Nice touch. And, can see your logic in screen layout. Looking like a potentially great Home Entertainment system with the media subsystems you provide OOTB.

should be in the wheezy section but I only noticed after over 1.5gb had gone up already

will move another day!

Does anyone know the way to make the icons on the desktop bottom right expand with higher resolution desktops so that they hold their relative position to the edges og the screen?? They are already sticky.

Also; I forget to add an icon from drvive_c/Program Files/SARDU/sardu.exe to the desktop.

I could provide a wine menu entry in the system tray menu.

Cheers

I just got Synaptics package manager working fully!!

I also realise I shipped the iso with the wrong kernel, but the modules for both kernels are there. So I will upload an updated iso soon adding video editor and qemu
.
EDIT: I have compiled kernel 3.14.5-pae using kernel-kit-ng by 01micko and initrd from 'woof-ce next' build script by Jamesbond. The re-uploaded iso will be shipped with this new combination kernel, initrd and kernel-modules.sfs ! Future upgrades will be either kernel and sfs module and/or main sfs.

Thanks for the feedback @gcmartin I will pay those issues some attention. I actually thought I had installed samba 4.09 but woof-ce may have picked up an old one from the host system. No matter I will sort it out, but it will take a while as I will also upgrade a few other packages, notably wine.

I have encountered some performance issues when using QQ2013 chinese version - not sure if it is the new kernel combination or other.

As you move forward, see this post by MikeB for 32bit implementations.

Hope this helps

[csipesz]

bravo, looks very serious!
so i can see it, you are a related soul

@csipesz

Thanks!

@gcmartin, kvm is enabled! at least on my intel hardware. Did you have a problem with video/games graphics??

[gcmartin]

On a 64bit AMD X2 running LH64, I booted this distro in QEMU created Guest VM; No issues with video in the guest. Very snappy.

I have NOT installed any PETs. Seem most everything is already enclosed from its ISO.
Thanks.

You had mentioned your next build. An update to shutdown processing is now available in WOOF-CE. This would be a good addition to EmSee as you go forward in packaging.

Here to help.

[stemsee]

I couldn't get that rc.shutdown to work! Anyway, qemu V2.0.0 32bit is in, samba 4.1(01micko) is in .... needs testing

Synaptic/apt-get/dpkg fully working!! (thanks to saintless) Shuffle order of dep installs to beat the broken package dilemma. gcmartin might write a tutorial on how to get the best out of EmSee-2nd-Edition, as well as offer support and further guidance!

Kernel 3.15.0 kernel-kit-ng or 3.16-rc1

testdisk, crypt, lvm2, mda, added.

@gcmartin - if you want me to add ip on hover then please supply .pet

I will be uploading this iso tonight and previous one will be deleted.

EmSee-2nd-Edition warrants LTS (at least 3 months ... okay okay maybe 6) status once out of beta.

[stemsee]

Here is a new iso for second round of testing.

md5

I will now do a full install and repair further issues, and add any requests.

Edit: EmSeeV2.2 incremental update pending!

[gcmartin]

Tested today and found some issues, probably minor. See screen below where I "launched" a VM guest to boot EmSeeV2b2. But upon its desktop arrival, it was missing couple items.

Also, I did not see "FirstRUN" at boot-time to allow some simple settings for various needs.
