How come the byobu version is v2.82 from 2010?
The latest released version is v5.133 from 17 Feb 2020.

What Brit said. I also don't go through and check the source for newer versions of most of these apps unless someone requests. I will check the official slackware repo on occasion. For byobu the slackbuild script doesn't work with the newer version of the source code and I don't have time right now to rewrite it.

In Nerd Tools the on/off buttons don't work for me. I click on them and nothing changes. I've tried in both Firefox and Edge. Any ideas?

Aware blocker, anti virus software. Something blocking Javascript.

Both still missing?

Added

And, in addition, I have several packages that did not install last time I "applied" and it hangs on a white screen when I try again:
 

I'm not sure. I would uninstall the plugin and delete the Nerdpack directory on the flash drive at config/plugins/NerdPack. Then reinstall. If it happens again let me know which apps you're installing. Maybe something with the name or version of the app is throwing things off.

Can't remove the plugin:

Could be something going on with your flash. But the only other way to completely remove it, would be to delete the directory on the flash and reboot. Could also just be some aware blocker or anti-virus.

No adware or antivirus. All was working perfectly a couple of days ago.

 

How can I tell if there's an issue with the flash? All other read/write behaviour is normal. I can install/uninstall dockers and apps fine. It's a brand new drive.

 

In any case, it seems this is the issue rather than the filename of fping package I'm trying to install.

I get this if I try to uninstall other plugins as a test: 

 

However rebooting seems to have fixed it so thanks for your help.

 

Unfortunately though when you added lolcat it seems to be missing some dependencies:

Is it possible to suggest a few other programs?

 

essential:

exa

 

nice to have:

 

lsd

oh-my-zsh + various plugins

colorls

neofetch

bashtop

That might be why I didn't add it before. You probably need ruby and a bunch of other packages

 

I am still having issues trying to install fping I'm afraid:

Processing Packages...

Downloading fping-2.4b2_to-x86_64-2_slonly.txz package...

fping-2.4b2_to-x86_64-2_slonly.txz package download sucessful!

Installing fping-2.4b2.to package...

Cleaning up packages...

All packages processed...

But then:

 

root@fs  🖿  ~ ▓▒░  fping                                                                                   ░▒▓ ✔  6.61  80%  17:03 🕔  
zsh: command not found: fping

A few posts back discuss the decision to remove it. Any python package that doesn't need compiling can be installed with pip and setuptools.

Hi, does nerdpack install packages before the go file is executed?  Meaning: if I place “pip3 install docker-compose” in my go file, docker-compose should install?

Yes. Or use user script plugin

Haven't had any more luck trying to get fping to work today.

@dmacias Please can you add exa? It's a rust program.

Fixed fping. Can't have any non numeric characters in the version. There's no pre compiled version of exa. A quick glance at it and it would require too much work for me to compile right now.

Thanks for sorting fping (although it still doesn't seem to be working for me).

 

e.g. fping −g 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.254
−g: Name or service not known

 

Is it possible for me to compile exa to use here?

Maybe. I'm not sure how to compile a rust app. You'd need to download the slackbuild first and all the source. You may just need rust and all its depends and you may need my DevPack plugin and install everything from there.

 

I don't do this on my main server. I use an unraid vm.

@dmacias hang on I just found a precompiled binary that works: https://github.com/ogham/exa/releases/download/v0.9.0/exa-linux-x86_64-0.9.0.zip

I've got it working with the gofile but I think some people might appreciate youtube-dl.

 

There doesn't seem to be any way to uninstall packages though. Unchecking and applying doesn't work and nor does unchecking with the uninstall option on.

Did you hit apply?

Did you also try rebooting?    I suspect that would cure the problem as the package would not be re-installed after the boot.

Good idea! It was marked as installed after rebooting so I checked off and applied ready to reboot again.

 

It then downloaded and installed it! I've check off and applied again and will see what happens next time!

In the worst case there is a Config file in the Nerdpack plugin’s folder on the flash drive that you could edit to say whether that particular package should be installed.

Perfect! Thanks

It would be better to figure out why you cannot uninstall on your end. It works fine on Firefox and Chrome on my laptop and my phone. Nothing has changed with the plugin or unraid that would affect this. Most likely anti-virus or aware blocker that blocks Javascript or cookies. Uninstall option uses cookies same as basic/advanced view throughout the gui. Uncheck of packages uses config file.
