Aramo ISO Beta 6 (Mar 07 2023)
Hello again people,
So yet another ISO build, and more news, now this Beta 6 could be easily the first RC, maybe a RC0 if you will, but since we have not explicitly set it to be a RC, let me extend the Beta numbering just a bit longer.
This ISOs set includes several updates and fixes, also a lot of work into the improvement of AMD video cards resolution, while we have found some AMD hardware to be troublesome to boot on livesystems, none the less once installed they will boot and display correctly, this requires more investigation on the boot process.
----
IMPORTANT NOTE: You'll see that at
there is a directory: ssh-key-test-do-not-use/.
This iso image is used to debug the previously mentioned phenomena, it has ssh and ssh keys already preloaded, so please unless you are helping debug some hardware do not use this ISO.

- aramo archive cleaning from old packages - thanks for the reminder Simon

I'm trying to start the Trisquel Mini 11 live ISO beta 6, and I'm getting a '/casper/vmlinuz: file not found' error at boot.
I am getting a 112 MB file, which may partly explain the problem.
Ahh, you are right, I didn't even look at it. Now I'm a little embarrassed.
Just freeze yourself for a short while and restart as if nothing happened, as computers do whenever they feel embarrassed.
How long do you think I should freeze? This is not a lot of fun.
Well, RC1 is now available, you should unfreeze and try it.
There's a problem with the certificate.
"Failed to fetch https://mirror.operationtulip.com/trisquel/packages/dists/aramo-updates/InRelease Certificate verification failed: The certificate is NOT trusted. The certificate issuer is unknown. The certificate chain uses expired certificate."
Could this be a mirroring problem? I am not getting any error with the ftp.acc.umu.se mirror.
"Honey - does this mirror make my certificate look fat?"
'Main Server" and the Swedish mirror (Academic Computer Club) seem to work with no issues. I have no idea where that tulip thing came from. It was auto-selected. Changing server solved the glitch.
Would you consider adding the minisign package to the repository?
I was hoping that T11 would be usable on my Thinkpad A285. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case. Booting, I get...
error: file: "/casper/vmlinuz" not found
allow magic is broken at 0x45a30500: 459bb840
Aborted. Press any key to exit._
...then it boots regardless, but the resolution is confined to 1368/1366 x 768.
The machine has AMD Ryzen 5 pro 2500u Radeon vega 8 graphics.
On my Thinkpad L470 (Intel), Trisquel 11 installs and works just fine.
