| + | To use these packages, it’s recommended you install slackpkg+ | ||
| - | Here you can add in anything todo with the Installation of GNOME to help other user' | + | I have included a generic slackpkgplus.conf file set to update from my GNOME repositories. |
| + | Here is the slackpkgplus.conf if you choose this to manage your GNOME DE. This file gets downloaded | ||
| + | If you plan on using slackpkg+ you will need to set the PKGS_PRIORITY=( **gnome** ) to gnome so that any packages in this repository do not get overwritten by Slackware' | ||
| - | Many thanks to Jay (jloc0) for the GNOME LiveSlack and my fellow GNOME teammates – Bob F. (0xBOBF), Frank (snuk), Maras and Rizitis who inspired Jay to work on the GNOME LiveSlack. | + | |

| - | * During the development phase of Gnome 44 GTK3 components have been removed in favor of GTK4 and libadwaita | + | |
| - | * Soup3 is being more used and Soup2 components are being removed as well | + | |
| - | * libdex has also been added as a new dep for Gnome Builder | + | |
| - | * Another new program has been added D-Spy (a D-Bus explorer for GNOME) | + | |
| - | * Gnome Photos is being phased out in favor of the replacement loupe which is in Incubation right now and is 44.alpha | + | |
| - | * Cheese is also being phased out in favor of snapshot which is still in the development stages | + | |
| - | * **Both of the new programs have been added to the 44.x repository and will be updated when current code is released.** | + | |

The avahi package needs it’s rc scripts started locally upon boot, but you’ll need to add them to your **/etc/rc.d/rc.local**: |
| - | {{: | + | #Start avahidaemon |
| - | == N4t3R' | + | if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon ]; then |

| + | and also in **/etc/rc.d/ | ||
| - | **Here are some of the interesting upgrades in Gnome 44:** | + | #Stop avahidaemon |
| - | * webkit2gtk6.0 version 2.39.7 | + | if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon ]; then |

| - | If you are installing Gnome 44.alpha manually @r-tz has created a package management tool to help you install, upgrade and uninstall Gnome from you computer. https:// | + | Ensure all four of those files are chmod +x as well so the daemon starts upon boot. |

| - | Gnome 44.alpha is not yet completed | + | In order for GNOME to run using X11 or Wayland, it must be loaded through gdm. You can boot to a console |
| - | **Here are some of the interesting upgrades in Gnome 44:** | + | The only other bit of work required is adding a status bar to GNOME. After your first login to the session, open the Extensions application and enable the appIndicator status bar. If you do this fast enough the first login, the HP Printer Agent should load and be visible in your title bar. If you manage |
| - | * webkit2gtk6.0 Taking internet security | + | |
| - | * GTK-4.9.2 bringing a full and complete GTK4 environment | + | |
| - | * The continuation of libsoup3 | + | |
| - | As always **slackpkg update ; slackpkg install gnome ; slackpkg upgrade-all** to keep upto date with all the changes. | + | |
| - | == N4t3R' | + | That should be enough to get you going with GNOME on Slackware. |
| - | //**Gnome 43.2 has been rebased | + | |
| - | **//All user's are urged to update to this release:// | + | == Setting default language/time zone == |
| - | If you use slackpkg+: | + | Slackware by default ships/ |
| - | ** | + | |
| - | //slackpkg update slackpkg install gnome slackpkg upgrade-all// | + | |
| - | Otherwise there is a handy script that my friend r-tz has shared | + | |
| - | https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rizitis/ | + | If you choose to install the liveslak system, you will have to set the locale properly for it to persist locally each boot. Edit ‘/etc/profile.d/lang.sh” to set your desired locale, or you can optionally add the flags to your user “.profile” within your home directory to have a system locale of one language and your user use another. |
| - | == Slackpkg and 3rd Party Repositories == | + | Setup “/etc/ntp.conf” so your network-enabled system reaches out to a ntp server to sync time accordingly. I’ve heard of some issues with GNOME showing time that is wrong, so verify Slackware and the gnome-control-center aren’t fighting each other for setting time. The easiest way is to let the network do it, but you may have reason to not use a network. Setting the date manually can be done with the “date” command on the cli, where you can specify your time zone, as well as use UTC time if you wish on your system. |

| - | Please check this link out for a better understanding of 3rd Party repositories. | + | |
| - | == Live Slack == | + | That should be enough to get one going with GNOME on Slackware. |
| - | Jay (@jloc0) has brought us with the best gift this Holiday Season a brand new LiveSlack: version 20221227 click on his website and check it out. | + | |

| - | == Rsync Server: == | + | == Updating an existing GNOME Installation: == |
| + | |||
| + | To update an existing system from @N4teR properly, please run these commands as root: | ||
| + | |||
| + | slackpkg update gpg | ||
| + | slackpkg update | ||
| + | slackpkg install gnome | ||
| + | slackpkg upgrade-all | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are updating GNOME LiveSlack from @jloc0 | ||
| + | To update an existing system properly, please run these commands as root: | ||
| + | |||
| + | slackpkg update gpg | ||
| + | slackpkg update | ||
| + | slackpkg install gcs | ||
| + | slackpkg upgrade-all | ||
