I think you should update to the patched kernel no difference except vunerability patch so there will be no problems.

IMO you should change the kernel while you can.
but it is a livecd so security shouldnt be primary concern there. you can
always tell them to update the kernel if they install it.

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Intel graphics problem

No difference.

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Intel graphics problem

[Robert L. <vec...@ya...>]

MOE..........try adding this to your device section of /etc/xorg.conf see if it makes a difference:


Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"
 

our intel driver might be to old for that but don't know till you try...:)

Excellent! I made that change and it worked on three different machines.
Which brought me to the point where I thought it was ready for public release.

But then we have the new kernel available. It is not exactly well tested and 
proven yet. I regard Live as a demo/toolbox/re-master base, not for a working 
system. I would prefer to keep it close to what the installed version would 
be like. And lastly, I hesitate to request another round of testing from you 
busy people. I suggest keeping it as it is.

That's my opinion. What's yours?

[Vectorlinux-devel] Intel graphics problem

[M0E L. <m0...@gm...>]

We have a problem in the works here guys.
I discovered this while trying to get some eye-candy out of KDE. I
noticed it would not enable some stuff like transparency, etc.

so I did glxinfo | grep render and it gave me this: Failed to
initialize TTM buffer manager.  Falling back to classic.

If you google that, you'll find a lot of hits suggesting it's due to
missing GEM support from the kernel.
http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_28#head-b957b19f6139b6bbbfabaf790bf643b1746985d6

I dont know what would be easier, downgrade to an older xorg|intel
driver or enabling support fo this in the kernel, which also requires
a newer kernel.

GEM support is still in development from what I see.
Just thought I'd throw this out there. I can see this being a problem
flooding the forums with "OMG I can't run compiz on this" threads.

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Alpha 1.11

[Paul M. <pa...@wa...>]

Hi Robert.

Commenting out the cdrom entry in /etc/fstab fixes the mount problem ( 
:) I usually do that with 6.0 Standard as well, but haven't seen it 
break HAL before).

The Open Office problem is 100% consistent here. Open writer, select 
Tools > Extension Manager. When the box comes up, select add. Instead of 
getting a file pick dialog, Open Office freezes. Looking through the 
process list, kdefilepicker is listed as a zombie. The only way out it 
to kill the ooo process.

I suspect I'm still running in KDE safe mode (have to check next time I 
start), so I still need to identify what caused the problem with KDE 
startup. I'm wondering if it may have been my attempt to enable visual 
effects (I still don't understand why they're being disabled - they 
normally work with Intel GPUs).

Another problem (which may simply be KDE stupidity) - I can only set 
performance or power save as profiles. I normally run ondemand for CPU 
throttling, but there doesn't seem to be any option to do so in SOHO.

I've also still got to check the help problems I was seeing in the 
earlier alpha.

paul.

Ok... I'll make the change

[Vectorlinux-devel] testing A.11.1

[kc1di <kc...@ro...>]

I could not duplicate Paul's problem with Open Office here either. the 
commenting out of the CD rom line in /etc/fstab worked here also for cd.

We need to remove kpackage from the menu or install smart as kpackage 
will not work without it.
will keep testing

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Alpha 1.11

Paul............

try commenting out the cdrom section of your fstab.........seems we are keeping hal from doing its job there. I can't recreate the openoffice problem neither can uel........anyone  else having openoffice issues with this install???
let us know ..............thanks

looks like all thats required for cdrom bug is to comment out the cdrom reference in fstab since it conflicts with hal.

I found an existing but different file /etc/X11/XF86Conf-4.in on the system  
that I use for Live. Replaced with your version. No change :-(

I do notice, if I try the "Alternative auto-probe", this error:
sed: -e expression #6, char 30: unknown option to `s'

I have no idea where to look, getting tempted to take that option out all 
together.

[Vectorlinux-devel] Alpha 1.11

[paul m. <pa...@wa...>]

Downloaded and installed. A few problems....

Install. Nothing major, though the installer is still sluggish compared to 
most others (such as Fedora 11). I've got the X res set to 1280x800 for the 
T61's widescreen display.

Doing a selective install, when the installer gets to the 'Additional 
included software;, the screen width is a bit excessive - I'm getting 'ye' 
at the end of the line, not 'yes'. Other than that minor problem, installer 
is fine.

Once the system is installed. Open office (I presume the same build I'm 
running under 6.0 standard) goes unresponsive if I attempt to use the 
extension manager. Looking at the process list, a number of items are 
listed as zombie when this happens. I have to kill open office to close it. 
Same version is working fine on 6.0 standard.

