Changes since Beta1 (same changes as in installable LXDE version):
-Added Gigolo
-Added Meld and its dependencies gnome-python and pyorbit
-Removed XDialog
-Upgraded packages to state of 08th Septembre 2010
Other Changes:

The fixes for ejecting the CD after usage and the grub background are not yet included.

Besides a few little suggestions from my side to improve the usability, you should go towards a release!

Thank you for your efforst! Nice job!! Congratulations.
Have a few questions regarding lxde but guess this is not the place to ask them.
So just one this question : which is the best way to put LXDE 13.1 RC1 on a usb-stick.

That would depend if you burned the iso on a CD-ROM or not.ikke wrote:just one this question : which is the best way to put LXDE 13.1 RC1 on a usb-stick.
1- Without burning the iso: with the help of Isomaster, extract all the content of the iso to the usb key then cd to the usb key /boot directory & execute install-on-USB.sh
2-After burning the iso & launching a live session: use LiveClone & check the (Based on:) "unmodified LiveCD" option.
What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
Re: Salix Live LXDE 13.1 RC1 available for testing
i downloaded 13.1 RC1 and test with similar simple method i did on 13.1.32-beta1.
md5 checked ok.
ok, the multi media files run alright on default media player after i install codec, with below observations:
1. i notice when i open the file using file manager, the list of application contain a lot of duplicates.
also, i notice, the first click when i want to open a file , the player pop up but did not run.
2. i must wait until the player time out, gave me error message, then i close it.
once it is close, second click on the file will have the player run properly
3. i notice gigolo included to my pleasant surprise
4. this time i tried to make bootable USB stick using the LiveClone, unfortunately, i failed to get it work three times using two computers,
the USB would boot up, many status on screen, followed by error:
EXT2-f2(ram0) error ext-2-get-inode : unable to read inode block-inode 5001 block 8236, attempt to access beyond end of device,
this message repeat three times. then with kernel panic,
the USB stick is fat32 formated, there was no problem installing any windows OS , softwares and some linux OS using this 4G USB SanDisk Cruzer
after these failure, i just want to confirm the USB is ok, thus i use linuxmint9 ( which has default program of Start Up Disk Creator), i used it to create a bootable USB for linuxmint9, and run it with no problem on the test computer. that should rule out the USB being the cause of problem.
hopefully the next time i tried it will work

Re: Salix Live LXDE 13.1 RC1 available for testing
I still think the USB is the problem. Maybe the paritition table is somehow weird. Most other distributions use syslinux. We use grub2 which relies on standard partition schema table.
Could you post the output of please?
Could you post the output of
Code: Select all
parted /dev/your_USB_device "unit s print"

it was formated with fat32 before use..JRD wrote:I still think the USB is the problem. Maybe the paritition table is somehow weird. Most other distributions use syslinux. We use grub2 which relies on standard partition schema table.

now it looked like

Re: Salix Live LXDE 13.1 RC1 available for testing
You should post /dev/sdb1 is your first partition on this USB disk.
Code: Select all
parted /dev/sdb "unit s print"

ok, please ignore the last message as it was already loaded with linuxmint9 OSJRD wrote:You should post/dev/sdb1 is your first partition on this USB disk.Code: Select all

now i do it again, using a third computer, my selection is :
Boot Manager : Grub checked
Based on unmodified LiveCD checked.
Use persistence : not checked.
and here is the result.
i3@i3-desktop ~ $ sudo parted /dev/sdb "unit s print"

Re: Salix Live LXDE 13.1 RC1 available for testing
Hum, your partition should normally starts at sector 63, not sector 62. That might be the problem...
