Some progress:

• apturl was fixed
• all the issues in the live-installer were fixed
• update-pack3 won't be added to this release (first because it's a new kernel, second because we're post-RC, so it's better to stay on a tested base which gives a maximum of leverage to users)

For reference sake, I'm waiting on the stable release of the Xfce edition for I continue development here. This .iso is based on the Xfce RC and I'm likely going to rebuild on top of the stable release using my notes and the bugs mentioned here.

Just thought I'd throw out the update.

Quick heads-up as I gathered a list of issues for LMDE 201108 RC:

<style type="text/css"> <!--{cke_protected}{C}<!-- BODY,DIV,TABLE,THEAD,TBODY,TFOOT,TR,TH,TD,P { font-family:"Liberation Sans"; font-size:x-small } -->--> </style>

Most of these will be fixed in the coming days and their fixes should find their way into the Fluxbox edition as well.

Ok all tested Hopefully i haven't missed anything else looks good great work Kendall

#036 AU install works so passing the test other options where listed on install

Looks like the desktop only goes haywire on my intel chipset with the logout dialog.

Noticed a bit of lag with opening the home folder when it searches for network.

#057 Doesn't Apply

#021 Login Manager doesn't look minty enough. May be due to issues that kendall is having with gdm3

#035 Doesn't apply

#028 Some ubuntu themes but all work.

#049 No desktop help

#40 Doesn't apply

#50 Files do not exist

#047 Java works but update avaliable, Flash Works, Quicktime Failed, WMV Failed, Silverlight Failed, OGG MP3, Theora and FLV Passed

Also the desktop goes haywire when i select quit and it brings up the logout dialog prompt.

It goes on an sideways slant and this happens to the wallpaper and any open windows, But the logout dialog works and looks great.

I will try and get the last tests done tomorrow.

Also the login screen looks like the theme has not applied correctly.

#046 prints to blank pdf like in xfce

#044 Had to manually select dvd in vlc after it directed me to the wrong path for the dvd. Dvd and menus work after that.

#031 apturl does not open

#024 Cannot permanently delete

I will try and test more soon

#018 Doesn't apply

#017 usb creator is not installed as with other versions

#015 Husse quotes not installed as is with other editions

#008 no fortunes installed as with other editions

Passed #003 and #004 due to the changes in plymouth with no branding

I should hopefully get a chance to test this today

Fixed.

Also, I incorrectly labeled this one as "Katya" as opposed to "Debian".

This is not yet 100% finished, however it's getting close. It's up for the purpose of general direction as well as hopefully some help with some bugs that I haven't quite worked out yet.

The good:

1. "Tap to click" is enabled by default. This has always been a big issue for me as I only use laptops.
2. The logout dialog is quite sexy.
3. The new menu seems to be working quite well.

The bad:

1. I still haven't figured out gdm3 configuration yet. The instructions over at the Debian website don't seem to be working out quite the way I'd like them to.
2. Some file associations aren't quite right yet.
3. There is a duplicate entry in the Thunar right-click menu regarding setting images as the wallpaper.
4. The menu doesn't seem to immediately work on a new install and you have to open a terminal and run "fm3" to get it. Doing "sudo adduser <user>" results in a correctly working menu. I haven't wrapped my mind around this one quite yet.

There are a few other bugs. If you can help me trace them then much love and much thanks. Anyway, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on the development thus far.