First user id is set to 1001? Seems strange....

Attempts to mount a CD fail every time. I get the notification, but when I 
select open in file manager, nothing happens. Clicking on the CD icon then 
gets me this error message:

'An error occured while accesing 'Zenwalk_Linuc_6.2_CD'. The system 
responds: mount can't find /dev/hda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab'. I've tried 
with both VL-hot and HAL (which would be my normal choice - same error both 
times.

I didn't install Lilo or Grub - have an existing Grub install on the 
machine, so the first time I rebooted, I did it from the Grub command line. 
I then added the necessary entries to my existing menu.lst. These include 
setting the framebuffer mode to the correct one for the 1280x800 
widescreen.

On reboot, the initial KDM screen came up fine, but when I logged in, I got 
a few flashes, followed by a blank gray screen with nothing other than a 
mouse pointer visible. Can't see anything wrong, but the only way I could 
get KDE to restart was to use the failsafe start option.

Screen effects don't work. They should do - they do under both OpenSUSE and 
Fedora, but are disabled under SOHO.

More later - I have to go do some real work :(

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] SOHO Alpha2 is ready

[KC1DI <kc1...@ro...>]

Good Morning All,
Been away on extended business. And just returned last night.  
Downloaded A1.11 this morning, install went well except it does not 
eject disc 1 when asking for disc 2
kde 4.3 seems to be working but haven't had a lot of time with it yet. 
Still needs smart packager in order for kpackage to work.

will test more later in the day. all in all great work.  hope we are 
going to do something else for the lilo splash screen though.. don't 
like the read standard lilo splash.

Dave

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] SOHO Alpha2 is ready

[Robert L. <vec...@ya...>]

People uel did not specify but this is the new kde 4.3 I would suggest you get it while it's still warm. Works good here........also has a new kernel with latest vunerabilty patch as posted a few days ago...........the gang was on it. Please give these new iso's a try we need more reports before we hit distrowatch with this.

Thanks for your help!

Finally got enough free time to try these. Installer worked pretty well, 
though there was some confusion when prompted for the second CD - I had 
to click OK, wait, manually eject the first disk, then insert the second 
disk and click OK a second time.

Can't say I'm all that fond of KDE 4 so far. Most things seem to be 
working, but I'm having trouble with the help - it complains about a 
missing index, prompts me to generate it, but complains about missing 
files. Search in the help then doesn't do anything.

I also had some problems with sound on my T61. Took several attempts to 
get it working - for some reason, the speaker is not selected in the 
mixer controls, and after it is selected, it is muted - a bit confusing 
getting it going.

:) I'll download the later isos and try them later if I get the chance.

[Vectorlinux-devel] Kernel vulnerability (2.4-2.6)

[Eugéne S. <ea...@gm...>]

Howdy folks,

A pretty serious bug has been discovered that affects both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels:
http://blog.cr0.org/2009/08/linux-null-pointer-dereference-due-to.html

Linus has already released this one-liner, which should patch the hole for now:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e694958388c50148389b0e9b9e9e8945cf0f1b98

The latest kernel 2.4 seems to already have the patch included.
Anyway, I checked the forum for this, but the security advisory
section doesn't mention it, so I thought I'd just give you vectelopers
a nudge ;)

Cheers.

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0 Light Live

[Roy S. <nig...@ci...>]

Hi again, guys.

Another Light Live CD is available for testing:
http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/veclinux-6.0/iso-test/VL6.0-Light-LIVE-B4.iso
md5: d39ee3862f256648f4d8318e89426860  VL6.0-Light-LIVE-B4.iso
Login password is "vector"

If there are no showstoppers in this one, it will go out as final.
Your feedback is much appreciated.

Roy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feedback/Changes/Comments:

>> there is a vl-hot package in /root
Removed

Fixed

>> alternative autoprobe did not work.
Autoprobe is a crapshoot. If one doesn't work, try the other. 
If none work, go manual.

>> System Profiler and Benchmark doesn't do anything when selected from 
>> the menu. 
package "libsoup" was missing. Fixed.

>> Adie starts with it's titlebar out of the desktop region.
Fixed

>> Console Mouse Daemon fails to start (using vesa, no bootsplash).
Console mouse daemon is set to only start in command line (init2)

>> Opera starts from an 'unclean' state.
That is on purpose, so I could apply custom theme and start page.
