Hello,
Things are definitely getting better - not that they were bad before - but they're
even better now!! Here's my list of little notes:
During Install:
-Lilo installs correctly to bootsector with VL and WinXP (good job!!) (but problems, see below)
-OSX bootable partition is not detected
-osprober and fdisk-l identify the partition as 'unknown'
-parted-l identify the partition as 'hsf+'
-I manually added an 'other' option to lilo.conf and it works correctly
-ISO 'Search Again' problem persists
-try: next, next, back, search again, search again
-Cannot find ISO after that
-Partition selection shows ntfs drives as 'fuseblk' (maybe by design?)
After Install:
-Lilo cannot boot the WindowsXP boot entry
-just sits at lilo message saying 'booting WindowsXP' with a cursor below
-KDM starts/runs correctly with proprietary nvidia driver (good job!!)
-the backdrop for KDM leaves black sides on widescreen 1400x900
-Analog clock issue will persist for small resolution screens (1024x768 and below)
-the clock will be out of viewable range at these lower resolution screens
-KDE taskbar/panel could be configured as 'centered' and would look better at
resolutions higher than 1280. As it stands, the panel is left-aligned and anything
higher than 1280 wide leaves a gap on the right-hand side of the panel. I think a
"centered" config is more aesthetically pleasing (opinion of course).
-vburn-iso does not start and has no icon
-opera, wpa_gui, and browser have no icons
-I noticed that opera.desktop points to wrong location for icon (hicolor)
-Icons added to desktop from KDE menu show up different than existing icons.
-maybe they are configured in 'desktop view' because they appear over-top of
existing icons and have the fly-out options. Plus, they can't be drag/drop into
trash with this configuration.
Most of these points are pretty minor and don't actually affect functionality. The
only major item on my list is the fact that WinXP would not start from the lilo
menu option. During installation, I quickly glanced at the lilo entry and it
seemed correct but I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the winxp lilo entry
(I'll have to have another look to confirm).
It very well could be my boot setup. I'm trying to leave the sda mbr alone (sda is
my first bootable device), as well as create the ability to boot directly from
ISO, so I'm using various techniques to accomplish this. However, my feeling is
that once LILO actually boots, my system should effectively be ignorant to the
complex nature of my boot scenario (perhaps not??).
sda_mbr: windows bootloader (boot.ini) with following options:
-windowsxp (works)
-osx (chainloads to sdc) (works)
-grub4dos (boots grldr at sda1 root partition) (works)
grub4dos with following options:
-vector iso (located at sda1 root partition) (works)
-lilo on hda1 (works)
VectorLilo (hda1) options:
-windowsxp (does not work)
-vector-cli (untested, but likely works)
-vector (works)
-osx (works)
Cheers, newt

Hello, Couple of quick notes: -Problem with duplicate '-cli' entry still exists for LILO in 1.44txz r910. Attached is the lilo.conf that was generated by the installer. I still have never tried GRUB on this system. -KDM would still not start (blinked in and out a couple of times showing nvidia splash screen, and then left me at a black screen with console mouse daemon - nothing else). I changed TTYs and 'startx' and KDE started no problem so the proprietary driver seems to be working fine. -The vxconf/resolution bug with spewed text is gone - yay! Cheers, newt |

Hello, I tried again redownloaded the iso's updated my bootable pendrive all went well finding the install media this time. I did my normal custom install all the options showed made my selections clicked next says it formatted then error box that reads as follows: type mismatch wanted picture got image instead step9.?.0 then installer died. must be typo or something.............M0E fix as soon as you can as that wiped my grub bootloader and I'm working on a rescue disk now...........:( R Robert Lange vec...@ya... http://www.vectorlinux.com --- On Fri, 10/9/09, Newt <gen...@gm...> wrote: > From: Newt <gen...@gm...> > Subject: Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] SOHOV1.43 > To: "Vector Linux developer's list" <vec...@li...> > Received: Friday, October 9, 2009, 7:39 PM > Hello, > > May be totally unrelated but I just noticed that I got a > bad delta download the > other day for 1.43.

