Hi laprjns!
...my network connection continuously cycles between being connected...
Maybe automatic power management of the wificard - can you disable it?
What says "dmesg"?

I tried Salix64-142beta1 in a VirtualBox VM in EFI mode.

No issue during installation. I chose to install both lilo and elilo (without a making a boot entry for Salix in the EFI firmware).

Salix didn't start at first in UEFI mode. However using the UEFI shell of the VM I could start it.

Next, I couldn't start X. No big deal, I needed the VirtualBox additions.

When trying to build the VirtualBox modules it complained of missing kernel source.

I installed the kernel-source, installed the VirtualBx additions and could start X. The desktop looks nice ;)

Keep up the good work!

Installed from DVD on older desktop PC.
Installation went smooth and fast. :D
Tried a few applications. Can't find any fault yet. ;)

As usual missing xclock, xterm and gkrellm. Installed now

Waiting for the final great Salix release. 8-)

I'm getting an "unable to open document when opening a pdf file with Atril. Atril is looking for libpoppler.so.61, but libpooppler.so.62 is installed.

I absolutely want to note about networkmanager and wicd:
I have tested many other xfce-distros - all(!) of them lock up and I had to reset the computer!
This happened mostly every day but this doesn't disturb me because I only want to use Salix.
But then it happened: Salix 14.2 (beta) crashes too...

Thankfully I read the message of laprjns and the odd problem of his networkmanager...
I'm having issues with networkmanager where my network connection continuously cycles between being connected and disconnected,
So I realized, that all tested distros are using the networkmanager!
(Salix 14.1 is using wicd)
I switched on Salix 14.2 to wicd and this problem is gone too - nearly two weeks without freeze :D

I don't think the networkmanager is buggy - he is more powerfull than wicd.
But there are apparently conditions where he fails.
I have found my point of failure -> the adsl-router.
(that's why I have tested so many distros - but this is a individual case, debated in this forum)
The networkmanager don't tolerate my adsl-router - so wicd is a important graphically alternative!
Don't bump wicd from the repository :!:

Looks like your using i586 (32 bit) system. My problem is on x86_64. I just did a fresh install, fully updated it and still getting the same problem with Atril

Maybe mate-utils just needs to be rebuilt against the current version of poppler. That would be easy to test.
