Hi Israel,
1) alsa-mixer installed and volumeicon starts as required volume last set.2) I
was wrestling with the package warnings which now seem fixed after update.3)
The 1m30s wait seems to be for the swap file not the cdrom file entry in
fstab.4) I tried the firstrun script but browser install attempt failed...see
below screensnip.

Hey Jack,
OK a couple of things I have found/done.
Apparently I forgot alsa-utils for the Debian install.
the package names are kinds different in Debian sometimes
(alsa-base and alsa)
So, I must have accidentally removed it when I was trying to
figure it all out.
So, now volume should work... well in the next ISO.
You can install alsa-utils if you like.
If you do install from the terminal you will likely get error
messages when running sudo apt-get update.
This will be fixed in the next ISO.... errors due to the
complexity of adding a PPA to Debian, but I have since gotten it
down well enough to make things work reliably, so no worries it
works fine in the not yet released version.
firstrun (our initial boot into ToriOS startup script/dialog)
I have modified this fairly heavily to allow for installing
Firefox
Chrome
Seamonkey
Qupzilla
Midori
Chromium
Opera
in either Debian OR Ubuntu.
If you know Debian you know Firefox is not normally installable.
So this will bring in a version from the same place we get
seamonkey.
The unfortunate thing about this is those browsers (as it turns
out) are not localized at all... ONLY us English.
But the user can easily (hopefully) install any of those other
browsers.
So Jack, if you could:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
&& firstrun
This should pull up the new version with the first item being
"Install a web browser"
Please test these, if you would.
This is a first try on a fairly complicated script so hopefully I
just did everything right the first time and made no typoos.
Again, installing some of those browsers is not as easy as it is
in Ubuntu.... but some of them are equally hard :)
I am going to have to test some things to find out what is up with
the window positioning, and locale.... I am not entirely sure why
it is not doing what you specify. As it is, that should work
fine.... but I will need to mess around with things.
But, for the first Alpha of the Debian based ToriOS, I'd say we
are off to an amazing start, compared to the Ubuntu version
progression.

Hi Israel,
Installed in VB:
1) The OBI install progress box is back in the
centre again and is overlayed by all the other pop up
boxes; we had moved that to the bottom before, I
think.
hmm. I don't get that on mine. It is moved to the bottom
AFAIK... but I will look into it.
I recently added a feature to save the install log to the
user's $HOME.
So check to see if that log is in your $HOME IIRC it is
called obi-installer.log
Send it my way if you would sir.
This will help me look at the issue for #5 (Locale) in your
other e-mail as well
2) On booting there is a 'start job is running for
dev-disk-by\' message that delays for 1m30s and then
continues.
This happened because the cdrom line is listed on the base
OS /etc/fstab (at least AFAIK)
So this should be fixed when I create the new ISO. SystemD
is a different kind of thing all together.
3) No well known browser installed.
Yeah, and the ISO is over CD size... SystemD stuff takes up
a lot more room somehow :(
Not sure if I can slim the liveISO down more or not, to
install a browser. It might be good to add this to the
firstboot dialog, right?
Maybe offer a dialog with a choice of browsers
Firefox
Chrome
Seamonkey
Qupzilla
Midori
Dillo
Opera
(any others?)
4) The panel volumeicon seems to always launch
'muted'.
I find this is the case in my VM usually. I don't think
that this is the case for real machines.
Welcome back.
Yeah, thanks. It took a while to get over the huge hurdles
moving everything to Debian.
These issues are minor compared to what I was initially
dealing with!
Cheers,
JackT.
