Welcome to #slackware
This is a board for #slackware@irc.rizon.net
That is an IRC Channel hosted by Rizon. You can connect to it with an IRC Client, such as BitchX, HexChat, Pidgin, AdiIRC, WeeChat, Irssi, EPIC or mIRC (Windows).
The IRC Server is Rizon (irc.rizon.net) and the channel is #slackware (once connected, /join #slackware).
There are two sister channels for #slackware, named ##linux (created for all Gnu/Linux distributions) and ##python (created for Python Programmers).
More Rizon Server details here: https://wiki.rizon.net/index.php?title=Servers
P.S.: Many thanks to the 8kun.top administration for fully restoring this board! And not a single thread was lost! :)
Anti Deletion Thread
Hi there.
https://8kun.top/faq.html#help-my-board-has-been-deleted: "On 8kun, any board may be automatically deleted if it receives no new posts for four (4) weeks."
https://8kun.top/faq.html#i-lost-ownership-of-my-board-what-happened: "You may lose access to your board if you fail to log in for two weeks."
Since this board is very low on traffic, I've created this thread to create dummy posts, so my board isn't deleted.

Python Programs
Hi there.
I've decided to remove all my programs from this thread. It's meaningless to post and update my source code both here and on GitHub. Besides, formatting source code so it's readable in a post is somewhat troublesome and unnecessary work.
Therefore from now on I'll be referencing all my source code in GitHub instead.
Whenever I post a new program on GitHub, I'll advertise it here with a new post in this same thread.

Install SDK Platform Tools
Here I leave the instructions to install SDK Platform Tools. You'll have adb (android debug bridge) and fastboot available, so depending on the manufacturer you can unlock your bootloader, install recoveries (twrp for example) or flash custom/stock ROMs with these programs.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
1. Download SDK Platform Tools from the link above
2. $ unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
3. $ sudo mv platform-tools /usr/local/
4. $ sudo chown -R root:root /usr/local/platform-tools/
5. $ cd /usr/local/bin/
6. $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/platform-tools/adb
7. $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/platform-tools/fastboot
After those commands you'll have adb and fastboot available for all users. If you want to add more binaries, just make the proper symbolic links like above.

Android SSHD - SimpleSSHD
Ever needed to exchange files between your Android Mobile Device and your PC (for example)?
Then this thread is for you.
Install SimpleSSHD (available from Google's Play Store, F-Droid or from the developers page below). It's very easy to configure and use.
Once you're done, you'll be able to open a secure shell and exchange/sync files to and from your Android devices using ssh/scp/sftp/rsync.
One SimpleSSH is running correctly, just use your LAN/WiFi to transfer files. No more need to plugin cables all the time (less wear on the USB ports too).
Note: You can use ssh-copy-id but there's a catch. Make sure you move the file authorized_keys one directory up so it looks like the following.
From this (wrong): /data/user/0/org.galexander.sshd/files/.ssh/authorized_keys
To this (correct): /data/user/0/org.galexander.sshd/files/authorized_keys
Then you'll be able to connect without a password. It's then safe to delete the folder (/data/user/0/org.galexander.sshd/files/.ssh/). When you use ssh-copy-id the file authorized_keys is saved to a wrong directory. You then have to manually fix it as above.

$HOME/.vimrc
From http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/slackware/slackware-current/ChangeLog.txt :
Mon Jan 13 00:11:55 UTC 2020
a/elvis-2.2_0-i586-5.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't make /usr/bin/{ex,vi} symlinks.
a/nvi-1.81.6-i586-1.txz: Added.
This is an implementation of the classic ex/vi text editor written by Keith
Bostic. Due to this having UTF8 support which elvis lacks, we'll have it
take over the ex/vi symlinks if they aren't already pointing to a different
choice. Note that the removal of vi/ex symlinks from the elvis and vim
packages might cause your ex/vi symlinks to point to this after all the ex/vi
packages have been upgraded. You can set them to your preferences using
pkgtool -> Setup -> vi-ex.
As you can see, Elvis is being substituted by nvi.
I've done some editing with nvi to see how it goes, and from the little usage I've gotten from it, it's acceptable for simple day to day editing.
Now, if you're writing source code, beware that nvi doesn't have syntax highlighting. All you get are the colours of your terminal/console.
Since I'm learning the basics of Python programming and I make a lot of mistakes, syntax highlighting is very helpful.
Hence enter Vim. It comes standard with a Slackware 14.2 installation, and is the closest you can get to ex/vi along Elvis. Vim has syntax highlighting and is very configurable. Since Elvis seems to be walking out the door, I thought I might as well switch to Vim for coding, and perhaps use nvi for other stuff.
Below is my current $HOME/.vimrc file.
$ cat ~/.vimrc

Slackware Alternative Repositories
There are many alternative repositories for Slackware, and here I will post the ones that I currently know of.
https://slackbuilds.org/ (not a repository, but a collection of build scripts)
https://packages.slackonly.com/
https://slackware.nl/ - https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/ - http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/
Install Setup Scripts (after an install)
If you ever have the need to run the setup scripts after you're done installing, look in /var/log/setup/.
For example, by running setup.80.make-bootdisk you can make a USB Linux boot stick. Such a boot stick is helpful in some situations, like when you forget to run lilo after updating your linux kernel and the computer won't boot. Of course you can also use the installation media to fix the same issue.
There is important information inside setup.80.make-bootdisk, so make sure to read it. The script will erase the USB stick. You have been warned.
$ less /var/log/setup/setup.80.make-bootdisk
or my favourite
$ most /var/log/setup/setup.80.make-bootdisk
Run them using sudo or root. All of them have prompts, so no changes will be done right away.

$HOME/.elvisrc
Elvis is a vi/ex clone and is also Slackware's default vi text editor.
In this thread I won't get into Elvis's commands, but paste my $HOME/.elvisrc instead in the hopes that it's useful for those who use Elvis regularly like I do.
$HOME/.elvisrc is one of the locations where Elvis reads its user configuration file.
You can find the documentation for Elvis online on the internet, or by typing ":help" inside Elvis. This will open the on-line documentation in a new window though. To close the other window, use ctrl+w, w to switch to it, then ":q" to close it.
$ cat .elvisrc

set showmode
color normal brightwhite
color lnum yellow
color selection white
color comment lightgreen

If you wish to disable "set number" with a file open for example, type ":set nonumber".

Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net
It's possible to test your internet speed using only the command line instead of the web version of speedtest.net.
https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli
1. Download speedtest-cli (speedtest-cli works with Python 2.4-3.7):
$ curl -Lo speedtest-cli https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py
2. Move speedtest.py to /usr/local/bin/ and correct the permissions (I'm assuming that's where you want to install it):
$ sudo mv speedtest.py /usr/local/bin/speedtest && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/speedtest && sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/speedtest
3. Read the speedtest-cli help:
$ speedtest -h
If you need to know the specific servers that speedtest.net uses, go to: http://c.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php
And if you want the ip address of any server, use dig (or nslookup) like this: $ dig speed-server.speedtest.net

Blocking Spam Hosts
If you want to block spam hosts from bothering you, one solution is to use a Blocklist combined with /etc/hosts.
Searching around the internet you can find various free Blocklists, but one of the best is https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/.
1. Go to https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ with your web browser.
2. In "list ad server hostnames:" select "hosts – in hosts file format" and "view list as plain text:", then click on "go". Save the list (for example spamhosts.txt).
3. Then as root append spamhosts.txt to /etc/hosts:
# cat spamhosts.txt >> /etc/hosts
This command will add spamhosts.txt to the end of your current /etc/hosts, but if you're worried make a backup before you run the command above.
4. There is no need to restart your browser or computer after saving /etc/hosts.
The Blocklist will make requests for the spam hosts to go to localhost (127.0.0.1), which means your computer will translate the host to 127.0.0.1 (just like a DNS Server would). Since 127.0.0.1 is just localhost (your computer with no http server to pull content from), nothing will happen.
Just in case you want to know what my /etc/hosts looks like (I changed the local machine hosts of course), here's a snippet blow:
#
# hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...
#
# By the way, Arnt Gulbrandsen <agulbra@nvg.unit.no> says that 127.0.0.1
# should NEVER be named with the name of the machine. It causes problems
# for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. :^)
#
# For loopbacking.

.screenrc
This is the .screenrc I currently use for GNU Screen.
With it you can change windows by using the Function Keys on your keyboard (F1, F2 and so on).
To use it, just place the file in your $HOME and you're set. If you already have a $HOME/.screenrc, make a backup first just in case.
The screenshot differs from the .screenrc by the way.

BIND + VPN Killswitch Fix
If you've used my IPTables VPN Killswitch thread together with the Local Caching Name Server thread, you'll likely be unable to connect or reconnect to your VPN Provider Servers.
That's because IPTables will interfere with BIND (basically it won't be able to resolve your VPN's hosts), but there is a fix.
BETWEEN THIS RED TEXT, CONSIDER THIS WORK IN PROGRESS!
$ cat /etc/named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
So what you need to do is this. And by the way, at this point the VPN Killswitch should be active and OpenVPN inactive (disabled).
1. Stop BIND:
# cd /etc/rc.d/
# ./rc.bind stop (you can use status instead of stop if you want to verify the current state)
2. Uncomment (remove the /'s) from the line "// query-source address * port 53;" in /etc/named.conf, so it looks like this "query-source address * port 53;". You can also leave the original line and just paste an uncommented copy right below like I did (check this threads image).
# vi /etc/named.conf (or use your favourite text editor)
3. Start BIND:
# cd /etc/rc.d/
# ./rc.bind start
4. Start OpenVPN:
# /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn start /path/to/some/other/configfile.conf (read /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn for more instructions)
You should now be able to connect to your VPN Servers normally (your local BIND server should be able to resolve the host names).
BETWEEN THIS RED TEXT, CONSIDER THIS WORK IN PROGRESS!
When the VPN goes down, there are still issues with the method above. I'll try to explain the problem the best I can. My IPTables VPN Killswitch is very restrictive, so much so that I have to start BIND, OpenVPN, sleep 10 seconds (less than 10s might work but it needs testing) and only then start the IPTables VPN Killswitch. If I start the IPTables VPN Killswitch first, BIND won't work and so OpenVPN cannot find the VPN servers. Now I know you might argue that it's unsafe to not have the IPTables VPN Killswitch running first, but if BIND doesn't work then OpenVPN will fail to connect. Below is the current order of commands that I'm doing. Hopefully I won't have to change it anymore.
Start BIND, OpenVPN and the IPTables VPN Killswitch (in order): # sh /etc/rc.d/rc.bind start && sh /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn start /etc/openvpn/vpnconfig.conf && sleep 10s && sh /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
Flush the IPTables VPN Killswitch, flush all the routes (so when you run /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall it won't complain about NETLINK), stop OpenVPN and then stop BIND (in order): # iptables -F && iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT && iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT && iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT && ip route flush all && sh /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn stop && sh /etc/rc.d/rc.bind stop
Also the line "// query-source address * port 53;" should be left as it is (do not remove the //'s). Since /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall is run last, uncommenting is unnecessary and apparently named won't work if you do so.
I've used some of the DNS Leak Tests below, and no DNS leaks were detected.
Once this situation is stable, I'll do a cleanup of this thread.I apologize if you tried this and had issues, but then so did I.
If you want to test your local DNS Server, there are plenty of online DNS Leak Tests available. Below are some for you to try.
Verifying terminal colours
These are two perl scripts I use to verify if my terminal emulator program (XTerm) is displaying colours properly.
Save one (or both) to /usr/local/bin and "chmod 755" them. No need to leave the .pl at the end.

