Where are e17 and LXDE iso's ?

[Archie]

There seems to be a delay with the upload of e17. Last minute checks?

Archie - I can see it being uploaded to IBIBLIO but it will obviously take some time thereafter to reach the mirrors before it can be downloaded (not sure of the full distro size though)

That itself is already good news. I've been waiting for it as well. Maybe it's a good time to sleep and look again in the morning. It's already half past midnight on my zone. Thanks for the info, menotu.

Its only 5.40pm here in the UK so I'll still be compos mentis for a while yet.

You'll have something to look forward to tomorrow

Uploading Enlightenment E-17 ISO to primary server to be synced to the mirrors. I was too tired last night

Thank you, menotu - I shall await patiently; please rest, first.  KDE4 Minime still functioning splendidly; the speed amazing - I shall explore that in the meanwhile.

[vc]

Have now installed E17.  Attempted to set up autologin; however, attempt failed and system now unable to boot into Enlightenment environment.  Shall avoid autologin on subsequent re-install.

<Modify>

Additional:  subsequent install failed to boot as well.  Shrug?  Third attempt; this time with plain ordinary ext2 partitions, just in case....

<Modify>

Third attempt successful?  Shrug.  Seems to be running well - taskbar shelf theme leans heavily towards 'heavenly', yet the wallpaper hasn't caught up?  No matter - easily corrected.  Too tired to continue; shall play with it come the morning.

<Modify>

No; there is a definite problem encountered with installing to my particular EeePC configuration - I shall enter a separate post, in order to address the issue.

Wall paper is dedicated to Sproggy who gave so much of himself to help us all have closely matching themes.  As you said. That's easy enough to rectify.

Installation problems are a bit touchy on my Toshiba A135 as well.  APCI problems. Works okay as long as I'm running on battery power but the minute I plug it in, I lose keyboard and mouse.  Go figure.  Works great on 2008-2009.  Newer kernel still has a few regressions to get worked out.  Sorry.

Obviously, I can't say for sure in your case, but for my "having perpetual problems with any of the new releases" machine, installing the 2.6.33.2-pclos1.bfs kernel has had a vast improvement in stability, throughout. My MiniMe 2010 installation has currently been up for 18 hours 32 minutes with this kernel, whereas the default kernel was crashing, on average, every 45 minutes or thereabout. That's totally locked up, lights flashing, kernel panic, push the reset button, type crashes I'm referring to. As all the DE releases have the same underpinnings, and same basic default kernel, it couldn't hurt to try the newer one.

No worry.  Thanks also to Sproggy - I was merely wondering, of why the E17 theming seemed a bit 'patchy'... the taskbar shelf looks good, yet the remaining does not yet match; particularly, some window decorations (buttons) seem to be missing?

That does sound frightening, Old-Polack.  While I had noticed some 'strange' things seemingly occurring with that kernel, they didn't seem as serious in consequence.

Perhaps I shall give the newer kernel a test.  Thank you, Old-Polack... I wonder what the differences actually are?

Meanwhile; I have opened a separate thread, regarding this issue:

http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,70971.msg582979.html#msg582979

Some additional observations:

- The unit is specifically an Asus EeePC 4G-W011 model;
- It has received very little usage, and is essentially in new condition;
- I have recently flashed the BIOS to its latest available version (1302);
- Both Minime 09 and Minime 10 seem to detect /dev/sdb as being the 'first' drive in the system (both Diskdrake versions list the 'sdb' tab first, followed by 'sda', and then 'sdc' (if present)).  This behaviour persists despite having ensured that the internal SSD is set as being the 'first' drive device, in the BIOS.
