This page collects relevant information concerning GoboLinux version
007. This file can be considered a companion to the documentation included in
the CD, and will be regularly updated as we get feedback in the mailing list.
Known bugs/issues
On the installed system
-
makeinfo binary from Texinfo is was not correctly linked (due to an conflict with TeTex makeinfo).
Running "SymlinkProgram -c overwrite Texinfo" is recommended for everybody that installed 007.
-
GDKXFT has a missing dependency in the CD, the FreeType package.
Download it at the packages pages if you plan to use GDKXFT.
-
Though listed in the menu.lst file, GRUB is not compiled with splashimage
support. The graphical bootloader from the CD is IsoLinux.
-
The patches stored in /Depot/Sources/Linux are not correct. To use the
kernel sources, revert the patches with patch -R and, if desired, apply
only the GoboHide patch. To access the compressed loopback image from
the ISO, compile the cloop module separately.
-
Problems have been reported with supermount. It is not enabled by default,
and we reccomend avoiding its use.
Running LiveCD
-
Some programs available inside CD didn't run as well as they should. Running
a 'full' GoboLinux within CD is a recent feature and is being improved gradually.
Some detected problems are listed bellow (if you know a solution to some of them,
email us):
- TeTex does not work;
- To run some application within KDE without using an terminal (e.g., menus, ALT+F2),
you need to specify the full path to it (/bin/ is enough). The PATH environment
variable seems not to be used.
-
Up to now, we did'nt have any unsolved booting problem with the GoboLinux 007 CD.
If the CD does not boot in your machine, try disabling the DMA option for your CDROM in the BIOS.
