Using a minimal install and full install
Settings -> XScreenSaver
-Warning message: "The XScreenSaver daemon doesn't seem to be running...Launch it now?" I brought up a Salix 14.2 VM, and this issue is not present.
-Another warning message after dealing with the message above: "Directory does not exist: /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops"

Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
Create a file ~/.config/autostart/xscreensaver.desktop with the following contents:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=XScreensaver
Exec=/usr/bin/xscreensaver --no-splash
RunHook=0
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false
Edit ~/.xscreensaver and change /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops to /usr/share/backgrounds.
I'll change these in the user-settings-xfce package. Thanks the report!

So, after a fresh installation, I tried playing a youtube video in firefox and sound was working OK. I'll attribute this issue to vmware unless something else comes up.
Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
This is strange. The file should have been created during installation.djemos wrote: ↑12. Apr 2022, 15:13 3. Rebooted and connected with the user i have created at installation time. I tested all apps. All run, except gtkclocksetup
Running from terminal to see why is not open i got this messageAnd there is no /etc/hardwareclock file. It is not gtkclocksetup problem but it is because there is no hardwareclock file.Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/gtkclocksetup", line 99, in utcstate
f = open('/etc/hardwareclock', 'r')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Δεν υπάρχει τέτοιο αρχείο ή κατάλογος: '/etc/hardwareclock'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/gtkclocksetup", line 322, in <module>
app = GTKClockSetup()
File "/usr/sbin/gtkclocksetup", line 296, in __init__
self.utccheckbutton.set_active(utcstate())
File "/usr/sbin/gtkclocksetup", line 112, in utcstate
setutc(False)
File "/usr/sbin/gtkclocksetup", line 117, in setutc
f = file('/etc/hardwareclock', 'w')
NameError: name 'file' is not defined
In any case, I'll update gtkclocksetup to take that into account.
edit: I realize now that it's because clocksetup failed due to the libunrar issue during installation. I wonder why I'm not getting this error, even with the bad unrar package. Anyway, it should be fixed in both salixtools-gtk and unrar now.
Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
This is strange. I tried in virtualbox. I have sound there.
Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
Potential solution for the sound issue in VMware Workstation (it works for me).
Last post in the following thread:
https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMwar ... -p/1843402
After I added "sound.virtualDev = "hdaudio" to my vmx file and rebooted the VM, I received, "Error in creating sound stream . . ." but the audio worked.
Doing some digging into the last error, I came across this VMware KB article if you're running VMware Workstation on Windows like I am:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2086551
I haven't tried their recommendation as things work and I am calling it a night.

Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
Yes, it was a vmware problem. Solution is.
Under settings->Hardware->sound card "Device Status" ensure that "Connected" as well as "Connect at power on" are checked. And also in my case i picked up from menu: Use physical sound card-> ALSA: HDA Intel PCH and sound come up.
Re: Salix 15 Alpha 1 issues/feedback
I did a full install in Virtualbox yesterday. Installation was perfect, no issues. Played with it after install for about an hour, So far everything works. Was able to set up 2 screens in VBox with 1920x1080 resolution. Will play with it more today to see if something breaks.
It looks like conky-manager is not in the repos. Will that be added in the beta or even later?
