Description David Abbott (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-27 00:38:10 UTC
The Gentoo Ten LiveDVD Team wants to thank you for Testing. There will be two
arches supported, x86 and amd64. We would have liked to support all arches,
but we did not have the time for this release. 

If you feel the bug you are reporting is unrelated to the DVD, you can report
the bug in the normal fashion, please add this bug as a blocker when you are
reporting it so we can track packages that may need to be removed. We want the
release to be the best that we can put out so we may remove packages that are
not working.


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Nikos Chantziaras 2009-09-28 06:31:04 UTC
First thing I noticed with this, is that Gtk apps look like crap :P

Please, if possible, have something like x11-themes/gtk-engines-qtcurve on the DVD.
Comment 2 Roman v. Gemmeren 2009-09-28 10:33:42 UTC
hi,

new livedvd good idea!
Here are the things i noticed on first test:
1. nfsmount wouldn't start as rpcd.statd could not start -> probably remove nfsmount from bootup?
2. nepomuk/strigi could be removed from the kde-startup in /usr/share/autostart/, as an indexing on the livedvd is not really needed, and it probably slows down the kde-startup.
3. Kdevelop would crash instantly (but probably not a direct problem of the dvd)
4. The "Internet" Menu in KDE directly filled my whole screen... this could probably be split up in "Filesharing" "Browser" etc...

Thanks for your suggestions, I will look into your request for next iso which should be coming later today.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean with "compatible." gtk-engines-qtcurve is a Gtk style, used by Gtk apps (like Firefox, Gimp, etc.)  In its default settings, it looks somewhat similar to KDE's Oxygen style, which is the reason I recommend it for running Gtk apps in a KDE 4 desktop.

Anyway, *any* style is better than the gruesome default (which results in Gtk apps looking like Windows 3.11...)

Examples:

Firefox without any Gtk style engine:

   http://i34.tinypic.com/aowev9.png

Firefox after installing gtk-engines-qtcurve:

   http://i38.tinypic.com/s2qool.png

I think the improvement is obvious.  Non-default Gtk styles are used in every live CD/DVD I know of.

Two things are needed to be installed:

  a) x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt
  b) x11-themes/gtk-engines-qtcurve

a) will allow you to select styles for Gtk from withing KDE 4's SystemSettings:

  http://www.eternal-sun.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/settings.jpg

b) is simply the Gtk style that most closely resembles Oxygen.  After it is installed, it can be selected in SystemSettings in the new setting provided by a).

Hope this helps.

RDEPEND="${COMMONDEPEND}
        || ( kde-base/kdebase-data:3.5 kde-base/kdebase:3.5 )"
need-kde 3.5

Thanks for the explaining on how to set it up.



Looks like it will try to pull in kde-3.5. I will talk to the kde herd about getting this updated for kde4.

Comment 6 Alex Busenius 2009-09-28 12:44:10 UTC
I couldn't get the LiveDVD to work at all (x86-x86_64-10.0-20090926-1952), I tried both gentoo and gentoo64 kernels. There are two problems: my keyboard does not work and the X server hangs during start.

The keyboard does not work neither during the layout selection, nor afterwards. And since the X server seem to hang (black screen until reboot) I can not even see whether there are some error messages on another VT.

My machine is: AMD Athlon64 3500+, VIA K8T800, nVidia GeForce 6200, MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 USB


Should I better report a new bug for this? The problem is definitely related to the DVD, but I don't feel comfortable posting all sorts of hardware specs and logs into the tracker bug...
Comment 7 Alex Busenius 2009-09-28 14:49:01 UTC
Update

After some experiments I found out that the keyboard starts working after unplugging it and plugging it back again, so I was able to save the logs.
The X server starts fine with "noacpi" (and AFAIK, previous gentoo live CD/DVD worked fine also with ACPI).

However, I couldn't switch vt even with working keyboard while X hangs. The rest of the system seems to continue working normally, since I can e.g. shutdown it properly using power button.

Anybody have an idea how to mount the hard disk and save the X log in this situation?

It is already updated to KDE4 and I've been using it for a long time:

x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt-1.1-r2

Only older versions are KDE3 (0.8x).  Or, in other words, slot 2 of that package is KDE3, slot 1 is KDE4.  So for KDE4, you need gtk-engines-qt:1.
Comment 9 Peter Robb 2009-09-28 21:38:47 UTC
I also got the X freeze when booting into a mac mini.. 

In a cli boot (gentoo softlevel=boot) there was no "installer".

In cli, startx failed with libglx.so not found, and module i810 not found.

Regards,
Peter

ok keep an eye out for it on next iso.
Comment 11 David Abbott (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-28 22:33:58 UTC
Hi Peter,
    Are you sure you are using livedvd-amd64-10.0-20090926-1952.iso or
    livedvd-x86-x86_64-10.0-20090926-1952.iso.

    You should not see i810 with the latest testing iso

the livedvd has been testing with several nvidia cards and I don't see why X is not working with your specific card. Can you test it from a usb stick or hard drive?

zero byte xorg.conf, xorg.conf.in not working

NVidia MCP73 mobo / GeForce 7050 video.

The xorg.conf generated by the livecd is 0 bytes and Xorg starts with a blank screen.
The xorf.conf.in is not working either, I generated a new xorg.conf with Xorg -configure and replaced the driver with 'vesa' to get Xorg started properly.

