Hello everybody, I am done with the release candidate for the Linux Genealogy CD 4.0. It is based on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) and GRAMPS 3.0.1. The files are here: http://roitman.org/files/ The large one is the CD image, the small is the md5sum. Please feel free to grab the iso, test it, and report any problems. If you suspect that the iso got corrupted in transit, use "md5sum -c lgenealogy-4.0.RC-desktop-i386.iso.md5sum" to verify the integrity. This is my personal site, so I will remove the files after this testing is done. Thanks for any feedback, Alex P.S. I found VirtualBox to be of an immense use. You may want to use it for testing both the Live CD and the installation. |

Great work Alex! Now I really should plan that software talk at the local genealogy group. I'm without a pc at home at the moment (due to moving, it will take some time to get all installed again), so can't test.

A week ago I announced the availability of RC for LGCD 4.0. My web hosting service shows that the CD image has been downloaded quite a few times. I would really appreciate some reports on how the CD works. If you have tried the CD and had no problems, please feel free to chime in and state so. As of now, I don't have a single piece of feedback on the CD. If there's no negative feedback by the end of next week, I will probably release the same thing as an official 4.0.

As of now, I don't have > a single piece of feedback on the CD. I tried it out on a VirtualBox VM and it seemed to work very well. I ran the Narrative Web and Web Calendar plugins without any troubles (other than missing image files for the Example database). I also appreciate the 'start here' info. Perhaps this has always been included in the LiveCD, but I think this is great. Especially for the friends and family that want to know more about the software I am using for genealogical research. Generally they are not running Linux, so this LiveCD is an important tool. Thanks, Jason |

This is a GRAMPS problem, not your CD. The problem there is that the paths to the pictures are absolute, but when the database is imported it defaults to the users home directory as the base for the media files. I think we need to add a variable to the database and XML output which records the base of the media path. Otherwise we can't really ship media with the sample XML database - it will never be linked unless manually done by the user (not much use as a sample then). I ran into this snag a while ago but didn't get around to mentioning it. > > Alex > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.

We only need somebody changing the xml file in subversion to start using relative paths, and to set the media path in the preferences. After this, all will work with images.
