I installed and reinstalled 3X.
Unable to open Tazpanel even following Cloons instruction on changing the password. I usually ends with permission denied.
Any help here as to what I should use as the username? Same as the password?
Can I load Tazpanel from terminal?

Did you tried it with root/root?

A: On the Tazpanel log in screen, root root, it keeps coming back empty asking for the user name and password.
B: On the terminal tazpanel start|root gives the following:
sh: root: not found
/usr/bin/tazpanle: line55: can't create /var/run/tazpanel.pid: permission denied.
Note that I did this latest installation with root as the root password.
I think I will wait for RC2 to try again. I cannot do much now.

@vtailor regarding the sound:
can you give the output of: aplay -l - I hope, it works on RC1 - did not test Its just possible
if the card is seen, than its a problem with amixer - type: amixer contents
and compare it to the distro where it works - more details here:

Hello! First post in the forum.
Tried cooking in 2 laptops. A dual core fujitsu amilo (nvidia 9300m gs recognized) and old fujitsu liteline (PIII 128 mb ram and lyn3d graphics).
Booted and installed in dual core already running Slitaz 3.0 with nvidia non-free, as i couldn't get fullscreen with smplayer or vlc with free driver.
I can't get nvidia driver working, only get black screen. Vesa driver works, but no fullscreen for media players. Also tried devel iso and couldn't boot in grapical mode, only text. Installing xorg-server (full) and nvidia free driver doesn't work, tried tazx and tazhw setup nvidia. Had to blacklist nouveau in order to boot in graphical mode.
Now the older laptop. Slitaz 3.0 installed and running, only 800x600 resolution with vesa. I think to remember Slitaz 2 worked in fullscreen wth xvesa, but it doesn't work with xorg. Well, if I boot slitaz justx only get a black screen.
Can boot slitaz base, but it won't connect to internet. I only can bring up ethernet connection and ping my router (Slitaz 3 works fine with an ethernet pcmcia card and pcmcia rt61 wifi card). It is the same router for both laptops, so I know it works.
Sorry for the bad news and thank you for your efforts!

I must be doing something wrong with Tazusb...
Both the live CD and the downloaded 'slitaz-4.0-RC1.iso' file have been tried as sources, both of them checked OK with MD5sum.
But both of them fail after :
Copying needed files from CDROM ... [OK]
Installing bootloader: syslinuxThe error messages:
cp: can't stat '/media/cdrom/boot/isolinux/isolinux.msg' : No such file or directory
sed: '/media/flash/boot/syslinux/syslinux.msg': No such file or directory
cp: can't stat '/media/cdrom/boot/isolinux/splash.lss': No such file or directiory
sed: '/media/flash/boot/syslinux/syslinux.msg': No such file or directory
======================================================
Do you want to exit Tazusb or reboot system (Exit/reboot) ?I checked; there is indeed no 'isolinux.msg' at that location on the CDROM.
Interestingly, the messages are the same regardless of whether the .iso image or the CDROM are selected as source.
Best regards, Ben
Hello everybody,
A new SliTaz is always pleasant news :-)
Yet, the new SliTaz 4RC1 simply doesn't boot on my PII 400Mhz 256MB Ram whereas I have been using SliTaz 3 for a while and even cooking booted fine. I have SliTaz 3 installed on that comp.
SliTaz 4RC1 stops midway on a screen that ends with a pid grid and the following lines:
Out of memory: Kill process 661 (getty) score 1 or sacrifice child
Killed process 661 (getty) total-vm:2304kb, anon-rss:60kb, file-rss:448kb
It is stuck there and I can only switch off. Did I miss the new requirements? I also tried to boot with Live core, to the same effect.
On an AthlonXP, Slitaz boots fine.
Cheers

It's an issue with RC1 - Try running core-basic kmap=us lang=en_US from the boot menu's command line interface. It should boot without issues.
I have the same issue on my PIII 950Mhz 256MB RAM PC. Maybe it's related to 256MB RAM or less.

Still working well on assorted Intel Celeron hardware from live CD boot, but no luck with getting a USB stick to boot (even after using dd rather than TazUSB) so cannot easily try the netbooks and nettops.
Will dig out the portable DVD drive we have somewhere and try that.
Well done the devs, and thanks again. Ben
Many thanks Trixar_za, for your useful tip: I also tried core-basic kmap=fr lang=en_US and SliTaz booted fine.
I'll have a look at the fr_FR in a while. The 2011 cooking was far from perfect in the FR locale.
As much as I really appreciate SliTaz and its clever use of Openbox and bits of LXDE (a far cry from the whole LXDE) I'd like to grumble a bit ;-) about this hurdle for old computers. SliTaz is certainly great on faster computers than a PII with 256MB RAM but we need SliTaz to work out of the box on old computers. 256MB as two 128MB sticks on the two slots is quite an improvement on the original single 64MB stick and we have trouble here finding compatible 256MB sticks.
We have a few old computers that we have refurbished as sensibly as possible. They refuse to break down, and it seems a pity to dump them to the recycling bin just because they're quite out of fashion and obsolete.
Of course, I'm well aware nobody wants computers that are are unable to display a streaming webM video but we should be able to watch the video after downloading it.
I have a question: while booting, SliTaz gets an ethernet lease alright and the connection box says it is connected but ifconfig shows errors and Midori displays a connection error page.
At the moment, I have a simple DSL modem and no router.
I can't even connect to the modem.
The connection works fine on another computer running on Trisquel 5 (Gnome) and I can connect to the modem. I thought the modem was flaky, which may be possible but at the moment it's working fine with Triquel.
What can I do?

Check out the bootloader PloP. With it one should be able to boot from USB even on an old computer that normally does not admit that.
It is a kind of primary bootloader that boots first and then lets you decide from where you want to boot: some harddrive (should contain grub) or some USB (grub must be there).

@michaelbischof - thank you for the suggestion.
Plop looks like a useful tool - for those interested in it there is a mode summary here:- http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/startmodes.html
Not sure if that will help our present situation. With a TazUSB-created USB stick we are still seeing the initial boot startup messages (like the Live CD), then those error messages detailed above.
The BIOS is finding the USB stick OK, the boot process is starting, then we get the error messages that are reporting missing items. Either the items are needed (and missing) or the TazUSB config script is asking for something that may not be appropriate to this rev. Beyond my present understanding, either way!
I've tried Unetbootin as well as using dd to create the USB stick, both with no success so far.
The good news is that we have found our USB CD drive and can carry on testing SliTaz with that.
