I still can't make mpv work again...

I don't know if it is still broken for everyone or if I have broken it even more...

I dropped the old version of libtheora as suggested and messed around with the symlinks and I don't know how to get it back to "normal".

(I use multilib, alienbob and kde6 repos)

I currently have this mess in /lib64:

@volkerdi I'm sure you've heard about Mozilla's changes in their privacy policy for Firefox (it's old news, but still). The implications of it have prompted a few distros to remove Firefox from their repos/default installation.

What's the game plan for Slackware? Will it keep using Firefox by default, or will you be phasing it out of the package tree, or what?

Hit a snag on the #Slackware laptop here at work that has a small eMMC (~20 GB). After an update yesterday, it ran out of space. Thus, I've had to remove KDE Plasma and likely will stick with a window manager or use Xfce instead. Was thinking of installing MATE from Slackbuilds using sbotools, but our org is blocking github which is what sbotools uses. :flan_eyeroll:​

No stress @alien, take your time!
I very much appreciate the time you and @volkerdi invest on #Slackware. I have a local mirror with your binary and source codes, I will try to compile the restricted ffmpeg on a VM, I just didn't was thinking it was a "ffmpeg issue" in the first place. My bad!

PS: my English is a underway project!

When I first installed Linux at home (Slackware, 1993) for University Unix work/compatibility I had to buy an extra 4MB (yes, MEGA BYTES) of RAM to run it on my PC taking it to a massive 8MB of RAM, with a 150MB Hard Drive, and 3.5” floppy disks for backups. (My older system used 5 1/4” these new ones seemed slick by comparison)

That 4MB stick cost me over 100UKP in 1993.

These modern systems are absolutely immense, and cheap, by comparison.

Halp! #slackware

I am getting this error when running mpv or spectacle:

mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libtheoraenc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Yes, #slackware current includes #Landlock support in the testing group with #kernel 6.14.
However, you must enable it at boot. If you're using #GRUB, follow these steps:

1. Add the following line to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="lsm=landlock"

2. Regenerate the GRUB configuration:

geninitrd

3. Reboot your system and verify that Landlock is enabled:

sudo dmesg | grep landlock

Example output:

[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-generic root=UUID=... ro lsm=landlock
[ 0.068388] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-generic root=UUID=... ro lsm=landlock
[ 0.212270] LSM: initializing lsm=capability,landlock
[ 0.212270] landlock: Up and running.

Once enabled, you can use landrun on Slackware-current:

Icu4c appears to have been updated in #slackware today while I’ve been working. I’ll get rebuilds out in some hours for the effected #kde6 packages. Did KDE ever drop the next gear beta? That was supposed to be today as well. Ah well, we’ll get it all soon enough.
