here all links work well. dpkg is debian package manager, its neede tu use the command deb2lzm, transformin debian packages in lzm module, a nice tool for linux beginner like myself
OK, sadrunk, I have three more request before I officialy declare I love you: VLC, MySQL and Apache Tomcat! The other modules that you created seem to work pretty well! Thanx!
I used to keep a local copy of the donwloaded modules for Slax 5. Most of the times I saved the html page as well, so that I can easily find the "official" instructions by the author, comments by others, etc.
-This is not a professional hosting, nor a dedicated server... it is my own main PC working a simple server at home. So, don't expect it to be alive more than some hours a day.
-The html descriptions were saved using IR, Firefox, Opera and Konqueror, sometimes with all related files, others only plain html.
-It is not a complete mirror; it is just one folder in my HD not intended to be anything else. And only modules that I was interested in are there.
So far, I have built :
gkrellm2
nano
nedit
rxvt
tuxcmd
vnc
wmaker
As you can see, some of them are just useless if you intend to use KDE, but as KDE really takes much RAM memory, I decided to switch to another desktop.
(Actually, windowmaker comes from slackware, i couldnt build it properly :( )
NB : I didnt really build them "the righ way" (neiter i686/O3 optimizations, nor KDE/XFCE menu shortcuts)
I have my modules up here http://apage43.ninjawhale.com/slackmods
I have truecrypt and openvpn, but include startup scripts to set them up, also I have the your-freedom client, the shortcut for which points to the location the slackware jre packages put java.
ljepava pls post ur modules on a better share site =/ rapidshare is horrible, and if possible post all modules on same msg, it keep the topic "cleaner"
Just wanted to make a few module requests, if any kind-hearted gurus feel like making them.
MySQL
PHP
PERL (I might remember seeing PERL in slax 6, if so sorry for requesting it.)
Basically I'm looking for the modules that will let me recreate 5.1.8.1 Server Edition.
I did a quick walk through of slax 6, and I saw kwrite, but not kate. If that is true, I'd love to see a kate module as well.
If you can't guess, I'm a student learning all of the above ( as well as learning linux using slackware, so slax is a GREAT tool for me). We are just starting with compiling kernels in class, so hopefully soon I will be able to try making modules myself!
skelter > perl seems to be included in Slax6 (at least, i got perl, perlcc, perlbug, and few others :) )
I might try to build Apache/php/MySQL packages, but i think some people have already made them
Gonna check on the forum
Edit : somebody made a xampp/lampp module, you may be interested
Ok here is a noMachine module. It has the client,node, and server.
It will over write /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow /etc/groups and /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
noMachine does not allow root loging even though you should be able to set it in the /usr/NX/etc/nxserver.cfg if you would like to more about why you can't log in as root take a look here http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR04D00377
I have created a new user named slax with a password of xals you can use su,sudo, or kdesu if you need to preform root jobs. I never could get the icons to linkup right so no nxclient icons will show in kde, but you can use /usr/NX/bin/nxclient if you want to try and make it work on the localhost other wise just download the nx client from http://www.nomachine.com/download.php and install it on some other system and nx into your slax box
also end the end I chose not to remove the documentation and other stuff since this is not all open source software and I did not want to get into any problems for not having the right notices in there
Hopefully some one els will take it upon them self to pretty this module up for the commuinty. But is should work just fine as is.
I want mplayer firefox plugin. I'm using media player connectivity to play media in firefox.
Firefox font are terrible. Opera is much better in display but can't manage to play video
at the moment.
@ben_coh:
Do you know how to connect to MySQL ? I've tried "$> mysql --user=root --password=" but it doesn't work. It says "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)". Does anyone have any idea on what it is?
Thanx for the cool modules
You have to initialize the mysql databases first. Use '/usr/bin/mysql_install_db" to do this. After that run '/usr/bin/mysqld_safe &' (the & is to make it run in the background) or you can just run the startup script '/etc/rc.d/rc.myslqd start' (if you get a permissions error, do a chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.myslqd then run it again).
Then make sure you set a password for your access to mysql db with the following:
where is the password you set. There is a problem sometimes when the permissions of the databases are not correctly set. The files in /var/lib/myssql should all be owned by mysql and grouped under mysql. Simple way to deal with this is to set the permissions before running the 'mysqld_safe &' command :
cd /var/lib/mysql
chmod -R mysql:mysql *
You can check out webmin (www.webmin.com) for a web based administration portal that will allow you to administer a lot of the services (including mysql) easily. The command line can be rather daunting especially for new users. For the webmin mysql control, you'll need to supply the you set when you run the webmin mysql control for the 1st time.
(I haven't tested it with php-5/mysql-5 yet, but it should work in my opinion)
About the module :
It seems that you can't use the php-5 module without the mysql-5 module
(probably because I built it with the --with-mysql configure option)
I used to keep a local copy of the donwloaded modules for Slax 5. Most of the times I saved the html page as well, so that I can easily find the "official" instructions by the author, comments by others, etc.
http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slax/modules/ has it all from Slax5. I use WinHTTrack to get the whole 16-20G in case it goes down... I do not know if I will keep it all or not, I suppose that will depend on how long it takes me to actually get the 500G ext i've been contemplating for months.
@markds,
It seemed like the problem was that the server wasn't running. Sorry, but I have always configured it so it could power on by default on startup. Anyway, it works fine with '/usr/bin/mysqld_safe &' but it seems that there is no startup script in '/etc/rc.d'. Doesn't matter 'cause I only wanted to have it working in a way or another. Thank you for the help.
You can copy the following as /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld and do a chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld. This will make it executable and should start up everytime you boot.
# To allow outside connections to the database comment out the next line.
# If you don't need incoming network connections, then leave the line
# uncommented to improve system security.

