in the errata is written that you should use virtualbox version 4.x and with that version everything works fine.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 9:34 PM, Maarten Vanraes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:maarten.vanraes@gmail.com">maarten.vanraes@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">These are my own very conchise first impressions:<br>
<br>
overall, i'm very impressed with what i see. i thought it'd be worse.<br>
<br>
<br>
- no rescue (as expected, even though the option is listed)<br>
- when looking at the grub/gfxboot menu?, the text only shows 1 or 2 seconds<br>
after the background<br>
- in installation, the backgrounds aren't anti-aliased (font also looks abit<br>
odd; allthough it could be the vbox)<br>
- diskdrake still has a star icon(also wrong scaled) when saying "use free<br>
space"<br>
- do we need a license agreement? can we not skip this?<br>
- ext4 by default<br>
- no btrfs? (except in advanced setup)<br>
- core media<br>
This screen was never clear to me, and i never selected it, however, perhaps<br>
for iso installation, a mirror repository should be automatically there and<br>
selected by default? so that if there's updates, they can already be used<br>
during installation... ? WDYT?<br>
- i selected HTTP and it installed a few packages so i could enable networking<br>
(2min)<br>
- the partition step kept being highlighted, even when i was configuring<br>
network...<br>
- <a href="http://distrib-" target="_blank">http://distrib-</a><br>
<a href="http://coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64" target="_blank">coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64</a> didn't seem to<br>
work when configuring additional media<br>
- KDE choice (very funny artwork :-D )<br>
- installing (5min)<br>
- when configuring, wizard said my password was trivial to guess, even though i<br>
had letter and digits in it with total length 8<br>
- updating after install<br>
- when updating, the messages had tiny fonts suddenly.<br>
- rebooting system<br>
- booting looked fine, nice gfxboot screen (this did not have the 1 a 2 second<br>
delay)<br>
- i do notice F1 F2 F3 but no visible text next to it...?<br>
- because of me having vbox3, the guest machine just crashed when X was<br>
appearing.<br>
- restarting (using safe mode this time), that worked fine into single user<br>
mode<br>
- init 3 (gave some warnings but looked ok generally)<br>
- messages about gpg-agent being started...<br>
- "su -" has the same message<br>
- non-free was enabled by default<br>
- i enabled tainted<br>
- perhaps the iso media should be removed after installation and when updated<br>
media are installed? it keeps requesting for the DVD...<br>
- vim didn't show a color scheme for /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg .<br>
- trying to update with urpmi --auto-select showed me that i had an orphaned<br>
package ? kernel-desktop-devel ? odd...<br>
- i noticed sshd wasn't installed by default, neither was bash-completion<br>
- trying init 5 didn't work<br>
- i removed x11-driver-video-vboxvideo<br>
- init 5 said that display manager didn't work<br>
- vbox3 didn't seem to have a way to use a different emulated driver...<br>
<br>
<br>
I don't really want to upgrade to vbox4, in fear of destroying my other<br>
virtual machines, so compatibility would be very nice...<br>
<br>
<br>
logs vbox3 guest: (vbox3 is still in 2010.2, so perhaps we should have vbox3<br>
compatibility?)<br>
