Re: M12 11.9.92

#241 Post by tascoast »

Well, out of interest, in both M11 and xp under VirtualBox, I get a live cd screen and options per usual using the latest M12 Beta live DVD *.iso (SimplyMEPIS-1.5G_11.9.92_32.iso) but are then informed that:

This kernel requires the following features not present on your CPU:
pae
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU

I'm not desperate to get it running and just awaiting M12 generally, so will check that I did in fact download the correct 31 bit beta version and all that, so just noting this apparent glitch for reference since I expected VirtualBox at least to be tolerant enough and virtualise hardware besides.

kindly

In System>Processor, tick the PAE box. This is found in the VM VirtualBox Manager.

Worked a treat thanks. I encountered another glitch in install where the partitioning and preparation of the drive fails and reverts to the previous screen for some reason, possibly a VB related issue?

New updates today!

Commit Log for Mon Jan 20 06:37:43 2014


Upgraded the following packages:
google-chrome-stable (31.0.1650.63-1) to 32.0.1700.77-1
lintian (2.5.20~bpo70+1) to 2.5.21~bpo70+1

Installed the following packages:
libavcodec54 (6:9.10-1~bpo70+1)
libavformat54 (6:9.10-1~bpo70+1)
libavutil52 (6:9.10-1~bpo70+1)
libchromaprint0 (1.1-1~bpo70+1)
libfreerdp1 (1.0.1-1.1+deb7u2)
libgnutls28 (3.2.8.1-2~bpo70+1)
libhogweed2 (2.7.1-1~bpo70+1)
libproxy-tools (0.3.1-6)
libtasn1-6 (3.4-2~bpo70+1)

Synaptic still shows there are three updates. updating, there is no more updates to install...

Synaptic error, or something not right with my repositories? This is a vanilla flavor except the addition of Google Chrome web browser.

Looking in Synaptic screen there is a classification: installed (upgradable) something i have never noticed before.

It lists:
libvic5 version 2.0.3.5 latest version 2.1.2-2-bpo70+1
Vlc Version 2.0.3-5 Latest version 2.1.2.2-bpo70+1
Vlc-nox Version 2.0.3.5 Latest version 2.1.2.2-bpo70+1

but this does not show up when I mark Upgrades, what am I doing wrong?

Not sure. Have you tried other options i.e. use full drive.

You need to fire up GParted and put a partition table on the VBox drive first,
and that is a fault with the Mepis installer, not VBox
Desktop.

]I just upgraded and those three vlc packages were "left over" and when I try to mark them for upgrade I get the red mark indicating removal. They are marked as upgradeable, but can't be upgraded.

The "bpo70+1" in the version number means the upgrades are backports, you might need to temporarily set the prefered distro to wheezy-backports to get the upgrades to go thru.

The package vlc-data is currently one rev back in bpo. In the next few days it should sync up and then everything will install.

Wheezy-backports is missing the vlc-data package that should have been created with the others--there's no bpo vlc-data at all, and that's holding up the other upgrades. It's been three days, I'm going to see if anyone filed a bug report about that.

It may also uninstall phonon-backend-vlc, even the CR version, for no good reason. but it should be able to be reinstalled afterwards.
