Salix OS

Thank you for this great OS. (Nods to the left, nods to the right.)

There are a few things that I discovered which aren't serious issues at all. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in.

It looks like there is a bug in Python code LOL, with the "GUEFI Boot Manager". I report this because somebody might pick it from the main menu and get annoyed at being asked for the user password and then the system just sits there doing nada.

See screen shot below.

I also wanted to report something about the Salix installer, the one that looks like that for Slackware. In the phase where it installs packages, it has to update the entire screen for each package. So a bunch of small packages installed in a few seconds causes the screen to flicker which might be unpleasant to some people. Also I noticed during the first minute it kept alternating "efibootmgr" with something else, but it did it very fast. It didn't do it anymore by the time the installer got to the libraries.

Hi, thanks for reporting these. Can you provide the output of

Code: Select all

sudo efibootmgr

on your system? I think python chokes on some weird character.

Hi gapan. I'm sorry I took a long time to respond.

Not listed in the screen shot is c.40GB Slackware 32-bit because it requested "LILO" not "ELILO" for bootloader. I wasn't going to risk it. I have to boot Slackware by going into GRUB menu for Manjaro, select it there. I have that other one because I use Wine a lot for creating music with plug-ins. I had to build it from "Slackbuilds".

EDIT: I hesitated to print the text piped from the program because it had some junk characters:

I'm sorry for the double-post. I was in a hurry doing something else at the time and didn't notice I hit "quote" button instead of "edit", my intention was to edit the third post in this topic to give text output as well as the screen shot.
