Lucid Lynx Alpha 2 Released

[Tatty]

I was told that the removal of HAL means that there is no more automount.

Please tell me that this is not so.

HAL is being replaced by devicekit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeviceKit

Things will still automount, it is just that HAL has been largely superseded by other packages, and the last functions which HAL was still needed for have been rewritten as devicekit.

Now I've wasted 2 CDs and a few hours of time. A2 386 Live does nothing, A2 386 alt gives me the install, boots to black screen, hear bongos, type name return, type password return, get music, black screen.

Noone has commented on my problem. Should I just wait for the RC and see if I waste another CD?

Purchase cd-rw
No more wasted cd. It works good for me. Every new release I update all my CDs with different versions.

Havent used CD's in ages. Found this guide (http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB) on how to make a USB-Pen where you can just store the iso's and update grub.cfg to make them bootable.

I'm surprised how stable the current alpha versions are compared to 9.10's alphas. Keep up the good work!

i was poking around looking at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-2/ and other pages, trying to find the minimal. is there no minimal in alpha and beta stages? when does the minimal usually show up? or did i overlook it?
what'd be the nearest to what i'm looking for? alternative cd?

It looks like only releases have mini.iso. Try looking around here.

Maybe for you.

This one just hung again today, all updated to the latest.

It uses intel (ever hear of Intel? must be some small unknown company with few products out ...) video graphics, the only way it runs at all is with "nomodeset" on the boot linux line, and with xorg.conf "vesa".

Between Compiz changes for Intrepid and KMS things have been pretty "unstable" for my various intel and ati pc's.