FILE SPACING:
# double space a file
sed G
# double space a file which already has blank lines in it. Output file
# should contain no more than one blank line between lines of text.
sed '/^$/d;G'
# triple space a file
sed 'G;G'
# undo double-spacing (assumes even-numbered lines are always blank)
sed 'n;d'
# insert a blank line above every line which matches "regex"
sed '/regex/{x;p;x;}'
# insert a blank line below every line which matches "regex"
sed '/regex/G'
# insert a blank line above and below every line which matches "regex"
sed '/regex/{x;p;x;G;}'
NUMBERING:
# number each line of a file (simple left alignment). Using a tab (see
# note on '\t' at end of file) instead of space will preserve margins.
sed = filename | sed 'N;s/\n/\t/'
# number each line of a file (number on left, right-aligned)
sed = filename | sed 'N; s/^/ /; s/ *\(.\{6,\}\)\n/\1 /'
# number each line of file, but only print numbers if line is not blank
sed '/./=' filename | sed '/./N; s/\n/ /'
# count lines (emulates "wc -l")
sed -n '$='
TEXT CONVERSION AND SUBSTITUTION:
# IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert DOS newlines (CR/LF) to Unix format.
sed 's/.$//' # assumes that all lines end with CR/LF
sed 's/^M$//' # in bash/tcsh, press Ctrl-V then Ctrl-M
sed 's/\x0D$//' # works on ssed, gsed 3.02.80 or higher
# IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT: convert Unix newlines (LF) to DOS format.
sed "s/$/`echo -e \\\r`/" # command line under ksh
sed 's/$'"/`echo \\\r`/" # command line under bash
sed "s/$/`echo \\\r`/" # command line under zsh
sed 's/$/\r/' # gsed 3.02.80 or higher
# IN DOS ENVIRONMENT: convert Unix newlines (LF) to DOS format.
sed "s/$//" # method 1
sed -n p # method 2
# IN DOS ENVIRONMENT: convert DOS newlines (CR/LF) to Unix format.
# Can only be done with UnxUtils sed, version 4.0.7 or higher. The
# UnxUtils version can be identified by the custom "--text" switch
# which appears when you use the "--help" switch. Otherwise, changing
# DOS newlines to Unix newlines cannot be done with sed in a DOS
# environment. Use "tr" instead.
sed "s/\r//" infile >outfile # UnxUtils sed v4.0.7 or higher
tr -d \r <infile >outfile # GNU tr version 1.22 or higher
# delete leading whitespace (spaces, tabs) from front of each line
# aligns all text flush left
sed 's/^[ \t]*//' # see note on '\t' at end of file
# delete trailing whitespace (spaces, tabs) from end of each line
sed 's/[ \t]*$//' # see note on '\t' at end of file
# delete BOTH leading and trailing whitespace from each line
sed 's/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//'
# insert 5 blank spaces at beginning of each line (make page offset)
sed 's/^/ /'
# align all text flush right on a 79-column width
sed -e :a -e 's/^.\{1,78\}$/ &/;ta' # set at 78 plus 1 space
# center all text in the middle of 79-column width. In method 1,
# spaces at the beginning of the line are significant, and trailing
# spaces are appended at the end of the line. In method 2, spaces at
# the beginning of the line are discarded in centering the line, and
# no trailing spaces appear at the end of lines.
sed -e :a -e 's/^.\{1,77\}$/ & /;ta' # method 1
sed -e :a -e 's/^.\{1,77\}$/ &/;ta' -e 's/\( *\)\1/\1/' # method 2

sed 's/foo/bar/4' # replaces only 4th instance in a line
sed 's/foo/bar/g' # replaces ALL instances in a line
sed 's/\(.*\)foo\(.*foo\)/\1bar\2/' # replace the next-to-last case

# if a line ends with a backslash, append the next line to it
sed -e :a -e '/\\$/N; s/\\\n//; ta'
# if a line begins with an equal sign, append it to the previous line
# and replace the "=" with a single space
sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n=/ /;ta' -e 'P;D'
# add commas to numeric strings, changing "1234567" to "1,234,567"

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS:
# remove nroff overstrikes (char, backspace) from man pages. The 'echo'
# command may need an -e switch if you use Unix System V or bash shell.
sed "s/.`echo \\\b`//g" # double quotes required for Unix environment
sed 's/.^H//g' # in bash/tcsh, press Ctrl-V and then Ctrl-H
sed 's/.\x08//g' # hex expression for sed 1.5, GNU sed, ssed
# get Usenet/e-mail message header
sed '/^$/q' # deletes everything after first blank line
# get Usenet/e-mail message body
sed '1,/^$/d' # deletes everything up to first blank line
# get Subject header, but remove initial "Subject: " portion
sed '/^Subject: */!d; s///;q'
# get return address header
sed '/^Reply-To:/q; /^From:/h; /./d;g;q'
# parse out the address proper. Pulls out the e-mail address by itself
# from the 1-line return address header (see preceding script)
sed 's/ *(.*)//; s/>.*//; s/.*[:<] *//'
# add a leading angle bracket and space to each line (quote a message)
sed 's/^/> /'
# delete leading angle bracket & space from each line (unquote a message)
sed 's/^> //'
# remove most HTML tags (accommodates multiple-line tags)
sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba'
# extract multi-part uuencoded binaries, removing extraneous header
# info, so that only the uuencoded portion remains. Files passed to
# sed must be passed in the proper order. Version 1 can be entered
# from the command line; version 2 can be made into an executable
# Unix shell script. (Modified from a script by Rahul Dhesi.)
sed '/^end/,/^begin/d' file1 file2 ... fileX | uudecode # vers. 1
sed '/^end/,/^begin/d' "$@" | uudecode # vers. 2
# sort paragraphs of file alphabetically. Paragraphs are separated by blank
# lines. GNU sed uses \v for vertical tab, or any unique char will do.
sed '/./{H;d;};x;s/\n/={NL}=/g' file | sort | sed '1s/={NL}=//;s/={NL}=/\n/g'
gsed '/./{H;d};x;y/\n/\v/' file | sort | sed '1s/\v//;y/\v/\n/'
# zip up each .TXT file individually, deleting the source file and
# setting the name of each .ZIP file to the basename of the .TXT file
# (under DOS: the "dir /b" switch returns bare filenames in all caps).
echo @echo off >zipup.bat
dir /b *.txt | sed "s/^\(.*\)\.TXT/pkzip -mo \1 \1.TXT/" >>zipup.bat
TYPICAL USE: Sed takes one or more editing commands and applies all of
them, in sequence, to each line of input. After all the commands have
been applied to the first input line, that line is output and a second
input line is taken for processing, and the cycle repeats. The
preceding examples assume that input comes from the standard input
device (i.e, the console, normally this will be piped input). One or
more filenames can be appended to the command line if the input does
not come from stdin. Output is sent to stdout (the screen). Thus:
cat filename | sed '10q' # uses piped input
sed '10q' filename # same effect, avoids a useless "cat"
sed '10q' filename > newfile # redirects output to disk
For additional syntax instructions, including the way to apply editing
commands from a disk file instead of the command line, consult "sed &
awk, 2nd Edition," by Dale Dougherty and Arnold Robbins (O'Reilly,
1997; http://www.ora.com), "UNIX Text Processing," by Dale Dougherty
and Tim O'Reilly (Hayden Books, 1987) or the tutorials by Mike Arst
distributed in U-SEDIT2.ZIP (many sites). To fully exploit the power
of sed, one must understand "regular expressions." For this, see
"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl (O'Reilly, 1997).
The manual ("man") pages on Unix systems may be helpful (try "man
sed", "man regexp", or the subsection on regular expressions in "man
ed"), but man pages are notoriously difficult. They are not written to
teach sed use or regexps to first-time users, but as a reference text
for those already acquainted with these tools.
QUOTING SYNTAX: The preceding examples use single quotes ('...')
instead of double quotes ("...") to enclose editing commands, since
sed is typically used on a Unix platform. Single quotes prevent the
Unix shell from intrepreting the dollar sign ($) and backquotes
(`...`), which are expanded by the shell if they are enclosed in
double quotes. Users of the "csh" shell and derivatives will also need
to quote the exclamation mark (!) with the backslash (i.e., \!) to
properly run the examples listed above, even within single quotes.
Versions of sed written for DOS invariably require double quotes
("...") instead of single quotes to enclose editing commands.
USE OF '\t' IN SED SCRIPTS: For clarity in documentation, we have used
the expression '\t' to indicate a tab character (0x09) in the scripts.
However, most versions of sed do not recognize the '\t' abbreviation,
so when typing these scripts from the command line, you should press
the TAB key instead. '\t' is supported as a regular expression
metacharacter in awk, perl, and HHsed, sedmod, and GNU sed v3.02.80.
VERSIONS OF SED: Versions of sed do differ, and some slight syntax
variation is to be expected. In particular, most do not support the
use of labels (:name) or branch instructions (b,t) within editing
commands, except at the end of those commands. We have used the syntax
which will be portable to most users of sed, even though the popular
GNU versions of sed allow a more succinct syntax. When the reader sees
a fairly long command such as this:
sed -e '/AAA/b' -e '/BBB/b' -e '/CCC/b' -e d
it is heartening to know that GNU sed will let you reduce it to:
sed '/AAA/b;/BBB/b;/CCC/b;d' # or even
sed '/AAA\|BBB\|CCC/b;d'
In addition, remember that while many versions of sed accept a command
like "/one/ s/RE1/RE2/", some do NOT allow "/one/! s/RE1/RE2/", which
contains space before the 's'. Omit the space when typing the command.
OPTIMIZING FOR SPEED: If execution speed needs to be increased (due to
large input files or slow processors or hard disks), substitution will
be executed more quickly if the "find" expression is specified before
giving the "s/.../.../" instruction. Thus:
sed 's/foo/bar/g' filename # standard replace command
sed '/foo/ s/foo/bar/g' filename # executes more quickly
sed '/foo/ s//bar/g' filename # shorthand sed syntax
On line selection or deletion in which you only need to output lines
from the first part of the file, a "quit" command (q) in the script
will drastically reduce processing time for large files. Thus:
sed -n '45,50p' filename # print line nos. 45-50 of a file
sed -n '51q;45,50p' filename # same, but executes much faster
If you have any additional scripts to contribute or if you find errors
in this document, please send e-mail to the compiler. Indicate the
version of sed you used, the operating system it was compiled for, and

