Just installed. Install was fine. The installer came up much faster than it has in most of the other alphas. Also nice to see Seamonkey 2.0 installed. Other problems from 2.1 are not fixed. Console font is still not following selection made during install. VasmCC is cleaner, but still suffering from some video problems. The biggie for me is first user - this is still being set to UID 1002. I don't know whether this is an installer or base system problem, but it really needs to be fixed. For me, it makes SOHO effectively unusable. I still have to fiddle with the mixer to get sound working - use configure, go to the bottom of the list, tick the speaker box, then unmute it. paul. |

paul, do you have any directories in /home? I remember talking about reserving UID's for home folders that were found owned by UID's not in passwd, so if you imported a user they could keep that dir and UID. I am not sure if that is what is going on or not. is there a reason you are not importing old user? Uel On 10/30/09, Paul Marwick <pa...@wa...> wrote: > > Just installed. > > Install was fine.

I wondered about something like that, but didn't think the number being used made much sense if that was the case... I use a separate home partition. Since all the distributions I'm currently using start UIDs from 1000, I can then use a common area for documents, downloads, etc. Having SOHO assign 1002 breaks its ability to use the shared resources, which is a real pain.... > is there a reason you are not importing old user? At the moment, mainly because I didn't want to carry over any problems from earlier alphas, and since the user accounts haven't been used much, it has been easier to simply use a new user account. Is there any way of forcing the correct UID? That would solve the problem for me, and I'm not sure how many others would find it as much of a stopper as I do. Though I do know a few people who do set things up in a similar manner. Regards, Paul. |

I think moe is working on fixing the GUI installer to start at 1000. there are 2 ways currently change the UID of the first user to 1000: 1) create the user from vasm on first boot 2) on first boot, edit /etc/passwd, /etc/group and change the UID to 1000, then chown -R 1000 /home/usrname, and chgrp -R 1000 /home/username Uel On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 2:28 PM, Paul Marwick <pa...@wa...> wrote: > uel archuletta wrote: > > paul, > > do you have any directories in /home? > > :) I sure do.

I will fix the installer to start the user count @ 1000, however, the installer has to validate these uid's before creating the user account. In the case of a shared /home with other distros, this will prevent problems. |

The installer has been completely rewritten. I don't think most users will have this type of problem. Every time I have tried this, has created all kinds of problems for me.
