beta testing veclinux-7.1

[Pita]

Made another install with vinstall-iso-ng.

This time I did no vasm configs in X like adding a user  or changing root
password. Instead I stayed in root console and did vasm there. So far so
good survived 3 (now 4) reboots and logins as user. Internet, sound card working
as well as mouse and KB.

1: old text installer is missing some finishing touches, try booting into TUI, running depmod -a, then reboot to GUI

Tried that, on 64 bit B0.17 in a vm. No improvement.

Try .18.. Better yet, .19 just hit the streets a couple of hours ago.

Installed B0.19 (64-bit)

Flawless install.

Still running into the issue where dhcpcd.conf isn't being written.

Mixer still crashing when trying to adjust volume with mouse wheel.

No suitable plugins found error still with Exaile. (.m4a and .mp3 files)

Will put this one through its paces later today.

Edit -- Almost forgot. During the install process, GRUB isn't picking up all the OSs on the system. It tends to ignore the SOHO installation which resides on /dev/sdb1. Running grub-mkconfig picks it up, but it SHOULD detect it during install. Happened on B0.18 as well.

B0-19

It is now very clear that the problems I get is due to alsaconf in vasm-legacy while in X.

Installation and first boot smooth. Internet connected and sound card found.
Mouse working in console.

Startx opens Xfce4. All working correctly.

Opening vasm-lagacy, trying to start alsa sound vasm-legacy crashes.

After that mouse can be moved, however, not clicked.
Get out to console with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

Reboot

No mouse in console, no Internet connection, no soundcard found.
Starting X no mouse/keyboard.

I can only solve it by reinstalling and not touching vasm-legacy-alsaconf while in X.

BTW audio CD does now play with umplayer and gnome-mplayer.

Mixer still crashing when trying to adjust volume with mouse wheel.

I tracked this down to this: xfce4 -mixer crashes if you dont run the configuration tool (right click, properties) and pick your soundcard, etc.
Even if it looks like the default settings are alright you need to get to the dropdown and select a card.
There is some talk at the xfce4 mailing list about some patches for this issue, I will stay alert.
Let me know if doing this dance fixes it for you or you are facing a different bug.

I can confirm this. I was recently building my own xfce-4.10 packages (I build all the libs and apps as separate ones) and then started to use them. I thought: dang... xfce4-micer still crashes!!! Then I realized that after configuring it, no more crashes...

PS: FWIW, they should probably program in a call to the config window on first run...
