Hello, I am new to Mastodon, noc.social, and the Fediverse. I admit I was never a real user of that-which-is-in-the-news, but my interest was piqued when journalists were banned for talking about it. Thank you for allowing me in! I have many interests but to start with I'll list:
#slackware #slackwarearm #sarpi #opensource #shareware #xcfe #esxi #virtualhere #introduction

So my week-long problems of installing multiple #slackwarearm flavours and variants and versions onto a Pi 4 turned out to be....

the Pi being picky about a micro SD card.

Cobblers!

I've heard tell of this for ten years but never quite 100% believed it. And now finally I've experienced it first hand.

Oh well. Sorted now.

Chromium-based browsers on #slackwarearm -current are broken because the seccomp-bpf filters haven't been updated for the statx and futex_time64 syscalls.

How do you think I solved it?

a. Recompile Chromium-based libraries
b. Edit the glibc source to remove any reference to those syscalls, then compile and install it to /opt

Nothing *really* needed those syscalls, right?

(This is just for an application using QtWebEngine, for actual web browsing I use the Firefox build from Arch Linux ARM.)

Slackchat is back.
