It's a little confusing if GTK 4.10 has actually been released or not, but even if there is no news announcement, tarballs have been made already. This one finally fixes the 20 year old icon view bug in the file picker.

accountsservice 23.13.9

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accou...-/tags/23.13.9

Since it fails to build:

Code:

And there is no option to disable 'test', so

So seems would be good to go with wireplumber instead of pipewire-media-session.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipew...6#note_1840768

Just as an update, I have rebuilt pipewire with wireplumber, in fact we do not even need to make it a separate package as it can be automatically downloaded as a subproject. I have now audio working well
thanks to the guys at pipewire. Seems that we need to have to force pipewire to use 16 bits internally.

Here is the slackbuild I used.

Yep, I've already tested it, but it seems to be better to stay with a separate package

Cool, I am all for a separate package, but for my testing to make it work here was just easier to
build it inside like slackware does with pipwire-media-session.

Would it be possible to include the files doc/html/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html, doc/hackguide.doc and doc/ncurses-intro.doc in the ncurses package? It would be cool to include all the html documentation, but I would be happy with just those files.

Perhaps there's already something in Slackware to convert
binary to decimal and decimal to binary.

However, As with the author, I too could not remember how to do it with existing 'tools'.

Therefore, might these be handy to include in Slackware 15.1 ?

bin2dec

Code:

100

Code:

$ echo "obase=2;100" | bc

Not bad, it works up to 63 bits and then fails at 64bits

echo "$((2#111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111))"

-1

Also fails when only the 64th bit is non-zero

echo "$((2#1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000))"

Looks like the 64th bit used for signed integer notation in 2's compliment, which would explain the negative value.

If you want more bits, 'bc' can do it. Just change the input base (ibase), instead of the output base (obase) in marav's example to do the "bin2dec" conversion.

Code:

$ echo "ibase=2;1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" | bc

Soooo.... please disregard my suggestion.

Perhaps just add these 2 little bash scripts to the distro ?

Rather than add to the distro, I suggest a local customisation.
In /etc/profile.d/local.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Local customisations

# Shell function to convert binary value to decimal
bin2dec() { [ -z $1 ] && echo "Error: no value supplied" || echo "ibase=2;$1" | bc; }
# Shell function to convert decimal value to binary
dec2bin() { [ -z $1 ] && echo "Error: no value supplied" || echo "obase=2;$1" | bc; }

In ~/.bashrc

Code:

# Local customised shell functions
. /etc/profile.d/local.sh
