Slackadelic.com

Yeah, we all know by now that the http://rafb.net paste site is going off-line. Seven years of dedication to a free pastebin for the world.

Well, after a few talks with some folks and after being pressed in to doing (hehe) this, I’ve switched http://pastebin.slackadelic.com to use the code from rafb.net.

Thanks go out to edman007 from ##slackware on freenode for his help in tracking down and fixing a few odd issues with the code. It even works with paste scripts! Right now the official script is Pastelling. The script was originally written by Steven Robson Pastelling, aka rafb.pl, was written by _pragma, but is being hosted on github by Michiel van Wessem.

I’ve had a few issues getting my mouse working properly with evdev in the latest updates to Slackware64-current. Today, it appears, that other users are experiencing some other issues outside of a mouse not mapping buttons properly. Most of those users report black screens when trying to restart or quit an X session.

If you are one of us having such issues and are stumped, try the below in your xorg.conf before you go googling around for 3 hours like I did


Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
EndSection


I hope this helps!
As always you can catch me in ##slackware on freenode if you have any questions/suggestions/comments.
