Welcome to the forum watsoccurring!

I've confirmed that they don't match in my grive folder before upload, even though the two files' creation dates show the same time. Since I don't know what caused this, and to be safe, I made a new ISO and checked the md5sum several times after each move, and am uploading it now.

Thank you lucky9.

Thanks for the explaination, the results of which I enjoy also the dialogue with other board members as to how you achieve change.

OK, new snapshot (until it gets into repo): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxE7wb ... sp=sharing

md5sum: bf0981bce41261bc517e2e40e77979ea

Looking good, Stevo. Downloaded and md5sum matches.

There's some odd bug in KDE that was troubling me, but I confirmed it was also present in MEPIS 12's KDE running in a VM, in that our distro .iso files are seen as text files, so if you accidently click on them, kwrite will start to open them. That'll slow down the system considerably, and possibly eat up all free RAM.

Other DVD type .iso files in the same directory are correctly identified as "CD raw image files", so I'm stumped. Maybe some web searching...

Oh yeah, a known issue with isohybrid files: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=122445

Hmmm--extracting the attached file and putting it into /usr/share/mime/packages, then running as superuser:

Code: Select all

update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

fixed it for new instances of Dolphin. I'll have to add that to the next respin.

Yes, that has been bugging me for a long time. I am trying to recall if just changing the extension to .iso fixes the issue. i do not currently have an iso to try it on.

It doesn't work for our iso files.

Further down in the thread, there's a single line I can change in the shared-mime-info package that is supposed to fix that, so I'm going to try to push that to the repo.

Yes, that fixed it. And that'll fix it for everyone.

I asked Tim to put it in the main repo.
