    I am using the ISO salientos-v2019.02-x86_64.iso

    I am having some trouble getting the system installed. The first two attempts at partitioing the drive, Calamares failed to create a parttion table and then failed to create partitions. The third attempt got through the installation with manual partitioning, but I could not login with the password I created. Has anyone else described these types of issues? Just curious. Thanks.

      Hey Eznix,

      I'm looking into reverting back to Calamares 3.2.3 as 3.2.4 appears to be producing this partitioning error. I'll test it out and come back to you ok?

      Logging in is too cumbersome with the current theme. You have to click on your user logo, which then selects your user, then click again to enable the password entry field. This is being changed for a different theme that does not exhibit this odd behaviour.

      Thanks

      If you are willing, there is a new build available now. I would be interested if you are still having the issues you described.

    Trying to ad myself to the sudoers and having trouble. Adding your user to sudoers
    For sudo access you need to add your user to sudoers by editing '/etc/sudoers' as 'su'.

    So, in terminal type 'su' to gain root (password required): type 'EDITOR=nano visudo' (minus the quotes) and add your user directly below the root entry:

    root ALL=(ALL) ALL

    yourusername ALL=(ALL) ALL

    Save and exit.

    You now have sudo access. This is what I get, (xed:1732): dconf-WARNING **: 00:44:14.545: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed

    (xed:1732): dconf-WARNING **: 00:44:14.590: failed to commit changes to dconf: The connection is closed

    I will just reinstall and do this first thing!

      There are new builds available now if you would like to try again.

    I will get to it by the weekend. During the week it's a little tight for time. Thanks
