<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I downloaded and installed xubuntu 7.04 from the
alt-cd and here is what I report (I don't have access to update the
wiki)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, I ran the disk checker</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> aside from the blue box jumping
all over the screen, it went fine</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then I ran the text install</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>first item up: auto-detect keyboard</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> maybe I just don't understand
how it is supposed to work, or I cant tell the difference with the keys, but
tried it 4 times, kept getting wrong keyboard layout. Manually set up the
keyboard (English/English)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for the disk partitioning, I chose the guided
resize & use free. Aside from me not seeing the progress bars move at all
(partition 1 stated @ 0% until complete, partition 3 stated and stayed @ 33%
until complete) all went well (so far as I could tell)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The install ran fine, progress bars worked, no
hangs or errors</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Grub detected my 6.10 install, and configured
properly</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>rebooted and launched into 7.04 automatically (but
on second reboot, grub waited for me to pick--maybe I accidentally hit the
<enter> key and didn't notice?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The first application I launched was gxine to test
audio and DVD playback (non-encrypted DVD)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> upon launch, gxine immediately
displays error box "No Demuxer found"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> closed that box, gxine played
music cd</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> chose DVD from the menu, got
another error message saying it could not play the media and that xine-lib was
broken (will have to get the exact error message later)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> opened synaptic and checked the
repos. Universe was UNchecked but Multiverse WAS checked (?) changed location
from USA to MAIN</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> installing gnomebaker went
without issue</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> forgot to check for updates @
this time (more later)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> attempted to add a user, but the
user admin tool said only that I did not have permissions to run the
app</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> tested network-admin, this also
would not load from the applications>settings>network-admin but it DID
launch from command line</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It looks like only synaptic will
load from the menu list (and prompt for your password)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> At this time, I ran mark all
upgrades, there were 9 to load and it ran without issue; but it removed gaim,
open office, synaptic(!), xubuntu-desktop, and a bunch of other files.
attempted to re-install synaptic with apt-get, but it requires liblaunchpad0 (I
think I copied that right) which it found but could not install because it
needed liblaunchpad (or something similar...same as the above, without the
zero)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> in terminal, I ran grep -r
<my password> /var and got a long list of permission denied and "file not
found" errors, but no hits on my password were shown</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> reran that test as sudo, and
terminal hung</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tested 12 Jan 2007</FONT></DIV>
