USM Unified Slackware Package Manager

Here is a place for your projects which are not officially supported by the Porteus Team. For example: your own kernel patched with extra features; desktops not included in the standard ISO like Gnome; base modules that are different than the standard ISO, etc...

Sorry to revive that old thread. What would be the more recent one on usm and errors or bugs?

Maybe we should start one explaining a few common solution to usm errors:
1) the salix database error (is it fixed for porteus 4.0?)
2) One or more errors occurred while usm was running:

FATAL ERROR!
resolve_deps 369
Please wait 6 hours for the next database update. Could not find: LIBS.TXT

And other common errors encountered. Would we have enough material for that?

Most of the USM distributions have multiple mirrors. Just because one mirror is bad doesn't mean they all are. Have you tried other mirrors?

Are you talking about 1) the salix problem or 2) the One or more errors occurred while usm was running?

Personnaly, I have fixed 1) the salix database error by choosing another server and saved it in/porteus/rootcopy/etc/usm/mirrors-salix.txt. The rootcopy contains many of my fixes that will survive the porteus release candidate changes and even could be used for nemesis (autostart applications for example).

However, I was wondering if usm would run with minima snags. Or at least that we would have some kind of common problems and solution for usm.

I am trying to build qt4.8.7 for smplayer.

Would be solved by changing mirrors

Real funny, qt-4.8 from usm tried to pull so much dependencies. When I download it from pkgs.org and txz2xzm, it turns to be the only dependency needed for smplayer. :roll:

1) and hopefully it's fix fixes 2)

Yup, doing it manually or using one of bogomips's script will accomplish that.

My USM changes, /etc/usm/* & /var/usm/ will survive also as I have them saved in a module I make of my changes.
However, I was wondering if usm would run with minima snags. Or at least that we would have some kind of common problems and solution for usm.
There was a script that bogomips had that did fix a lot of the USM errors, unfortunately I don't recall it's name or location at this point. :(

francois, smplayer can be built with qt5 as well. Were you using kde5?

Good to know. No I was on xfce4. This means that smplayer alone could run on kde5.
Thanks.
