I ran 32 bit version in live mode. Not bad at all. I notice this is a non-PAE kernel .... in that that not all RAM is recognized. Is this a feature i.e will we be able to chose? In itself I don't mind ...... maybe I can get som llife back into my old Linutop2..... Just barely I suspect, it only h…

[image] Thanatermesis: but if you do, you should then want to use a 64bit system and not a 32bit one Yes, but before 3.7.x we only had the 32bit option available so that got installed on 64bity machines too and (in my case) got cluttered enough to not properly survive an upgrade to 64bit.

[image] triantares: Yes, but before 3.7.x we only had the 32bit option available so that got installed on 64bity machines too and (in my case) got cluttered enough to not properly survive an upgrade to 64bit. hum... in fact you should be able to switch between 32/64 bit systems (upgrade mode …

[image] Thanatermesis: this means, users of 3.0-stable should upgrade to 3.7.x (64bit) without any issues :thinking: That's where I have some serious doubts, considering the major diffs in the repos there. Will try later but running short on machines to try on. :rofl:

Hello I tried 3.7.4 32bit in live mode and here are my first impressions: Live boot shows a "barcode" with a console message origin just before E16 starts and leaves it all the time at the screen. Is strange because if I made a screen capture isn't shown but is always present in my screen (but mo…

[image] maxinou: Live mode doesn't use the swap partition (even if at start it looks for it), You can make it use the swap partition with the command: "sudo swapon /dev/sda2" -where sda2 has to be changed to where your swap is It makes more sense to install anyway, that would free up some R…

[image] maxinou: Live boot shows a "barcode" with a console message origin just before E16 starts looks like a drivers issue, have you tried the other boot options? try also the boot parameter vga=normal also, maybe the installed mode will not have it, probably its a wrong use / detection of…

UPDATE: live mode with graphical problems activated still shows the barcode live mode with debud and verbose mode activated still shows the barcode Live mode with E17 shows the barcode and Open GL is not supported, in E16 Open GL is well supported I'll install it now.....

[image] maxinou: Live mode doesn't use the swap partition (even if at start it looks for it), mmh, it should, if you have 1gb or less of ram (which considers needed) and the swap partition is not hibernated i will do a test in vbox too... [image] maxinou: It seems that fonts are not d…

3.7.4-32 installed and working very, very well :applause::excited::boogie: No problem while installing and "barcode" is missed :boogie: I'll write tomorrow my first impressions, and next days I'll work continuously with both 32 and 64 flavour to perform tests. :typing: Thanks again for both @Than…
