RC2 feedback

[TenderFoot]

Jerry - thanks, but isn't that a response to # 333357 in http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtop ... 63#p333357 ?

[Jerry3904]

Yup, wrong spot.

[uncle mark]

Just another data point, running RC2 installed on this new-to-me Acer. Haven't put it through its paces yet, but the install was flawless, wireless connectivity carried over from the live disk to the install, and the thing is damn quick.

Impressive. While it will take me a bit to "make it my own", this is one fine piece of work.

It seems that the .asoundrc file can also accept this simpler syntax now (what I use to set my analog sound Card 1 as the default card instead of my HDMI card 0)

defaults.ctl.card 1

I want to translate MX 14RC2 to tatar and russian language .Also antix.mepis. What is my first step?

You should create an account at transifex and then start translating the Russian.

Most of the resources are not part of MX so don't start picking things at random to translate. This thread is for MX translations and suggest which things to translate first. It is in the translations sub-forum.

Warning! the final release is planned in just a few days so you only have a couple of days left to make translations that will be part of the MX-14 release. My guess is that the highest priority would be the installer: mx-minstall_en.ts. Jerry or antiC probably have a better idea of what is most important.

I have a Compaq nx6325 laptop that has an internal wireless adapter that I have used without any issues with AntiX 13.2 other than having to use ceni to activate the wireless interface upon initial setup.

I have installed MX-14 RC2 and can't seem to get the wireless interface operational. I have tried to install ceni as well as wicd to see if either one will help resolve the issue but it is not helping.

I have seen other post in the forum regarding MX-14 wifi but did not see any resolutions that appeared to help here.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

[BitJam]

Does the adapter show up in the output of either "lspci -k" or "lsusb"? If so, post it here. Identifying the device is usually the first step. Then I Google around to find out how other people got it to work and then try to figure out how to make that happen in MX. Once you identify the device, people here can help with the other steps.

[shempshere]

BitJam,

Thanks for the input / suggestions.

Here is the output from the lspci -k command incuding the output from both antiX 13.2 as well as MX-14 RC2.

Note: It appears that the controller is known to MX-14 but for some reason I can't turn on the radio as I was able to do with ceni in antiX 13.2

Oh yeah.. before I forget.. now I don't have the old ones anymore to test, but I seem to remember (just hit me with a fish when I am wrong) that after the system boots and you get to the login screen there was the opportunity to reboot from there, not just shut down.

Did that option go away or am I seeing ghosts?
