Try version 16 on same system (intel) see if you have any better luck the intel driver is in there............fingers crossed.

I have fixed the crash reported by newtor (thanks dude) Also removed the blank row in package selection. Added support to read more than 9 partition on a drive, support for virtually unlimited number of partitions now I'm down to the user account importing issues. After this, I think we should be ready for public testing ... at least on the installer part |

I've downloaded and burned the A1.17 iso but still can't get the installer past the point after partioning. I've partioned the disk and when I hit next it just freezes. Dave |

Tested A1.9.17.2 iso
Intel i810 seems to be fixed. Installer screen comes up moments after
selecting resolution. Looks like we're good there, success.
Wed Jul 15 2009 while in Dev IRc, I ran installer from same iso. It updated
on it's own from svn. That's handy :) . I can confirm that there is a window
raising problem when importing users. Here's the details:
Select user name to import, and don't add anything into the
fields (it doesn't add anything on it's own excpet the username), click on
the import button, and the window will jump up the screen. Keep ckicking it
and it will jump up each clcik. If you fill in all required fields and click
import, it runs normal and succsessfuly imports that account.
Looks like the "jump up" might be related to the information balloons. I
saw one very quickly while doing the above, but it disapeared too fast as
window jumped up the screen.

You're right... there are balloons there, I'll check them out |

FWIW, I think a better approach to this is to not allow the user to click the button if incorrect data is found anyway. So with that in mind, I have changed the code so that the button is only enabled with everything is in line for the account to be created/imported. |

Hi Moe-inx, Downloaded SOHO Alpha 1.18 this morning and the installer still is not working with my hardware. But the 120 that you have me change in gambas2 works fine from the project we modified so I'm wondering if that code got inclueded in the new installer you up loaded? I'll send the code to you later if needed. I'm on the road today so won't be able to get back to it until some time tonight. Dave |

Hi again just downloaded the ISO for Alpha 1.18 and it's all working know Moe-lnx -- Thanks for the great work. one minor problems in kde 4 menu one gslapt does not execute. kdesu needs to be place in the command line just before the gslapt command. kc1di-qrp wrote: > Hi Moe-inx, > > Downloaded SOHO Alpha 1.18 this morning and the installer still is not > working with my hardware. > But the 120 that you have me change in gambas2 works fine from the > project we modified so I'm wondering if that code got inclueded in the > new installer you up loaded? > > I'll send the code to you later if needed.

The installer is work great now have used it a few times and everything I can see seems to install correctly. Few needs in KDE4 though 1. Gslapt menu entry does not functions , menu command needs to be changed so kedsu is placed before gslapt : kdesu /usr/bin/gslapt 2. vasmCC seems to be missing altogether, So the menu entry for that does not work vasm is present but must be lunched from the terminal to work. 3. Whole system seems to be slow , this may be a KDE4 problem or it may be because my test box only has 512mb of ram which isn't much for kde4 other than that think it's ready for public testing. Cheers, Dave |

I'd like to get a new ISO. I dont know if A1.9.18 has been re-built. I read the locales were fixes, but version number didnt increase? Anyway, I'd like to get a new ISO so we can test and make sure keyboard layouts work. Also need to start getting this thing translated. |

Found the java issue to be a java directory with the jre files in it, and a symlink named jre_version-number pointing to that java directory. This is a bit backwards. I downloded latest jre and installed the jre_version-number directory and made a java symlink pointing to it, solved the pogo games issues. |

Hello, Below are my install notes. Overall, I would say this is the best alpha tested so far - nearly flawless. User accounts were created successfully; I was able to login to KDE; many services that failed before are fixed. I still am able to reproduce several fatal errors, however it seems some have been removed (great job M0E!!). The Installer window jumping when clicking description fields still happens. Overall, to me, this seems like a very nearly ready public alpha.
