Slackware 15: Easy Slackbuild Management With Helper Applications 

As always your Slackware videos are thoughtful, concise, and easy to understand. I'm very grateful for your contributions to the Slackware community. Thank you, OTB!

You learn something new every day. All this time and I knew nothing of sqg. Great vid as always.

Thanks OTB. Still really enjoying Slackware 15. Your videos helped me add VLC and Libre Office. Great stuff.

Great job. Slackware is seriously under-appreciated - so-- configurable. Excellent vid!

Excellent. Thank you for demonstrating how to circumvent the major obstacle for noobs to Slackware which is of course unresolved dependencies. I was very impressed with Slackware when I installed it, but had concerns over the unresolved dependencies issue. You have now tempted me to give Slackware another go in the very near future. Thank you for your time, effort and support.

TL:DR Thank you a lot, my English is crap , sorry for mistakes. Oh you are slackware guy, awesome. I go separate ways with slackware after its v.9. Now I found a great slack strarting point, resource / knowledge base in a shape of long time slack user, You. Slackware documentation is somewhat ascetic, compare to debian one, or im so used to debian ways of doing and organize things, and debian know how that everything else looks wierd.

Big thx for all the Slackware videos, this distro indeed need some love from a community :)

Great video. Made me come back to Slackware after many years. I hope you’re doing ok, Steve. Thanks for the videos, especially the ones about Slackware.

Great video, I'll have to bookmark it for anyone who I can convince to use Slackware. One note, in the terminal, it's not called a GUI, but rather a CUI or a TUI.

You are quite the Slackware man OTB, it's great to see, wonderful work 🙏

Hello, thank you for you new video. I use sbopkg,slpkg and sbotools also. Sbopkg its more stable on some specific packages than the other 2 tools, I had fails for some "stupid" reasons some times....but sbopkg did the job.Also if Slackbuild script need edit I prefer sbopkg. Sbotools, I use them when I have slpkg running on the other terminal and some dependency of dependency... is missing I use sboinstall on the second terminal and then continue slpkg ... So from these 3 tools I most use slpkg , I have alien repo also and slack included , so I use slpkg -f to see if I have installed the package , if not slpk -F to find it on repos if its there, and then slpkg -s package to install it! BUT there is a small problem with slpkg. IF one dependency is blacklisted with TAG in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist assume [0-9]+_otb it ignore it and will "upgrade" it if on sbo or slack find different version... For me that was a BIG problem ,since I have a full gnome42 desktop running in my Slackware (without systemd) and lots of packages are upgraded by me with TAGS... so when we use tags on our system we MUST edit also /etc/slpkg/blacklist to use slpkg, but we have to write one by one packages name on its blacklist... That is something I hope developer should change in future... But yes its a smart and fast tool which I prefer... ps. I also use SUN the notifier app for updates on slackware from the same developer... so I dont care if security update mail list is in my mailbox or not, because after startx the pop-up message say "You have an update" and the you only have to slackpkg update && slackpkg upgrade-all if you want... ;)

Extremely well done. Thank you once again for another great video!

Thanks for the much needed video. As usual extemely helpful and to the point 🙂

Thanks for another informative video! Coincidentally i started using Slackware when you started making your first few videos about it (about a year ago?). You helped me learn many neat things about it like using grub instead of (e)lilo for instance, because i much more prefer grub. I use slackpkg+ and sbopkg but you've got me interested in slpkg, so i'll be checking that out when i'm back from my holiday. Thanks, and i'm looking forward to more Slackware content! 💪

Another great video OTB!!! Thanks for including sbopkg in your video It's thoroughly detailed and should be easy for new user to use it without having to read the manual page :)

Great video as always. I just might have to give Slackware a try again. It was one of the first distros I ever tried. It's been a long time though. Well great video.

I have no idea what Slackware is, but I like your Linux hat!

Very nice video. Thanks

great video, thanks

great videos thank you!!!

Nice vid OTB.

Please show us Obarun -arch based- Linux distribution. Help people involve in OUR (Obarun User Repository).

I recommend to learn how to configure mpv with a mpvconf and input>conf file, it gives a better user-experience than VLC. VLC for Windows is kind of ok (mpc-hc with madVR is the best) but on Linux mpv clearly is the better choice once you learn how to configure it.

Something you left out is it's like. We're also has monthly updates to the basic system, so you can keep the basic exist in bankvault Secure

I shied away from multilibs because I always had bad luck after - the NVIDIA proprietary drivers would complain about the gcc compiler after - and I could never properly update after - nor could I be sure that there would be any actual security updates itself for the multilib packages, unlike the security patches I get from slackware's mailing list.

RIP Steve

RIP, Steve

slackware is great and one of my favourite distribution i'm wondering way it's not that used in business

👍

sbopkg is failing to install docker on Slackware 15. I wish the hell Slackware would get current with modern tooling. Getting docker requires go-lang and that fails and building all this from source is enough to make me switch to ubuntu.

I love Slackware but why is Slackware without sbotools or sbo okg from an official install? No one using slackware is checking dependencies, especially in modern computing as there are too many deps to research and understand and check by hand and even a package manager will explain the dependencies. So why is Slackware without dep management? Are slack users really checking every package with its desired dependencies?

RIP . Bookmarked

Yeah I left slackware, I mean it's cool that it exists, but honestly it's just not the distro for me.
