Hi, I'm happy to announce the fourth test release (alpha3) of the Lenny based Skolelinux version, hopefully the last one before our first release candidate, RC1, which should be available fairly soon!
Please test this images as much as you can and report back feedback. Since the previous test release (alpha2) some bugs got fixed and some of the features broken in the last release are now working. (But read on below for a short list of known broken things.) The updated images can be downloaded via FTP, HTTP and rsync (see below for detailed instructions). The CD image size is about 606 MiB and the DVD about 4.4 GiB. Here are the most remarkable changes since the third test release (alpha2): Updated Gnash to a version writing less log messages to ~/.xsession-errors (fixes #1404). - The DHCP server doesn't die over night anymore. (fixes #1398) - Rewrote sound handling for thin clients, to use ESD for KDE and Pulseaudio and ALSA via pulseaudio for everything else, to get more applications working with sound on thin clients. Selected applications (audacity, gtick) using /dev/dsp (OSS) have been configured to use Pulseaudio instead. - Correct PXE installation settings when installing the main-server using DVD, to make sure the preseeded mirror settings make sense. - Partition sizes have been adjusted for installation of Main-server+Thin-Client-Server, Main-Server+Workstation and Workstation to avoid having to extend them during installation. - install acpi-support-base on LTSP clients to make sure the power button work on hardware where it send an ACPI event. The following known bugs are present and don't need to be reported: - if the installation was done from DVD without network access, diskless workstations don't work. This is being worked on and for alpha3 we recommend to install with network available only. - it's not possible to unlock the screensaver in KDE. This bug is already fixed in lenny-test, the fix just not made it into alpha3.
