VL64-7.0-STD BETA 2 BUG REPORTS

[uelsk8s]

Please post any bugs from VL64 BETA 2 here.

Thanks,

First bug for me is the installer and grub2.  Installer fails to set up grub2 as bootloader had to go with lilo.

Second bug, is suspend.  I can suspend just fine, just can't get out of it.

third, is nouveau and how it makes my cursor disappear. Seems to happen when the screensaver kicks in.

Downloading now and will install shortly. Question.. Will there be a SOHO version of this?

[retired1af]

Confirmed on GRUB. Flat refused to install on my machine.

[retired1af]

Ugh. Getting that damned HDMI spam in syslog, too. >.<

[retired1af]

Oh! The Community List during the installation definitely needs some love.

Last one for this evening. I was expecting something more along the lines of what VL7 has (menu at top of the screen, Cairo at the bottom). Having a devil of a time figuring out how to get that #$)(*&@# panel to appear at the top of the screen. >.<

Running B2 and encounter below issue...yes...cannot use grub...have to use lilo...and i believe we have this same problem for VL7 32bit beta or rc...


vcpufreq give me error [6] Type mismatch: wanted integer, go String
instead. Utils.?.0

Login Windows no give me to enter root password to configure it...

try to build gwenhywfar-4.0.5 in B2 and it complain missing qt4 componet...I have to set the path in the SB to work...

--with-qt4-includes=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/qt/include \

It seem qt4 path is not declare in $PATH

root:# echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/java/bin:/opt/kde3/lib64/qt3/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib64/qt/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

It seem /usr/lib/libintl.so is pointing to an invalid target

vl7-64://usr/lib
root:# ls -all
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     22 Dec 13 10:16 libintl.so -> preloadable_libintl.so

Recreate symlink to point to correct path solve the problem...

vl7-64://usr/lib
root:# ln -sf /usr/lib64/preloadable_libintl.so /usr/lib/libintl.so
vl7-64://usr/lib

vcpufreq give me error [6] Type mismatch: wanted integer, go String
instead. Utils.?.0

What version of vcpufreq is on VL64-7.0-STD BETA 2?

[retired1af]

2.4.2

[Joe1962]

Hmm... I am using 2.4.2 (which is the latest) on VL7 RC1 32 bits (heavily updated) and have tried several 3.0.x and 3.1.x kernels (currently 3.1.1) with no issues. I wonder if it is a 64 bits problem?

Check if the path /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ exists and if the following files are in there (post their contents just in case):

affected_cpus
scaling_driver
scaling_governor
scaling_cur_freq
scaling_max_freq
scaling_min_freq
scaling_setspeed
cpuinfo_max_freq
cpuinfo_min_freq
scaling_available_governors
scaling_available_frequencies

For the record, it's working fine on my machine.

[uelsk8s]

vcpufreq is working well for me on 64bit also.

I have a new ISO up,I hate to do this but its the only way to test grub at install time.
you can get the delta here: http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/VL64-7.0/iso-test/VL64-7.0-STD-B2to2.1.delta
or the ISO here: http://vectorlinux.osuosl.org/VL64-7.0/iso-test/VL64-7.0-STD-B2.1.iso

Changes: new grub2 pkg, new os-prober pkg, fixed libintl.so symlink in installer.

Let me know if this fixes grub for you.

Thanks,
Uelsk8s

Seems we've taken a step backwards. Grub installed fine, but during the setup I wasn't asked if I wanted to setup X or allow the system to do it for me without an xorg.conf file. On restart it hangs at rc.x multiuser mode.

Will do a reinstall to make sure it wasn't a glitch.
