User Feedback :: various problem with DSL 3.0



Hi,

Here are a couple of issues I noticed after trying out DSL 3.0 for the first time:

At the end of the boot up process Dillo is launched with - I suppose as in the past - a short introduction to DSL.  With DSL 3.0 however Dillo start but does not open any file.  A message at the bottom of Dillo says that dpid could not be started.  I tried starting it from the console and I got this:

AS DSL:


Code Sample
dpi_socket_dir.c:63: tst_dir: access : No such file or directory
- /tmp/dsl-r1b1bc/
debug_msg - init_sockdir: The socket directory /tmp/dsl-r1b1bc does not exist or is not a directory
dpi_socket_dir.c:85: mk_sockdir: a_Misc_mkdtemp :  - /tmp/dsl-l8ctg8
dpi_socket_dir.c:123: init_sockdir: mk_sockdir :  - Failed to create dpi socket directory
main.c:243: main: init_sockdir : Failed to create socket directory


AS ROOT:

Code Sample
dpi.c:61: a_Dpi_rd_dpi_socket_dir: access : No such file or directory
- /root/.dillo


Other problems I noticed included that the mount tool cannot be started and neither can the system stats.

I use DSL on a laptop and acpi is buggy.  It does correctly report the precentage of battery charge, but tormso erroneously says "AC" when my laptop is running on its battery.  When I run acpi from a terminal it does correctly report when the battery is charging, but it adds "charging at zero rate - will never fully charge".

That's it for now (I only had 10 minutes to try it out).

HTH & kind regards and many thanks for your fantastic work!

try using the cheat code > dsl legacy

or using the new version 3.0.1 were unionfs is not used.

i find most problems is because of unionfs and the way it combines the directories.
ok. thanks for the advice - I will try that!

Kind regards,

I tried doing this but ALL the problems encountered remained...

Do you think trying 3.0.1 will help?  (they posted that the sole difference between 3.0 and 3.0.1 was that the latter did not have unionfs by default...)
Try downloading and burning again. use cdr burn at 4x
