Great work by Alin and Javier - I just tried Build3-1 and it looks fine. What are the remaining bits of polish it needs? Let's build a list so when it we make a splash about it it's a-mazing. Please all join in and suggest things needing fixing.
* desktop:/ still crashes in FolderView when run in a VM. This is hard to debug * Strigi is activated by default, and we disabled it in 11.3 to placate the angry brigade. Leave it off and keep Nepomuk enabled? * Set WebKitPart as the default HTML renderer? * Package selection - it's currently more KDE 4 Live than openSUSE 11.3. Should we replace KOffice with OpenOffice.org again? Digikam? Amarok 2.3.2?
Any more issues we noticed in the Live Image or read about in others' blogs we can fix?
OK, fired up 3-1. I could not find/burn a deal CD, so opted for USB. Wrote the USB using Studio Imagewriter - this app should be part of the default software on all future openSUSE installs. No problems writing to USB. I tried out the LiveCD on an Asus EEE PC 1005HA-H. Intentionally selected a low end netbook so that if there any issues with Nepomuk/Strigi they will be noticeable.. more so on low end than high end PCs. On boot I get an error message (after the desktop is loaded): ------------------- Nepomuk was not able to find the configured database backend 'redland'. Existing data cannot be accessed. For data security reasons Nepomuk will be disabled until the situation has been resolved manually. ------------------- So, with this error, Nepomuk is not started, and I can't really test to see if there is any impact from having it enabled - honestly I don't expect any impact anyway. Nepomuk/Strigi is working very well in the default 11.3 as it is, and on a LiveCD install, it's not like there are thousands of files to index anyway. The Desktop Folder view is set to /home/linux not /home/linux/Desktop. Intentional? The 11.2 Quickstart Guide is included in /home/linux No 11.3 guide available? Adding a Wireless connection seems... not right. I click the network icon in the systray, and Wireless is enabled, but I don't see the usual options for connecting to my WiFi (eg no Connect to Other Network menu choice)... all that's there is a blank menu option (no text) a dividing line, and then Enable wireless, and Manage Connections. I can open the Configure-KDE Control Module window and configure my WiFi connection... so did that. Now, Connect to Other Network shows up, but the configured WiFi connection is not available - there is still a blank menu item on the Network context menu. If I click that, I get a popup that says "Unavailable". If I click on Connect to Other Network I can select the connection i just defined, but it does nothing - no connection... just silently fails. So... no WiFi connection... something is broken here... note that WiFi works perfectly on this Asus EEE with a default 11.3/KDE4.4.4 install. This is what I see right away...
