User Feedback :: DSL 0.8.0 issues



R.S.
- Boot into a Linux system, or 'toram' with one of your good CDs.  Then put your copy of 0.8 into the computer's CD.  

- grab the script above save it as 'rawread.sh'
- make the script executable, 'chmmod +x rawread.sh'
- then run the script like this... './rawread.sh  /dev/cdrom | md5sum'

If the md5sum is '0794134f05c78903e1ac2de573e2d421' then the CD is good and we have an issue with your computer and 0.8, if it is a different md5sum number then you most likely have a bad burn.

Or from your menu, choose
Apps > Tools > Enable Apt


Ummm, no mouse means no menu right?

Tried it on a different computer, this time the usb mouse worked after reboot to hd install.

boot in mode 2 and sudo dpkg-restore
John, tried the script, couldn't get it to work.  I get a bad interpreter error, no such file or directory, I tried several ways of doing it.
For some reason I can't access /dev/cdrom.  As a normal user it says permission denied, as root it says that it is not a directory?
And when I go to /mnt/cdrom under emelfm, it seems to redirect to cdrom2?

tried running the script with all possible combos, /dev/cdrom, /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/cdrom2...

Also, are the "<script>" & "</script>" bits supposed to be included?  I didn't think so, but I also tried with and without, with giving errors about unrecognised commands.

Just in case, I also installed dsl-dpkg and gnu-utils, but it didn't make any difference.

Booted from 7.3 toram

It seemed to give and md5 figure, starting with a "d", but I don't think this had anything to do with the CD, it spat out the same figure no matter what CD was in the drive or what errors the script was giving.
John, tried 0.8.0 on another machine today, worked fine.  So there appears to be a conflict with the X system and my machine - which is reasonably standard mid-level specs nowadays, FX5200 graphics, XP2400 processor, nForce2 motherboard.
Have there been any changes to X that you know of?  All of the previous versions worked fine with my systems.

If there are issues with the new knoppix system, is it possible to make the new non-knoppix sections of .8 (eg changed scripts etc) available as extensions for .7.3?  So if people can't use .8, they can at least update the DSL-specific scripts etc?
