Wondering..when I've booted up KNOS 9 RC 32 bit I've seen two different looking desktops. One has 4 icons located on the left side and there isn't a reset flash icon. The firefox browser home paged to it's traditonal start page with google search. The other had only one icon and there WAS a reset flash icon. Firefox homepage was the KNOS project now. Any idea what's going on? The second desktop has shown itself only once. Can't seem to replicate again.

Any idea what's going on? The second desktop has shown itself only once. Can't seem to replicate again. Sounds to me as though somehow the KNOS desktop files failed to load somehow on that boot either because of a read problem from the disk or somehow the machine ran out of memory loading it. That's the last thing to load up. Could have been some dirt on the disk as all of that desktop stuff and the settings are the last thing to be loaded after everything else. KNOS will not load any files that don't pass its integrity check, but the error would only appear on the bootup screen and in the system log. Those desktop icons that would have appeared are default ones that we suppress in our regular desktop, but absent the configuration file, KNOS would end up displaying gnome's default icons including an (empty) home directory, desktop directory, trash and the fourth one would be the boot disk. The applications would also come up in their "default" (just installed) mode also. Dunno what would have caused it to fail to load though but there wouldn't be an error other than in the diagnostics log. But my guess is that it was a bad load ... |

So, the desktop that loads only one icon and the clear flash reset is the desktop that should be loading. And, that is the desktop that only has loaded once. Hmmmm..not good..will play with it some and perhaps re-burn the iso to dvd. Would diagnostics be helpful?

Hmmmm..not good..will play with it some and perhaps re-burn the iso to dvd. Would diagnostics be helpful? I'd definitely want to see the diagnostics from one of those failed bootups just to see what happened. If you can send them when that happens, I'd love to see it! We can be certain that the ISO file itself is good or there would have been complaints about errors unpacking it, so no worries there. Either there's some dirt or a scratch on the DVD right where the configuration file is (it's at near the end of the spiral there at the outside of the data recording) or it's a bad burn somehow. The normal KNOS should have just the "Trash" icon on the desktop along with our logo for the background and of course all the proper toys up on top. Somehow the configuration file didn't pass muster and so KNOS bailed on loading it and I'd love to see what happened and where. There should be an error "6" against "cd0" load somewhere in the diagnostics along with exactly why. So those diagnostics would be helpful indeed. EDIT: No need to do those diagnostics for me ... spotted the error on the one you sent about the sound card. You definitely have a bad DVD burn there, proof was in the diagnostics you already sent: Mar 13 18:15:54 KNOS-32 kernel: (cd0:ata1:0:0:0): SCSI status error
