thanks a lot for the feedback, its really helpful :)

there was an upload of grub-installer yesterday with new udev rules i
guess that might fix your problem.

the X_COLOR_DEPTH issue is fixed in my local codebranch and will be
included in my next upload ...

the version thing is a leftover to make getltscfg quiet at client boot
you can safely ignore it if you use a customized lts.conf (getltscfg
complains if it finds a file but no values in it ... we discovered that
issue to late in the gutsy cycle to add a more complex fix that could
possibly have broken other things) this will be fixed before release in
getltscfg itself, so there wont be a placeholder option needed anymore.

yes, i mentioned the font issues in my mail :)

> Next prob: I had sucessfully created  one user (named test11) with gnome users adminstration tool. Later I wanted to create another user (named test22)for my second client. But now no success with that tool ??? After creating the new user you are not able to find him in the user list.

both are related to gnomes switch to consolekit for authentication. ldm
is lacking integration yet since we're not clear yet if the integration
shouldnt rather happen in ssh (its on the agenda for discussion with the
openssh maintainer at the distro sprint next week)

great :)


thanks for the helpful report :) i'll report back to the list which
issues are fixed during development.
