Applications and Porting / Riscy Slack Extras
« on: July 24, 2020, 12:25:11 pm »
I added an Extra folder under the Riscy Slack mirror, https://mirror.riscyslack.org/Extra

I've been working on building packages for some extra applications I use on Slackware.
Some are built from SlackBuilds as they were dependencies I needed.
The Extra mirror works with Slackpkg+

Currently I added:

Blender
Home Bank
Nextcloud Desktop sync client
Mono
OpenAL
Abiword
Cereal
dcmtk
deb2tgz
freealut
jack
libofx
numpy3
opencollada
opencolorio
openimageio
ovmf
pybind
robin-map
tbb
valgrind
yaml-cpp
wv


I'm also working on trying to get Prusa Slic3r built.

Anyone know what driver is used for the Blackbird?

Blackbird / RAM slot B1 not showing
« on: July 15, 2020, 10:36:42 pm »
The system says something is there, but it doesn't show the size.
I didn't notice any errors on boot.

I swapped the modules around to see if it worked with the one that wasn't detecting and it works fine in the A1 slot.

I've read some systems use half the RAM for ECC, so you can only use half of what is installed.
Does the Blackbird do something like that?

Operating Systems and Porting / Slackware64-Current
« on: June 23, 2020, 10:59:29 am »
I have been working on rebuilding Slackware64 Current on my Blackbird.
Its mostly there now, though a few applications are having some issues that need sorted.
I also need to find a place to host the packages.

I'm trying to sort out the boot requirements for creating an install image.
I understand Petitboot does a scan and is supposed to auto detect OSes.

What specifically is it scanning for?
Is there info somewhere on what needs to be setup for it to detect the installed OS?
