(11/03/13 15:04:05) Akuna: I tested in a VM (no time this evening for better)
(11/03/13 15:04:06) Akuna: and...
(11/03/13 15:06:04) Akuna: question to JRD, if you choose the wrong option how do you come back to the previous page?
(11/03/13 15:05:34) Akuna: the grub menu is slow
(11/03/13 15:07:13) Akuna: otherwise, very pretty menu

(15:52:26) mimosa_: My experience was less happy:
(15:53:16) mimosa_: slow menus too (and no way to get out of hardware detection, which looks like a handy tool btw)
(15:53:58) mimosa_: If I selected a non-US keyboard, thre was a long pause while it was loaded but US was loaded anyway
(15:54:26) mimosa_: I deduce that the boot process was looking for keyboard layouts and couldn't find any
(15:55:25) mimosa_: Then under System V scripts (the second time, after init 4), /usr/lib/python_x.y.x/site.py crashed
(15:55:45) mimosa_: Line 159

(15:56:25) mimosa_: Then the process hung after "Starting SALT configuration"
(15:56:39) mimosa_: I left it a good ten minutes
(15:57:56) mimosa_: Perhaps there is a boot option I should be using
(15:58:16) mimosa_: But that isn't the case with Salix Live 13.37


(16:21:18) Akuna: mimosa_: it looks like there are some bugs with certain languages in grub2
(16:21:36) mimosa_: I also tried leaving everything US
(16:21:41) mimosa_: No good either
(16:21:44) Akuna: I chose French / Africa / Abidjan
(16:21:48) Akuna: and I was good
(16:21:54) Akuna: install and lilosetup ok
(16:21:56) mimosa_: I should rty that
(16:22:00) mimosa_: *try
(16:22:08) mimosa_: WHat keyboard layout?
(16:22:17) Akuna: lilosetup is not in French though
(16:22:58) mimosa_: Some things were not in Portuguese for me when I chose that locale
(16:23:20) mimosa_: The correct keyboard was selected automatically
(16:23:35) mimosa_: But it still didn't work in the actual boot
(16:23:44) Akuna: Reboot did not eject the LiveCD
(16:23:48) mimosa_: No
(16:24:02) mimosa_: I had to use a paperclip to remove it
(16:24:15) Akuna: but halt did eject
(16:24:35) Akuna: I men stop or whatever the choic is
(16:24:44) mimosa_: Mind you I forgot to mention the shutdown hung on "unloading" the third or fourth module
(16:24:44) Akuna: *choice is
(16:25:13) mimosa_: Will JRD see all this when he comes back?
(16:25:35) mimosa_: French/ Africa/ Abidjan / French keyboard?
(16:26:38) Akuna: yes
(16:27:01) Akuna: We can do a copy paste for him(16:41:00) salix


(16:41:41) mimosa_: Selecting Africa produced several error messages including "out of memory"

(17:47:18) akuna: mimosa_: the installer got the uuid wrong in fstab
(17:47:28) akuna: (i passed it on to JRD)
(17:50:27) akuna: restarting
(17:50:28) akuna: ;)
(17:50:31) akuna left the room.
(18:08:29) akuna entered the room.
(18:09:24) akuna: ok once fstab is corrected all seems well
(18:10:11) akuna: i'm speaking to you from salix installed with the new live installer

(18:45:58) akuna: in fact it added uuid sequence instead of the formating type 
(18:46:29) akuna: so a simple string to filter better in the installer