@markds:
Didn't necessarily need it, but thanx anyway. Maybe someone else will need it. Anyway, I found out that if you have no root password, then you can connect directly by using the "mysql" command without any parameters. Cool!! I think that's awesome for someone who needs to experiment a lot!
im trying to make a nvidia module, but im just a normal user adventuring in slax =] and its been hard to get something functional. i remember i have a nice module of nvidia in slax 5 (its stays on /optional/ so if i use on a computer with nvidia i use load= to use it), anyone have any idea how to do it?
There's a problem with the VirtualBox module: when I make the initial configuration VirtualBox creates an .XML file in /root/.VirtualBox folder that is corrupt. The second time I try to open VirtualBox it doesn't work. Anyway, I found out that it works if you delete the .XML but you have to remake the initial configuration that creates the .XML file, and so on. Basically, every time you want to use the program you have to delete the .XML file and make the initial configuration.

Seems like we are trying to do the same thing you and I. I am to venturing in to uncharted waters but it's fun. I've built a Nvidia 169.12 module but I'm not sure if it's perfect. Try it out if you like:
I have also configured Slax to boot up with the nvidia module and also a module containing a edited xorg.conf file. It seems to work well.
What you have to do is to edit /boot/slax.cfg to get an extra option on bootup.
I just added this to the file before the rest of the boot options
LABEL home
MENU LABEL Slax Graphics mode (KDE) Home
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=telinit~4 load=egen.xorg;nvidia
TEXT HELP
More about currently selected:
Run Slax the best way we can.
With costom modules loaded for xorg and nvidia.
No changes saved.
ENDTEXT
As you may see I copied the default option and edited it. I removed xconf so that it wouldn't override my own xorg.conf, I also removed changes=/slax/ because I want a new Slax every reboot. Then I just added load= and my xorg and nvidia modules that are situated in /slax/optional.
A question, the Nvidia module you uploaded, I couldn't find any newer driver than 169.12 at nvidia's site. Is it a beta? In that case I'll check it out.
Here are a few I made: (I'll add/edit as I come up with any more not posted elsewhere)
Audacity: (With dependencies)
--Audacity 1.3.4 is broken; here, Zenwalk and Ubuntu so I am removing it...
--Will be working on Traverso DAW as an alternative, but it has a LOT of deps, so will take a while
Pidgin with dependencies and the Purple Plugin Pack (including groupmsg/Group IM)
:( This no longer works in 6.0.4, seems to be missing SASL, I tried adding it, but still no-go
Using tgz2lzm, making Slax modules is quite painless.
Unfortunately I don't always have access to my slax installation.
I do, however, have access to Slackware in VMWare, so...
here's how to make Slax modules in Slackware or Zenwalk Linux:
-First, download the following: http://crnaz.net/temp/Slax/tgz2lzm-tools.tar.gz
-Then unzip it
-Copy liblinuxlive to /usr/lib
-Copy everything else to /usr/bin
-Make sure they're executable:
chmod +x /usr/bin/tgz2lzm
chmod +x /usr/bin/dir2lzm
chmod +x /usr/bin/lzm2dir
chmod +x /usr/bin/mksquashfs
chmod +x /usr/bin/unsquashfs
-At this point you should be able to run tgz2lzm just like you would in Slax! (as root)
For all :
I uploaded a gkrellm plugin, that should allow you to change your keyboard layout :
gkrellm-xkb-plugin
It doesnt work with KDE, but if some people want to test it (without KDE) ....
nah, ben_coh, still does the same thing. And I really wanted to run Audacity too, making a sound machine and wanted linux for it, but need things straightened out first. Booting it from USB key gives me an entire drive to use and some security as there's no operating system formally on the computer
I'm web prog and eclipse is only thing I know :-) ... if you have some suggestions ... :-) and I have a problems with apache2-php5-mysql5.lzm module ... (httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libaprutil-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Errr ..... sorry about that ..... :(
I thought it worked well though (I tested it if I remember well ... :D ) .... or maybe I uploaded the wrong lzm .....
Anyway, I'll check it tomorrow.....
And about the web development .... NEdit ? :P
(I personally only use good text editors, and try to keep it organised :D)
but this thread is great, I'm offering hosting of modules for slax 6 on my own server (100mb connection czech/ 100mb world) ftp login on request ... without restrictions and advertisements :-D ... and ... I can of course work with any texteditor but I'm building own CMS and Right now I really need something like ZEND or this bloody dreamweaver :-)
Regarding the lamp module, I had the exact same problems, as well as the missing rc.mysqld in /etc/rc.d. I didn't want to be a pest, so I downloaded:
mysql 5.0.51
php 5.2.5
httpd 2.2.8
in .tgz from the slackware.com package site. I then used the command line tgz2lzm to convert each package into a slackware module. I'm pretty sure this isn't how Tomas wants 'public' modules made, as I didn't remove any of the bloat or do anything else in the "How to make modules the right way" tutorial. But anyone who wants to reproduce the effect can do so very easily.
The following is a rehash of prior instructions.
After installing the modules and rebooting:
First go to /usr/bin and run ./mysql_install_db
Second, still in /usr/bin run ./mysqld_safe &
Third, mysqladmin -u root password 'yourpassword'
[Note: use that command exactly, replacing only the yourpassword with what you choose to use. Leave it inside single quotes.]
Fourth, navigate to /etc/rc.d and chmod 755 rc.mysqld
Last, ./rc.mysqld start
Reboot; mysql should be running in the background. Test this with mysqladmin -u root -p version
or simply by logging into mysql.
This method with the converted .tgz mysql package was successfull on 3 different computers with three different USB sticks, which makes me relatively confident it is cross-platform effective. (Yes, I did 9 tests. I have never considered posting how to do something with linux before in my life, and I really didn't want it to be fubar'd.).
Edit: Just to be clear, I only tested teh mysql package. I haven't tried setting up the apache2 server with the php... I have never done it before. But I'm going to try on a regular slackware install and then see if I can translate it into slax.
About MySQL : I don't think that the rc.mysqld is really part of the official mysql package, but I rather think that it is included in the Slackware package (as well as in other systems, I think).
@em
I've installed the new version of Slax (that unfortunatelly came with no Sirene feature =))) and it seems that VirtualBox works fine now. I get no corrupted XML no matter how many times I use it. Now I have DOS6.22 and Windows 3.11 on my pen drive Slax Installation. Who would have ever thought 15 years a go that that thing could be possible.
Hello.. can anyone help me? i don't know what software/module to use with slax so i can connect my mobile phone to my PC through bluetooth connection.. Thank you..
I have emailed the gkrellm-2.3.1.lzm and wvdial-1.60.lzm using SonofFree's account. Hope that they are useful. Thanks to all you guys for your work and help.
Takes me to the page just fine. Problem is, when I try to download one of them. And I'm using Firefox too. I've also tried innernet exploder and opera and konqueror
I really need the stuff maddslacker posted. Audacity and the dependencies and plugins. I still get the same webpage that I got before, even when following the links that were posted below. Please oh please.
Many of the modules I posted there I got from ur links to easyshare.
Yes you can upload I just set it up really fast, but I did not get a chance to test it yet so let me know if it works. I will add them to the web server as soon as I get back and get some sleep.
NOTE: Please do not abuse this server or use it for any other purpose than to upload modules for Slax, so I can add them to the web server. I read the log files quite often and I will disable it and stop working on gathering modules if people abuse it.
You could try downloading aMule module 2.1.2.2 from ftp://galinux.myftp.org/galinux-slax/modulos/ and renaming it to lzm. It worked for me with Slax 5.1.7. The FTP server is sometimes down.
I'm still a newbie, but I have a website that I have been sitting on since about 1997 and just using occasionally for personal things here and there. This year they upgraded the server offerings. I can certainly host the modules until Thomas is up and running. Just a clean link with a list you can download the files by right clicking, no ads, no passwords, etc. The only problem is that I will have to collect the modules and then upload and update them myself. So for nostalgic reasons, here is a link of what I made for reference to the old modules:
Yes, 581, I had a dyslexic moment and went too far to change it anytime soon.
I will add a folder over the next few days to handle the version 6 modules. It may be faster if you email me a working module and I will post that rather than hunting them all down. Tell me what category it should be in too, I'm still learning the names of Linux software.
brad@homesopen.com - please send only 1 module per E-Mail to avoid my server thinking there is something wrong.
Thank you to all who contribute to this awsome OS, especially Thomas! : )
I am just a user even new to Linux world. The problem is what to do with modules named *.lzm.exe. Slax does not accept them even thogh they are renamed as *.lzm.

I'm just running to catch up to everyones handywork. I'm glad you like it. The real credit for the initial setup goes to mpchopper. No sense waisting commercial server space when my Slax friends need a place to park for a while. : )
added Boot USB from CD iso in Misc category. Also will be uploading the games today hopefully. The small ones are there, just not Battlefield. Hopefully I can get Battlefield up today, big files.....
Hi, could anyone please tell me why AMAROK does not work? It shows the splash screen for a second and then nothing happens:( Any gueses?
(I downloaded the version from rapidshare - linked on this forum)
In previous version of slax (6.0.0) worked with no problem...what is wrong then?
I just tried Amarok too, the version I am hosting came from rapid share also. Same problem, splash, then nothing. Could it be that there is a dependency, or a file that is the wrong version like libexpat or something?
Also, I just finished uploading the Battlefield modules last night, so all of the games listed in the games section should be available now. Remember to right click and "save as" from my site.
Anyone can help get Amarok to work? I dont know what is the couse of the problem:( I really liked that player...Maybe we could find new version of this "lib-something-pat"? If anyone solve this issue, please post how to do that:)
Does anyone know how to make frozen-bubble 2 working package. I made package from slackware tgz but I have problems with SDL and perl ( I install SDL_perl and all depediences).
They are under the Slax 6 Modules. Have given acknowledgements at the top of the page to you guys. I'm trying to make a one stop repository. I am thinking of adding upload in the future so anyone can upload their modules, just figuring the security aspect first.
No reason to mind. Lets just keep eachother informed as much as possible. When Thomas is ready to activate the modules page, it would be nice if he didn't have to chase down modules across 50 different sites.

Also, dumb question, but have you tried wget from the command line?
I've made the XMAME and GXMAME modules (Archade Games Emulators :D) but don't know where the upload them. I hate (!!!) rapidshare and megaupload so if anyone needs them, please let me know his e-mail and I will e-mail them!
Great Job guys! I see the modules are on many pages. I have uploaded slmodem-2.9.11-20070813-for-slax.lzm on SonofFree's gmail account it uses GSPACE and hopefully will be updated to http://www.homesopen.com/slax6/ and everywhere they are welcomed. Hope that Tomas picks up many of the modules found on the pages mentioned above.

Still it will be great if somebody will create a working Amarok module:)I'm working on this, but in the meantime, have you tried xmms? It runs perfectly from the module linked above.
The vboxkern-600 contains the VirtualBox kernel module, for Slax 6.0.0
If you want to use it on another Slax 6 version, you need to load the virtualbox module, then : /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup
/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv start
If you use the changes system, you'll need to run this only once ...
I might build a kernel module for 6.0.1/6.0.2 (but I'll need to boot on a 6.0.1 ...)
If anybody would like to build it, please show up :)
Actually you guys don't need to keep making new modules. The problem with SLAX 6.0.3 is that Tomas took out the gnutls package. Just download the gnutls packagae from packages.slackware.it and convert it to a lzm. Everything will work again. Tomas took it out because he thought its not used by SLAX (he mentioned so in another topic), doesn't mean you can't make a module to put it back.
Nice... maddslacker - your modules work like they should, thanks a lot! You've shortened my suffering:) Can you post how did you managed to get amarok to work properly?

I've uploaded a module that is a script written by me.
With this you can save changes in a lzm module.
If you need to delete some changes you must do it in a temporary folder while the script is running.
The first time you can boot slax with your old changes, but then you can always boot in Fresh mode and choose to save your changes when you want.
I'd like you will enjoy it.

