That's good, I don't have a full install so I guess that's where I fall down.

/etc/termcap could do with an entry for 'screen' so that old termcap based programs like elvis will work under tmux.
To save going hunting for one, I auto generated one from the terminfo db with:
Code:
infocmp screen | infotocap - >>/etc/termcap
and that seems to have fixed elvis. I don't know if there's a better definition out there to use though.

edit: Ahh, nevermind. I'd forgotten about /etc/termcap-BSD and that has some screen entries so I'll just use that.

Might be worth adding the 'screen' def to the minimal /etc/termcap though, just to make life easy for people.

Cool, just discovered that it also fixes the ^L in bash under tmux which also wasn't working and annoying the hell out of me. Wasn't expecting that as I'd assumed that bash would have been using the more modern terminfo, but apparently not.

memtest is upgraded in 14.1 RC. It doesn't boot on any of my hardware

From today's changelog:
Thu Oct 17 05:21:47 UTC 2013
isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt.
kernels/memtest/memtest: Upgraded.
Upgraded to memtest86+-5.01.
I mostly have Gigabyte motherboards, but I also tested on a Lenovo x131e laptop. The standard memtest screen never appears and it cycles to another hard boot. The previous version (memtest-86+ 4.2 boots fine on the same hardware.

No idea if it was mentioned, but regarding the CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT file:
rfkill is listed as added, though it was part of 14.0 already, wasn't it?
And mplayerthumbs is missing from the list, as far as I can see.

/boot/README.initrd

Contains:
Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-3.9.5
  initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
  root = /dev/sda6
  label = 395
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
A lilo entry that uses an initrd shouldn't contain a 'root=' line as the rootfs is specified by the -r option of the mkinitrd. I have a vague recollection of this causing some issues for people running current around the time that the lilo version was bumped, but I can't remember exactly what it was. IMO best to remove it from the example so as to avoid any chance of confusion.

Found the problem to be with the Nvidia driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.60.run seems there is a problem with it and xllgrab.
keep you updated as 14.1 rc evolves

Hmmm. I'm using that NVIDIA driver too. I wonder if that's the source of my problems with the file manager dialogs in LibreOffice 4.1.2.3.

Maybe it's bug, no fonts in xterm, with the xinit command, without .xinitrc , none have this issue ?

tested the new xterm-297, but same problem.

xterm started by an xinit command with no ~/.xinitrc seems to work fine here -- though I really wouldn't recommend using it that way. 'startx' is much better.
