echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usbX/power/control Hi Rodrigo, thanks for the suggestion. Alas, it made no difference.  |

Installed B0.48 (64-bit).
GRUB now installs properly during installation. Still running into an issue with GRUB not properly detecting and writing found OSs on the system to grub.cfg.

perhaps not as important just now but
Find that moving the mouse wheel on the desktop switches desktops, unchecking the box in switcher preferences is only effective when the pointer is on the switcher.
Edit: Solved, sorry there is also a check in tweaks
was happy to discover sweethome3d in the repository but only get a splash screen, which is better than the nothing I got when I tried the downloadable portable version from the web site on my VL7std install.

Three tests of B0.48 32-bit:
In Virtualbox no problems. Played with boot settings, found that not using an initrd cut the boot time by four seconds. Do I lose anything except the boot splash this way?
Custom box; VIA mobo, AMD CPU, nV graphics: Installed using B0.44 burned CD and .48 iso on USB stick: Install hung at "installing bootloader". Booted from CD and installed grub. Upon restart, no response to kb (ps/2), or mouse (USB), except Ctrl-Alt-SysReq, r, e did give me command line.
IBM Thinkcenter Intel P4 box, same peripherals as above; installed using B0.44 burned CD and .48 iso on USB stick: Install hung at "installing bootloader". Booted from CD and installed grub. Keyboard and mouse works, NIC does not.

system = intel p4 cpu 1.7 ghz intel d845ept2 board 768 meg ram 1280 x 1024 f-417 neovo monitor gforce gf4mx440se 128 meg agp bo.48 32 bit Installed via gui, advanced, existing, choose grub2 to sda/3 install hangs at installing bootloader. reinstalled and choose lilo no issue. The wifi notification is now silver but has a black background. when I previously switched from inherits= Faenza,gnome,hicolor (which was black) to = faenza-Dark,gnome, hicolor I got silver but no background. must have been getting the notification-gsm-x-.png. which matches the volume.I though it must have been nm-signal as it was also silver http://files.myopera.com/dsl-o/albums/550557/bo48.pngyou can see the better match here http://files.myopera.com/dsl-o/albums/550557/dressing1.pngadded the foum as a button replacing the redundant close all window button as I am not using desktop icons here added the optional menu tag as some may need it. just the button looks better personally |

I was looking at this icon that matches the volume http://files.myopera.com/dsl-o/albums/550557/34%20PM.pngI deleted all the nm ones hopeing it may default but not. The icon themes from xfce-look are about as usefull as the style themes, NOT anyway I am done with it for now, it is what it is. |

IBM Thinkcenter Intel P4 box, same peripherals as above; installed using B0.44 burned CD and .48 iso on USB stick: Install hung at "installing bootloader". Booted from CD and installed grub. Keyboard and mouse works, NIC does not.
Looks like we got an old version of the installer -which is not compatible with latest grub2- in the ISO by mistake. |

Just notice /dev/shm is not created at boot time in VL 7.1.
Currently on B0.45 32 and 64bit...
Do anyone have the same problem?

Rodrigo, if there is a way to mess something up, count on me to find it. I suspected that the install method could affect the process, that's why I specified how I did it.  With this in mind, I tried using VL64 B0.48 ISO and unetbootin to create a bootable USB stick. It booted to command line only. Trying "install" for text installer resulted in "image not found". Oh well, booted into 32-bit .48 (with Vector's new kernel) and used Brasero to burn a CD of 64-bit. Burned VL64 B0.48 CD booted and installed without problems, for both GUI and text installer. This on my Ivy Bridge box. Once up and running I tried some customizations. Changing desktop appearance works, hello Clearlooks! Changing desktop background did not work as expected. I could change the wallpaper, but selecting "none" and specifying only a solid color resulted in a black desktop with no icons, and system instability. Right-clicking desktop did nothing. Took well over a minute to log out. Created new user and tried again, same result. Best I could come up with was to create an image of the solid color I wanted and set that as background. Next I wanted to install the nvidia driver. Could not find kernel-src for 3.10.14 in vl repo. Downloaded source from kernel.org instead. Uninstalling nouveau using gslapt did not disable the module, though the Nvidia installer did detect and disable it. Still, I could not get the module to build, it complained about missing info in some .h source files and I didn't feel like pursuing it any further. Will try again when our own source package becomes available. |

May be that will give some idea why this problem with claws-mail only in VL-7.1-Beta |

Will try again when our own source package becomes available. before runnning unetbootin,you should use gparted to format your usb disk as 16bit fat,md5sum to check iso 's integreties, then remount, once finished unetbootin,unmount usb disk. you should find kernel-src for 3.10.14@ http://vlcore.vectorlinux.com/pkg/untested/veclinux-7.1/x86_64/, test repo...... |

Tested this in Virtualbox on both 32 and 64 bit, B0.48. Same result there. |
