December 3, 201213 yr Hi all, I received the following error trying to install Screen to preclear my drives: screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz installation: Verifying package screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz. gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file Installing package screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz: PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: WARNING: Package has not been created with 'makepkg' Package screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz installed.

I've read somewhere that using screen allows preclearing to complete even when telnet session was disconnected. Thanks heaps!
January 19, 201313 yr Since there was no reply and I could not find another way to install 'screen' under version 5, I'll add what I did to get it working for anyone searching these forums. /usr/bin/screen does not exist. cd /boot/config wget http://slackware.oregonstate.edu/slackware-12.2/slackware/ap/screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz wget http://slackware.oregonstate.edu/slackware-12.2/slackware/a/utempter-1.1.4-i486-1.tgz installpkg utempter-1.1.4-i486-1.tgz installpkg screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz screen It works! Now I can pre-clear a disk in comfort. P.S. If anyone knows of plugin plg for screen under v5, please share it here.
January 19, 201313 yr Tybio created a newznab_extras plugin that contains screen. It contains other additional programs, not "just" screen. Here is the link to his github: https://github.com/Tybio/mux/blob/master/newznab_extras.plg. Looks like this is the part where he installs screen: install_screen() { add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/ aaa_terminfo-5.7-noarch-1.txz add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.37/slackware/a/ utempter-1.1.5-i486-1.txz add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/ap/ screen-4.0.3-i486-1.txz } I have not used this plugin yet (may in the future, but I already have most of the programs installed separately), so not sure if there are options to choose which programs you want or if you have to take them all. Wanted to share the link since it might help you.
January 20, 201313 yr That does help. And the relevant parts are newznab_extras.plg start|install_mediainfo|install_htop|install_screen|install_searchd and the options will grab these packages... install_mediainfo() { add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/ glibc-solibs-2.11.1-i486-3.txz add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/d/ gcc-4.4.4-i486-1.txz add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/l/ zlib-1.2.3-i486-2.txz add_pkg http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.1/libraries/libzen/0.4.17/ libzen-0.4.17-i486-1sl.txz add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/ cxxlibs-6.0.13-i486-2.txz add_pkg http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.1/libraries/libmediainfo/0.7.39/ libmediainfo-0.7.39-i486-1sl.txz add_pkg http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.1/multimedia/mediainfo/0.7.39/ mediainfo-0.7.39-i486-1sl.txz } install_htop() { add_pkg http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.1/hardware/htop/0.8.3/ htop-0.8.3-i486-3sl.txz } install_screen() { add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/ aaa_terminfo-5.7-noarch-1.txz add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.37/slackware/a/ utempter-1.1.5-i486-1.txz add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/ap/ screen-4.0.3-i486-1.txz } install_tmux() { add_pkg http://mux.net/~tybio/plugins/ tmux-1.6.tgz ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.5.7 /lib/libtinfo.so.5 } install_searchd() { add_pkg http://slackware.org.uk/slacky/slackware-13.1/database/postgresql/8.4.4/ postgresql-8.4.4-i486-1sl.txz add_pkg http://mux.net/~tybio/plugins/ sphinxsearch_2.0.6_i386.tgz } install_bwmng() { add_pkg http://slackware.org.uk/slacky/slackware-13.0/utilities/bwm-ng/0.6/ bwm-ng-0.6-i486-3bj.txz }
January 20, 201313 yr I remember seeing someone post that the spaces in the links caused it to not work, but removing them worked. I thought it was fixed, but looks like they are still there. for example: add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/ glibc-solibs-2.11.1-i486-3.txz should be add_pkg http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-13.1/slackware/a/glibc-solibs-2.11.1-i486-3.txz Glad it helped.
February 17, 201313 yr Since there was no reply and I could not find another way to install 'screen' under version 5, I'll add what I did to get it working for anyone searching these forums. /usr/bin/screen does not exist. cd /boot/config wget http://slackware.oregonstate.edu/slackware-12.2/slackware/ap/screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz wget http://slackware.oregonstate.edu/slackware-12.2/slackware/a/utempter-1.1.4-i486-1.tgz installpkg utempter-1.1.4-i486-1.tgz installpkg screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz screen It works! Now I can pre-clear a disk in comfort. P.S. If anyone knows of plugin plg for screen under v5, please share it here. is there a way to make it come back after boot? unless i did something wrong, i have to i have to run the installpkg command everytime i reboot..
