It appears the script is run as user lp, which cannot change the owner. Rather than remove the sticky bit, I used “sudo chown” to change the owner, of course that meant the following “chmod” failed, so I had to swap the two command. I also wanted to recor… text/html 2012-12-19T12:15:59+00:00 alien http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:talk:slackware:fixes&rev=1355919359&do=diff Discussion page for Slackware annoyances If you have anything that annoys you in Slackware, feel free to add that to this page.

X and su I run the commands from an X terminal, and at some point start the X based kernel configurator. I run my desktop as “myself” but I build my kernels as root. In order to let root use my X display, I do the following in my X terminal: get root rights; merge my own (alien's) Xauthority file with the one from the root user, and set the DISPLAY variable.

A multilib 64bit Linux system is capable of running 64bit as well as 32bit software. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard dictates the best way to achieve a clean separation between 64bit and 32bit software on a single system. With Slackware64 we chose to adopt this standard, so it has been prepared to look for 64bit libraries in /lib64 and /usr/lib64 directories.
