Release Hotfix 6 RC released

[Asmo]

And the TV cable is now buyable? Im waiting for months now and didnt know that.

No, it's just the software that's been updated, no (official) cables yet.

 

[Nickie]

this is probably known, but this morning, i tried navigating into folders, checking some files to make my bluetooth phone recognized as a modem, and in barely 10 minutes, the file explorer crashed a dozen times :/


it's not really new, but still happens with HF6

@ED I recall you saying somewhere, is this the last HF for Release 1 before work on a Release 2 starts? What will be the differentiating factors?

 

[Binky]

I think a new kernel and making better use of hardware came into it.


e.g. DSP support, improved low power mode

 

[Caine]

XFCE 4.6 --> 4.8 perhaps?

since hf6 I'm unable to put the pandora in lowpower mode with the lid closed. I did play with lid close settings and selected switch off screen. which I assume was the default anyway.


edit:


FC#266 raised.


ED, I was unable to log this against HF6RC as it was not a drop down option. As you are asking for bugs to be tracked it might be a good idea to add this to save future confusion.

also, sound is gone in GNGEO

I can also confirm that GNGEO has no sound anymore


Also, Liferea Feed Reader fails to launch now. Which I kinda really need since that is what I was using for pod/media catching, unless someone can suggest something else that works.

Sound was gone in HF6-RC, but has been restored in HF6 Final. Seems like the PND Updater is missing some file here as well, damn.


You can restore it from the terminal:

sudo cp ~/.asoundrc /etc/asound.conf

That should fix it.

Yes, that fixes sound for GNGEO for me at least. Great work as always ED


Now, all I need is a podcatcher or some sort of RSS reader/downloader that works. : )
