Re: Testing "execute-external-file" command on wsl linux

[Jacob Peck]

SLAT is processor-dependent, not motherboard-dependent.  It goes by different names between Intel (EPT) and AMD (RVI) processors.  If you’re running on a non-ancient system, it’s likely your processor supports SLAT these days.  You’d be hard-pressed to find a processor that does not support it.

I don't know what "pacman" this was, but the one I'm referring to is the system's program to install and manage system packages, playing the role of apt/apt-get, yum, zypper, etc. It's not something that would be pip-installable. Never mind. You're quite right. SLAT(Second-Level Address Translation) The Microsoft Docs say that SLAT is required for wsl, but clearly that's not correct: - My motherboard does not support SLAT. - I'm running Ubuntu and SageMath without any apparent problem. Running Leo After `pip install leo`, `pip list` says (in part): leo                           6.8.1 PyQt6                         6.7.1 PyQt6-QScintilla              2.14.1 PyQt6-Qt6                     6.7.3 PyQt6_sip                     13.8.0 PyQt6-WebEngine               6.7.0 PyQt6-WebEngine-Qt6           6.7.3 PyQt6-WebEngineSubwheel-Qt6   6.7.3 Alas, SLAT may really be necessary to run Qt6. Summary I'm having a ton of fun with wsl. For the first time ever I can switch back and forth between Windows 11 and Ubuntu. That's worth a lot, regardless of the problems. To repeat, SageMath "just works" on wsl. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
