SliTaz IRC

[13:10] john3voltas: hey guys

[14:17] dlo: hi john3voltas

[14:59] john3voltas: sorry, for taking so long. long talk on the phone...

[15:00] john3voltas: anyways, i'm trying to install slitaz on a virtualbox vm on a windows 7 host

[15:02] john3voltas: slitaz's iso boots up fine and i can work with it but when i install on a vm disk everything seems to work fine but when slitaz's vm boots up i get syslinux boot menu saying it can't find vesamenu dot something

[15:03] john3voltas: the vm won't boot and keeps outputing the same message. i tried the boot option 'slitaz' and it actually booted but with some error messages and it won't go into xorg

[15:03] john3voltas: it stays on bash login. i can login with tux/root fine but can't go into xorg

[15:35] dlo: error message?

[15:49] john3voltas: nope. just the cannot find vesamenu.c32

[15:49] john3voltas: gotta go pick up my daughter

[15:49] john3voltas: be back later today

[15:49] john3voltas: thanks in advance

[16:46] n-iCe: by the way, let me checck the forum, and see if they answered me

[16:48] n-iCe: they have not answered

[16:55] dlo: slitaz is not a really moving distr

[16:59] n-iCe: its really lightweight

[16:59] n-iCe: I like it

[17:08] dlo: me too

[17:08] dlo: but the devs are too much lightweightt

[17:11] n-iCe: I see

[17:11] n-iCe: do you know any other distro?

[17:11] n-iCe: like slitaz?

[17:11] n-iCe: well supported?

[17:15] dlo: no

[17:15] dlo: i use slitaz since 2010

[17:16] dlo: and it really worth it

[17:16] dlo: i just know it seems to be no distro in version 6 would be released

[17:17] n-iCe: where are you from

[17:19] dlo: fr

[17:32] john3voltas: dlo: you mean that development has ceased?

[17:32] john3voltas: the rc4 iso i downloaded is from may this year

[17:34] john3voltas: the error message i get after installing is right at the syslinux bootmanager

[17:34] john3voltas: it says 'Could not find kernel image: vesamenu.c32

[17:35] john3voltas: after this it keeps retrying and outputting the same message over and over

[17:35] n-iCe: well I installed slitaz

[17:35] n-iCe: Im happy with it

[17:35] n-iCe: problem is cannot set latin american spanish mexico keymap

[17:35] john3voltas: if i try boot option 'slitaz' it can boot but no Xorg

[17:35] dlo: john3voltas: not really; christophe lincoln, slitaz's creator, left one or two years ago.. a team is now developping sltiaz, but the matter is between the team and the community.. they aree not everyday on the forum or listening quality problems

[17:37] john3voltas: dlo: slow moving...how fast do they address security vulnerabilities?

[17:47] dlo: john3voltas: i dont know i dont check that

[17:48] john3voltas: yep, in this day and age where we get ransomed for our data, i'd say that fast security fixing is a must have on any system/OS

[17:49] n-iCe: so

[17:49] n-iCe: is slitaz actually being updated or not

[17:50] dlo: it is

[17:51] dlo: rolling is weekly updated i think

[17:51] dlo: check on slitaz.org

[17:51] n-iCe: I use rolling

[17:51] dlo: i'm not a spokesman :)

[17:51] n-iCe: I feel the navigation slow in midori

[17:51] dlo: use tazweb or chrome

[19:22] n-iCe: john3voltas: how do I install chrome
