[TESTERS WANTED] Slint installers for Slackware 14.1 => LAST CALL
Hi there,
We need volunteers to test slint installers for Slackware-14.1 and Slackware64-14.1, especially the 64 bit version on real UEFI machines. Both ISO images can be burnt either on a CD or an USB stick. Instructions to make the bootable media under Linux and Windows are provided in the README files in the same directories. Meanwhile, reviewing of some translations (e.g. in German, just completed) is still in process, so there probably remain typos, but main aim of requested tests is spotting possible remaining issues in booting and installation instead. Please report outcome in this thread. Thanks in advance to all participants. |
Both the sections of the README, on both http://slint.fr/testing/installers/slint-14.1/README and http://slint.fr/testing/installers/slint64-14.1/README, are headed "MAKING A BOOT MEDIA ON lINUX" (small L LINUX?).
The second section should be headed ""MAKING A BOOT MEDIA ON M$ wINDOWS" or similar. |

A typo in syslinux.cfg prevented to launch the 64 bit installer in "no KMS" (nomodeset) mode in other languages than English.
A fixed installer has been uploaded. Thanks to Serg Bormant. |

Please continue testing while we prepare official introduction of slint for Slackware 14.1, and spread the word.
As the saying goes "more bugs fixed, less bugs to fix" ;) |
Didier, I've just created a topic in the forum of a big brazilian Linux community (http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/) asking for testers.

SPACE/ENTER/DOWN/UP do not function as described in "little help on help".
How to use '/ - Forward search', '? - Backward search', 'n - Repeat last search (forward)'? |
Hi cnv, welcome to LQ and thanks for your remark.

As for me if we stick to "dialog --msgbox" we should modify the English text and adopt translation.
If we revert to "dialog --textbox" '/', '?', 'n' still doesn't help in Russian because keyboard switching in installer doesn't work at all and user cannot type search key in Russian. |
So, we will adapt the English text. This will be done tomorrow, then we'll leave some time to update translations.
Other topic, I just uploaded updated installers for Slackware 14.1:

I just uploaded updated installers in http://slint.fr/testing/installers
Changes in English text are made in help files for setup and pxesetup. I will wait till all complete translations be updated (that's done for Russian), then make the official release. |
Slint 14.1 is released so I mark this thread as solved.
