Updated Waldorf "Testing" images: 20121015

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 by corenominal

Updated Waldorf images are available now.

These new images were built to address an issue with the live session, whereby under certain conditions the live session would spawn two X sessions. Whilst this bug only affected live sessions and was not present once an installation had been performed, I still figured it was worth addressing to ensure any live users can more accurately evaluate the system, before performing an installation.

Other changes have been kept to an absolute minimum and any existing Waldorf users should not need to perform a new installation, unless they wish to help with testing the install process.

Other minor changes of note are:

• Iceweasel updated to version 16.0.1

• To improve the out-of-the-box networking experience, users are now automatically added to the 'fuse' group. This should make mounting of remote filesystems somewhat easier for novice users.

• Thunar should now startup without delay. This addresses a long standing issue with Thunar whereby under certain conditions it would pause whilst waiting to automount network filesystems.

• Other minor usability fixes which have been documented on the forums over the past few weeks.

A massive thank you to everybody who has helped test and provide feedback on the previous Waldorf images -- I have received numerous messages from people who have said that Waldorf is developing into something quite special and this would not have been possible without you! :)

As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated, so please do not hesitate to post below!
