UEFI Build Test

[j1r1]

Jerry,
I appreciate the work you do and I am really happy to contribute.
Fell free to contact me in case of need.

hey Jerry, I am in... I have a new Acer Aspire R3-131T UEFI. I think is a good idea to test with this new little machine.

jalcom

I'd like a few volunteers to test a new UEFI build I've been working on. The file will be hosted via private access. If you have a UEFI computer and would like to help test this ISO, please reply to this thread and let me know. This cannot be tested on VirtualBox, it must be installed to actual hardware

I've added a license file to go with this, necessary to ensure this stays as a private test - https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/files/EFI-LICENSE.txt You'll have to agree with this first, thank you. You will need to install Filezilla to access the ISO.

Code:

sudo apt-get install filezilla

During this test we need you to report the following:

- What install options you choose (check boxes on the installer etc)
- Whether this is a dual boot test or single boot (installing Linux Lite UEFI only on your computer)
- Any errors that occur during the install: please keep an eye on the installer, see where it crashes
- Install using another keyboard selection, eg. English UK keyboard
- Install in another language, eg. German or French etc.
- Screenshot any crashes or error messages

Thank you in advance, Jerry

Jerry,

I am in with the UEFI Testing, I have a new ACER ASPIRE R3-131T Laptop with UEFI. Just give me the ISO and I will come back to you with my comments.

Cheers mate

Jalcom

@jalcom pm sent, thank you.

The language issue is proving to be a huge challenge, I feel my brain slowly melting after each fix attempt Will keep you all posted.

Is ibus-gtk installed?

Code:

apt-cache policy ibus-gtk

Locale is missing.
I would try to add the locale before installing.

Code:

sudo locale-gen "it_IT.UTF-8"

and

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

After that I would run the install.

[valtam]

ibus-gtk is installed. As far as the locale goes, we can't have people running a terminal command before they run the installer. It just has to work. For some reason, the installer isn't generating the locale as it's supposed to.

I'm still working through the language issue, I must have built and tested over a dozen ISO's in the last 2 days

I don't know if this will help or not but I found a bug report "IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of ~/.config/ibus/bus is not root!" related to gedit, in comment #12 it states:

Code:

The reason for this bug is that when you start gedit or so IM module from IBus got loaded. As you do "sudo", the user of IM module would be "root".

However, the ibus-daemon is started by the normal user in most cases, which would create ~/.config/ibus/bus if it doesn't exists.

IIRC, this is the limitation of current D-Bus technology that two processes having different user (uid) cannot communicate.
The warning is just the superfacial representation of it.

this is the link to the report:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1125944

Again don't know if it will help, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