I made a copy of the download link in messengers. : )
is this the official BT2 server btw?, im using the BT2 final purely because i wanted
wireless apps and it was slax 6 based AFAIK so is able to use these v6 modules in
this thread at least i thought so...
the thing is i grabed a VLC VLC_Media_Player_0_8_4a.mo from somewere and renamed it VLC_Media_Player_0_8_4a.mo.lzm ,double clicked it over a network mounted drive
and it works, i was happy to be able to play some video.
so BT2 works with that module, on finding your BT-server link i was even happyer
as your serveris the only one so far that has the madwifi-0.9.4_AR5007.i386mds.lzm
and madwifi_0.9.4.i386mds.lzm .
however these and every single lzm module iv tryed from this thread so far do not load up
into my BT2, erroring every time, so i dont even know if your madwifi modules will work with my
internal laptop card.
am i doing something wrong or do i need another slax image to take these v6 modules ?.
even when i get the right slax 6.? iso , will your madwifi work for me, heres the
MW ticket were they say it did work for their/my Toshiba Satellite Pro A200-1OJ -
laptop only last month.
http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679 comment 79

It works in a Toshiba A200 1NH with 2.6.23 kernel (Debian SID) with a 2.6.24-2 it doesn't compile (Debian SID) "

I appreciate your candor. I wish more people I meet in the real world would have such a respectful and caring attitude like yours.

Sorry guys, I misspelled ImageMagic, I left of the letter K. It should work now. I also put too many ..... before lzm on the other link. Both are working now.
Thank you very much bhunter736. That was the problem. Hope that those modules are of use to Slax users. If there are other modules that are not there and are needed please let me know so that I can try to create one for all users.
did anyone get a chance to look at that http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679 comment 79
to made the driver module ? apparently that chip is in several new laptops and only just became usable so its a really needed wireless driver for many people.
and/or the worker url ?, that filemanager would be so good to have
I had tested it in slax6rc6 and it works (at least it starts as I merely started it . I haven't really used it yet).
I compiled this into an LZM, a very large one, and it opens, but Word did NOT work. It would open docs but couldn't edit them, and new docs allowed typing but no selection of text, or keyboard navigation.
" I compiled this into an LZM, a very large one, and it opens, but Word did NOT work"
It's a tgz package so you don't have to compiled it !!! Just convert it into a lzm directly using tgz2lzm in a terminal.
tgz2lzm filename.tgz filename.lzm (replace filename with the full actual filename). I had already used it (calc) to wrote and print some document Java is optional. I had tested it in slax6rc6 and slax6.02

By 'compile' that's what I meant tgz2lzm. If you have Word working, let me know what you did different.
For the size of it, I may just stick with kwrite that's built in.
I had tested the openoffice 2.4 . Both Word and Calc can edit , save and print with no problem. Gusterrapolis in another post also repored the same . Perhaps a bad dowbload ?.
I think theres a need to redo the modules that compile drivers for the kernel since the kernel version has changed in SLAX 6.0.3. Could those with modules which include drivers update and maybe seperate the modules for SLAX 6.0.0 and SLAX 6.0.3? I'm recomiling my modules which have drivers and appending "-slax600" or "-slax603" to the module name to differentiate the 2.
Yes, the modules that are kernel dependent i.e., live in /lib/modules/2.6.24.3/ need to be recompiled against the kernel for the version that they are for. Slax 6.0.2 runs 2.6.24 and Slax 6.0.3 runs 2.6.24.3. I have done that for slmodemd-20080324.lzm and for martian-full-20071011-slax-6.0.3.lzm and added that distinction. Otherwise the modules will not function correctly.
I created an lzm for maxima, maxima works, but xmaxima, or maxima-gui does not. I also tried to compile octave, but I encountered some errors about fortran libraries/functions. Will get back to this later.

Hmmm, I would have thought the broadcom wifi module I'm using would be one of these, but it appears unaffected...
Yes, I noted that when I mirrored your modules from bhunter's site. Thanks.

It appeared that the madwifi drivers I compiled for 2.6.24 were fine too. The drivers loaded normally (lsmod shows them loaded) but didn't identify the card with iwconfig. A recompile on 2.6.24.3 solved it immediately.

My broadcom is still working as intended, no changes needed...
An easy way to get some apps working in Slax is to simply compile them from source, if you are missing some libraries or packages required to build any apps on Slax - go to http://packages.slackware.it/
You will most likely find the required libs or packages there in the '.tgz' format - after downloading one, simply use the tgz2lzm utility to create a module and add it to the modules folder.
Any apps compiled from source needn't be lost due to the fact that Slax 6 has great persistence.
Thanks EDU-Nix for sharing your modules. Will try to check them out when I have a chance.
To other users, I have created a Kaffeine Module with all codecs, libdvdread, libdvdcss2, only gotcha is there is no dvb support. I tried to post it to bhunter's page, but maybe it is too big. If anyone is interested to try it out, I can mail it so that it can be posted and tried out and been given comments.
Also, since slax contains mplayer already which plays a big amount of files except real media, and other file formats. I believe that Tomas uses essential codecs from mplayer page, if he were to include all the codecs, how much more space would it take up. all codecs is 13.1 MB(13.2), while essential is like 8.9 or something like that, actually is 9.5
Also, the codecs are stored in which folder? /usr/local/lib/codecs, /usr/lib/win32 or ?. I have heard of other users recompiling mplayer so that it can play everything under the sun. I know that it might be too much to ask for, but 3.7 MB is not that much in my opinion.
The slmodemd for slax604, and martian-full for slax604 were successfully uploaded. Yet the kaffeine one was rejected. I can try later, but am off for the weeked without a high speed connection using dialup currently. Thanks for your hosting of the modules I am pretty sure many slax users appreciate your kindness and other that host module pages as well. Also the other users which create pretty solid modules as well.

