Dynebolic 2.5.2 Fixes
quote from Jaromil on the dynebolic mailing list re fixing the bugs in dynebolic 2.5.2:
half of the work is to list all those malfunctions, so i hereby propose everyone to start writing a page on the wiki http://lab.dyne.org/DyneBolic252Fixes
List of known issues:
Rosegarden does not 'see' LADSPA plug ins making them unavailable for audio processing. May also be a good time to upgrade to the newer version.
Dial up networking does not work at all, not even dialing out, even with a hardware serial modem (lacking of the kernel modules).
Cinelerra the menu and buttons have no functions...
ROX-Filer:
- When you start an application via Rox (just doubleclick a common file), it can happens that the application creates it's settings directory in the system root - e.g. "/.mplayer" instead of "~/.mplayer".
- It's not possible to change the user's language in the Rox options - but when you do this in /etc/LANGUAGE Rox doesn't support all chars - it needs UTF8. Changing "export LANG" to UTF8 support will result that other appications can't display or even display wrong some characters...
Timidity is missing in this dynebolic version, but how should MIDI files be played? - There's no hint in dynebolic anywhere and JACK doesn't start (error messages) or crashes after configuration...
Ideas for future dynebolic releases
Screensaver support: Something like xlock or other known X tools.
Advanced multiuser support (maybe for the use in schools and activity centers):
- the mounting and umounting of devices for non-root users should be as simple as possible (e.g. Rox shouldn't start usb devices as root and the changing of some /dev/... permissions)
- XDM could have some restart and shutdown buttons (howto link will follow).
the sudoers file should be more look like a common linux one - for a simple use of the sudo command:
Defaults targetpw
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
%users ALL=(ALL) ALL
%users ALL = NOPASSWD:/opt/xfce/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper
...
Energy saving support in the dynebolic kernel.
