Updated 2020-11-29

After 3 rounds of mass building of Cooker main/release repository we made some new Cooker ISO’s. These ISO’s are thought to be an accurate preview of OM Lx 4.2 Beta release.

Cooker x86_64 ISO

Cooker zenver1 ISO

The following is my report of what I have found so far in testing these:

  1. Both ISO’s booted with EFI enabled, and installed in VirtualBox.

  2. This is a catch all bug report that is designed to have a list of all known issues that need to be fixed for OM Lx 4.2.

After a mass rebuild of an entire repository there is always some package fixing so there will be more issues. I suspect especially there may be issues with packages with various python dependencies.

If you find any problem it is best to file a bug report. Alternatively you could open a new thread in Development Testing forum. :thinking:

As of new ISO’s from # 3610 and after this issue has been corrected. (The ISO’s linked in 1st post above do not have this issue.)

There was a bug user might needs to know about to install from older ISO’s. ISO’s from # 3598 to 3609 were affected by this.

If you try to open Calamares you will see:

You will need to edit /etc/calamares/modules/users.conf. You want to change the 3rd line from:

- users

To:

- name: users

So it looks like this:

And now you should see this when you open Calamares:

The problem with EFI boot in VirtualBox discussed in post #1 Problem #1 is now fixed.

First post updated with new ISO’s 2020-11-26, also the post was edited to remove some issues that have since been corrected. Yeah, we keep fixing things when we can where we can. :wink: We are sure there will be more things that come up before final release of OM Lx 4.2. We will do our best to correct anything reported.
