Just booted the disc for the first time. Many things seem to work fine, smooth, plenty of power for the desktop anyway. BUT, some things are failing for me. Maybe I just need to learn, but my background is, since the 80s, years on an Amiga, years on a Mac 8500, 15 years on various Windows boxes, and have tried maybe a dozen Linux live discs. I could teach computers to most people.
1. It 'sees' my sound hardware but there's no audible output.
2. It 'sees' my 2 laser printers, Canon and Brother, but won't let me select one and print.
3. The upper-right red Close button on open windows does nothing, have to key Escape.
4. Several other mouse-selection issues. The cursor moves fine and opens windows but then won't select things (icons) inside the windows.
Unless I can fix those, Sabayon can't work for me. Now, onto the whining about optional software. Why am I forced to learn Entropy (or whatever is required) to just install and run Firefox, Thunderbird, SMPlayer and various other available-for-Linux wares? I downed FFox and then couldn't do anything with the tar. ETC.
16.11 Live CD failings for me
If you are new to Linux or new to Sabayon Linux and just not sure where to post, here ya go. Post without fear of being told to RTFM :)
