M 12 alpha getting close

I wrote Warren today, asking for news, got this back:


	Quote: Hi Jerry, I have it running in 32 and 64 (in sync with Wheezy but with a 3.3 kernel) and booting on DVD. I need to do some clean up on the DVD boot and update minstall. Then it should be ready for an alpha, maybe about two weeks.

Re: M 12 alpha getting close

Sweet. Time to clear off a partition...

I've been playing with the new Ubuntu and Kubuntu the last couple of evenings. Phew. Makes me appreciate Warren's work once again. Unity... sorry, that's just silly. Kubuntu, on the other hand, is pretty sweet.

But, I've got no sound in either one. Comparing Kubuntu to my M11 install, I think I need to install the Phonon Xine backend. Ubuntu, I have no clue. All of which is disappointing. Nowadays there's no excuse for bog standard sound not to work out of the box with any recent desktop Linux install.

Re: M 12 alpha getting close

AMD's HDA bridges can get a little messy depending on whether or not it's an IGP or an APU part.

Right off hand the SBx00 would indicate a SouthBridge part, ergo, an older IGP part.

Kubuntu or any other Linux OS will not set up sound in your Bios for you, that is up to you to do.
Because sound does work out of the box with the motherboard in your signature, if the bios is setup correctly.

With my sandy bridge processor, Nvidia Optimus, the system would not even boot until I disabled the discrete Nvidia GPU in favor of the integrated intel GPU. Not strictly a sound issue, but punctuates the importance of bios settings in Linux.

	Quote: the importance of bios settings in Linux

We have nothing in the Manual on this! I have started a separate thread to try to collect ideas for the next edition.

Yeah, it's the same machine, with the same BIOS settings since I built it and set it up over a year ago. This is the first time I've had any difficulty with any sound stuff on it with any installs I've done. At least that I recall. It's been a long while since I've done any. I'll take a look in there when I get a chance.

Ahhh, a 3.3 kernel -I like the one currently used in antiX M12: version 3.3.3

Re: M 12 alpha getting close

Will M12 be Grubwise compatible with older Mepis versions?

M12 will use grub2 if that's what you're asking. viewtopic.php?p=294100#p294100
