<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for the new SoaS5 test. Here is my
experience:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1) No more keyrings (cheers) - for me
anyway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2) No GDM login (cheers) - again, for me
anyway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>3) Main issue #1: Csound "still" uses the new
cursor. (I gather Csound remains to be rebuilt with (scons option)
<FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">buildRelease=1. At least, that's what Victor
Lazzarini says.)</FONT> Otherwise I'll need to add the --old-parser flag to
all my (6) activities - which I'd prefer not to do uniquely for this release.
I'd certainly hope this can be adjusted before SoaS5 release.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>4) Main issue #2: activities only start 50% of the
time. This is true for *all* activities. It's not clear why an activity
will start one time and not another (it prints "didn't start" message). With
Mango Lassi, this happens occasionally/rarely for me; here it happens *a
lot*.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I thought maybe this had something to do with the
USB drives I'd made with LiveUSB Creator. It doesn't. I created two: one 2GB,
one 4GB with all memory protected.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>5) Noted difference in Journal: hovering over an
entry does nothing; a right-click on an entry does nothing. Only a left-click
resumes the activity - normally the one it originated in (see 5 below).
Apparently you cannot erase from the Journal (except by clicking on the
rightmost arrow, to another page), nor resume in a different activity any
more. I appreciated those features.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>6) Record (audio) continues to cause me problems.
Record apparently records correctly (or does it?) but does not play back. When a
recording is "resumed" from the Journal, it resumes (not in Record) but in
either Surf or Etoys, depending on whether it was saved automatically from
Record, or as a clipping that was kept. In any case, no activity plays the
"recorded" file. Go figure. (One possibility: Record seems to be interchanging
Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Speex formats - ugh.) FWIW, here's the complete Record log
(seems to involve the Dbus and an elapsed timeout):</FONT></DIV>

network issue is still there, its partially working from the work that I did
with some assistance from John Dulaney. I've included another utility to
enable initial configuration of a wireless access point and from there it
will auto connect and should mostly work. There's issues with the main
network view and in the control panel but it seems no one else cares enough
to assist me in getting it fixed. To configure an AP run the command
"nm-connection-editor" from a terminal as the standard user (not
root).<BR><BR>I don't believe there are any other major blockers for this
release. If you believe there to be any issues speak up now and provide
fixes for it.<BR><BR>NOTE: This is the last chance to test and get things
fixed. Please provide concise details to any issues in reply to this
mail.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>There was in issue with the i686 image being truncated. They have
both been updated. Please ensure you have one with the following md5sum.
