VectorLinux 7.1 final has been released!!!!!!

Vincent2 your input is welcome, including what you view as shortfalls.

The problem is being able to decrypt exactly what you are trying to say.

If in fact the programs do not automatically decrypt how does that leave anything
open in the wild?

You comment on VL7.1 deliberately doing anything without being involved as
a developer is not a statement you should be making.

The development team takes security seriously. At no point is anything done to reduce security.

The crash for sylpheed and claws-mail will be looked into.

Bonjour!
Thanks!
NOw the issue 're figured out, "pinentry"  's necassary for  PGP decrption in mail clients.But  on VL7.1 , pinentry  package 's missing still...Have to go slackware repo to grab it, once pinentry  is installed, everything's back to normal and stable again  with PGP mail clients now......
same issue encountered before with vl7.0 as well...

once pinentry installed, claws-mail 3.12 version sorce code's compiled from source install,running  stable  now
(claws-mail 3.9.3 pkg on VL7.1 repo doesn't support TLS, ssl protocol when pkg's compiled), but if  modifying  configure seetings of claws-mails, press save button, claismail soon went crashed, pressing apply button everything's normal...

at least claws-mail 's lightweighted in comparison to thunderbird...

pls. do upload some PGP key management tools to vl7.1 repo  as well.

[vincent2]

meanwhile, none of input tools (for japanese ,korean,hindi,laos,bangali,burmese,etc) such as "ibus-m17n"  and "fcitx"   available yet on vl7.1 main repo and test repo so far.....

there're ibus-m17n and fcitx on vl7.0  repo, installed  those don't wok on vl7.1 64 bit at all...

cmake on vl7.1 64 bit also isn't updated version

[vincent2]

ｉｎ　ｏｒｄｅｒ　ｔｏ　ｍａｋe　ｆｃｉｔｘ　ｗｏｒｋｉｎｇ，
Below is the extra command ｎｅｅｄｓ　ｔｏ add to /etc/profile

# For fcitx
    export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
    export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
    export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"

Bon Soiree!

there's another  daunting bug  on vl7.1std 64 bit,run xfce4 desktop for a while,then open console to run programmes, kept complaining can't open display: 0,0...then no programmes can be launched again, have to log off, resatrt xfce4 again and again......

here's output of running gslapt:

#Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

where's gone wrong?

how to fix it up?

under vl7.0 std  and vl7.1std beta and rc never encounter such bug at all......

DO offer Fix commands asap on it!!!!!!!!!!!!

This does not look like a bug, but an access control issue.
Open a terminal and run:

Code: [Select]

$ xhost +
And check if that fixes it. You should research about the security implications of this command though.
This often happens after trying to run xapps as root, between other possible causes. We may have a bug around the x credentials (xauth is rejecting connections thinking you are not an authorized client).
I have seen this after network manager reconfigures network also.

[vincent2]

xhost +


commands does fix the issues now......


but Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller   chipsets doesn't offer basic quality for displaying images, desktop texts and immages kept tearing from time to time, at xorg.conf  did add :Option      "TearFree" "true"   
it doesn't improve the tearing images and texts issues with intel GPU so far....
where's gone wrong?

here's output of GPU info:

Sounds more like a hardware issue that has nothing to do with x.org

sorry to say but i have downloaded the new 64bit version , but it wont run on virtualbox 5.10 it load text but thats it...
vectorlinux 7.1 .

will try later the 32 bit version ..

[chaletosuser]

testing the 64bit and the 32bit not one iso is working on virtualbox 5.10 not with commands or whatever dont work .
that it works on a real hardrive , but not one virtualbox it load text , slow slow slow but the distro dont load ..
what the hell of distro is this , not impressed...
0/10

[wigums]

im going to guess you have some other issue going on because we test extensively in vbox

i dont think so brother i am a developper and i run alot of distro's in virtualbox , vectorlinux run the black text from the linux distro but the distro itself wont load , not in 32bit and not in 64bit.

very strange other distro's works just fine ...

I'm not sure how you are testing this, but just for kicks, I just tried and my tests were successful.  Here is my setup

HOST OS:  Winderz 8 64-bit
VBOX VERSION:  5.0.10 r104061

Created the VM using these parameters
Selected 'Other Linux(64-bit)' for the OS Type
Allocated 756MB of RAM to it.
Dynamically allocated 8GB .vdi for disk drive.

No other settings were touched.
Loaded ISO image when it prompted for 'startup disk'.

Would you mind describing how this is different than what you are doing?

virtualbox stable 4.3.34 and still not working not in 32bit and not in 64bit , nothing is wrong here only your distro dont work in virtualbox.
it loads show black text and that is all , all other disto's work like a charme but not this two...