By the way, I have added a Slax 6.0.4 specific modules section since we don't seem to know when the official site will be open and ready. I can see the modules starting to blend together already. So the link for new ones is:
Yes Pastrugno, if the modules are not kernel dependent they should work like normal. If there were no major library changes, then they should work like normal. If they depend on the kernel, then they will not work :( This is why Tomas wants to carefully test the modules and chose the best ones so that they will work as they are advertised.
slax 6.0.2 and prior use 2.6.24
slax 6.0.3 uses 2.6.24.3
slax 6.0.4 uses 2.6.24.4
BTW, you have some very good modules Pastrugno, did you use tgz2lzm or compile from source. For instance the Firefox one, has a bunch of languages, you have an Italian one for Italian users and the English one for the othere. You managed to include the jre as well, and make all the symbolic links which is pretty awesome. I have tried to create some modules, but have failed because of missing libraries and other programs that are dependent upon them. I will keep trying though.
Sometimes I use tgz2lzm, sometimes I compile my modules from source or by deb2lzm.
Anyway each time I test them on a standard Slax installation and then I modify them adding what I need.
That'all.
Bye
in terminal,but I don,t understand why is 16mb and mine is 12 mb.
-------------------
I don,t have any problem to people share my modules but please make sure that work properly before and if you retouch module put your firm inside to slax final user know who made the module.
Sorry, again,module is working but is 3mb big ,perhaps was made in slax6_rc6?
I only want that modules works OK.You can share it with my docs if you want.You made a good module.You can put your name in it,because now is your way to made virtualbox and is OK.Modules are online to people share it.
And my doc is not only mine is for all slax people.
In the past some modulemakers share his/her modules without a minimal verification and this behaviour causes a lot of problems.
Most important rule is tested modules in slax clean installation to see if can work to the most people.
After this, some module maker can do mistakes (like mine, a lot of times) but is not important if you tried to made good.
Apologies, I don't know how, but I completely missed your post.
BT2 is based on the lzm module structure no doubt, but it does not use the same kernel, hence your driver modules will definitely fail. BT2 runs on a modified 2.6.20 kernel of the Slax 6RC, while the final Slax 6 runs on 2.6.24.x (depending on which version of Slax 6 you have). Even BT3 beta runs 2.6.21.5 so using that is also out of the question. The modules on my site were compiled for Slax 6 so any module that creates driver files (*.ko) will not run on your BT2. Most of the application modules will run without a hitch however.
For the AR5007EG driver, BT doesn't have that patch so yes you will need a new driver for it. I've compiled it for the BT2 Final here :
is this the official BT2 server btw?, im using the BT2 final purely because i wanted
wireless apps and it was slax 6 based AFAIK so is able to use these v6 modules in
this thread at least i thought so...
the thing is i grabed a VLC VLC_Media_Player_0_8_4a.mo from somewere and renamed it VLC_Media_Player_0_8_4a.mo.lzm ,double clicked it over a network mounted drive
and it works, i was happy to be able to play some video.
so BT2 works with that module, on finding your BT-server link i was even happyer
as your serveris the only one so far that has the madwifi-0.9.4_AR5007.i386mds.lzm
and madwifi_0.9.4.i386mds.lzm .
however these and every single lzm module iv tryed from this thread so far do not load up
into my BT2, erroring every time, so i dont even know if your madwifi modules will work with my
internal laptop card.
am i doing something wrong or do i need another slax image to take these v6 modules ?.
even when i get the right slax 6.? iso , will your madwifi work for me, heres the
MW ticket were they say it did work for their/my Toshiba Satellite Pro A200-1OJ -
laptop only last month.
http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679 comment 79
"02/14/08 22:10:49 changed by migatxu ¶
It works in a Toshiba A200 1NH with 2.6.23 kernel (Debian SID) with a 2.6.24-2 it doesn't compile (Debian SID) "
so assuming i get the right slax6.? can someone make this most important wireless driver update
from the supplyed ticket above
and also, id love to see a worker module too if thats ok please.
http://www.boomerangsworld.de/worker/
"Worker is a file manager for X-Window on UNIX.

Does somebody already done a slax package for the laste version of :
Really needed :
krusader,
retrospekt,
basket,
kmplayer,
kompare,
kmano,
ktranslator,
kontact (including use of kadressbook, akregator, basket, kmail, ...),
kopete,
kwebdevelop (with all plugins : css editor, ...),
kchmviewer
Nice to have :
kgrubeditor,
ktoon,
inkscape,
manslide,
digikam image editor (and digikamplugins),
kdenlive,
can all the configurations be made and being store permanently into the slax cd?
so next time when i boot slax up not on only my machine but other machine as well
clamAV module will be loaded up and it will start scanning automatically without any further configurations?

sorry for being so long in replying , i lost the links, and iv been busy catching up onthe UK ISP/phorm storm if you have read about that, it really bad, they intend intercepting all your BB data stream for profit
ill get around to trying the driver later if i can and i might need to understand how best to use BT2 for the data capture if and when they start this VM DPI trial.....

Could you pls explain what exactly you did in full detail to a newbie.
I have an intel media accelerator 3300 video card , i think the problem with this module is that it cant handle autodepth of 32 , it need 24 , but i dont know how to change it . I tried running emerald from the fusion icon and it didnt work , i also did emerald in console and emerald --replace . nothing worked
Stepan you ask a lot. It is a glx drivers from ati. Those drivers tat bypasses the Xorg functions. Instead they talk directly with the videocard and via Xorg to the card. Dunno if that made you wiser, but some of your questions are quite complex

Thanks for the answer :) Sorry , I found out only recently that slax was back and it just made me hyper :P I will slow down the questions
Update: I tried running it on the pc and it worked :D i guess there was a problem with virtualbox xD . The only problem is that the icons don't show but that's because i edited 003-desktop.lzm and changed icons. Also , do you guys know how i can make a module that makes the k-menu be on the top?
thanks markds for your time and making those modules.
iv still got the problem though and im finding it rather hard to make the time to pin it down, what i can
say is that it been a long time since i mesed with linux and makeing slax 5 live cd's with the windows modules tool and have almost forgoten how to use the shell wireless tools again doh!
no matter, what i seem to have found is that the BT3beta seems to know the chip and appears to work upto a point although i cant see any APs and my ap's power supply has gone pop ;( need to replace that soon.
so its hard to know if the bt3beta driver is fully working as i dont seem to have any aps in range that are visible and the supplyed bt3 wireless snopping app crashes out before it gets to the display.
in bt3 i do see
"wifi0 no wireless extensions.
ath0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:""

