Salix Xfce 14.0beta1

If your using slapt-get, then you are already using Slackware packages. In general any package built for Slackware 14 should work on Salix 14

okay thanks it was mentioned to me that Sourcery doesn't yet point to slackware 14 packages so I was thinking perhaps there are packages available elsewhere that aren't available ithrough slapt-get.

When will be the next stable release of Salix-14.
I am using it after the 13.37 version. Still have it on one partition as main OS.
It would be nice to start all over again with a stable release.
But I also test new 64bit beta1-14 on the second partition. Quite well so far.
I can not say I'm sitting at the computer too much, too. eh

I fix a "bug" in the lilosetup with pt_PT translation. Basicly i forget to put the # before the line Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table: in portuguese Substituir os padrões perigosos que reescrevem a tabela de partição:

I detect the error after i try to run the lilosetup(in portuguese language) and i was always getting an error!
Just to say that that error is fixed in Transifex now.

PS: I keep translating the pt_PT language alone.... any help??

Should all bug reports for the beta be posted in this thread? Or should we start to create individual posts under Problems or Bugs?

While the beta is looking very good, this thread is starting to get crowded. My previous question here was lost: http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 369#p26369 -- I was able to resolve it only after posting the issue under Problems.

Looking for the best way to be cooperative, while ensuring that valid reports are visible enough to receive appropriate attention. Thanks!

I would say that if the report is simple and the resolution is direct (or at least will be easily known or understood by Salix Team), then it would be OK to just report it in the respective alpha/beta/RC announcement topic. But, if the report needs some additional discussion, testing, feedback..., then a separated topic should be opened, and a cross reference added to the relevant alpha/beta/RC announcement topic.

That way, there is some issue-tracking in the relevant main topic, but specific discussions can be followed up appropriately.

Hi. i test it. i must say Xfce 4.10 is again a little better then previous version Xfce 4.8. Setting dialog is awesome.

now i try to test one very nice (cute) distribution from Czech with name Slax (is live cd based on Slackware), its restarted project now in alpha verzion.. i write this here becouse i have new love.. this love is KDE4. i never like KDE4, after deadh of KDE3 i lost a interest of KDE. but now i see two keys: Slackware and KDE4 together.

i will wait while you guys create a Salix version with KDE4, becouse i need slapt-get and additional packages. i know how to build package with SlackBuild but i am very lazy to use original Slackware and compile handly / manually each package who i need. this is my reasen to use Salix as distro.. for now good luck. and short time to release Salix 14
