Second try, sorry if this is a duplicate, but I had postfix configured wrongly.
Hi!
Last evening I finally got around installing a beta4.
This was a german expert installation on my Notebook
Sony-Vaio-FX301, based on Via-Chipset with 256 MB RAM,
DVD/CD-ROM, integrated Ethernet, integrated IEEE1394,
integrated Modem (SoftModem), ATI Rage Mobility Graphics
Chipset including DVD-Support, AMD Duron 800 Mhz Proc.
First error (typo) was below the german license
"Lesen Sie bitte aufmerksam die die Lizenz..." should
only have one "die". Second: Instead of "Die Software-Produkte
umfassen, aber sind nicht" better write "sind aber nicht"
in the license text itself. Later you write in brackets
"(inklusive uneingeschränkt Schäden aufgrund..." instead
of "(inklusive uneingeschränkter Schäden aufgrund...".
Also some of the text in the license was duplicated, someone
should read this stuff again and correct it. I also found
out that the original french text has the same "error"
(this concerns the text above and below "AVERTISSEMENT QANT
A LA DETENTION OU L'UTILISATION DE LOGICIELS...").
When I select keyboard type I really like the translation
"ohne Akzenttasten" :-))
Also you should explain what the "Sicherheitsadministrator"
(I suppose security administrator) is when configuring msec.
On the Partitioning Screen I saw in the help that the Assistent
was called "Abra Kadabra". Is that original oder only german ? ;)
Another thing: Isn't it possible to search reiserfs partitions
for damaged blocks ? I could not select such a partition (this
was also the last partition to select for)
When trying to set up printer with cups this failed as well
because the network could not be started (why start network
when it is a local printer ?) Also network was configured
correctly (realtek ethernet card recognised) but I still got
the message "no network seems to be configured for internet
(,yes)" on the console while trying to set up printer. Even
manually setting it up did not work this time :-(
Still hpoj and cups were activated for startup (strange, how
could they rcognize my HP printer ? ;-)
The help of the creation of a start disk is not translated
into german (the Text itself above is of course). I chose
not to create one now.
I selected Flat Panel 1024x768 ("Flat Panel" not translated into
german as well) as monitor type. The screen resolution itself
was correctly detected. But I was disappointed to find out that
the default resolution was set to 800x600...
Rebooting... Failure (this seems to be a Bios problem, rebooting
only worked with the original delievered WinME AFAIR)
Firewire ohci1394 did start on boot (very nice :) but sensors
failed:
sensord: Error -4 loading sensors configuration file: /etc/sensors.conf
sensors-detect did not help me in this case, I was unable
to load i2c-viapro (I included lspcidrake -v and lspci -v in the
attachments). But it worked just fine with the via686a driver.
Somethings seems to be gotten wrong with the detection concerning
sensors-detect.
kdm_config showed up several unrecognized keys (AllowShutdown, NoUsers,
Users) in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
Sound module loading suceeded, but I got the following error message
in the kernel log file when I aborted kde loading with kdm (I use
gnome by default...):
kernel: Assertion failed! buffer !=0,via82cxxx_audio.c,via_dsp_write,line=2308
Also gconfd has some translation errors concerning logfile output
(in front of the braces "<<"and ">>" both have an "A" with accent circumflex)
Another warning appeared:
kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
I relly don't know who was causing this message.
My Hama pcmcia card (mount-Adapter for compact flash cards Type I and II)
really crashed your kernel on swapper, it did not stop to output stack
info (or whatever, I'm not sure if it was an oops, it just scrolled to
quickly away). I had no problem mounting and using it, only removing
crashed the kernel (i.e. I could no longer use keyboard/mouse). Here is
some kernel output concerning the device (and the card):
cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.
hde: PQI FLASH DISK, ATA DISK drive
ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 3
hde: 128000 sectors (66 MB)
/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
devfs_do_symlink(disc0): could not append to parent, err: -17
ide_cs: hde: Vcc = 3.3, Vpp = 0.0
some of the above messages were repeated during mounting the device
nothing was found in the log concerning the unmount :(
I also failed to load drakconf from console, though drakxtools-newt
are installed (it simply made a terminal reset). strace -f showed me
that an ioctl on SNDCTL_TMR_STOP were the last two commands (of an extra
running thread or process) before the reset happened
When I started an XTerm, I found the font a bit to large, but for
Gnome Term it was too small :(. Something between the two would
be ok, aterm has a really good size for my screen resolution.
Uh, oh well, I never saw a Konsole with "Tip of the day" ;) KDE
is really strange... the font size is nearly ok (I chose 14 instead
of 12 point for that font). I'm not sure, but it could be possible
that my old gnome2 (which I installed on a 8.2) settings mixed up
some of the (gnome) font sizes.
Next thing I tried was suspend to RAM/disk. RAM Suspend did work for
sleeping but on waking up the whole system froze without showing
anything on my screen (so no oopses etc., sorry). I had X running
but started the suspend from a virtual console.
BTW: I had no problem at all configuring my printer with drakconf
after reboot. This was the first time I had used drakconf after
install.. And I really like the new hpoj driver with access even
to Compact Flash cards...
When I tried to add my (external! I did not even try it with the
soft modem ;) I got a message that there were errors during
configuration (I only saw a modprobe: Can't locate module serial)
But I had no problems connecting afterwards. BTW: Is there a
possibility to actually configure modem lights usefully ?
The only thing I see is either to set kppp as "start" command
or wvdial, but how can a user configure wvdial ? Would be a nice
option for drakconf (not for 9.0 that's too late I suppose...)
That's it for the moment, I'm sre there is more to report but
the lack of time...
Regards,
Reinhard Katzmann
