Salix Xfce 14.0.1RC1

[fdeak]

Installed from an usb-drive to an encrypted root partition onto an old notebook.
Used only without network. Used only the stuff which I was needed during
the weekend: Libreoffice Calc, vim, and other programs which are not part of the distro.
No problem was discovered.

Although it was not a hard, systematic test, perhaps it's worth to mention the result.

Works great. Running on my original /home and /usr/local/ partitions.

Fluxbox with mate-panel.

That's what I like on Salix, very few hickups, at least in my desktop PC.

Just experienced another crash (total freeze, power off to reboot) opening a link in an email from pine. The browser was Midori, and when I opened it on reboot (following the same link) it reported that it had crashed.

EDIT

Just happened again. Maybe this is because midori needs to be called with dbus-launch (pine chose it for me before I had installed vimprobable, for which I have a wrapper that does so). This time, the crash was not immediate; it occurred when I clicked on a link to open a form.

I have a question..

Will this wireless dongle works out of the box?

Mimosa, I tried to replicate your crashes and got none.

In Sylpheed I opened a link with Midori, no problem.

In Mindori copied a large text into medit and again no crashes.

Well, java is broken: http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4742

Unfortunately that means that an RC2 will have to be created and another round of testing needed.

[mimosa]

Please create torrents for it if possible when it is ready

Thanks to all who helped testing this. I hope you are ready to install the RC2

Well, that was just the only issue I had encountered so far with the RC1.
Thanks for letting us know
Await the RC2.

Installed the 32 bit RC1.

Attempted to install the geany-plugins from sourcery (which worked flawlessly on Salix 14), errored out. The critical lines were :

Code: Select all

checking for catalogs to be installed...  be ca da de es fr gl ja nl pt pt_BR ru tr zh_CN
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for GEANY... no
configure: error: Package requirements (geany >= 1.23) were not met:

Requested 'geany >= 1.23' but version of Geany is 1.22

Sourcery shows the version of Geany and Geany-Plugins both as 1.23, but Gslapt and About Geany itself shows Geany as v1.22.

[mimosa]

You need to install geany 1.23 from slackbuilds first. Probably when you installed geany-plugins before, the version there was still 1.22.

Code: Select all

root[mimosa]#slapt-src -i geany geany-plugins
[...]
root[mimosa]# slapt-get --se geany
geany-1.22-x86_64-1gv [inst=no]: geany (A text editor using the GTK2 toolkit)
geany-1.23-x86_64-1_SBo [inst=yes]: Geany (small and lightweight Integrated Development Environment)
geany-plugins-1.23-x86_64-1_SBo [inst=yes]: Geany Plugins (additional plugins for Geany)
