[feedback]From a Live session of v4.2beta:

Boots from USB drive FAT32 partition marked "active" and prepped with either YUMI or multibootusb.

Cannot adjust resolution via right-click anywhere on desktop. (rare high-level GUI discipline)
Limited selection of resolutions - possibly limited to GPU/BIOS data (or EDID lies?) - monitor handles more

1st Preferences/screensaver entry works, selection dumbed-down/limited
2nd Preferences/screensaver entry shows a few not-installed entries, daemon not working

play-video works, sound OK, sysinfo OK

<Google (is-not-your-friend) Chrome removed>
(Note: live-user "ubuntu" has sudo priviliges - mention in website blog with ISO md5?)
No Dillo/NetSurf/Iceweasel/Firefox (Elinks won't launch), unpacked PaleMoon to desktop & added shortcut

Ubuntu Tweak will need migration to Mate (marco not)

(dark themes have visibility challenges; RedShiftGUI helps, but user control (sliders, scheduling) would be better)

As 'buntu enhancements migrate upstream, more DebIan-based (non-'buntu) fully-loaded distro ISOs emerge.
Competition.
Automation of programming saved a lot of bacon pre-Y2K; clearly it provides an advantage here too.

This worthless one wonders what wonders would come of fusion with Makulu ...

May you Live Well and Thrive.

The installation of 4 to 4.2 all cant go beyond this error--I had to go back to 3.8>>>Some one knows who to circumvent it?

[billhedrick]

I install off my dedicated USB flash drive. Faster and less possibility of error

Make sure your MD5..i.e. hashes, checksum, matches after download completion.

I finally got 4.2 running without any issues, it installed smooth, after having to do some playing around in bios.. Only problem I'm having, is when trying to shut it down, all it does is log you off, but will not shut down the computer.. I have to manually do it with the power button on the computer..

[Xanayoshi]

Open a Terminal

Code: Select all

sudo poweroff

If this isn't quite doing it

Code: Select all

sudo poweroff -f

Since this is Mate, you can add these commands to your Menu, Panel, Desktop with relative ease, but there is likely a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.
