After some investigations I found that Synapse requires at least Vala 0.14. While we have 0.12 in Rosa 2012 LTS (and I see in changelog that Vala was reverted back to 0.12 due to some stability issues). I cannot say for sure if it's possible to update Vala, I need to discuss it with other ...

Pulfer,
Many thanks for your help and reply! Nano 2.2.4 will work just fine. As per your instructions, I have filed a bug report for the package request of Synapse launcher.

I would also like to see Synapse and nano packages added to the repositories. Synapse is an application launcher, and the project page is located at:

https://launchpad.net/synapse-project

Nano, as most of you probably know, is a CLI text editor. The project page is located at: http://www.nano ...

First, a bit of feedback. The newly released LXDE version of ROSA is a very polished release. I very much like the fact that it is visually pleasing and lighter on system resources. To my main concern: is there a power management applet for Lxpanel in the repos? I could not find one, if indeed there ...

lisa,
True, most Live CD Linux distros include a partition manager, although for a fast booting disc with a partition manager the three options I mention are hard to beat.

Pulfer,
Thank you kindly for all of your answers. I gave in and decided to enable Nepomuk, and it really doesn't use all that much RAM. System Monitor reports that it is only using 26.6mb of my 8gb of RAM. It is good to see that resource usage of KDE as a whole has improved a great deal since I ...

I realize this answer comes a bit late, but when I was experimenting with other distros (prior to arriving at ROSA, mind you) I noticed that for whatever reason if I didn't delete and then format the partitions on my hard drive or SSD using the GParted, Paritition Magic, or System Rescue Live CDs ...

Hello all,
I hope someone can answer these questions I have regarding ROSA 2012. :)

1) Will ROSA 2012 upgrade to KDE 4.9 when it becomes available, or will it stay with KDE 4.8?
2) What is everyone's opinion on Nepomuk? I haven't enabled it myself for SimpleWelcome's Timeframe, but I've read that ...

Just sent you a pm with my info. I don't mind slow post. I've sent things to (and have received from) Mexico myself, and apparently packages can take up to 1 month to 1 month and a half to arrive. I guess you could say I'm used to it.

ДроноваЮ,
That sticker looks great! You stated that you send them by mail, does that mean they are available for purchase? If so how/where do I purchase one?

skok,
WOW! That looks very professional! Now if we can only get someone, company or otherwise, to manufacture these in an aluminum/high-quality type label like this one:

I'd also like to see a case badge for laptops. To be more specific, a high-quality aluminum (or other high-grade material) sticker for laptops featuring the ROSA logo, similar to the stickers that come standard on some laptops. I'm not sure what the Intel Core stickers are made out of, but it would ...

Hello to all and greetings from California, USA. I had been looking for an .rpm distro that worked well on my hardware but with Long Term Support and the latest KDE. Searching through distrowatch.com and some reviews on YouTube, I came upon ROSA and decided to give it a go on my Toshiba Portege R705 ...

Thank you VictorR2007! That worked perfectly and Adobe Reader is now installed and working!

Hello fellow users! I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me how to install Adobe Reader on ROSA? I have downloaded the .rpm from get.adobe.com/reader website, but when I attempt to install the .rpm I get the following message:

Some requested packages cannot be installed:
