As usual, I burn a DVD. I install the RC release on a PC and I write on another what happens.
1- On the first screen, F2 allows to choice the langage. The timeout is too short and people who discover this screen have no time to press F2. A timeout of 60s or no timeout should be a better choice. 2- Durin package installation, the remaining time is too much false. It begins with 50min, shows 1h30 but 15min later it shows 5 minutes. 3- In "Résumé", setting local hour, Paris is selected, that's right but when I ask for a ntp server, France should be selected instead of the whole world. Installation is near of perfection, but we always need to do better :-) After the reboot. The result works very well and is beautiful! I have a Midiman Delta44 sound card. I just need to set the levels in envy24control to make it work. The "nouveau" video driver works fine with a card GeForce GT220. With this card, I can forget the proprietary driver. Problems found 1- Video mp4 : there is no sound. a pop up asks for a plugin MPEG*4 AAC but AAC is the coder, AAD is the decoder which is needed. More, the tainted packages must be selected first. gstreamer-faad is needed. 2- mpeg sequence, v2, program multiplex: A pop-up says that DVD subpicture decoder is needed and is unabled to find it. However, the movie starts and stops few seconds later. 3- After the installation, it should be great to have a screen saying: - you may select the sources of software and for example, unselect the CD/DVD, add the non-free, the tainted and their updates which are necessary to allow flash and mp4. These little problems for a geek, are montains for beginner. With Ubuntu, they have no to take care of them. This is a reason for its success. -- Pierre Jarillon - http://pjarillon.free.fr/ Vice-président de l'ABUL : http://abul.org Microsoft est à l'informatique ce que McDonald est à la gastronomie
