I have a problem or a suggestion for gslapt, where do I take it? Please subscribe to slapt-get-devel@software.jaos.org: http://software.jaos.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/slapt-get-devel 2. Why do I get permission denied on /var/slapt-get ? If gslapt doesn't start from the panel or you get a message like: /var/slapt-get: Permission denied Please update permissions on /var/slapt-get or run with appropriate privileges then you are trying to run gslapt as a non root user. At the moment, the install script for the slackware packages attempts to detect utilities such as gnomesu, gtksudo, gksu, or kdesu. You can modify the /usr/share/applications/gslapt.desktop file to call one of these utilities, if present, before the call to gslapt.
