if you aren’t a vi expert and you have a connection you may install some other (simple) editor, for instance nano, as usual:
urpmi nano
add the following lines (the explanation of which is contained inside the file itself) into .config/openbox/rc.xml, at the end of applications section, (i.e. just before lines containing < /applications>):
The main Calamares window is maximized and undecorated but all other windows and child windows still have a normal aspect. And does not matter what resolution is in use (the screenshot was taken with 800x600)!
Putting this config into openbox packages will affect all Desktop Environment will use openbox as window manager, for instance LXQt, so I try to put this configuration directly into calamares-install-setup
I made a pull request here:
If you like this alternative solution I will merge into the repo.
Notes:
Calamares properly displayed and all screens are usable.
Also, once entered the system, because of previous display size (install procedure), the screen is at more convenient 1024x768 resolution. At this time users just need to set the vbox virtual screen size at their preference.
I discover this just now. Open Firefox and write a valid url at address bar, then hit Enter and nothing happens. Clicking on the arrow Firefox starts to upload the page. Tested with ISO #1588 in live mode.
Yes, GO vote happened late Sunday afternoon. Colin is getting things moving.
Congratulations @TPG and everyone involved for making this an excellent release. And thanks for you patience while we had all those things to fix in the last few weeks. (I know I lost my patience a few times.)
I checked this with ISO 1588 on hardware and in VBox and it works OK for me.
On the i586 ISO 1587 both on hardware and in VBox Firefox doesn’t work well at all ( )but otherwise ISO worked OK as far as I tested it which was a “just barely” test.
As for blog post and related media dissemination all is ready to go.
But there are other tasks needing to be attended such as upload ISOs at SF and create torrents.
Unless we want to give direct links to abf downloads.
In this case I just have to add links and push “Publish” button, even right now.
As far as I know Colin contacted all the people needed to do the actual release Sunday evening. I don’t know for sure who those people are except for @rugyada who does have announcement/blog post ready. As I remember it is maybe@jclvanier or @raphael that upload the ISO’s and checksums to SF and @john that produces the torrents.