Attached the generated confs from the livecd.

Couldn't figure out what to do next, wpa_supplicant seems available.

You might to ask at forums.gentoo.org about connectivity support, this bug is for issues with livedvd applications.

My little testing results:
Bugs:
*terminal (root) asks for root password and root/root do not work.
*sudo dolphin in ntfs was bad idea and ended in crash (I know upstream bug, but still...)

Feature request:
*hdd auto-mount and place folder on desktop.

to gain root access you need to run "sudo su" as root's password is scrambled on boot.
Not sure about sudo dolphin, to bad it crashed on you. can you post link to upstream bug?

Hello of people, 
the Live DVD bootet up to the start of the diagram maps and then is nothing more, the monitor remains black. 

The DVD was tried 2x burned 2x to download and on 2 systems, sees:

There another user with a 6 series nvidia card having issues too, but you are the first I see with a radeon 9 series card. We had both nvidia and ati cards booted just find and it could just be your specific series but I will have to get more results from others with similar cards. If you can manage to get the xorg.conf working on your own attach it to this bug for reference. thanks.

Xorg.log - X hangs with geforce 6200 and ACPI enabled

I was able to save the logs during X hang. I have skipped xdm start using interactive boot and started it later.
It seems that KDM kills X server because it is not responding, but I don't see anything suspicious in the X log.

Could you try with the xorg.conf I have attached. Here are the steps I have used that worked but not on your card so I am just curious.
boot with gentoo nox
add the xorg.conf to /etc/X11/
/etc/init.d/xdm start
Comment 23 John D Maunder 2009-09-30 21:27:29 UTC
Black screen of death at startx. When starting kdm or startx get the infamous black screen lock with flashing cursor in top left. Machine is unresponsive other than to reboot. This is due to radeon 4850 video card (I believe). Can boot using "gentoo nox" and command line works as expected but get freeze at startx.

Have also tested this on laptop with nvidia Geforce 6600 video card and startx works as expected.

Impressed (but where is the installer?)

I think the wifi driver is proprietary - I had to get it using the wired network on openSUSE 11.1. But the wired driver is there after an openSUSE install.

Thanks for testing on nvidia 6 series as some users are reporting issues with it. 

P.S there no installer anymore, use the handbook ;)

Ah ... I've been away from Gentoo nearly a year. I tried it on my 512 MB Compaq Presario and it was totally non-functional for lack of RAM. I may just install Gentoo from the installer on that machine - that way I can get a lightweight desktop. I'm doing some audio stuff on that machine and openSUSE is also struggling with the low RAM.

Try the minimal install cd instead with a low ram machine.

Hi,

I'm using Late 2008 Aluminum Macbook, first I booted the dvd without providing any boot options and i got an empty screen where i'm supposed to see kde startup screen. 

To diagnose it, i provided "nox" option, boot completed successfully but it didn't recognize my keyboard so i was unable to type anything.

Then i tried to use "doload=applesmc,usbhid" but it didn't help either. 

I had this problem with minimal installation images before when i boot with "nodetect" option.

x-setup not needed

I believe x-setup was included at some point when they were using proprietary graphics drivers. We are only using  xorg-x11 opengl
To test I booted with nox
then checked opengl
eselect opengl list
xorg-x11 was set
then ran /etc/init.d/xdm start
X started fine

On the released amd64 iso livedvd-amd64-multilib-10.0.iso there is no sound because none of the snd-* modules can be loaded "invalid module format"

I am working on a new iso that supports a few things like wacom tables and more kernel drivers plus it's compressed with lzma, lets see if we can push this, because I didn't have enough time to QA final release.

It didn't help.


Btw., the new livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-10.0 is even worse, X server still hangs but additionally it does not recognize my USB devices at all.

I have a 64 bit system with a nvidia card I boot with livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-10.0 with gentoo64-nofb and it worked fine here.

There is a problem with that iso and it will be updated, can you try livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-10.0.iso and boot with gentoo64-nofb and let me know if it is any better.

Confirm +1 on the module_layout version issue on livedvd-amd-64-multilib-10.0.iso 
  
  Lenovo T400 4Gbram/2Core2duo/intel(internal video) - grabbing 64-32ul iso to try that one.  
   
  Question -- I can see precisely where the issue lies - if I can rebuild the initrd correctly do you want the resulting iso somewhere you can grab it?

  I might have time to beat on it tonight between work change controls and WoW time.

Hi,
on the new iso when USB flash disk is inserted HAL cannot mount it automatically because of missing /media directory... after manually creating empty /media directory flash disk can be mounted as expected.
Also I'm missing firmware for my Intel 5100 Wifi adapter... missing file can be downloaded here: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.24.2.12.tgz
after copying to /lib/firmware my Wifi on SONY VAIO FW41E/H works.

I downloaded and burned 10.1 today. Like with the minimal CD, my Apple A1242 keyboard doesn't work. But I can unplug/replug it to get it going, except none of the function keys work.

It also fails to startX. The XOrg log error is "ignoring unsupported device 0x10de0861" which is my mac mini's nVidia GeForce 9400.

I have a similar problem, my Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard (and mouse) 1.1 does not work, I have to unplug the usb receptor and then plug it again, so it does work. That's the only problem I've run into with amd64 build.
