This is a bug from upstream.  There will be an update to the terminal package soon, and will be fixed in the next ISO.  Thanks for reporting.

Regarding the claws-mail hang issue, I try to update libetpan, gtk+2 or even rebuild with compface still no result at all...so for the last thing to do I make a bug report to claws-mail's bugtracker...I hope the developers can give me some idea on how to solve it

I can confirm the issue with claws mail, clicking configuration/preferances for current account and apply causes freeze.
 appears to open a second instance of something.

 however if you click configuration/edit accounts/edit, it opens the same configuration dialog and you can edit and apply and click ok and close the edit dialog box and close app.

Was able to get my Epson printer to print by deleting cups-1.6.3 and installing cups-1.4.6.   

However system-config-printer does not open:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo system-config-printer

B1 64-Bit on Ivy Bridge with Nvidia GT 240:

Login screen: poking around with the mouse causes it to go unresponsive after a few clicks. Mouse cursor keeps moving and I can switch to another virtual console and recover by going to init 2, then back to init 4.

Desktop launchers: The ones for Internet sites need to be set executable.
"Vector-Docs" takes you to VL home page, the title is a little misleading.
"Vector-Tutorials" goes to opensourcebistro which seems to be limping along after an "injection attack". Any idea if it will stay that way?

On this machine only, I am still experiencing that my pointing devices go to sleep after about a second of inactivity. This applies to 32-bit as well.

/etc/slackware-version shows 13.37. We're past that, right?

This is not happening to me on Slackware 14.1 32 bit, with xfce4-terminal 0.6.2. Maybe we should look at their build setup for this as they may be applying a patch...


EDIT: Just checked and nope, no patches...

Lyx 2.0.6 crashes a lot.  Loads and looks normal, but on indexing, lyx says "you've found a bug in lyx."

No sound on built-in speakers (Lenovo N 586).  Did not try usb headset.

Just installed B1.1 64 bit  via unetbootin usb disk, install went very smoothly....
booted into xfce4  desktop nicely...

STILL missing vliloconf command, log in as root, no vliloconf  command available....now still can't make another boOtloader for grub2 yet.....always have to edit at grub.CFG  MANUALLY

kernel 's very old, still not adopting to 3.12.6  yet(perhaps in order to cater those corny old wifi card,a those corny users in rich  jobless north america cntinent users,such as  broadcom).

Same hear (Happy New Year!). 

During 2014, let's keep in mind the Pope's warning that unfettered capitalism is another form of tyranny.  Private monopolies (Skype, etc) are the cancer of capitalism.  If so, we can begin to heal jobless North America and jobless world.
