Hello,yesterday I participated in the testing of release live DVD images for the old i386 architecture.
Unfortunately, I could not test the KDE live image due to getting a black screen (with movable mouse cursor) on the installed as well as live disk. Later, I tried the DVD on another i386 machine and this time the GUI worked. I also tested the Calamares installer and although installation took very long by modern standards :) (~2.5h) it worked successfully. The only (minor) issue I experienced was that during the installation, KDE's lock screen (?) kscreenlocker_greet would sometimes start causing a black screen similar to the one experienced before on the other machine. This could be fixed by interactively switching to a VT and killing the kscreenlocker_greet process.
I currently keep my notes of the tests including screenshots at https://masysma.lima-city.de/37/debian_i386_installation_reports.xhtmlHaving newly gained access to the Debian Wiki (thanks again :) ), I imagine it would make a lot of sense to move all these records to the Wiki? Are there already pages about installation walkthroughs "by screenshots" that I could add to? Are there suggestions for the names/paths/structure under which such pages might best be created?
My first idea would be to create a subpageTeams/DebianCD/ReleaseTesting/Buster_r8/1105a and put all the screenshots from that test as well as hardware details there, then create a similar page Teams/DebianCD/ReleaseTesting/Buster_r8/1105c etc. I could link these pages from the overview table at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianCD/ReleaseTesting/Buster_r8This is just a basic idea though and I am happy for any better suggestions or comments.
Thanks in advance Linux-Fan öö
