Just did a full install using the new DrakX. Here's how it went:
Installation Class: Expert
Usage: Development
Choose size you want to install: Whatever the maximum was
Why no ability to choose packages I wish to install? This lack seems
strange for an Expert install.
Screen updates were abysmally slow, about 30 seconds to redraw.
X configuration failed to recognize my graphics card (Trident 975) and gave
me the fb kernel. Graphics resolution was limited to 640x480. Then it
erred out saying it couldn't find the fb kernel. It was installed though, I
looked. The X configuration did work fine for me with the previous versions
of DrakX.
Here's the errors I got on the various virtual terminals:
F1 Errors:
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
Error opening security policy file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 0.
Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed! at
/usr/bin/perl-install/install_steps_graphical.pm line 737.
F2 Errors:
zsh: failed to load module: comp1
F3 Errors:
Hard to catch as one line seemed to be getting executed repeatedly.
Possibly that line is the reason the screens take so long to redraw. The
line is:
* running: cd /usr/bin/perl-install/po ; bzip2 -c
/usr/bin/perl-install/po.cpio.bz2 | cpio -id en.po en.po/*
Upon booting into the new install, I had a number of errors due to missing
files. Didn't catch what they were. The penguin logo was missing from the
login screen. I logged in to make sure that was OK and then rebooted into
WinDoze to send this message.
Including ddebug.log and install.log for you to look at.