Hello, May be totally unrelated but I just noticed that I got a bad delta download the other day for 1.43. I just went to patch the ISO and got a magic number error. I checked filesizes of what's posted online with what I have downloaded and realized my delta is ~55mb rather than ~64. I've just snagged an updated delta and it's working. Cheers, newt |

It appears some code got lost somehow earlier this week, I had been having different problems here and there. I dont see much that would cause the install media to not register though. I have made small changes, can someone else please test this? you should have ISO's in some partition to make sure you test for the right thing. Also, ISO's must be A1.40 or newer, The older ones will no longer register as valid installation media because of the old style vinstall.conf. Works for me, and uel jus ran a test... worked for him too. I'd still like to see if anyone else has this problem. |

Ok guys, I squashed another bug that prevented installation of the stuff in the second CD/ISO. Installation of the 1.42 ISO's went flawlessly after that. Here are a couple of observations on the new installed system. --- KDE BUG? --- Selecting System Settings -> Regional causes the system to freeze. The regional settings do not come up, it just hangs. Maybe this is related to new kde packages? --- Enhancements to be made --- Add pm-utils to the packages to be installed. Update gambas2 and runtime packages (in uel's box in my home dir (remote)) Other than that, seems to be working fine so far |

Actually, uelsk8s ran into the same issue today. I think i got it fixed but it wouldnt hurt if you try it agan to make sure the peoblem is completely gone. The new iso's should work just as fine.

Hello All, I often times wonder about screen resolution sizes and why: 1) we don't have more resolution sizes to choose from, and 2) why they aren't in "order" using the the first resolution size. I think it would be a nice feature to have many more resolution sizes to choose from, especially some unusual sizes that are common on widescreen displays. If it's not possible to implement this for the installer then no worries, but I think it would worth while for post-install configuration. I always have to choose the lower 1400x900 resolution and then adjust after-the-fact to my 1680x1050. Taking a quick look at wikipedia for 'display resolution' and 'comparison of netbooks' I think a comprehensive listing of resolution sizes would be: 640×480 800×480 800×600 1024×576 1024×600 1024×768 1152×864 1280×768 1280×800 1280×960 1280×1024 1366×768 1440×900 1600×768 1600×1200 1680×1050 1920×1080 1920×1200 This list certainly isn't exhaustive but perhaps a good start. Obviously, I don't know what kind of effort is required to edit the vxconf(?) resolution selection stage but if it's not too hard then it might be a useful change. Cheers! newt -- Best regards, Newt mailto:gen...@gm... |

The windows label comes from whatever os-prober returns.. I'd like you to re-do this installation and send me the resulting lilo.conf (unaltered) the one that causes the failure if you can please. About the swap partitions being at the bottom of the list. This is the way I designed it. I just have a thing about keeping swap partitions mixed in with other FS's in the system. Same reason there is a visual difference between a regular partition and a swap partition. I think they should stand out from the rest. |

Hello, Notes from a test install on real hardware: >> System: Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz (820), 3gb ram, dell deimension 9150, nvidia >> gf7300le, Acer X213w 2.16/22" monitor, multiboot system (4 hard drives: 3 >> sata, 1 ide), installed to ide -Attached is an image showing the sequence of what I saw when the initial screen resolution option is made prior to the gambas2 installer. The resolution options came up (left image), then a sequence of text spewed out leaving a garbled looking mess (center image). Fortunately, it is only cosmetic and by pressing the down arrow the options appeared in order and functional, but still garbled looking (right image). As is shown, the "spewed text" is my Teac card reader which has four slots thus the four devices (sdd/e/f/g). On the bright side, it does not break functionality of the resolution selection. I have not tested this machine since 1.15 but this did not happen back then. -The partition sequence is much better however my swap (hda3) drops to the bottom of the list, separated by several sdX devices. Again, only cosmetic - functionality is fine. -Bootloader Config: My windows partition /dev/sda1 is included as a boot menu option but the 'Label' is left blank. This might actually be 'by design' but a novice user might not know what this all means, and lilo won't allow an empty label. -Bootloader Config: LILO would not install. There was a duplicate '-cli' entry appended to lilo.conf. After removing the duplicate entry I was able to install lilo no problems. Is the duplicate entry because of the extra (windows) boot entry? I did not test grub at all on this system. -At the end of installation I rebooted, finished configuration using the proprietary nvidia driver, and was headed into KDM when I got stuck in a graphical/video problem. I would see the nvidia splash screen and then the screen would blink in-and-out about three times, and then I would see the nvidia splash screen again and the cycle repeated endlessly. I was never able to actually see KDM. I ended up having to hard reboot. I may give my other test system (nvidia 5200) a shot and see if it behaves the same. I'll let you know how it goes. Almost forgot: I notice that CD2 is still TLZ. I would have to say that I think I'm noticing a significant boost in installation performance with TXZ packages (i.e. a shorter installation time). It would be interesting to see if CD2 was any quicker at installation if they were TXZ packages. I'm sure this is a lot of work but thought I'd mention it. Lastly, when a TXZ package is installing I don't see other supplementary process running in htop but when a TLZ package is installing I see the unlzma process running alongside the tar process (I'm not 100% on this). Cheers, newt |

I'll see if I can find any differences in the code for the last of the svn builds I was using. Viewing is a help, but not much - I use MC as my main archive handler, and F3 doesn't open the archive, just lets me see what files are in it. If I can't find any difference, I'll raise a bug on the MC bug tracker. paul. uel archuletta wrote: > there are no patches to this version. > I have been searching the code and it looks like everything the old > patch added is there. > you can use F3 to view tlz pkgs, if that helps. > > > > On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 12:01 PM, Paul Marwick <pa...@wa... > <mailto:pa...@wa...>> wrote: > > Hi John. > > There doesn't seem to be a patch of any sort.

there are no patches to this version. I have been searching the code and it looks like everything the old patch added is there. you can use F3 to view tlz pkgs, if that helps.

Hi John. There doesn't seem to be a patch of any sort. I'll have to dig out the source and have a look. I was expecting something like extfs.ini as used in earlier versions, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of it. Not sure how it now sets associations for different file types. Paul.

To add to the latest round of testing the latest iso, I installed it to a test box that has a recent Nvidia card. Two issues: 1) I can't log in as a regular user nor as root. 2) I wanted to install the proprietary Nvidia driver on the box, since I have a fairly modern Nvidia card. However, I got an error message that "make" was not found in the path. I chose a custom install, installing most of the stuff from both CDs, except for ATI-related stuff.

Paul, I think that the patch applied to make mc handle txz packages will need to be edited so that tlz archives are also recognized.

:( Spoke a little soon. While the new mc is handling txz packages fine, it doesn't recognise tlz as a tar archive. Does this on the alpha and also when installed to 6.0 Standard as well. I'm not sure what is missing that it doesn't see tlz archive correctly - the svn version I've been using does... paul. |

Hello, -vlconfig2 installed twice during installation -clock is 75% out of desktop area at 1024x768. I would recommend a left-positioned location (perhaps just above kde menu) because at 800x600 the clock is well out of the desktop region. It requires the user to zoom out of the desktop, move it into the desktop region, and then zoom back in. -KDM LOGIN logo still wobbles in. I'd like to see it come in smooth and stable. -regional settings are preserved - works perfect! -VasmCC still needs some updating - particularly filesystem options All in all, I'd say remove the doubly installed vlconfig2, fix the clock and fix the KDM login wobbly logo, and we're set for a public alpha. VasmCC can be dealt with between alphas and betas (along with the TUI installer I presume). Seriously, this one it nearly flawless in a virtual environment. I even like the default background - it matches the newer logo color palette very well.

I was using the burned cd's as the install source. I'll find out what I can and get back to you after work.

I've installed it in the alpha, and had no problems with it. I'm _really_ glad to say they seem to have fixed Fish. At least I was able to transfer files in both directions when logged into my NAS. I'll test it a bit more (probably install it in 6.0 Standard as well). On the alpha, a couple of other things. For reasons best known to the KDE developers, Konsole always starts as a login shell, so ~/.bashrc is not executed. It would be a good idea to source ~/.bashrc in ~/.bash_profile - that way things like aliases would be picked up. I also have a problem with ~/.bash_profile. It claims to set LANG using the keyboard selections made in the GUI installer. However, in my case, even though I selected a UK keyboard layout, LANG is being set as en_US. Not quite the desired result.... Another problem. For some reason, first user created in the alpha system is being given UID 1001 instead of the Slackware standard 1000. This is really annoying - I have multiple users (from multiple distros) sharing a home directory. All the other distros (including 6.0 Standard and 6.0 light) use 1000 as the first UID, so I'm able to share a number of things without problems. With the SOHO alpha, that sharing fails because of the changed UID. Can we please go back to starting user UIDs from 1000? So far, I've not hit any other problems with the new alpha - looking pretty good. paul. |

@ Ken Can you run this from the IDE and see if you spot any additional helpful information? Do you have burned cd's or ISO's or both as installed sources? |
