Re: 64bit testing
For those who installed this on the beta Jaunty, did you use the crunchbang-installer-8.10.03.sh or the crunchbang-installer-9.04.01.sh?

Re: 64bit testing
As far as I know, you have to use the 8.10.03.sh because the 9.04.01.sh doesn't include anything yet and I am not sure thats for 64-bit (I mean its testing for the 32-bit script).

From what I can see the 9.04.01.sh script contains all that is necessary to set up a 9.04.01 testing box. The testing repo contains both 32 and 64 bit packages.

Where is this 9.04.01 script located? I have Jaunty working fine but I would rather have something to test 9.04 CB on, minimal Jaunty 64 and whatever there is for CB 64.
I view KDE like I view snow. It looks fun and marvelous, it's fun to play in, but after a while I just want someone to take it all away.

I used the 8.10.3 script... it was newer than the 9.04.01 script (at least it was a few days ago, I'm sure things are changing rapidly at this point).

Re: 64bit testing
Problem: Minimal installs dont like me...8 hours to download packages just to have the whole thing not work is not my cup of tea (it happened 3 times in 3 days)
Question: Is is possible to get a #! 9.04 iso? Or must I be a patient panda and wait for Phillip to get the "release" version out?

if it's the minimal cd part that's not working for you, i got a 8.10 CB installed using the CLI install from the Ubuntu alternate CD instead + the script.
i think it had most stuff on the cd.

Does it ever! Am enjoying 9.04.01 right now - faster than 8.10.03 without, it seems, some of the 'brittleness'. By that, I mean that Firefox doesn't crash (so far) and freeze the desktop (so far). Had a few repo issues during the install, but, as it turns out, rebooting my modem solved that problem. Even have all of my hard drives mounted and Sun xVM just rockets along. Yep, this is how my machine should run!

Re: 64bit testing
I may have to reinstall and try the new script, I updated useing the 8.10 script on jaunty. It'll be interesting to see the differences 
Wish they had included the 29 kernel in jaunty though since it fixes a sqlite bug that slows down firefox.
I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.
Re: 64bit testing
Just a question. Does #! 9.04 64bit have the "Create USB Start-Up" disk like Ubuntu has?
If so, someone could make a bootable image and then share it for people who have troubles.

No, but it is in the repositories (usb-creator is both the name and command). I have installed some gnome stuff so not sure but it doesn't require me to include any other dependencies.

I think Remastersys is the utility you're thinking of. Usb-creator is used to copy an existing .iso to a usb drive.
Remastersys is included in #! (at least it was in 8.10, not sure about 9.04 off the top of my head).

Re: 64bit testing
Guys, Hello to all.
First is first: congrats to all for the cool work!. I´m a noob in Linux (been a W 
nd 
ws guy till now) so forgive me if I ask something obvious.
I've been trying #! x86 in a VBox Virtual machine, when I saw the testing for x64 I just jumped on it and installed (all my boxes are 64 bits).
Everything went OK, I did the CLI with the ubuntu 8.10 alternate cd, and then run the script.
My only problem: conky does not work, when I try to restart screen flashes for a millisecond and then nothing.
-Any Ideas?
Other question, Ivé done it in ubuntu, but How Do I install Open Office (x64 off course) with menu integration in OpenBox?, Can anyone point me to a how to or tutorial please?
Agein: THANKS to all!!!

Re: 64bit testing
Installing OpenOffice under #! is the same (just download the x64 DEBs instead).
If you want an auto-updating menu, look here:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/faq#how … in_openbox
Otherwise you just add the menu items manually.

Run conky from the command line. It might have something to do with a line for a 2nd CPU in conkyrc.
Re: 64bit testing
OK, backing up my stuff right now. Too late to start installing, so I'll postpone that till tomorrow.
So, is there any more news whether the 9*.sh script is good to go for 64-bit install?
Oh, and a little question. I had to go through a whole bunch of misery to get my sound working with Skype on Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64. How are y'all's experiences with that in #!?

Min install = cli from alt cd

Re: 64bit testing
AFAIK CLI from alt CD is not MINI.ISO network install.

Re: 64bit testing
Well, congratulations on job well done! Installing went like a breeze. The script worked like a charm. I'm now testing to see if everything still works..
so far:
Audio playback: OK (headphone standard put to mute, my boxes are connected to that, scared me for a sec)
Video playback: flash (youtube) working perfect, DVD also fine, haven' t checked divx and the likes yet
Skype: microphone does not work...... probably some setting with alsa or the soundmixer. Haven' t figured it out yet.. Any help is welcome!
Videodrivers: where the ... is my ati control panel?? I want to set up my external monitor. (standard it sets it to clone)
Overall, I think I should be able to smooth these little things out. Congrats again!
Re: 64bit testing
Well, my two problems seem to be pretty persistant...
installing the latest Ati Catalyst drivers (9.4) doesn't give the control window either (this must me something silly, anyone now how to start that from the command line? It is not aticonfig)
I thought installing pulseaudio would do the trick for skype, but is not showing op as an option (not even in volume control)
Furthermore, when i save something on the desktop, it doesn't show up there, unless you browse there as you would with a normal folder. Is this the way it is intended in #!?

1. Why do you need to install the drivers? I have an ATI 3200 that was automatically detected and requested if I wanted to install the proprietary drivers. I did, I am not even sure if the Catalyst Control window works in linux? I gave up on ATI support a couple of years ago. Everything was fine OOTB except for grandr not saving my setup, I had to do that manually in order for my HDMI output to be reloaded each log in.
2. I don't use skype, dunno.
3. Yes that is the default behavior in #!, no desktop. Do a forum search on Desktop, there are a few threads that cover how you can set that up.

Re: 64bit testing
Thanks Kbang!
Well, actually without the Catalyst Control Center (as the GUI is called) I really don't know where/how to set my dual monitor up.... also, with the higher resolution thanks to the ATi drivers, the text of #! looks way too small, it is giving me headaches haha, anyone know where to set the font size?
For the rest.. the micro still doesn't work and i came across a weird bug... If I shut down (quit without saving, to be precise) the sound recorder, the 'taskbar' disappears!
No crashes or whatever.
