Black screen with blinking curser for over a minute, then some error messages about logitech mouse rules, total black screen for over a couple of minutes, then a box stating that it would have to run in low graphics mode Shocked , then black screen for a LONG time...

I have to get to work, can't play or work on this now.

I tried the DVD on one of my computers at work...

Still a NO GO Sad

I don't know if it's a bad download (doubt it because of checksum and file size), bad burn (doubt it because I have burned tons of iso's with K3B on my Mepis box with nary a problem), or hardware incompatibility... Again, I doubt that because Ubuntu, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, KlikIt, and several others work well on the boxes...

I guess I will wait for the movie Wink Laughing Laughing

Thanks Ken. I'll now leave it for tomorrow's early hours here. I will now return to CSI. Thanks again I just could not find that post for looking.

harvey, try running this command:

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

and then restart your x server. i still don't quite see what the problem is, though. a black screen? is that it?

Installed and some customizing done.

First problem - I have found with past OS's that I need the nvidia driver. I tried to install but configure is faded out in moniter settings. The resolution of my monitor (1680x1050) is picked up with no problem. but I do not get smooth movement. I had no problems with Hardy version when the Nvidia driver was installed. When trying to install the driver I get the message go to X11 config file and change it. I can not find a config file in etc/X11/ unlike usual. How do I instal Nvidia please?

Second problem - I choose my favourite screensaver GL Euphoria and it does not load. The little screen goes black and test does not work. I have just thought - Perhaps Gnome savers is not installed. I will check as I think the GL savers are Gnome but run on KDE.

Do this after a clean install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

THen run restricted-manager; it will recommend an nvidia driver for you go with recommended, then it will fetch the files from internet and you will have to reboot. That should solve your problem as well as the gl screensaver since you will now have actual opengl and 3d.

I truly don't have the time to mess with this. I guess I could try to go to a command prompt at boot, but I really don't think that it would work anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion though. Like I said, Ubuntu, Mepis, PCLinuxOS, Fedora (both the Gnome version and the KDE version), KlikIt, SuSE, and various other distros have no problems running on my boxes. I can wait for the next release, I am in no real hurry.

Hi Ray,

I'm disappointed too. Good news, I now have a new ISP and am on a scheme with unlimited data allowance, starting yesterday, so overnight and this morning I downloaded both files on offer at RAComputers. I will post the .zsync files for both shortly, along with instructions how to use.

I can't find an md5sum for phoenixos010610.iso to verify that download. Anyone have it?

Sorry I have not had the time to do the .zync but here is the md5sum:

Thanks, Ray, no worries, I know that you are under a lot of pressure.

4b3868f958384750855d8db34f47055d phoenixos010610.iso is the md5sum I was after, thanks. File verifies OK.

I have posted the .zsync file for FlameHawk, now I'll do the same for Mini-Laptop Hawk and post back.

I have posted the .zsync file for Mini-Laptop Hawk also, now. Maybe no one is interested in the older file but just in case ...

See : --

Paul,

Thanks for the zsync file. I used my second Flamehawk download which didn't work as the base.

Using zsync my file was 99.9% complete and the download data was 1,314,794 bytes and took about 10 secs. A little different from the normal 1.4GB.

The resulting iso verified the checksums were the same, running as a live dvd was not as good as I'd expected.

First boot, very slow with a few error messages and long pauses on a black screen, finally ending with a kdesktop protocol crashed unexpectedly freezing the machine.

Second boot, as per First boot except this time the boot finished at the normal desktop, albeit very slowly. Didn't appear to be much different from the Phoenixmini, probably a few more programs installed. I'll check out my Vmware Phoenix and see what the variations are.

These boots were on a a 2.9Gz dual core machine with 2GB ram so I expected a bit more performance than I got.

I'll probably install and see how it goes.

I did as you advised and was asked to reboot, This took me into low graphics mode. It stated that I had to reconfigure manually as configuration did not match hardware. I tried the automatic option - no joy and I pressed investigate error. The config file was listed and I selected. It had very little info - Screen and Driver sections only. I came out and went back into the hardy version and looked at the xorg.conf file, which had much more info as normal with the keyboard etc. It also had the Moniter Section with all the modelines. Should the Karma have a similar file and do I have to type it all in and if so what? I dont mind.

Have been trying everything I can think of to get a working config file but have failed. I am glad the hard install through the live disc does not take long. I have lost count now.

