2xos 7.1 does not work on HP DC7700

[geoffreys]

The kernel panic issue is when detecting hardware?

What do you mean with Windows symbols?

Still not going smooth on DC7800
Version 7.0 was stabel, but have problems when connecting to Microsoft RDP gateway.

Is it possible to have the 7.1 RDP client in 7.0 ?

ekapco, can you give us a breakdown of what issues you are encountering on the DC7800?

[ekapco]

Sometimes kernelpanic (scoll lock/capslock lights blinking) when switching from 2X screen to 2xos7.1 screen.
Sometimes kernelpanic when it is busy with detecting hardware (progress bar).

When I use the Debug addition it always starts correctly so I can not get any info on the panic issue.

When I get Kernel panic and restart the machine, it usually starts normally.

If PC has been turned off completely with the shutdown it will give me the kernel panic again.

Using compact RC3, cause RC2 will not go at all and RC1 gives black screen during install.

Hi again ekapco. If the HP DC 7800 use Intel graphics, we encourage use of 2XOS R3 profiles. Are you using KVM switching or a USB installation?

[ekapco]

No KVM switching and booting from HD
As stated using R3

[geoffreys]

You say that if you add the "debug" boot parameter, the OS boots correctly. Right?
If that is the case we can try to load without the boot splash. This can be done by removing the "splash" parameter from the same line.

[ekapco]

How can I make that change permanent ?

[geoffreys]

If you have the terminal enabled, you can switch to VT2 and edit the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg and remove the splash parameter.

Please take me by the hand. not a programmer.

on boot use "e" ? then what

[geoffreys]

Sorry for not being so clear.

Follow these steps and you should do fine:
1 - Boot the 2XOS to get to the desktop. If you have problems booting, remove the splash parameter manually.
2 - When in the desktop switch to VT2 by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+F2 key combination.
3 - Type the command

Code: Select all

sed -i -e 's/ splash / /g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg

. This command should remove
and traces of the splash boot parameter from the grub config file.

OK thanks it worked.

It boots fine now.

Now let's hope I can find a solution for the login problem with the RDP client
