in these cases, you need to use root (except for usm, which isn't there anymore)
about slackpkg: it's not he most intuitive package manager and requires some setting up via /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf and /etc/slackpkg/mirrors for best usage
eg. uncommenting extra third party repos in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

Farid,

Code: Select all

su
toor

# pmod is a simple wrapper for slackpkg
pmod -u
pmod -s search-by-package-name
pmod -m package-name

# or
slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg install package-name

# or (get packages from the Slackware current branch)
getpkg package-name

it is there: /usr/sbin/slackpkg, you need to be root to be found because as normal user /usr/sbin is not in PATH variable

su
toor

some further clarification: there's also slpkg which is in 05-devel.xzm
which, as well as normal package management, has a SBo facility to automate the SlackBuild compilation process..
beware though, part of it's process includes downloading the entire slackbuilds script tree (which adds up to some mb s)

getpkg works. Is there something like synaptic?

Post#12 by **Farid** » 15 Jul 2022, 12:10

Blaze,
sudo slackpkg install nano

Looking for nano in package list. Please wait... DONE

No packages match the pattern for install. Try:

/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade

hi Farid when you use slackpkg first step is slackpkg update after this you can search for nano or the software you need inside the slackware repository.i have seen sudo pmod -m nano work too and make a porteus module in /tmp

Post#14 by **Blaze** » 15 Jul 2022, 20:05

Farid, open terminal and run these commands:

Code: Select all

su
toor
slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg install nano

there is gslapt , a gui for slapt-get slapt-get: slapt-get is an APT like system for Slackware package management.
needs one tweak: in /usr/share/applications/gslapt.desktop: change "gksu" to "psu" in the Exec line
clearly not equal to synaptic featurewise but the closest you'll see in the slackware world..
