MX-14 beta 2

[Jerry3904]

Most people seem to find its best use is to assign an alias (MX-14 working) or change order of listing

A couple of quick comments:


4. flash problems (mentioned earlier) - click-to-flash prevents the flash windows on youtube from working correctly.

Well, I don't know what's different, but now a fresh install of beta 2 and click-to-flash is working fine.

Same here, I wonder what the diff is?

I downloaded the Beta 2 and varified the md5. Could not get it to burn onto my Maxell cd's. Had to utilize a Ridata dvd to burn it onto. Live worked okay, except for the time being off 1 hour. I rechecked my BIOS clock to make sure my time was correct, and then began an install on my JUNKBOX. After install the time was off exactly 1 hour.

After a reboot, I rechecked my BIOS time (it was off 1 hour) and tried out MX-14 Beta 2 that I installed. Again the time was off 1 hour. I have been unable to correct this from within the desktop applications. The system was shut down, coin battery was replaced, BIOS was rechecked (time was rechecked), and then rebooted to go into the beta. Time AGAIN was off 1 hour (Eastern time instead of Central time).

After rebooting I checked my BIOS. I'm not sure if 1)- my motherboard / BIOS chip is going flakey and changing the time on its own, OR 2)- the os is screwing with the time in BIOS somehow (?). I suspect the BIOS is getting flakey. I HATE unsoldering chips and replacing them on a motherboard. :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: But at least this is only a single layer board.

I have had the same complaints of centi working then not working, flash headaches. But all in all this beta works good to excellent. Now to get rid of the bugs.

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Maybe I missed something but you DID set up the timezone and such in the settings?

Make sure BIOS time is correct. On the installation, setup the time to not use UTC. After installation use kdesu systemsettings on a Command Line to set the time zone. Or do what um said.

[Jerry3904]

Kdesu in MX-14?

[richb]

for that matter systemsettings in MX-14?

Kdesu in MX-14?

Why? We don't have any KDE.
