3.7.6 betatesting experiences

REF: 3.7.6-betatesting-experiences _64bit

I will take time now to create
an constructive bug/error/ - improvable design - report
for @Thanatermesis ;
I have set the following criteria as follows:

  • First impression of first run after fresh install - with
    Desktop Environment:
    Elive
    Enlightenment
    Cairo*

  • Behavior and appearance of (default) applications, like
    appearance (window borders, changeable outlook) saving dialog boxes

  • Dialog boxes

  • Translations (German)

  • Haptics of handling with
    NetworkManager (BUGGY)
    mount additional (local) discs and partitions

MORE SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME HERE

Then

  • a better default setup for Enlightenment (e16)
  • a better default setup for Cairo-Dock -
    with creating a* Cairo-Dock Theme to save and load

Bare metal installation on a very common type of a Desktop PC:
|| AMD A8 | 4GB RAM | SSD _ GUID GPT REISER4 {root partition} |
ATI / AMD shared onboard graphics | wlan | LAN | USB2 | USB3 |
Audio in/out & digital audio out | 2x DVD-RAM | 1x SSD | 1x conventional hard drive ||

I made the partitioning of the SSD intentionally a bit tricky :
{no UEFI mode}


First session:
Bug Report

Elive Menu:
(All the icons in the sub-menus are not rendered well; looking like from last decade)
Audio > Mixxx & MusicBrainz = no icon
Elive > Install Silverlight = no icon
Game > is still in Elive Menu though no games installed
Network > links2 = seems not working (?)
Office > LibreOffice is not up to date
Utility > unison = no icon
Video > cin & Flowable Movie Editor = no icon

Enlightenment:
*FIRST OF ALL – PLS! Change the default *
*from „Focus follows Mouse-pointer“ to „Focus follows Mouseclick“ *
and uncheck “all new windows gets focus immediately”

Bug:
Creating of „Phantom Shadows“ of formerly closed windows on the desktop as long (as per default) ‚shadows‘ in Composite settings is enabled,
change to ‚no shadows‘ solves this issue
Bug: (? Or I am just blond ?)
Iconbox created = nothing can be done/changed with it, can’t even remove it anymore…
Bug:
‘create systemtray’ sometimes not working (seems to be Theme related?)
Bug:
“Network-Manager-Applet” inside a “systray” stops to respond on mouseclicks after a while; Theme issue? (same with other applets)
Bug:
Enlightenment/Themes:
23ozglass looking bad / no sound = can’t work
Bug:
Enlightenment/Desktop/
Backgounds = not working
Bug:
Enlightenment/ ‘go to former Desktop’ = kills the Wallpaper = black background

(enough for today will continue a bit later, stay tuned)
