Next Release

[kmoore134]

Hey guys! The feedback from 0.7.5 has been really good so far, found lots of bugs, and fixed some of them :) I've made some great progress this week, and wanted to let you know what i've gotten done.

* Fixed non-executable .pbi issues
* Enabled the cups daemon
* Enabled the SMB daemon
* Added full printer support to KDE
* Fixed issues adding new slices
* Fixed problems stamping MBR

Not bad for only a couple of days :)

Here's what i've still got on my plate for 0.7.6

* Try to get full samba support integrated into KDE
* Wrap up the USB auto-detection
* Develop an "Update" manager, so that you can upgrade your PC-BSD versions via the internet.
* Toy with the XF86Config setup script, so you can go to high higher res without manual tweaking
* Try to enable APCI properly, so when you shut down, the computer turns off on its own

Looks like it'll be a busy july 4th weekend for me. (Dang, now I gotta go buy a USB memory stick for testing also... ) :lol:

I hope you'll be able to do this, it would be great!!! No more editing files manually to get a higher resolution :D

Btw, i had this idea that (maybe this is too early but) how about "PC-BSD news" thread, where you could always tell what you have done, that thread could be updated weekly or later what you are comfortable of.


Only my 2 cents :)

great work kris!!!

and a news section would be great so you can post more tidbits :D

[pcbsdusr]

sorry, i posted twice..

[pcbsdusr]

Keep on going Kris! You are doing a hell of a job!

Nice Idea dean_fry, That would keep us aware of what problems have been ironed out and where we should focus. Maybe a PC-BSD Newsletter?

Cheers!

Very good, Kris, do you sleep at least?! :roll:

On a side note, did you have time to try installing PC-BSD on a computer with an Asus A7V400-MX motherboard? It doesn't seem to go. I get a black screen after clicking "Install using graphic mode".

Best of luck buddy :wink:
