One simple problem ("simple" because I think Playdayz, TaZoC and maybe Shinobar have solved this) is the processing of the FirstRUN when the user selects a hostname for their Slacko PC. Even though some system parms are set appropriately, all are not...UNTIL...there is a logout that has occurred on the console.
The installation of SAMBA exposes this problem. As a circumvention: When I cancel the SAMBA Management Utility, Ctrl-Alt-Bkspce, logout, and xwin, this appears to handle the system needs. At this point, the SAMBA Management Utility exposes the correct hostname that was set at FirstRUN.
This may have been solved in the last version of SLACKO, but, I don't remember.
Below are the processing order of things in SLACKO which exposes the "bug". I assist as follows
- Slacko SAMBA - Hostname and localization screen
- Slacko SAMBA - Welcome screen after Localization
- Slacko SAMBA - Connect from Welcome Screen shows correct hostname
- Slacko SAMBA - LAN setup from Connect Screen step
- Slacko SAMBA - The BUG - Shows original Hostname when NO logout has occurred for desktop user before SAMBA installation started
- Slacko SAMBA - I get CORRECT Hostname when logout has occurred after FirstRUN processing has changed the hostname
Hope this is understood as presented.
