Ah! My thanks to both of you :)

The information on hibernation in the updated manual (p.31) doesn't apply to KDE as there it is enabled, as can be seen in the picture on p.30. And hibernation doesn't seem to work out of the box. I mentioned this issue in the beta2 thread btw

So Far RC1 is working well on my Laptop. I have to agree with some here Moun is not my favorite tool much perfer synaptic , but that being said couuld be just because I'm use to it.

I have been following the development of this release and like what I am seeing! I actually started using Linux full time with Simply Mepis many years ago. RC 1 is looking far better than any Mepis release I can remember. The out of the box tools and documentation are outstanding! I see a lot of attention to detail. Looking forward to the final release.

Blasphemer!!!

I was very impressed with the tool that fixed screen tearing. Most distros would simply call it an upstream issue and leave it to the end user to try and fix. The fact that the developers actually took the time to include a simple way to fix this says a lot! I wish more distros used this measure of quality and took ownership of these kinds of problems. Very nice work!

Renaming/removing the file and then

Code: Select all

mkhomedir_helper username

fixes the problem.

I thought I fixed that bug. Can you post the /var/log/minstall.log please

Some of these youngsters don't know that Warren Woodford was worshipped by Mepis users (including me).

My favourite version was the one with kde3 - never liked kde4.

Warren Wooford made Linux easy to install and the installer was reliable!

Here is the file.
It looks like a copy command created a file because it is missing the trailing slash.
