Here's my test-report of trying daily-live/20060419 My computer is Athlon 1GHz, 256MB.
After booting, I select "Check CD for defects" - Progress-bar doesn't work. After erratic start, it goes from 0% to about 4% and them back to 0% and to 4% etc... (I got allmost same problem with Kubuntu Flight-5 LiveCD) - After checking ends, I get "OK" and "Press any key to reboot your system", but system won't reboot after pressing few keys. Ctrl-Alt-Del does reboot. Then real boot: Language: English Keymap: Finnish Screen: 1024x768x24 - Booting works OK. (progress-bar could use brighter colors.) - Screen flickers, which means that refresh-rate is too low. (This is common problem for me with LiveCDs.) - Once I get to Login-screen, I'm unable to guess right username/password combination. I use Ctrl-Alt-F1, "cat /etc/passwd", Ctrl-Alt-F7 to see that I need to login as "ubuntu" with no password. - XFCE starts without problems. - I go to Settings->Display Settings and change resolution to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which fixes the screen flicker. (This was easier that I expected :)) Then for testing: - Mouse: OK (wheel works) - Keyboard: OK (Finnish keymap works) - Sound: OK (double-clicking WAV in thunar plays it in Xfmedia) - Internet: OK (Firefox works, and internet connection is working.) - Terminal: OK -- LVM2 is included so I'm able to mount my filesystem (ReiserFS/LVM2) - GParted: OK (starts & shows right information) - GIMP: OK - File Manager (trunar): OK -- Not sure if I like that icon on symlinks... -- DoubleClicking on files: --- WAV: Opens in Xfmedia and starts to play. --- SPX: No default application --- TXT: Opens in Mousepad --- HTM: Opens in Firefox Reboot: - I press the "Quit"-icon on toolbar and then select "Restart" - XFCE is shut down. - I get back to console. (But there are no messages about reboot-process.) - CD is ejected - and then: nothing. No messages, no reboot, nothing. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del or other keys does nothing. This seems to be a bug. (I didn't wait for long. But it seems strange that I didn't get any messages about the reboot-process.) Conclusion: I'm impressed. System seems to work fast enough. (Kubuntu Flight-5 was not a pleasant experience. It seemed too slow for me.) Refresh-rate wasn't set-up correctly, but it was easy to fix. "Check CD" had problems. (But this probably isn't Xubuntu issue.) Reboot is not working. This should be fixed. Found a small bug: - Applications->Help opens "Xfce 4.2 Documentation" in Firefox. "Panel" and "Filemanager" links on that page points to missing files. -- Markus Laire -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
