I really like this! What's the best way to go about upgrading the kernel? I installed this on an Acer C720 chromebook but the touchpad doesn't work. Kernel 3.17 or higher adds support though so it would be nice to use that. The sound didn't work for me either, even after selecting the default card and messing with the mixer. Might be kernel related too?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

The developer of tahr has other kernels here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... r/kernels/, just replace the zdrv and vmlinuz.

@ConfigX asks for directions: I think this forum can help if we know which processor and which model of Acer Chromebook he has, as I believe, some have differing chipsets.. Also, too, Does he have a "touchscreen" model?

Thanks for testing billtoo. I have a small list of things to do for 1b3 but nothing that important.

@rg66 I suggest that you use cheser as the default icon set for x-tahr and also for x-slacko

Thanks for the suggestion mistfire. X-series has always used "Elementary" desktop icons and the full cheser pkg is just too big to include. I'll see if I can make a half decent cheser desktop icon pkg and post it.

I know that rg66. Just pick some icons from it. I suggest these icons that cheser must be used:

* Folders (this is the top priority)
* Places
* Actions

Cheser desktop icons

nice packaging @rg66 will it change the icons and file/folder icons in thunar by using this cheser package that you compiled?

The appearance is more attractive than the default hi-color @rg66, it's nice. Can you help to find the xfce 4.12 default interface theme as shown on their website? By the way does the hibernate works on X-tahr and X-slacko?

Looks like the Xfce theme on the website is Faience. You can get it here: http://smokey01.com/rg66/X-common-packages/. XFaience is the blue version.

Tahr and slacko appear to only support suspend to RAM and not to disk (hibernate).

Code: Select all

# echo -n disk > /sys/power/state
bash: echo: write error: Function not implemented

rg66 -- I have made an alternate (modified) SFS for X-Tahr that includes the Caja file manager from MATE. At 254mb, it's a little big to upload to my usual filehost site (DataFileHost, max size 150mb)... but I'd love to share it.

Do you know of a place I could upload it?

There's lots of free storage out there. Dropbox, google drive (15GB), copy.com (I have 25GB there) etc.......
