I had a successful Alpha-1 installation. Then did a clean install of Alpha-2 and ran into a few problems not encountered with Alpha-1. It probably makes the most sense to simply wait for Alpha-3 next week and do a clean install. Just in case there is some value - I will mention a couple of the problems that I don't find in the online bug listings. I will let you know if the problems persist with Alpha-3. I suspect that these are not real reportable bugs but rather localized - we shall see.
Computer is and old Thinkpad T41 used for backup and testing. 1. Evening backup to the T41 - data files are deleted in Nautilus then new data is pushed to it via ssh from a Ubuntu 7.04 computer. Data is approximately 10,000 files, 1.5GB. All seems to work fine but approx 2 minutes after completion the following error appears: Application problem Sorry, the program "identify" closed unexpectedly 2. Initial install of Alpha-2 went fine except it didn't create a resolv.conf file. System/Administration/Network gui did not work. It opens, accepts data but does not seem to communicate/update your requests to the O.S. Problem solved by manually creating the resolv.conf file. 3. Another example of where the gui doesn't communicate with the O.S. System/Administration/Login Window/Security I have one application (non-opensource) that will not install with sudo. You must logon as administrator. I checked the box to "Allow local system administrator login" And via System/Administration/Users and Groups set a password, and even checked all the boxes in User Privileges. However GDM will not allow the logon. Also note that the boxes I checked in User Privileges are unchecked if you look again. Display problem or real? - I don't know. Note: Although this application will not install even with su - I tried simply entering in a terminal su - with the correct password and the reply is "su: Authentication failure" sudo does work as expected. -rich -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