"
so that i assume is working with that older kernel.
there also arreases to be some confusion with the real chip names
on the bottom of my samsung the sticker says its an "AR5BXB63"
however iv also read this
"Well, I think, I stated not clear enough, that the AR5007EG is, technically a chipset AR2425. But the chipset AR5BXB63 is also presenting itself as AR5007EG! And, of course, doesn't work with this (http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679)."
I thought that I would post this as I had searched hi and low to get my AR5007EG wireless working. As many are aware there are a lot of sources to get this wireless working, but often incomplete. Through a series of websites and how to's, I managed to get my Atheros AR5007EG working in an Aspire 3680 (it has a soft switch at the front). Use this at your own risk and there are no guarantees it will work. You will have to be connected through a wired connection. Here's what I did as root:
1. Open Terminal and su -
2. cd to your user home directory update your system
# yum -y update
3. make sure you have the kernel-devel installed:
# rpm -qa | grep kernel
if not:
# yum install kernel-devel
reboot required
4. make sure you have gcc installed
# rpm -qa | grep gcc
if not:
yum install gcc
reboot required
6. erase all ndiswrapper and madwifi drivers if you have them
# rpm -qa | grep ndiswrapper
if its there:
# yum erase ndiswrapper
7. for madwifi follow step 6 but change ndiswrapper to madwifi
8. if you have built either ndiswrapper or madwifi by source then cd to their respective source directories and:
# make uninstall
# make clean
9. this is important - Fedora 8 by default will load ath5k this module has to be removed
# rmmod ath5k
10. blacklist this in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist using your favorite editor (gedit)
# gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
add the following line at the end of the file
blacklist ath5k
save the file and exit
11. now install the madwifi driver:
# tar zxvf madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
# cd madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007
# make
# make install
12. load the module
# modprobe ath_pci
now make sure the driver was loaded - Fedora 8 uses wlan0 rather than eth0:
# /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
scan for AP
# iwlist wlan0 scan
if the driver was installed you should see the APs - on my notebook no lights flashed
if not repeat the steps
to connect to an AP use either network manager or wpa_supllicant
I hope this helps.
Good luck[/QUOTE]
Works! However it wasnt that easy. A network-script wasnt created, so that needed to be done. Also I had to delete the previous wifi card "wlan0.bak". It took some toying around to figure that out.

-Drivers
driver for adsl usb modem actiontec (using ndiswrapper 1.51) Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0451:6001 Texas Instruments, Inc. AU5 ADSL Modem http://www.homesopen.com/slax6/upload/ndis_actiontec_v0.1-c.lzm
(basic instructions in /usr/share/doc/au5_adsl)
it is working on 6.0.0 and 6.0.5 (not tested on 6.0.3) not kernel-dependant.
Perhaps modules with requirements should test for the necessary resources
then prompt the user in case something is missing. A real newbie wouldn't
even know where to start looking for whatever magic words he needs...
Again, i'm sorry. This is how i can describe me 1st try impression using
a genuine (non-edited) Slax v6.0.6 LiveCD but other people's experience
may vary, who knows. My intention is not to hurt anyone's feelings, i
simply had no luck with these modules and thought the least i could do was
to provide some feedback. Please disregard my post if it feels offending.
Em , Thanks . Sorry for the delay in repplying . It work like a charm , or at least I think so . I only scanned a small usb thumbdrive . Later , I will scan the win xp c drive. The first time it started as expected it ask for the database location. Since the computer I am using is not connected to the internet, anti-virus databse updating is always a bit of the problem . All the while , I been using the portable window version of clamav from a usb ,allowing me to update the database from another computer connected to the internet.
Anyway , I just copied over the portable window clamav's database to the subdirectories indicated by klamav , and it worked.
Em , if you are looking for inspiration to make a new module , can I suggest Slax konfigurator. I read sometime ago based on thge older version that only worked with slax 5 , the creator stated that , he was inspired by MySlaxCreator , which is a Slax iso customisation tool that is meant to worked from window xp.
Konfigurator is meant to worked from linux /slax . I actually run make , checkinstall -S make install , creating a nice tgz which i then convert to lzm . I think it's working as I can mount slax iso , although I haven't tried to customised it yet. It also appear to support slax 5 mo & slax 6 lzm.
Being new / occassional only compiler , I rather not upload my module on an unsuspecting user . Heh..heh , you never know what havoc it may create.
I think a linux answer to MySlaxCreator which is no longer compatible with slax 6 (and I think it is no longer been updated ) will be useful:
Get slax konfigurator (It is listed as slax tools) at:

Thanks . That was fast . So the next time some new user ask about modifying slax iso , we can point to this module in addition to makeslax.sh & isomaster.

P.S. One detail - Does KSnapshot work when rotating cube? I made one snapshot, but it not works now. I need to make some snapshots of how compiz works :)
Your new compiz as great as previous, but a little bug with blinking sometimes some windows, I dont know why, yet.
Compiz snapshot plugin is on, but I dont understand how to use it (=
And Ksnapshot doesn't work too. Ksnapshot works fine with compiz-0-5-1-all.lzm module =)
Sounds strange but for Amarok I needed "ruby" to get rid of annoying warning about problem in default script.

Hello all.
Could someone (maybe "em") please point me to where I could find the .lzm package for Open office 2.4.0 app. I'd like to view my Microsoft Word and Excel docs. Thanks in advance for your help.
Just in case let me ask also another question if I might:
Is there any open source package that can be used with SLAX (which BTW I am new to linux OS and found SLAX to be the best Linux Live OS I have seen, next to Knoppix)that can be used as a universal file viewer in linux to view Windows based files like microsoft office formats.
@JCF
About OpenOffice: look above... There are many sites with modules... As far as I can remember I saw OpenOffice "backtrack" server mentioned by markds
Anyone had success building 'miro' for slax? website: http://getmiro.com
I keep getting problems with xulrunner, which is one of the deps for miro... and haven't been able to go further.
Also, is slapt-get supposed to take a large amount of resources? On my fresh slax, slapt-get works, but on one that is customized with many modules (approx. 150), the system freezes.
Quax, shame it has to come to this, that mirror of yours was pretty awesome. There will always be leeches asking this and that without even bothering to check if its there - what more they expect that you owe it to them to provide what they want. The flip side is that when you provide what they want, other say you're spoon feeding. Exactly why I left the BT forums.
My Avira module wasn't much of a success, i'll never be
able to make it fit the new building rules anyway. Some
of us are condemned to depend on others and that's why
getting the LMO site closed/restricted seems quite a bit
unfortunate to me. Perhaps we can all take it easy for
the coming summer time, i hope next fall will be better.
I just spent all night banging my head against the wall with xulrunner and gconf, even tried to downgrade python to version 2.4 and even 2.1 and came up empty handed. :(

SpiralSynth Modular is an object orientated music studio with an
emphasis on live use. You can use it in a fairly straight forward
way to make tracks with,or get very experimental.Audio or control
data can freely passed between the plugins.Data can also be fed
back on itself for chaotic effects. http://sourceforge.net/projects/spiralmodular
Notes: I don't publish on the site of SLAX, because it is unstable

I don't understand if it depends on my module or it is guilt of the program

X,
Sorry bud, haven't been able to go any further on miro. Problem is that slax freezes part way through the mozilla xulrunner compilation. I am not sure why the compilation freezes the computer. I wonder if there is a way to restrict the amount of cpu/ram that a compiler can use? ...allowing the system to still be usable.
@em:
Ok, but is there the same module for 6.0.5?
It doesn't matter now, I can edit Slax 6.0.5 to load kernel modules like 6.0.7, because my distribution is based on Slax 6.0.5.
Alexmann13 , If XULRunner is your only problem, then we should all try and compile a special version of it especially for slax.
I suspect it would help development of many future applications .
2 Versions might also be preferable , one tuned for i586/i686 the other tuned for i386/i486 .
btw, i have not used those 2 modules and don't take any responsibility if they work - just reposting them to a different site for ppl having problems opening them.

Just thought you should know you've got some bad links.
Just a question, is it any Sopcast (TV streaming) module available somewhere?
I gave a search, but there was no result found. It seems to be available a linux version of this application, but it would be nice to have it as a Slax module.

Why. It is closed source I belive. It only comes as a binary. Why a module. You need the cxx package from Slackware for compability ( i belive it is a gcc3 compiled app). The whole sopcast is just on program/binary called "sp-sc-auth" or "sc-sp-auth" or similar.
You do not even need to pack that binary. Leave it as it is, even on a fat fs. "./sp-sc-auth sopcast://..... . The command line comes with the binary tarball
I searched and did not find powernowd-1.00. So I grabbed the source and built it for myself. Hope it will benefit some of you. BTW, my first module (strictly followed Tomas's instructions). Here it is
I still need to use modprobe to load the kernel module for my processor, and then issue 'powernowd' in one console. I would love to know how to automatically detect the processor and load the kernel module. If this can be done, then no need to type anything anymore.
There are several mplayer available here already. My question is, does your mplayer depend on qt?
I tried to build mplayer .lzm myself from slacky.eu, but its mplayer requires arts which requires qt. That is a HUGE requirement for people not using KDE -- 16M extra. I don't and my mplayer under Debian does not require qt either (it requires arts though).
So, could any one be so kind to build a mplayer .lzm without the qt dependency please?
Should I update the slmodem-20080417.lzm to slmodem-20080625.lzm to reflect code changes and improvements or wait till newer slax release which is coming soon?
As always: run "nvidia-xconfig" when X is not running to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf; then restart X.
If all works well, include the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a local module or your rootcopy/ folder.
(I leave the old module for Kernel 2.6.24.4 as it is for those who still want to use Slax 6.0.6)
hi,
does someone know where to find a tor+privoxy+vidalia-package. I did try installing the components. It seems with rpm2tar / tar2lzm the installation doesn't work. Tor don't offer a slackware package.

Finally im not Santa Claus to! Lol!
I am thankful that you created the modules for me, but none of my requests were directed specifically to you. Please don't bother yourself, if its bothers you. em wrote:
Try to make module by yourself, its really not so difficult, seriously ...
I didn't find any tutorial that would explain in plain terms for newbies with real examples, apart from the obvious tgz2lzm & dir2lzm. I had tried a lot with the little info but failed.
I had asked this question long back in this forum but it seems no one wants to divulge their "secret".
If you can volunteer to provide a tutorial that would be great, else I guess, Slax without modules is of no use for me. em wrote:
And use the search function of the forum please, before requesting a module ...
If you see, all of my requests were for specific versions which I don't think are present in this forum.
On a side note: Don't forget to search http://slax.scribblewiki.com/Module_List when looking for a module, it contains a listing of all modules uploaded to www.slax.org reguardless of verifcation.
Does anyone know if there is an .lzm module for Guarddog 2.6 or any other version. I have searched the many module repositories but have come up empty so far.
@em
I believe you will have to install a program successfully first in your PC (without any errors) and then create its module by dir2lzm. Unfortunately I was not even able to install mplayer plugin as described in its INSTALL file (I got some errors). How did you do it? Do you create the modules in SLAX or use some other distro?
@em
No no, I am not talking about the mplayer plugin lzm module that you created. That is working fine.
I was asking how you created the lzm module. Do you use SLAX to create the modules or some other distro?
Do you first install the program in your distro and then create the module using dir2lzm?
ontherocks62,
By the time you read this I should have finished the last bit of the tutorial (if not only the last two pages should be changing). I got a bit busy and that is why I did not have a chance to finish it earlier.
If anyone finds errors please fix them (don't be afraid to edit it is a wiki after all) and if anyone has any comments then there is this thread and the talk pages on the wiki.
@fundamental
Please add the following tutorials to the wiki
1) How do you create modules of programs that do not have "./configure" (ex. Firefox, Flash player plugin)?
2) How do you create modules of programs that are ".bin" files (ex. RealPlayer)?
3) How do you create modules of programs that are ".rpm" files?
4) How do you combine two or more modules and make a single one (ex. Firefox+flashplayer plugin+mplayer plugin)?
ontherocks62,
When I have a chance I will add articles explaining how to do those tasks.
If you have any ideas what articles need to be made feel free to create links to nonexistant pages, create sections on a topic, or create stub pages on subjects to show other topics that need explanation on the wiki.

As long as you don't cross a core slackware library, modules transfer from version to version. The greater slackware diversity, the more likely module will begin to fail. To be tied into slax, you have to understand it's relation to slackware (and to understand the differences in linux distributions, you have to build one from start to finish ... Linux from Scratch is entirely your choice.)

