Dear siduction buddies,
By the way, I found a bug with lxde.I don't know the others have the same bug because I haven't checked yet.The Bug is the following:After burning the image, when rebooting the iso image, It comes with f2 (the languages to choose pt-br, german, english, etc.) If I click f2, It freezens. It only works regularly if I don't click f2 and it start installing the siduction. Thus, I would like to report it.If I start the lxde without f2, in this case it starts installing all right with no frosen screen. Do I have to install the pt-br manually?
Cheers.

Hi otto!

I can confirm this behaviour, more exactly: if one presses F2 right after booting into the start screen and tries to choose Italian or Brazilian Portuguese as language, the system will freeze and must be reset hard. I nocticed that in front of the boot option line the word/translation for the boot options is missing ('Boot Options' in English) too.

By the way, this is rather a booting/gfxboot issue than an LXDE one probably, so can anyone else confirm this by trying another flavour of 12.1-rc1?

Otto, would you mind filing a bug at http://chili.siduction.org/projects/siduction/issues?

Thank you for testing and reporting.

Hi,

can confirm with KDE 64bit. Italian and Brazilian Portuguese causes freeze. German and Poland works as expected.

Here's a workaround until this issue has been fixed (probably for the final release):

After the boot screen has appeared, just enter the following and press the return key afterwards:

* for Brazilian Portuguese: lang=pt_BR
* for Italian: lang=it_IT

Then siduction should start regularly with the right language, locale and timezone settings.

I did not notice the bug, because I tested with grub2-fll-fromiso. It works out of the box here.

Just change the lines in /etc/default/grub2_fll_fromiso to

Code: [Select]

# set default language
# default: en_US
FLL_GRUB2_LANG="pt_BR"

# override the default timezone.
# default: UTC
FLL_GRUB2_TZ="America/Sao_Paulo"

Best regards,
