Thank you very much, herby

Peter (and all). Big thanks from me too here in UK. Looking forward to having a play with final release at the week-end. teandtoast.

Peter,

I wanted to add to the chorus and say thank you for breathing life back into the DesktopBSD project.
Hopefully, there will be enough interest sparked by the new release that you might consider continuing development.
I have installed 20090902 and although my requirements are light (I don't need 3d graphics, for example.) all is working very smoothly.
Also, thanks to all who helped in the testing phase.

From down here in Florida, USA, thanks again... we love this operating system!!!

Congratulations!
Thank you for the excellent system.

upd: directory with version 1.7 on the ftp is not available
550 Can't change directory to /pub/DesktopBSD/Releases/1.7: Permission denied

Thanks for the congrats.

andytg: This is intentional to avoid any news posts as soon as the images are up without a proper announcement first (this was the case with previous releases). Mirrors are still in the process of catching up, so I think I'll release on Monday. If you can't wait until then, get the 20090902 snapshots, it's the same thing

jorge_: Like I already explained earlier in this thread, this won't work after an upgrade because as you noticed correctly, the link is put in skel and will have no effect unless you create a new user.

Thank you very much, I already downloaded from ftp://ftp.freepark.org/pub/DesktopBSD/r ... eases/1.7/

Thanks peter you've done a good job here, I'll make a clean install to fix this but I don't know why if I install the diablo plugin again and after ln -s the plugin to the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory it still does not work it should, but as I told you I'll install from scratch again to solve the problem.

Thanks all together, you did a great job.
There is still no announcement about DesktopBSD 1.7 RELEASE at the Homepage of DesktopBSD.net.

jorge_: You don't need to reinstall, you can just create a new user, but this should also do the trick:

I'll install in clean peter, for some reason when I did this I got file not found so I did an ls -l to this directory (dot.mozila) and found a symb link to the libjava plugin but the 64 bit version. In any case I thought, this could work I don't know so I did try to copy the file directly from the directory where the symb link comes from but guess what the file isn't really there and if it were it would be the 64 bit version, is really estrange, by the time you read this I'll have a clean copy installed but would be cool if you check this to see if it is an error from the installer.

Seems like the symlink points to the wrong plugin library on i386. I don't really think this justifies rolling out a new i386 image for the release, but I'll make a small script available for download that fixes this issue.

Thanks , I just installed in clean and same issue so I'll have to wait for the script , this is why I've been having problems with the plugin, sorry for detecting it till now .

You can get the update from here: http://desktopbsd.net/fileadmin/release ... te.desktop
The update process is described here (although it's really simple): http://desktopbsd.net/wiki/doku.php?id= ... gin_update

It will correct the plugin link for the logged in user and for all newly created users (in skel).

Did a clean install of i386 20090902 and am well impressed. Where do we start a new thread once we have left the snapshot phase?

Thank you peter I just ran the script and java plugin is working perfectly.
