kind of stuff, but it sounds fun :) ) [17:19] yes [17:19] Q_ (Q@host82-114-dynamic.43-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) joined ##slackware. [17:19] dependent things start exactly after this [17:19] after the process is started [17:19] hello guys [17:19] but it takes a fraction of the second to declare dbus for started [17:20] and dependent stuff finds it non-running [17:20] in slackware 13 where is the ifcfg script ?

[17:23] Ivshti: are you using any startup optimization tools (like something to visualize startup) ?
