Little test:
I stole (for a while ) the PC of my wife and... The 64bit version with UEFI in Hp Presario Cq58-221sl works fine!
Only two little things to fix for me (not related with Salix):
- a few seconds after booting the screen turns off and stays off, I have to manually re-enable it with the keyboard's key
- UEFI works, but i have to start with F9 to chose Salix, otherwise start windows without menu to chose

Salix Xfce 14.1RC1
Re: Salix Xfce 14.1RC1
OK, I've been testing out the 64bit RC by doing the following:
1 Compiling software outside of the slackbuild system (i.e configure, make, make install)
2. Installing multilib (via djemos script)
3. Removing multilib (via a third party script)
4 Repeating 2 and 3 via various methods including manually
5 Downloaded, compiled and installed a gigabyte (or two ) of software through gslapt/sourcery
6 Removed packages, re-installed packages, upgraded packages.
7 Tinkered with runlevels, rc.* scripts, xfce settings, sudo rules and lots of other things that are best left alone
8 Added latest versions of some of my "must-have" stuff, as well as commercial packages.
and we're still running smoothly.
While a lot of the stability is due to slackware, the care and attention to the Salix additions is evident to me after doing enough to bugger the 'buntus, frazzle the fedoras and raze the red-hats
This has the feel of a rock solid release to me.
Thanks to all the Salix devs, contributors, packagers and testers.

64-bit DVD install
My two printers, Epson and Brother, are not detected by cups.
Installed system-config-printer and added printer Epson. It still does not print
saying: waiting for printer to become ready. There is no error log.

Thanks for the report. It seems cups requires the root user. It seems to work if you add a password for the root user with:Atip wrote:64-bit DVD install

Code: Select all
sudo passwd
Code: Select all
SystemGroup sys root lp
Code: Select all
SystemGroup sys root
I'm currently looking for other solutions too.
Does this always happen? Can you try right after a reboot? It looks like a problem with the soundcard. Maybe something else has it locked?Atip wrote:parole does not open:
Re: Salix Xfce 14.1RC1
Here's another fix for the printer issue. Edit the SystemGroup line to replace the lp group with the wheel group, like:
and restart cups. Since the 1st user is a member of the wheel group, when cups asks, provide the username and password of that user and it should work. No need to enable the root user and that's probably how we're going to do it for the final release.

SystemGroup sys root wheel

Worked Quite a relieve. Added the wheel, stopped cups, started cups and printers roared away printing.gapan wrote:Here's another fix for the printer issue.

Fixed! Installed the multimedia codecs. And yes parole failed right after booting. If I remember right in beta1-32 bit I did not have togapan wrote:

install multimedia codecs for parole just to open. Now with RC1 both 32 and 64-bit it happened.
Re: Salix Xfce 14.1RC1
Maybe a missing dependency?
