   Hi all,

   So finally here it is! SliTaz 4.0 is on the mirrors, the rush is finished! Note, there are still flavors uploading, including an Xorg Light flavor. Please feel free to report Errata on the dedicated Wiki page and any solutions: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:releases:4.0:errata

   Announce: http://www.slitaz.org/en/#news
   Relnotes: http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/releases/4.0/relnotes.en.html

   The packages repository is setup and will receive bug and security fixes until 5.0. It's the first time we have a working build bot for stable so updates are much easier and a cron run like for Cooking and Undigest. http://cook.slitaz.org/stable/

   Thanks and big Hug to everyone who contributed to this release. SliTaz is an amazing community! Now work on 5.0 have already started, I know some devs have new features to implement and I will continue improve SliTaz services and organization. Please use the Roadmap before any big
   changes in the distro: http://roadmap.slitaz.org/

   In SliTaz 4.0 you will find a new entry in the Network menu "SliTaz bug report", but it will not work before a few days. This is a new bug tracker, our bug tracker with full desktop integration so users can post bugs from the desktop and it is a new try to have main devs using
   it! More info: http://hg.slitaz.org/tazbug/raw-file/tip/README

   Best regards,
   - Christophe

   Hi all !

   Slitaz 4.00 ! Yes !!!
   Unfortunately, same problem with Xorg on my Eeebox with this version :
   (EE) HID 046a:0023: failed to initialize for relatives axes
   It seems to be a keyboard problem ? It's a USB keyboard Cherry G-230
   I tried to choose language on startup but same problem.
   I also tried a Xorg -configure and a X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
   I also tried to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add setxkbmap -model pc105 layout pt in ~/.xinitrc : same problem...
   Any idea ?
   Thanks

   @tux61

   can you try to boot without the usb keyboard and plug it in later - to verify, if it is really the keyboard

   What is the idea behind the "proxy" flavour?
   Well I realized that there is just one rootfs.gz file instead of 4, and it seems there was gzip instead of lzma compression and no Sakura installed. But it seems for me: all that's not the point.

   Btw: it works fine with unetbootin (unlike the standard iso).

   @kultex : Without the keyboard my computer does not want to start !

   However, I try the following commands successfully :
   1) on startup, CTRL+ALT+Tab
   2) log on root/root on the terminal
   3) rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
   4) replace "nv" by "vesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-Device.conf
   5) startx
   6) install nvidia proprietary driver
   7) CTRL+ALT+Tab
   8) nvidia-xconfig
   9) startx !

   But, big big problem, I lost my "home partition" on install... And of course my backup is older !
   It seems that install program format even when you say no...

   How can I install SliTaz 4.0 grub into the partition boot record rather than the MBR?
   I run a shareware boot loader from Terabyte called BootIt Bare Metal and it controls the MBR. When I installed Ubuntu, it allowed me to install grub to sda1 rather than sda.
   The Boot menu shows SliTaz using Grub4DOS which I have no knowledge about. The 4.0 RC used to display a Splash image with a spider graphic, but it is not showing on the final 4.0 iso install.

   I am pretty new to this, so my terminology may be a bit off.

   Unable to install SliTaz 4.0 from the LiveCD; Tazpanel returns the message :
   Warning: /dev/cdrom: Mount failed
   Error 3 Invalid source

   When cdrom is mounted via the file manager, Tazpanel sees it in "Statistiques d'utilisation du système de fichiers" as... hdc !

   Disque Taille Disponible Utilisé Point de montage
   hdc 34.7M 0 34.7M - 100% /media/SliTaz core-4in1

   Not really a bug. Probably due to my main board (ASUS P4T), the cdrom is connected to the second ide port.
   I start to understand why I never successed to mount the cdrom in command line with LiveCD 3.0 ...

    Tazpanel-installer does'nt do Windows dual boot; message "Attention : Aucune partition Windows trouvée. Dual-boot désactivé" in /var/log/tazinst.log. Yet, TGT_WINBOOT is correctly set to"auto" in /var/lib/tazinst.conf

    I have to add lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst
    # For booting Windows XP from : /dev/hda1
    #
    title Windows XP SP3
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    chainloader +1

    Bug with Tazpanel-installer ?

    Have an issue under 4.0: When booting from CD (4in1 ISO), after selecting the language (en_US) and keymap (us), the screen just sits at a blank/black screen with no drive access (either HD or CDROM) apparent. It just sits there, staring back at me. :)

    This is on a Thinkpad T21 with an Intel AGP graphics adapter, and 256MB of RAM.

    No bug. You must not forget to set the hook in tazpanel-installer on ,,dual-boot". I did that and it worked out of the box.

    Hi all,

    I have the same error like @tux61, concerning the (EE) line in Xorg log, and I don;t know if it is relavant for what I will describe bellow.
    SliTaz boots, using vesa, so I installed openchrome, as my laptop uses it. Kill X, than startx and no cursor, and (inner?) screen seems wider, so one of the two icons (my docs) goes "into" the upper panel. Cursor seems to be there, but invisible, as I could click on the terminal icon (I see when the icons gets a bit highlighted). As soon as I open it, and exit it, cursor is there, but a "X-style" cursor, not the normal one. Also, couldn't right click or anything.
    Ok, created xorg.conf, added SWcursor - no joy. On 3.0 I used custom xorg.conf with these changes and it was working.

    Another serious thing, I use 'tazusb writefs gzip' but after reboot I still get the normal usb live install. No apps I installed, no openchrome no nothing. Has something changed in SliTaz in 4.0. :?

    Thnk you all for your effort.

    All best
