With the roadblock install, the nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=640x480-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap items are cheats, the Kubuntu install isn't using any though. I wonder if that video=blahblah cheat works with M12?KrispyKritter wrote:...No cheats needed...

I tried that cheat code and it didn't work. I would expect this problem if I had a NVIDA card, but not with ATI. I am also surprised that the NVIDA people have not had any problems. If memory again serves me right the black screen usually would appear when the DVD first started loading and you could not even get to the boot screen.kmathern wrote:With the roadblock install, the nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=640x480-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap items are cheats, the Kubuntu install isn't using any though.

I see that see the Kubuntu install is using a 3.11 kernel, have you tried MX-14? It also uses a 3.11 kernel.
I'm a bit confused (sorry if I have missed some important announcement that explains it all, but I have tried and looked around): does that mean that M12 has been abandoned and replaced with MX-14? Will there be a KDE version of MX-14? Or is there hope and we should just lie low and wait for the real McCoy? Again, sorry if this is completely obvious to the oldtimers, but I have been waiting for the new version for what feels like a very long time...uncle mark wrote:Don't count on it.malspa wrote:Is there any M12 development going on that anyone's aware of?
Warren has communicated that Mepis Linux is not dead. At the present time he is involved in time consuming activities like making a living. He will from time to time publish package updates, but when a final release will be issued is unsure.pindar wrote:I'm a bit confused (sorry if I have missed some important announcement that explains it all, but I have tried and looked around): does that mean that M12 has been abandoned and replaced with MX-14?

Thank you, that explains the status. So I will patiently wait and see if M12 gets released, sooner or later...richb wrote: Warren has communicated that Mepis Linux is not dead.

In the mean time several users are using the latest M12 beta as their daily OS.
You can install KDE on it with a single click, but there are no plans (and no interest AFAIK) to do a dedicated KDE version.Will there be a KDE version of MX-14?
