Thanks for KDE - Theemann

[jai]

Thanks Theemann for finally giving us KDE4 on our favourite distro. Now I do not need seperate KDE installation.
Thanks again...

A few things I would like to say/point
i) Gnome theme of 2.3 really disappointed me. (Am I allowed to say things clearly and honestly, Thanks)

ii) Sir, could we have XFCE on our x86 machines anytime soon or even LXDE How good is it to install environment through Ultamatix ?

iii) May I request you to give us some tool to remaster Ultimate.Actually I had put a lot of new apps in my 2.2 and tweaked it to my liking and want to keep a copy of the same with me. Remastersys gave me a lot of problem with user groups and finally failed. Could u give/suggest some utility like one which is bundled with DreamLinux, Mint and few others. And yes with no or least scripting on end-user side.

iv) Live DVD does not shut down properly rather it does not shut down at all in last around 10% stage. It hangs there.

I will come up with more after I have tested it more.Currently it is only 15 minutes old on my system.

Thanks again ...

First of all, thanks for your feedbacks. They are always welcome/appreciated, wether good or bad. About your Ultamatix environment installation question. It is 100% good/easy to install any desktop shell using Ultamatix!!

Remastersys Backup is one of the best application to make a personal copy/backup of your system. Its also easy to use.

On the other hand, there is other applications out there like "Reconstruction" which I would only recommend to a professional/Linux expert.

Make sure that your copy of Remastersys is not broken, as it should work perfectly. Please try downloading it over, this time from a different source.

As for your shut-down problem. I reckon that its a hardware problem/compatibility problem that cause it to freeze up/hang an not shut-down successfully.

Hi jai,
I can confirm that I have the same issue as you with the Live DVD - the DVD does eject as per normal during shutdown but no message telling me to press enter to continue, it just hangs there. If it is a hardware thing, I'm also running an intel board DG31 with an E8400 Processor.....
I've also noticed you're wanting to run OSX (in your sig) - go for it, works great on an intel board!

Cheers.

Now I come to think of it, I didn't get that message either. Just did it because that's how it use to work - and it took very long time from I pressed "Enter" to anything happened.

Moebius, I really want to test it on my machine(physical or virtual) but have been a complete failure. I tried iatkos 5i(or something similar ) and ideneb but was a failure. It never went beyond Apple logo. I remember it showed some error regarding dupicate kexts(drivers) or something Could u plz help me in this regard I will genuinely be grateful for any help/guidance. Thank you....

2 darkchild,
Thanks for prompt reply.
I failed 5 times with Remastersys.It created Live DVD but it never logged in. It seems to be asking some user name and password that I don't know
Kindly guide me as to what am I doing wrong ? My source for the info and source is this http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1864

Thanks once again...

Please use my uploaded Remastersys from the link below. Look at the provided screen shot for the option that you should select to make a successful Remaster ISO. Please pay attention to where my mouse point is pointing!! I don't see why you shouldn't login if you remastered your system successfully. If you saw a login option with "username" & password" with your remastered dvd, then there should also be a timer count down from 10 seconds or so. You should just leave it & then system would login by it automatically!!

Hi jai,
Bit off topic, so I've sent you a PM.
Cheers.

That way to remaster just copies your os with no personal settings,or configurations.If you want a truly custom remaster to mimic everything you have done then you can do this.

I did the same thing with the same version but it refused to go ahead of login screen even after waiting for 20 min.That was when I called myself failure with it cause app must be good as so many people are happy with it and it is working excellent for them.

How about a compressed permissions-preserved archive of the root directory excluding few directories.All I want is to be able to copy tweaked,decorated and loaded Ultimate into my friends and brothers computers.

Thanks once again...
