Installing slackware-current with AlienBOBs plasma5
by Ramurd from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YW7N)
Hi there,
For some time I'm trying to setup my machine to Slackware-current (I can manage that), along with AlienBOBs ktown.
The way I went was this; install slackpkg+
in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors I set the active url to slackware64-current
/etc/slackpkg/blacklist is empty
/etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf is configured as follows:
Code:SLACKPKGPLUS=on
PKGS_PRIORITY=(current:.* multilib:.* restricted_current:.* restricted:.* alienbob_current:.* alienbob:.* ktown:.*)
REPOPLUS=(current slackpkgplus multilib ktown alienbob alienbob_current restricted)

Yet I am doing something wrong as I cannot start X; which I eventually managed to drill down to the loading of shared library libphonon4qt5experimental.so.4 (which indeed is not in the phonon package I currently have installed, and managed to find in another phonon package, which I cannot select in slackpkg:
Code:slackpkg search phonon

uninstalled(masked) slackware64 phonon-4.8.3-x86_64-3indeed, I need the phonon 4.11.1 as that one contains the missing library; however, it is masked... so I guess that is the real issue here... and I think I did something wrong with my slackpkgplus configuration...
Ideas?
