Don't mix repros in Kev its in testing, that will only make it hard for the developers when you break things. Mixing repros on Parsix stable is not recommended unless you know what you are doing as things can break its down to you if you take that chance as you are adding software that is untested.
My thought is that one shouldn't complain to developers when one mixes repos (doesn't someone upthread have an Ubuntu repo in their sources.list? Talk about living dangerously) and things break.

OK, but IIRC the official "sources.list" for Boss also has the Debian testing repo in there, commented out just like it is in Kev.
Just curious to know if anyone's enabled it and sort of gone off on their own.

And please report any problems with Kev so as with previous releases kev stable works for most people when it is released hopefully in August.
Will do. So far, no problems other than a few weird-looking dialog boxes (and I initially thought that sound was borked, then realized that some idiot hadn't turned on the speakers  ). |

| Speaking from experience, I broke my Parsix to the point where I could no longer log in by enabling Debian's repositories and doing a dist-upgrade. That being said, I was happily mixing repos for over almost two years (from Parsix 1.0) without incident. I was using a Sidux kernel, EXT4 and myriad of bleeding edge packages without problems. But, all it takes is one errant package to hose the entire system. Sadly, i'm stuck using Ubuntu 9.04 currently (ugh) in the interim while waiting for Parsix 3.0 to go final. Then I'll do a fresh install of my favorite distribution. Do you want to end up like me? I doubt it. Don't mix repos. You've been warned. |

OK, thanks for the info.
(I'd tell you that I run Ubuntu on 3 machines and Ubuntu's actually pretty good, but I doubt you want to hear it. I've been running Parsix on what was supposedly a temporary basis since version 1 and it's gotten a permanent place on my PC.) |

I've upgraded my system to Kev yesterday. three problems now.
One:
while i wanna install "parsix-kernel" packages I get two error:
Quote:
parsix-kernel:
PreDepends: rt2860-modules-2.6.29-parsix-8 but it is not installable
PreDepends: broadcom-sta-modules-2.6.29-parsix-8 but it is not installable
Two:
Grub theme has gone!
Three:
After selecting 2.6.29-parsix8 from grub I get following kernel panic error:
Quote:
Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
But I still can run parsix with 2.6.26 kernel. |

| Their has been some radical changes to Gnome over the last year it seems less tolerant than previous versions prier to boss I used to do a lot of mixing of repros mainly Sid and Ubuntu but not its a big no no till Gnome stabilises its self. Have not used Ubuntu for a long time not since I installed Parsix, and of cause Arch Linux Insalled 2 1/2 years ago never done a reinstall thats the best thing with Arch there is always a way to fix it when it breaks and always a way to may things work if you are clever which i'm not. |

After this latest dist-upgrade we now have GIMP 2.6.6, which seems to run fine. "fusion-icon" is now being loaded upon startup. (Curious, I've never seen it in a completely unconfigured state before.)
During these dist-upgrades I'm frequently getting the error message
dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use '--print-architecture' instead.
Something's not quite right with samba but I don't know enough about it to describe the problem intelligently. I'll try to scoop up all the error messages, one of which is about a missing man page. |
