Re: New ISO

 

@Jack,
Thanks, when this happens can you send me the ~/.starttorios.log
as well as ~/.jwm/jsm-logs/nice-start.log
This is the issue with JWM that I have been having, though i thought it was fully fixed... alas.

I suppose another workaround would be to add
<StartupCommand>jwm -restart</StartupCommand>
into your ~/.jwmrc file

I am not entirely sure why this happens, but Joe has been looking into it.

Some of the issues are gone, but hopefully soon we can get this fully sorted out.

@Nio, one of the greatest advantages is the low memory usage required to install the OS, as well as running it.

Yeah, we do not include a web browser by default, however the initial 'firstrun' allows for easy installation of many different programs:
Web browser
Music/Video
Office
etc..
So I think this is good, as some people like Chrom(e/ium) and some like Firefox. Some like both.

Thanks for testing guys!!

Hey everyone,

I got everything rebuilt, and tested the menu.

So far so good, it looks like this fix works.

I also got the ISO to a much more manageable size, it is now 684 MiB

So this is a great!  It is now working and the right size.

I tested the normal install process, but nothing has changed in OBI
recently.


Please zsync and test this ISO!



Hi Israel,

I will zsync and do some testing tonight, but I will start travelling
tomorrow afternoon, and be away for 3 days ... so there will be no
thorough testing by me this time (unless you wait until I'm back).

Best regards

Hi Israel,

I noticed that the shutdown menu is simple, only shutdown, no reboot in the live session. I guess it is your intention (to save iso file size(?)).

Installing at the advanced OBI level worked correctly.

I can confirm the bugs detected by Jack (in the installed system).

I made a rather quick check, but things seems to work rather well, and the iso file is within CD size :-)

The size of the installed system is 1.5 GiB (as seen by df -h), Lubuntu Trusty is 2,5 GiB and the newer Lubuntu versions are bigger (as installed). The Lubuntu iso files exceed the CD size. So size is really different between them, not only RAM usage, but it also implies that people need to add some application programs in order to make ToriOS useful. I think the main difference to Lubuntu is Firefox.

Best regards
Nio
