2012 Desktop Alpha 2 first impressions

[ferri]

I have problematic graphic card ATI Mobility Radeon X1350 for kernels 3.5.x and higher. It is impossible normal booting with kernels 3.5.x and higher.
But it was enough to add nomodeset at the end of the kernel booting options and booting started without any problem.

I do not prefer RocketBar. So I replaced it with Default Panel. But there is bug because it is without classical KDE menu.

I must state that there is feeling a lot of work from this alpha 2.

For KDE standard/kickoff menu

and add object to the panel

I know, but I was in live regime without internet.
And it is working without additional steps in ROSA Marathon.

In next ISO kickoff menu will be available by default again. It was missing by mistake.

After

Код: Выделить всё

urpmi --update --auto-update

I see that some hdlists (main, contrib) has updated.
But there are not any updated packages finally.
Is it correct?

Should be quite many already. Few hundreds at least.

So it seems that I have a problem. Because I have added sources but any updates for Alpha 2 so far.

I guess I know the reason. You need to mark main, contrib, non-free and restricted repositories as update repos. All updates appear in /release repos (not in /updates) until 2012.1 final is released.

I suggest to edit /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg file and add "update" line for /release repos. Like:

main\ (Desktop2012.1-1) [your mirror url] {
update
}

You were right.
Already working. Thanks.

I downloaded Beta 1 32bit, tried in live regime, but kickoff is missing.

I'm really sorry about that. Kickoff was added to ISO packages list right after beta ISO build started 1 week ago. I was little late. But as now it's in ISO packages list, next time it will be 100% included in ISO.

Still missing in RC.
