   Update on thinkpad 600e:

   tazinst worked using a config file. Continues to fail using cli, -m illegal option

   once installed I ran tazx OK. Seems it requires network access, and wireless wasn't setup yet. tazx worked installing the driver but did not modify the xorg.conf.d scripts correctly, same as old cooking. After manually editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Devices.conf to reflect correct video driver and rebooting X worked. Reboot was required because startx didn't work and it was quicker than troubleshooting what was running that was in the way.

   once X worked I had trouble with tazpanel. First I struggled with the username/password issue. Once I resolved that I tried to recharge then update. Recharge seemed to work but update failed to download files and showed keycodes rather than characters (e.g. "%2" rather than "/")

   last post con't:

   tazpkg works fine, upgrades 11 packages fine. Still get tazpkg errors e.g. can't create upgradable-packages.list-processed, still doesn't seem to matter.

   After upgrade packages system asking me to choose the sound card on every boot. I am not sure it that happened before upgrading alsa. Still working on solution. Sound does work fine though, just like every distro the ac97 tries to load and fails, but the proper driver does load and works fine.

   Still need to test grfxpayload= in grub2. This thinkpad is booting using grub2, but I currently have it configured with the deprecated vga= format as has been required to date. I really hope this feature gets into this version.

   Wireless doesn't work. broadcom driver gives unrecognized phy error. Also tried 2 other usb radios, both fail. realtek driver crashes. zd1211rw driver loads but also fails to connect to network. The zw1211rw device is flaky but usually works, the other 2 always work. All 3 work in antiX installed in another partition. Also when wireless is set to yes wired network doesn't work. Interface eth0 becomes listed as a woreless interface and doesn't get configured. Another feature that is really important that slitaz does not have is support for multiple network cards. Even a wired and wireless interface both configured on the same machine causes problems.

   tazpkg recharge/upgrade again, 3 more packages. No longer asks to configure sound.

   Impressions so far:

   The good/great:
   Overall seems to feel slightly less responsive than previous cooking but is it just as fast as before. Like the new look, starting to look polished. Tazpanel seems like a good change. No udev errors!!

   The bad/ugly:
   Wish the password for the tazpanel app would update with the install script at least. support for multiple net interfaces, at least one wired one wireless, but there should be an easy way to have more than one of each. Reconfigure xorg requires network if the gui does not come up. Difficult to configure wireless without gui, so wired network usually required to fix xorg drivers before wireless can be configured, then wired network will no longer work, whether wireless configuration works or not. If wireless fails, must be disabled to reenable wired ethernet.

   how to install flash:

   su
   tazpkg get-install get-flash-plugin && get-flash-plugin

   http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:flash

   it seem tazpanel does not execute second get-flash-plugin

   also opera install does not work:
   mv: cam't rename 'opera-11.50.1027/fs/usr/share/opera/locale': no such file or directory

   Also, trying to run tazinst fails with -m illegal option when using: tazinst cli -i -t iso -m slitaz-cooking.iso -p /dev/hda5 -f ext4 There's a bug in tazinst usage, the option for Source media is -s, so the command should be:

   tazinst cli -i -t iso -s slitaz-cooking.iso -p /dev/hda5 -f ext4

   "any answer to my asus eeepc 901 start problem?

   yep, same on my eee . Either the screen is just black , either it has something messy where you can
   just see some horizontal movements of your mouse.

   I've always said that a basic xvesa flavor could be the the most compatible way for the first step , than
   a optional second step include a Xorg+Configuration-driver with an auto-uninstall of Xvesa

   For the problem, I can say that before I done a full Live Usb (which doen't work) I had done before just a replacement of the rootfs.gz with the new one : it leads to have a graphic session but with no modules working
   (no sound, no ethernet connection)

   Attempted install of wicd to resolve wifi issues. wicd installed but wicd-gtk would not accept any root password (correct one, "root", user password, empty). su to root and wicd-gtk fails with python errors.

   still no wifi.

   jtouso & moulefrite:

   When you boot to black screen usually it is a graphics problem. You may be able to boot the machine with screen=text on kernel command line. Or, can you get to a text console (ctr-alt-f1) from the blank screen? If you can, and you have a network connection, you can then run tazx to change the graphics driver.

    Ctrl+alt+f1 don´t have any answer.
    Reboot again with screen=text arrives to login but ...how can I connect to internet to run tazx?
    May I put any order on kernel command line at the boot ?

    no ,

    screen=text is a good thing , i had control . But impossible to download anything whether whith a tazpkg or a tazx Xorg configure. >

    Quit...
    root@slitaz:~# startx
    root..xsession: .:line 3: can't open'/root/.config.slitaz/applications.conf

    root@slitaz:~# slim

    A screen with "Failed to execute login command"

    .. But after doing sames command (tazx,startx,slim) randomly , i manage to login !

    then I quickly check this

    root@slitaz:~# lsmod -l
    Module Size Used by Not tainted
    root@slitaz:~# lsmod
    Module Size Used by Not tainted
    root@slitaz:~#

    @moulefrite What is this tazhw output ??? Last cooking unmodified ??? These modules are all preinstalled and should be loaded!!! At least it's the case on my machine with same modules. If you load a module manually or search for it:

    # modprobe -l | grep ath5k
    # modprobe -v ath5k

    "I've always said that a basic xvesa flavor could be the the most compatible way for the first step"

    Yes for sure but Xvesa is no longer in Xorg source and not maintained. I'm actually testing new ISO build with different setting and build option for Xorg as soone I get result I publish a new ISO for all people who get X drivers problem (too many that said, sorry for that).

    On the TinyX server side, we may be able to use Xfbdev, wich is a TinyX server using the Linux frambuffer and always mainatined. The only show stoper actually is the fact users must know the correct VGA and use vga= to enable Kernel framebuffer.

    @bb I guess Wicd dont work since they is a bug in Python package wich miss SSL support and I'm bit stuck on that one since Openssl is well installed when buiding the packages, we also can't use Hg to clone https repos :-(

    bof

    this time I didn't even succeed to login .. but I do # modprobe -l | grep ath5k and
    # modprobe -l | grep atl1e
    But cannot tazpgg or tazx reconfigure anyway

    Pansko, you should develop some tracker, auto-executed at boot with grub config= (with cooking version) which will make a hardware report and the different issues and recorded automatically in a file on hd and that one can send to you. I think that could be far more usefull than let noobies trying to interpret why their screen is black.

    Atchoum!

    @moulefrite:

    I don't understand. How could you execute commands without logging in? single user mode?
