Re: KDE 4.4 Beta Bugs & Issues.
My ISO and burned CD passed the md5sum checks. The first time I tried to boot the 64bit LL LiveCD it gave me a name and password login screen. I rebooted it and the desktop came up automatically.
The second thing I noticed was that my
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
sound chip wasn't recognized correctly. KMixer did not offer all the settings in KDE 4.4 that it does in 4.3.4, so I have only a Microphone input. No Line or CD input, no PCM controls.
Stellarium didn't display any stars, but the config screens were now readable. Kpackagekit told me that 64 security patches and app updates were available for installation. I ran them but after they downloaded and attempted to install it crashed on trying to replace konq-l10n-plugins. It recommended installing the "advanced package manager Synaptic". When I installed and ran Synaptic it didn't see any updates except for konq-l10n-plugins but it couldn't install it because of missing dependencies.
plasmoids would randomly crash and/or disappear, but reinstalling them brings everything back.
Can't install apps in the system tray directly but there is an applet that contains most utilities that should be in the tray and when you check their button they appear in the tray.
NetworkManager would not activate my
05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100
wireless chip, even though I could scan, see it, and select it, and add the password. So, I removed it and installed wicd, which allowed me to connect to my wireless. Without an eth0 cable from the back of the wireless I would not have been able to download synaptic and wicd.
EDIT:
I am now running LL from a LiveUSB, from the LiveDVD I created this afternoon, 12/23/09. Stellarium now gives readable configuration windows. Unfortunately, it doesn't show any stars!
FF, TB, and Skype 2.1 works perfectly
KMix still does not show my Line In, cdrom or pcm, so it is not working as well as it did in 9.04 and 9.10.