Local Caching Name Server - BIND & DNS
If you're interested in running a Local DNS (Domain Name System) for your machine, the instructions are as follows. Please remember that this guide is only for local DNS requests. Other machines in the network (if you have any) will not be able to use it, unless some more work is done (I won't get into that).
1. Download an updated version of named.root and replace the current one (/var/named/caching-example/named.root). Even better, rename the original named.root to something like named.root.orig just in case:
$ curl 'ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root'
$ sudo cp /var/named/caching-example/named.root /var/named/caching-example/named.root.orig
$ sudo mv named.root /var/named/caching-example/named.root
2. Make BIND's daemon executable:
$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.bind
3. Start BIND:
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.bind start
4. Make sure /etc/resolv.conf is using the local IP Address of the machine running BIND. You should have a line like this "nameserver <local ip address>" commented out (remove the # at the beginning of the line if there is one). If you're using NetworkManager to configure DNS requests (which I think it can do), you'll need to configure it properly. Any other nameserver lines in /etc/resolv.conf must be commented out (put a # at the beginning of the line so it's not used).
Example of a working line in /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.0.1
5. Verify that it's working:
$ dig localhost
You should see the IP Address in "SERVER:"
or
$ nslookup localhost
You should see the IP Address in "Server:"
6. Once it's working, you may want to dump the server caches and zones to a file for inspection:
$ sudo rndc dumpdb -all
$ most /var/named/named_dump.db (instead of most you can use more/less/cat/etc; you might have opted not to install most)

Terminal Clock
Below is the bash script for the terminal clock that I use. To quit the clock, use Ctrl + c.
#!/bin/bash
# clock.sh
# the script is executed inside a while without conditions
while :
do
# time and date are formatted to show HH:MM:SS YYYY-MM-DD
cmd=`date +"%c"`
# cursor's current position is saved through an escape sequence
echo -n -e "\033[s"
# Uncomment the next two lines to clean up the whole first line, although it causes a lot of blinking
#tput cup 0 0 # positions on row 0 col 0 (left top corner)
#tput el # cleans from position to end of line
# to place the clock on the appropriate column, subtract the length of 'HH:MM:SS YYYY-MM-DD', which is 19,
# from the total number of columns
C=$((`tput cols` - 32))
tput cup 0 $C # positions cursor at row 0 col $C
# clock will be shown green inverted
# setaf 2 = green, smso = inverted
COLOR=`tput setaf 7; tput smso`
# back to normal screen colors
NORMAL=`tput sgr0`
# print the time-date output on the above position
echo -n $COLOR$cmd$NORMAL
# restore the cursor to whatever was its previous position
echo -n -e "\033[u"
# script is executed every second
sleep 1

