mimosa, just replace efiboot.img and recreate the iso and system will boot.
Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
Hi
I installed it in virtualbox and have done some testing.
Got the issue with gtkclocksetup reported earlier. Fixed after an update.
Another strange thing is that gslapt is in English but most other application is in Swedish, the locale is sv_SE.utf8 and there is a gslapt.mo that i decompiled to check if it was wrong but it was not, so what could be wrong with gslapt?
I then tried to install it on a real computer, it boots up and i can select language, but when i try to type in setup the keyboard is dead.
Its the same if i select English.
I have tried it on 2 different computers but the result is the same.

Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
ibka this is so strange. I can confirm this too. I'm not sure what's going on. The weird thing is that localization in the package distributed by jaos.org works. So, it has to be some packaging mistake, but I can't see what that might be.
Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
OK, issue with gslapt is solved now. It seems localization when compiling with autoconf is now broken with latest gslapt, but compiling with meson works OK. I'll have new packages in the repos ASAP.
Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
I have noticed a difference in the installer between the Basic and Full installation choices.
Basic installation choice
-After the lilo configuration, I am prompted to configure the network.
Full installation choice
-After the lilo configuration, there is no configure the network prompt.
Not sure if this difference is by design, so I am pointing it out.

Basic install: Cannot change the hostname
Basic install using DHCP as the network option as it was the default option selected.
System -> Hostnames
-Enter credentials
-Change hostname
-Click OK
-Nothing happens. Click OK again and nothing happens. Expectation would be for the hostnames window to close like it does with a Full Salix installation
-Running hostname in the terminal shows the hostname was not changed.

Full install: Cannot run other Salix admin tools that require elevation after changing the hostname.
System -> Hostnames
-Enter credentials
-Change hostname
-Click OK
System -> Gslapt Package Manager, System Clock, System Language are the other apps I tried but they would not load or prompt for credentials.
Workaround:
logoff and logon again.

Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
This is by design. It has been like that since forever. In Full mode you get NetworkManager, which connects automatically to wired networks and can be used to configure both wired and wireless networks after installation. In Basic mode, it's not there, so we have to use the old school scripts to connect to wired networks. There is also no support for wireless in Basic.EricC wrote: ↑15.

Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
I have to revisit the hostname tool. Something seems to have changed dramatically in 15.0, probably related to PAM, which leads to all sorts of problems as you have found out.EricC wrote: ↑15. Apr 2022, 23:07 Basic install: Cannot change the hostname
