Re: Testing iso with kernel 3.2.50

Hi all

I had some spare Time,so I fetched me a copy of the Testing-iso

( slitaz-test-3.2.50-04092013.iso ),to help with testing,

from the link in the first post.Is this the latest version?

I burned a CD, and it booted without probs.

BUT the Hardware detection failed.

None of my IDE-devices were found; no HDD no DVD-Rom's

( checked in Terminal )

There are more bugs on the List,but as long as I don't know if I have the newest version I won't post here.

If you need some log-files, please tell me which.

regards

Re: Testing iso with kernel 3.2.50

sixofeight, yes this is my last version - main reason I did it, was to avoid the 5% sound hanging of rolling and to test cpu freq scaling and the new kernel-config with new ide config.

In this thread you find info how to see internal drives

http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/new-kernel-version-in-the-wok

and there is a problem with DVD-Roms - I have tested quite a lot and 50% work normal 50% do not work at all - I have no idea why until now, but I have nealy no time in the moment ???

So all info will be helpful for further developement

Re: Testing iso with kernel 3.2.50

Hi

Just to be sure not to do useless things.There is the iso from kultex

(slitaz-test-3.2.50-04092013.iso) and there is a slitaz-rolling.iso dated

2013-Dec-29 01:04:08.Which is the one I should look at and report bugs?

Thanks

Re: Testing iso with kernel 3.2.50

Maybe the best is to compare, what you like and not, what works and what not - the official rolling iso will change soon, because the new kernel config is now in undigest http://hg.slitaz.org/wok-undigest/rev/87ea6f7a9313

Re: Testing iso with kernel 3.2.50

As promised,a first glance from a user's point of view.

kultex-iso:

wbar..it's a matter of taste..why not..but it should only allow one instance or give a hint that it is already running.right now you can click the button again and again,(accidently),and without looking at the Task-manager you won't know how many instances are running.

obconf doesn't preview/change themes without logout/in

Logout tux -> login root gave me a blank brown Desktop.No panels,nothing,only the Openbox rightclick-menu was available.Starting the Panel in terminal brought up a bottom-panel.

SpaceFM, the red root-user-color made the menu unreadable.

(yes,I can turn it off but that's not the point)

rolling-iso:

(IDE)-HDD and DVD-rom-drives were detected.HDD working,DVD-drives not.(allways shows no media)

btw.Drive-Icons missing? floppy and DVD-drives have a red cross.

obconf didn't start at all

logout tux -> login root = correct Desktop

It would be nice to have a configureable cpu-monitor in the Panel (eg.like xfce) to configure them to specific cpu-cores

Re: Testing iso with kernel 3.2.50

thx sixofeight for testing - when you check wok, there are a lot of commits now. I am off the next 2 months because of work. Perhaps I will do new version of my iso in March. I will take care of your notes,