VPN + Tor Browser
This thread will quickly explain how to use the Tor Browser after connecting to a VPN.
1. Read this thread first so you'll configure IPTables properly: https://8ch.net/slackware/res/10.html
2. $ cd $HOME/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/ (or wherever the Tor Browser is installed)
3. $ cp torrc torrc.orig (make a backup of torrc)
4. $ /sbin/ip -c a (check which ip address the VPN interface is using; the network interface should be tun0 in most cases, so check the ip address right after "inet" from the tun0 interface)
5. Add to the bottom of torrc "OutboundBindAddress 127.0.0.1" (without the quotes and replace 127.0.0.1 with the ip address obtained from step #4).
6. Run Tor Browser.
7. # ss -utapn | grep -i tor (yes, do this as root or use sudo; verify that "OutboundBindAddress" is listed, and that it is connected to the "Guard" by looking at the Tor Circuit List; go to https://check.torproject.org/ and click on the green padlock)
GnuPG Tips
In this thread, I'll be giving some tips on GnuPG. I will not be explaining the basic commands, but rather giving out a few useful commands that I use every now and then. As time goes by I'll be adding more tips.
1. Always create a strong password. Preferably use a passphrase as long as you can remember it. A long passphrase is very important. If anyone ever manages to access your private key, the longer the passphrase the safer it is. If you lose your passphrase, you'll lose access to your private key and everything that has been encrypted with it, so be careful.
Want a passphrase example? OK: "Th3 l1ttl3 r3d riding H00d @t3 Some w0lf m3@t". Mix lower and uppercase letters, numbers and symbols.
2. How to create a password wallet:
After you have successfully created your own private key with GnuPG, one of the things I use the most is a text file containing my various passwords, protected with GnuPG.
Encrypt: $ gpg -r compass -o password.gpg -e password.txt (-r means "id name"; -o means output file; -e means file to encrypt)
Decrypt: $ gpg -d password.gpg | grep -i google (this command will decrypt password.gpg to your screen; grep -i will filter the output so only the line containing "google" will be shown; this helps to filter what you want in case password.txt is big)
Once this is done, you can upload multiple copies of your password.gpg file to anywhere you want. It will be safe as long as you keep your private key and passphrase safe.
3. How to verify multiple .asc files in one go:
$ gpg –verify-files *.asc
4. And don't forget: https://www.gnupg.org/faq/gnupg-faq.html
Configuring sudo (/etc/sudoers)
To make it possible for you to use sudo, you need to add your username(s) to /etc/sudoers. As root, do:
# visudo
visudo is the recommended way to edit /etc/sudoers. You should not use anything else. If you're not familiar with vi, you might have issues editing /etc/sudoers. Check the internet for the basic visual and ex command modes.
Add below the line "root ALL=(ALL) ALL" something like this "username ALL=(ALL) ALL", so it looks likes this:
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
Now username can use sudo.
The next thing to do is to uncomment (remove the #) from the line '# Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"' so it looks like this:
Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
Then save and exit (:x).
That will allow username to use sudo without typing the full path for the commands.
I haven't edited anything else, but feel free to read and edit /etc/sudoers as you require.
LibreOffice 6 Manual Installation
For those interested in installing LibreOffice 6 RPM binary by hand, read on. An alternative is to use Alien's packages (https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/ - http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/) or compile LibreOffice itself, which should take some time.
I'm using LibreOffice_6.0.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz in this guide, but it should work with any recent version.
$ mv LibreOffice_6.0.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz /tmp
$ cd /tmp
$ tar zxf LibreOffice_6.0.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz
$ cd LibreOffice_6.0.2.1_Linux_x86-64_rpm/RPMS/
$ sudo rpm2tgz -c '*.rpm'
If sudo or rpm2tgz aren't found in your $PATH, just use the complete path to those commands.
$ rm *.rpm
The RPM's aren't needed anymore
$ /sbin/explodepkg *.tgz
$ cd opt/ && ls
$ mv libreoffice6.0 /opt
$ cd opt/ && ls
$ sudo chown -R root:root libreoffice6.0
Now you can symlink to soffice (I use /opt/libreoffice6.0/program/soffice).
XTerm tips + themes
In this thread I'm going to be sharing some XTerm (https://invisible-island.net/xterm/) tips and themes (that I have and online).
Tip #1: XTerm has fours menus. mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu and tekMenu. The most useful ones are the first three. For mainMenu, use Ctrl + Left Mouse button. For vtMenu, use Ctrl + Middle Mouse button. For fontMenu, use Ctrl + Right Mouse button.
Tip #2: XTerm is capable of displaying 256 colours. Download the "256colors2.pl" script from the following link and read the instructions. http://web.archive.org/web/20130125000058/http://frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/
Or read this thread (https://sys.8ch.net/mod.php?/slackware/res/34.html).
Tip #3: Through the file $HOME/.Xresources you are able to configure various X.org programs, including XTerm colours and fonts. Once you have edited $HOME/.Xresources to your liking, do "$ xrdb ~/.Xresources". The changes will take effect in the next XTerm that you open.
My current $HOME/.Xresources looks like this:
$ cat ~/.Xresources
xterm*termName: xterm
xterm*font: 6x13
xterm*faceName: 6x13
xterm*faceSize: 10
xterm*saveLines: 4096
xterm*cursorBlink: true
xterm*cursorOffTime: 300
xterm*cursorOnTime: 300
xterm*cursorUnderLine: true
xterm*dynamicColors: true
xterm*utf8: 0
xterm*fastScroll: true
xterm*Background: #000000
xterm*Foreground: #FFFFFF
xterm*metaSendsEscape: true
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 0
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb
Notice the many xterm* options. You can find those and more in XTerm's man page.
Tip #4: You can configure the look of XTerm by using themes. I'm currently not using any particular theme, but you can find some examples here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090130061234/http://phraktured.net/terminal-colors/
To try a XTerm theme (in this case /tmp/xterm_01), add a line like this to $HOME/.Xresources: "#include "/tmp/xterm_01", so my $HOME/.Xresources would look like this below.
$ cat .Xresources
#include "/tmp/xterm_01"
xterm*termName: xterm
xterm*font: 6x13
xterm*faceName: 6x13
xterm*faceSize: 10
xterm*saveLines: 4096
xterm*cursorBlink: true
xterm*cursorOffTime: 300
xterm*cursorOnTime: 300
xterm*cursorUnderLine: true
xterm*dynamicColors: true
xterm*utf8: 0
xterm*fastScroll: true
xterm*Background: #000000
xterm*Foreground: #FFFFFF
xterm*metaSendsEscape: true
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 0
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb
Then do "$ xrdb ~/.Xresources" and open a new XTerm. Make sure there are no duplicate lines in $HOME/.Xresources and the theme file that you're using.
Tip #5: I'm going to post all the themes that I have, so this will be a long post. When you create your theme file, ignore the "> 01 <" part.