As I have said, I carried out the instructions and found that I had to configure to nvidia and configure (kde tools) my monitor to get any sort of xorg.conf file in the /etc/X11 file. I have found it difficult to edit that file although I was in root I was not allowed, but I did find ways but to no effect. When I log out and restart the xserver or reboot I get the message Ubuntu in low graphics mode and then the error message - (EE) pasing of the config file
(EE) error with the pasing of the configuration file.

I find the latest Phoenix more stable than the Hardy version. This may be because I do not have the desktop effects yet, Except for the driver problem I am happy though I wish to get rid of some facilities. That is not the fault of the OS but I find that Firefox for instance is over engineered or bloated if that is the right term.

Can any one help. I have compared basics between Hardy and Karmic and Karmic appears different from what I am used to with the spires, mepis debian etc. I am probably just being blind as usual.

I have made some bug fixes so I will be taking down the iso shortly and put the new one, then I will resume work on final.

You're welcome. I think the reason the DVD might not have loaded on my "rack Box" is due to the fact that I have a Plextor CD-RW as primary and the DVD-Rom as the secondary on IDE 1. IDE 0 has the hard drive rack system.

I have experienced this before with a few other distros. However, the great majority of the distros out there seem to not care that the booting DVD is not on the primary channel of IDE 1. Those include Ubuntu, Fedora (both KDE and Gnome versions) and PCLinuxOS. Just a possible reason.

Harvey

PS... Looking forward to your new version...hopefully it will run on my rack system.

Pretty please, can you upload a .zsync file for the updated ISO at the same time?

Code:
zsyncmake phoenixos031910.iso -u phoenixos031910.iso

That's all it takes, then upload the resulting file [about 0.2% of ISO file in size] to the same directory as the ISO file.

Refresh my memory again how this works. Does this basically make a patch file containing the updated changes without having to reupload the whole iso again?

Hi Ray,

No, it isn't a patch file. It is a 'recipe file' built from the ISO file, using the rsync algorithm, basically doing rolling check-sums to find and specify individual files, with name, size and check-sum replacing individual files contained therein.

It uses the same algorithm as rsync but differs in its operation by first sending the .zsync file and then using the information in that to check for matches and reusing anything held locally on the receiving system and then to download what else is needed to complete the ISO.

Unfortunately the method requires the entire new ISO to be uploaded still. Of course, if you can use rsync on your server you could use that to save sending the entire file each time, but unless the server is running Linux and rsync that won't be possible.

When used to download an ISO zsync first builds a template for the ISO, then looks inside an earlier ISO for the designated files by name and check-sum. When they are found these are inserted into the template instead of downloading them again. Each chunk is verified as it is inserted into the template and when finished the entire file is further checked for its check-sum.

That's a layman's version!


In practice, the system works like this : --

Code:
 zsyncmake pclinuxos-2010-beta2.iso -u pclinuxos-2010-beta2.iso

That took less than two minutes on my system. Using the -u switch with a repeat of the ISO file just tells zsync to look in the same directory for the ISO file. After that you can specify any URL to download from using the same -u switch once, twice or more times.


The format of the command is : --

zsync name-of-file.iso.zsync -i /path-to-directory/name-of-older-file.iso -u URL-1-to/name-of-file.iso -u URL-2-to/name-of-file.iso

Here is an example of a download : --

Code:
 wget -c URL-of-file/pclinuxos-2010-beta2.iso.zsync

I prefer to download the file first, then reference it locally.

Code:
 zsync pclinuxos-2010-beta2.iso.zsync -i /media/Spare/DownloadedISOfiles/PCLinuxOS/pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso -u http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/pclinuxos/live-cd/english/preview/pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso

This takes a few minutes reading the -i input file and creates a template the exact size of the target ISO, filling all the bits that are found in the local file. It then goes to the URL to fetch the remaining sections. In the case where only a few changes have been made to the ISO file this will greatly reduce the amount of data needing to be fetched, probably save time, too, depending on your download speed.

One great benefit of downloading with zsync, as far as I am concerned, is that it checks each chunk as it downloads it [remember it has the name, size and check-sum of each included file] and finally checks the overall check-sum of the entire ISO file when completed. The chance of having a bad download is almost nil but even then you will be told if a problem exists. In such rare cases you can just re-run the process using the failed download as input, but I've not yet had to do that.

I have experienced problems of slow download speeds using zsync. For updates or recovery of a bad download this shouldn't matter. For dial-up users I don't think it would matter, either. I'm still looking for answers on this, though.

I hope that clarifies it sufficiently. Give it a try, I think you will find it a piece of cake.
