There were users reported the after upgade slackel openbox and slackel mate, NetworkManager do not work and cannot connect to wifi.
I have never had such a problem.
I suggest for those users to do this.

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get --upgrade

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i wireless-regdb
Then they have to upgrade glibc, glibc-i18n

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i glibc glibc-i18n
Then they have to run networkmanager

Code: Select all

sudo service restart networkmanager 
Then maybe they will see a message about some package missing because new packages added and other removed on slackware current.
Installing the missing packages they will connect.
Always have a look on https://slackware.uk/slackel/x86_64/sla ... ngeLog.txt to see about packages Added or Removed. So can install the new packages and remove the packages that have been removed.

To upgrade kernel-firmware

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -i kernel-firmware
To upgrade kernel packages

Code: Select all

sudo install-upgrade-kernel-gtk
For installation to external ssd disk or USB stick run

Code: Select all

Then reboot the system.