Usage: Include this file from your main X resource file:
#include <path>/nancy.Xresources
This X resource file redefines not only the standard ANSI colors but also
some of the extended ones (52, 85-88, 231 as of this writing).
It will work with any xterm-compatible terminal. If you're using xterm,
depending on your setup, you might have to enable one or the other or both
of the following resources:
allowColorOps
dynamicColors
Either way, it'll be a good idea to enable both because it's definitely a
must when you're going to play with the utilities and libraries described
below.
urxvt doesn't support redefining of anything but ANSI colors, but I have
patched [0] her to allow for modification of the full 256 color table.
If you'd want to create your own colorschemes, or if you need to set colors
for the current terminal session only, thus not making the changes persistent,
take a look at colorcoke [1] and its wiki entry [2].
If you're a developer you'll find Term::ExtendedColor::Xresources [3]
useful.
You can query the terminal for the current color values, see [3] and
rgbterm [4].
For trying out colorschemes quickly, or for inclusion in other scripts, the
xcolor [5] utility might prove useful.
It's basically ttycolor [6] for X, requested by a user.
There's a bunch of example scripts using colorcoke in the scripts/ [7]
directory (matrix!).

Slackware creator in strife, claims store has not paid him.
The Slackware Store (https://store.slackware.com/) has apparently been misappropriating funds from Patrick Volkerding.

Fri Jul 27 21:01:22 UTC 2018
Hey folks, my first order of business here needs to be a huge thank you to everyone who has donated at https://paypal.me/volkerdi to help keep this project going. As most of you are already aware by now, the financial situation here at Slackware HQ has not been great for many years, including not getting any pay for the last two years and forcing me (and my family) to live very frugally while I continued to work on the project hoping I'd figure out a way to actually monetize it by the time that Slackware 15.0 is ready for release. I'm not trying to cast any blame regarding the situation. Really, I can only blame myself for not trying to build my own ship years ago when things began to not really work out. I'm still looking into sustainable funding options such as Patreon or Liberapay (or perhaps both), and I'm open to other ideas. I'm no longer in immediate danger of going broke, and I'm no longer entertaining the notion of joining my friends at the local potato chip factory in order to pay my bills. :) My family is grateful and humbled by the support we've received. Hope we'll be able to keep this project going for a long time. Also, I realize that the website lacks updates and needs attention and I will need to find some time to devote to that. I've never been much of a website designer, and the slackware.com site is basically left over from work done by former Walnut Creek / BSDi employees. I've never seen able to make much sense of the SQL backend. The interface to edit and post articles is clunky (and I'm not sure the PHP for that even works any more). When I've posted articles in recent years, I've done so by editing the main page already processed from PHP into HTML, which is pretty darn messy as I'm sure you can imagine. I tend to prioritize the distribution itself over other demands on my time - that's clearly a lot to do with how things ended up the way they did. So, I guess that's the report for now. Lots more work to do and not enough time to do it in… that part I don't see changing moving forward. :)
Thanks very much again. I'll do my best to keep you all posted.
- Pat
Added the article from LWN about this. As I get the links I'll keep updating.
Added Patrick Volkerding's message in the Current Changelog. I corrected some typing errors while I reformatted the text.
Added Slackware's Patreon link.
VirtualBox
If you ever want to use another Operating System without having to reboot into it, for example, you should try using a virtual machine.
In this thread, I'll be talking about VirtualBox. I installed four packages in total. Three from SlackOnly (pre-compiled) and one from SlackBuilds (I built it myself).
https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.2-x86_64/system/virtualbox/
https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.2-x86_64/system/virtualbox-addons/
https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.2-x86_64/system/virtualbox-extension-pack/
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/virtualbox-kernel/
Those four worked fine here on a full Slackware64 14.2 installation.
I'm not going to get into the details of how to use VirtualBox. The VirtualBox Manual (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/) should be a good reference if you're beginning to use VirtualBox.
youtube-dl + Twitch
Trying to send the output of youtube-dl + Twitch through mpv didn't work me. The cache keeps zeroing out, no matter the youtube-dl or mpv options that I used. In order to fix this, the best alternative that I found was to snatch the .m3u8 and use mpv from there. Below are the commands.
This works horribly (do not use it):
$ youtube-dl -f 720p -o - 'https://www.twitch.tv/monstercat' | mpv -
Now let's do it the right way. First let's check the quality options for any given stream:
$ youtube-dl -F 'https://www.twitch.tv/monstercat'
Then I chose 720p quality but added a "-g":
$ youtube-dl -f 720p -g 'https://www.twitch.tv/monstercat'
Then copy/paste the output using mpv:
This way you can stream from Twitch without cache issues.
If you have a better solution to this, let us know!
youtube-dl + mpv
As promised, here is how you can watch videos from YouTube or Twitch, by combining youtube-dl + mpv.
You should read the previous post on how to use youtube-dl.
YouTube:
$ youtube-dl -f 22 -o - 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fauJ0JQJNM0' | mpv - (if you want to choose the quality)
$ youtube-dl -o - 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fauJ0JQJNM0' | mpv - (if you want to use the best quality detected by youtube-dl)
Those commands will pass the output through mpv instead of saving the file.
More information here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3un9pj/streaming_twitch_through_youtubedl/
Easy, fast and no browser exploits to deal with.
youtube-dl
This thread is about youtube-dl. What is youtube-dl?
youtube-dl is a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites.
I used SlackOnly's youtube-dl package on a full Slackware 14.2 installation. No extra dependencies required.
https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.2-x86_64/network/youtube-dl/
It isn't a new version, but so far it has worked flawlessly on YouTube and Twitch.
The instructions for a straight installation are here: http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html
But the way I did it (updated) is like this:
1. $ curl -L 'https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl'
2. $ sudo mv youtube-dl /usr/local/bin/
3. $ sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
4. $ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
5. $ hash -r (this is necessary so that youtube-dl is located if you removed the youtube-dl slackonly package)
Examples for YouTube (How I do it):
$ youtube-dl -F 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fauJ0JQJNM0'
Choose the format that you want. The one on the bottom (22) is also the "(best)".
$ youtube-dl -f 22 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fauJ0JQJNM0'
The video will be downloaded to your current directory.
For more options: $ youtube-dl –help
In the next thread I'll explain how to combine youtube-dl with mpv, so you can watch videos from YouTube or Twitch without a browser. Much faster and less resource hungry!
Until then.
chcase
One of the scripts I've used a lot in the past is chcase. I still use it to this day, but with less frequency.
It is a perl script for renaming files. Slackware comes with "rename" if you want something else.
http://www.primaledge.ca/chcase.html

mpv: Video player based on MPlayer/mplayer2
Currently my favourite video player is mpv.
Overview: mpv is a media player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.
Links:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv
I prefer to compile mpv myself instead of using a SlackBuild or downloading a pre-compiled package.
Installation instructions (read Generic Instructions): https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build
It's important to notice that you don't need to run ./install (read Generic Instructions). Just copy the binary to /user/local/bin or any other place of your choice (preferably inside a executable path).
mpv creates the directory $HOME/.config/mpv
The watch_later directory according to the documentation "Contains temporary config files needed for resuming playback of files with the watch later feature." Use Shift+q/Q to quit a video with resume playback. Play the file normally again and you'll notice it'll resume from when you quit. Quite handy.
You can edit the files in $HOME/.config/mpv to your taste, but here goes my mpv.conf (I have no GUI for mpv):
$ cat .config/mpv/mpv.conf
# Write your default config options here!
#
# Profile:
#profile=pseudo-gui
#
# Gui:
#player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui
#
#terminal=yes
#input-terminal=yes
# Video:

#volstep=5
#softvol=no
#
# Playback:

#
# Subtitles:

#vf=sub=125:0
#sub-pos=90

#osd-blur=20
#osd-color=0.5/0.75

osd-msg3='${time-pos} / ${duration} (${percent-pos}%)${?cache: ${cache}%} x${speed} ${frame-drop-count} ${avsync}\n${filename}'
My input.conf is almost the default so I won't paste it here.
From the mpv IRC channel a long time ago I got the following command line to compile mpv after a first compilation: ./update –master && ./clean && ./build -j4
I put that inside a text file, made it executable (you can also use sh to execute it) and then I run it in the mpv-build directory whenever I want to update mpv. Before using it yourself, check the documentation. That command line is old and I haven't verified if it's still recommended (I do need to read the documentation too).
$ cat programs/mpv-build/j2run
./update –master && ./clean && ./build -j4
Have fun!
uMatrix
I use the Pale Moon Browser, and some time after updating to version 27.9.1 I got a warning about NoScript. I should have taken a screenshot, but now NoScript has been uninstalled. You can read more information here: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=17619&sid=c7f6d33ac4abb02a3344d2b17b5bfbb5
So keeping just uBlock Origin + hosts file (https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/) internet filtering wasn't enough for me. Javascript is a real pain, not as much as Adobe Flash (I know they're different), but I dislike both because of security issues.
I decided to look around and I found uMatrix (http://addons.palemoon.org/incompatible/ recommends version 1.1.4) from the same developer of uBlock Origin, and it is awesome.
Check this tutorial: https://www.electricmonk.nl/docs/umatrix_tutorial/umatrix_tutorial.html
uMatrix Wiki: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki
Various Links:
https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix/
https://www.ghacks.net/2017/11/28/a-umatrix-guide-for-firefox/
It might take some time to get used to it, but it's worth learning.
The gHacks guide above recommends disabling/removing any other content blocker (NoScript, uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus etc) to avoid issues with uMatrix.
I reinstalled uBlock Origin, because uMatrix does not have element picking. Luckily all my settings were restored.
Updating Slackware Packages on Stable
There are two commands that I use to update Slackware 14.2 packages on Stable.
First: $ sudo slackpkg update
Second: $ sudo slackpkg upgrade-all
The "update" will download the latest package lists from a Slackware mirror selected in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors.
The "upgrade-all" will prompt which packages will be updated, and the user can select/deselect at will.
This method will not install non existent packages, neither will it upgrade your installation to Current. Check slackpkg's man page for more information.
A few important things to notice:
1. To use sudo, you need to add your username to /etc/sudoers like this (you have to edit as root):
##
## User privilege specification
##
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
There is a thread about visudo, which is the proper way to edit /etc/sudoers in Slackware. Check it!
If you don't know your username, try: $ id
2. Read the files in /etc/slackpkg. They contain important information on how to configure slackpkg, selecting a mirror (you need only one) and blacklisting packages.
Kernel initrd upgrade procedure
I'll explain here how I upgrade my kernel, using the official upgrade packages for Slackware 14.2. I used to upgrade my monolithic kernel using the ones provided by kernel.org, but some things always broke in one way or another, so I've been using only the official Slackware kernel upgrades now.
Before I begin, a few important things to consider:
I'll be focusing on an initrd kernel here. If you want a monolithic one, don't make an initrd, create the symbolic links to the proper *huge* kernel in /boot, edit /etc/lilo.conf properly and don't forget to run lilo.
Do not upgrade your kernel if you're unable to reboot as soon as possible, unless you're running a monolithic (non initrd) kernel. The reason for this is that once you upgrade, the old kernel modules are gone and a initrd kernel (loaded in memory) might request them and they won't be found, because you upgraded to a newer version. That breaks things, so unless you're using a monolithic kernel, reboot the new kernel once the upgrade procedures are done.
It's recommended that you use an initrd instead of a monolithic kernel. You can read more here: https://www.distributednetworks.com/configure-key-linux-components/module2/modular-monolithic-kernels.php
Make sure you haven't blacklisted the kernel packages in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist. If you have, slackpkg will not upgrade the kernel packages at all.
# /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh –longhelp, because it has useful information.
Also read /usr/doc/mkinitrd-1.4.10/README.initrd
I'll be using lilo, not grub.
Let's begin:
1. Generating a initrd for your system:
In a (virtual) terminal, go to /usr/share/mkinitrd and as root: # mkinitrd_command_generator.sh
That command will show you a proper mkinitrd for your system, like mine: mkinitrd -c -k 4.4.118 -f ext4 -r /dev/sdb2 -m xhci-pci:ohci-pci:ehci-pci:xhci-hcd:uhci-hcd:ehci-hcd:hid:usbhid:i2c-hid:hid_generic:hid-cherry:hid-logitech:hid-logitech-dj:hid-logitech-hidpp:hid-lenovo:hid-microsoft:hid_multitouch:jbd2:mbcache:ext4 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz
In order to use it, just run as root: # mkinitrd -c -k 4.4.118 -f ext4 -r /dev/sdb2 -m xhci-pci:ohci-pci:ehci-pci:xhci-hcd:uhci-hcd:ehci-hcd:hid:usbhid:i2c-hid:hid_generic:hid-cherry:hid-logitech:hid-logitech-dj:hid-logitech-hidpp:hid-lenovo:hid-microsoft:hid_multitouch:jbd2:mbcache:ext4 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz
You don't have to copy/paste the entire thing though. Check "# mkinitrd_command_generator.sh –longhelp" that teaches how to execute the output.
By doing so, you'll have a fresh /boot/initrd.gz
2. Updating the symbolic links:
Go to /boot and delete the old symbolic links, and then generate the proper new ones.
# rm System.map config vmlinuz
# ln -s System.map-generic-4.4.118 System.map
# ln -s config-generic-4.4.118 config
# ln -s vmlinuz-generic-4.4.118 vmlinuz
3. Edit /etc/lilo.conf properly:
Go to /etc and edit lilo.conf so it points to the correct initrd and kernel. Mine looks like this:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/sdb2
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
So you can see /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd are both there.
Feel free to just add the above as an extra boot section so if something goes wrong, just reboot and select another one that works. If you forget to run lilo after all this you'll be unable to boot the initrd you just created.
Save /etc/lilo.conf and as root: # lilo -v
4. Reboot your system:
# shutdown -r now
Massive ChangeLog.txt update

