VL64-7.0-STD BETA 2 BUG REPORTS

[retired1af]

Yeah, something isn't working right at this point.

On the first restart to set up x I get:

No X found so bailing

and on the second restart I get the following:

gdm-binary[2264]: no suitable security token driver could be found
gdm-binary[2264]: WARNING: Failed to start X server seeral times in a short period; disabling display :0

On B2.1 and the installation went well on VirtualBox but notice some issue

1. /usr/lib/libintl.so is still there
2. /usr/lib64/libQtDesigner.so is a invalid symlink
3. running vcpufreq.gambas from terminal give me below error

benreilly:$ vcpufreq.gambas
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libqt-mt.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
vl7-64://usr/share/applications
benreilly:$ Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
Utils.?.0: #6: Type mismatch: wanted Integer, got String instead

I reverted back to Beta 2 and it installed with no issues at all (aside from no Grub).

Don't know what changed with the installer between 2 and 2.1, but 2.1 took twice as long to install and just flat wouldn't work once finished.

And again, we desperately need a way to parse instructions for inclusion when Grub or LILO is installed. I have to use nomodeset and rootdelay and there's no way of including that until the installation is finished and I can go back in and modify the configuration files.

Managed to get B2.1 installed using the installer from B2.

Exaile is broken with the following:

Yup. MP3s play fine. m4a, however, do not.

Yup. MP3s play fine. m4a, however, do not.

Install latest gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, good, bad and ugly solve the problem...

PS: notice upgrading all this will install claw-mail and others unnecessary pkgs as dependencies too...

Thanks to oMasta for the hint

B2.1 complain cannot install lxde-meta due to missing dep....upower-0.9.12...
B2.1 have upower-0.9.8...I think VL7 32bit is using 0.9.12...

This line in SlackBuild scripts ...
ls /var/log/packages/|grep vlconfig2|cut -d "-" -f4|cut -c 2-5

usually results in "vl70"

but in the b2.3 it results in "0vl7"
the end result is some funny named packages.
I could fix this by changing the line to end in "|cut -c 3-6", but since we want the slackbuilds to be reusable the next time around come vl7.x. I was wondering if there could be another way?

[M0E-lnx]

I see why.  The vlconfig2 package has made it to it's 10th release, so the full package name is "vlconfig2-7.0-noarch-10vl70".  I Again, this goes back the usual (and IMO wrong) way of doing these packages.  You see, I know we have not had 10 releases of this package since 7.0 went out.  So, with each release, the package VERSION should change, and not the RELEASE number.
Example:
VL-6.0 = vlconfig2-6.0-noarch-1vl70
VL-7.0 = vlconfig2-7.0-noarch-1vl70
VL-8.0 = vlconfig2-8.0-noarch-1vl70
Release numbers should only be incremented for (very unlikely) patches made to this package between releases.  The only scenario I can think of that would require this would be doing a 7.1 release after 7.0 of course.

So, in short, to stay consistent with our build system, I think the release number of the package needs to be fixed, otherwise, you have to fix a ton of slackbuilds for the 64b build

[uelsk8s]

there have actually been 10 releases of this package since the beginning of vl7 almost 2 years ago.
I will change the package in 64b to vlconfig2-7.0-noarch-1vl70 in the next ISO

[M0E-lnx]

Huh.  Was not aware of that.  But the idea is to keep this model and to make sure at least for this one package that the tag (1vlxx) stays at the fixed number of characters, otherwise our slackbuilds are going to be off all the time.

Could it be related to this problem?