Sorry that I was too lazy to read the whole thread, but I was looking for an OpenOffice-module and found the inofficial module made by Pastrugno, which seems to work well but I still have to test it. After browsing his other modules I thought it might be nice to find a list of all inofficial modules of all users and ended up here.
I clicked some of the links in the first post and was surprised to be directed to a site that only contains dirty advertisement.
So 1st, can somebody please check and repair or remove the links in this thread?
And 2nd, is there a list of all inofficial modules without having to browse all user-collections? I found a wiki-link but this was broken too.
Thanks for the link, reknaw!
It's exactly what I was looking for. Maybe there should be a link to it on the official modules page (with a hint of course to use the modules "on your own risk")
I don't remember the wiki-link anymore, I would have posted it if I still knew it. Maybe it's exactly this one and the problem was just due to the recent problems with the wiki.
I would like to announce that I have created a module with g95.
G95 is a stable, production Fortran 95 compiler available for multiple cpu architectures and operating systems. Innovations and optimizations continue to be worked on. Parts of the F2003 standard have been implemented in g95.
By the way, this is my first module, so if you have any problems please let me know. To test that g95 is correctly activated, open a console and type: g95
If the response is : g95: no input files then everything is ok.

nvidia 71xx (71.86.07) slax 609 http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=1067
nvidia module may frose system if loaded on the fly
the main reason,nvidia driver by it self is modifying
existing opengl libraries from mesa (that is is existing softw. opengl on slax)
so best is ot load on startup or from text mode first
(and this for all other nvidia lzm from other autors)
there is one lzm which has script in init.d i think ?
it'still possible to reload this video driver on the fly, though difficult :D
other htan that no froses ,if initaly is OK

'Avira AntiVir for Linux v7' (Server/Workstation/Personal)
Full GUI for Slax (should be usable under DaviX, NimbleX,
PureOS and similar too) will be supported in presence of a

Included in the module there's a "Personal" license key so
that this ShareWare build will have its command line scanner

Differences between this one and the other (many) VirtualBox slax modules:
- Compiled from scratch
- Latest version available to date
- Totally GPL-ed
- Adhering to slax modules creation official guidelines, in particular coming with build script for easy maintenance
- Separated main and kernel-specific module packages, both with creation scripts; again for maintenance and design sake.
- MUCH smaller size
- Ease of use and lightness: you need to activate just 001, 002, the kernel-specific package and then the main package; no recompiling of vbox kernel module or reboots
Bicephale wrote:
One question which i don't mean as an offense:
Does "Totally GPL-ed" actually mean "Crippled"?
It means that I'm getting more and more committed in favoring free software alternatives, especially when they are top software, like in this case.
This is not uncorrelated from attaching polished build scripts to issued modules: basic modification freedom starts from clear and thorough build scripting, even more often than from source code availability itself.
By the way, I see some proprietary non-redistributable software included in some modules on this very repository; theoretically we could expect trouble.
Getting back to VirtualBox limitations for OSE version, you can read them here:
In the end, they've stripped away RDP, SATA, and host usb support.
To me, it's quite an acceptable tradeoff: it remains a top piece of software.
I myself sometimes use VB closed version to take advantage of host usb support: sadly I need to access windows-only usb peripherals (I bought them when I was still naive and not conscious), and this is a good method to avoiding them following MSwindows, resting in my trashbin since a long time ago.
In all other occasions, I'm happy with OSE (=GPL) version.
This was very quick! Thank you for sharing the latest VirtualBox 2.2.0 with us. It had just been released :)
Anyways, there is a little bug in your lzm! /etc/init.d should be a link to /etc/rc.d/init.d, else a lot of modules with InitV-Scripts will fail, since you override /etc/init.d!
Thank you and regards,

I've never been able to get these driver modules to work, and I've tried many of them. I have an 8800GTX and whenever I use one of these modules nothing really changes and I can't change to my native resolution (1920x1200) and performance is still poor. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
Edit: Also, when the module is activated it causes problems with Wine programs that use OpenGL or DirectX (I'm assuming). Some that used to run (however slow before) refuse to run at all with the module loaded.
thanks for your nVidia 180.51 module. Can you tell me why it is only starting with 1024x768 resolution, since 180.44 was fine using automatically my highest resolution 1920x1200? With nvidia- settings I can change the resolution, but how can I get the old behaviour?

Hi Syntux!
Try to remove the xorg auto config files 'gui.conf' in /etc/X11 in the lzm module, and modify the xorg.conf file, changing lines:
There is also a prepared .iso that contains the Slax 6.1.1 001-base and 002-xorg modules and these KDE4.2.3 modules at the download page for those who just want to try it out.
I have a integrated intel 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv graphics controller will Slax support a wide screen monitor out of the box or will I need an driver? If so where can I get it?
New module for Intel 536 winModems. I had an old spare Intel 536 ep modem that I stored away used back in the early 2000s with Red Hat 9.0 Shrike. Now, I have made it work with Slax. I hope users that are on dialup can make use of this modem module :)
The slaxbuild script creates the /etc/rc.d/rc.ModemName scripts to start|stop the modem(s) on the fly straight from the sources and with some customized scripts. Hope that Slax users with modems can use these modules and enjoy using Slax with dialup!!!

Thank you for your kind words :) I have a slight little problem with a customized pctel script, rc.pctel. It does not finish unloading the modules, when I stopped it to check if it was working.
I have to clean up some stuff, but I think I have then in the correct order.
root@slax:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.pctel stop
Shutting down pctel . . .FATAL: Module pctel is in use.
FATAL: Module pctel_hw is in use.
FATAL: Module linmodem is in use.
done
If I do the modprobe -r pctel_hw, pctel, linmodem manually, then it works. Strange thing, but the module works the modem responds etc.
ALSO:
If the modules are placed in slax/modules/ folder, the modem(s) might not respond users may need to do startup modems like old way before,, ie.,
# /etc/rc.d/rc.name-of-module start where name-of-module can be slmodemd,martian,intel536, or pctel
from each module. Also great work with you hcf/hsf modules :)
NOTE:
fixed the rc.pctel start & stop procedues and cleaned up some stuff that was not getting done. KPPP could not access the modem not even with hack:
The first one is wmaker with usual apps and a lot of themes, gorgeous themes! probably some library dont't be then do a fake symlink to the nearest library for example if it says that libtiff.so.4 its necesary but you have only libtiff.so.3.8 then do a symlink with mc from libtiff.so.3.8 to libtiff.so.4