VPN Killswitch using IPTables
As promised, here is the IPTables script that I use. Please note that this is only for IPv4.
It's designed to block internet connections while the VPN is disabled.
I've made some modifications of my own.
In /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 there is a section left for rc.firewall where you can enable it.
I hid the –dport on purpose.
There is also /usr/doc/openvpn-2.4.6/sample-config-files/firewall.sh, for those that have upgraded to OpenVPN 2.4.6 and want a sample IPTables that's specific for OpenVPN.
Source: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-create-a-vpn-killswitch-using-iptables-on-linux
$ cat /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
#!/bin/sh
# Base Rules
# Before you configure iptables to allow any traffic you need to switch its default to disallow all traffic. Add these three rules to drop all traffic (IPv4 and IPv6) by default.
/usr/sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP
/usr/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
/usr/sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
# Input
# It's most secure to only allow inbound traffic from established or related connections. Set that up next.
/usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
# Loopback and Ping
# Next, allow the loopback interface and ping.
# This assumes that your VPN connection is on tun0. Check that with ip a, if you're not sure.
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o -tun0 -p icmp -j ACCEPT
# LAN
# It doesn't make much sense to shut down or block your LAN traffic, especially on a home network, so allow that too.
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.100.0/24 -j ACCEPT
# Modem
# When the VPN is on, the following route is required so the modem can be reachable.
/usr/sbin/ip route add 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.0.1
# Tor
# This is needed so Tor can connect to the internet.
/usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
# DNS
# For this next part, you're going to need to know the IP address of your VPN's DNS server(s). If your VPN has access or you use resolv.conf, you'll probably find them in there.
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -d 8.8.8.8 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -d 8.8.4.4 -j ACCEPT
# Allow The VPN
# Of course, you need to allow the VPN itself. There are two parts to this. You need to allow both the service port and the interface.
# Again, check the port and interface that your VPN connection is using.
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport **** -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -o tun0 -j ACCEPT
If you want to list the rules (I find it easier to do both):
# iptables -L -n -v && iptables -S
If you want to flush and accept everything (same as disabling the firewall):
# iptables -F && iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT && iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT && iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
Notice that if you run the script above, flush everything and then run the script again, you'll get a warning message about NETLINK. That's because the line "/usr/sbin/ip route add 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.0.1" is running again on the already valid route. To avoid this message, you can comment out the infringing line (add a # to the beginning) so when you run the script the route line will be ignored (it's already active), or you could flush the route (instructions at https://ss64.com/bash/ip-route.html), which I consider unnecessary.
OpenVPN-2.4.6 issues
Slackware Current and Stable OpenVPN packages have been upgraded to version 2.4.6.
This has brought issues not because of OpenVPN itself, but /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn has changed and I had to adapt.
After the upgrade, I noticed that the OpenVPN process was closing somehow, and I would be "disconnected" from the internet. "Disconnected" because I have IPTables rules in place that only allow access to the internet through the VPN.
I triple checked the VPN .conf files and nothing worked. Next thing was to check if anything appeared in /var/log/, and indeed /var/log/syslog gave some clues:

So basically I had to do two things:
1. Make /etc/openvpn/credentials.txt root:nobody instead of root:root, because /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn (check it out) now runs as user:group nobody:nobody.
2. Add persist-tun and persist-key to my OpenVPN config files.
You'll notice above that credentials.txt has the "Permission denied" message, and then "group or others accessible". That's because I changed the user:group and syslog caught up on that.
It's a good a idea to keep the old rc.openvpn around if you upgrade OpenVPN, so you can check what changed between versions.
With OpenVPN 2.4.* you can now use cipher negotiation (GCM was added), so you have more options to choose from if your VPN provider supports them.
The warnings link-mtu, cipher and so on are nothing to worry about from what I researched.
The "Linux route" and "ip addr" messages are because OpenVPN is trying to create a route that already exists (from what I've read), so they would probably go away if I restarted my network.
I'll make a separate thread soon with my /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall configuration.
If you're in a hurry or want something else, check /usr/doc/openvpn-2.4.6/sample-config-files/ where you can find plenty of examples.
PulseAudio
So Patrick has decided to create extra/pure-alsa-system for those who have issues with PulseAudio, and prefer alsa instead.

How to copy paste between xterm
Here is how to copy/paste text to and from xterm.
First you need to enable "Select to Clipboard" in the VT Options menu. You can do so by holding Ctrl + Middle Mouse/Scroll button inside xterm. If you don't have the Middle Mouse/Scroll button but have it emulated by pressing both the Left + Right mouse buttons simultaneously, it should also work.
Once that is done, you can paste text you just copied (from Firefox for example) to xterm using Shift + Insert.
To paste text from xterm to Firefox, all you need to do is to select the text in xterm (use the Left Mouse button) and then paste (Ctrl + v) as you normally would in Firefox.
You can also use the Middle Mouse/Scroll button to paste text that you copied from xterm to itself. So you could copy text in xterm (select the text using the Left Mouse button) then paste using the Middle Mouse/Scroll button, or use Shift + Insert.
Don't forget to check the other xterm options, by holding Ctrl then using either the Left/Right/Middle Mouse buttons. There are quite a lot of options to the different menus.
PS1
My PS1.
To set it, do in a console/terminal:
1. Make a backup of your current PS1: echo $PS1
Save the text somewhere, or just open a new terminal emulator and do it there. It won't be saved.
2. export PS1='\[\e[m\n\e[1;30m\][$$:$PPID \j:\!\[\e[1;30m\]]\[\e[0;36m\] \[\e[1;30m\][\e[0;36m\]\@ \d\[\e[1;30m] \[\e[1;30m\][\[\e[1;34m\]\u@\H\[\e[1;30m\]:\[\e[0;37m\]${SSH_TTY} \[\e[0;32m\]+${SHLVL}\[\e[1;30m\]] \[\e[1;37m\]\w\[\e[0;37m\] \n($SHLVL:\!)\$ '
