The Bodhi Team is excited to inform you that the official releases of the 64-bit BL7 rc (Ubuntu 22.04 base) are now available. There are three ISOs ready for download, which can be accessed at SourceForge. The three releases and the installed kernels are: - Standard: 5.15.0-75-generic
- HWE: 5.19.0-45
- s76: 6.2.6
The most significant change for the Beta Release is an updated version of the slick-greeter (version 1.8.1).
You can also read the changelog at www.bodhilinux.com/release/7-0-0/The s76 release is using System76's latest 6.2.6 kernel. Surprisingly for the BL-7.0 Beta ISO's, the s76 ISO was the most downloaded I still plan on creating a low-memory ISO before the final release. An AppPack version is to follow the final release of these ISOs, as is a Debian based 32 bit version for "legacy" machines. Please report any issues or comments here. NOTE: Escuelas Linux has reported to me that they use the 6.2 kernel on their latest release and "with kernel 6.2, the deletion of a big number of files fails when using an NTFS drive. It does not fail when using, say, EXT4 drives." This is using thunar or CLI for deletion. Also "I can confirm it is an issue with kernel 6.2 and not related with System76 patches. I downloaded the exact same 6.2.6 kernel version from TuxInvader PPA, and the issue is still there." I have not verified this on Bodhi but users of NTFS should be aware of this issue. Also, be aware I can do nothing about kernel issues. NOTE: The OS_prober feature is disabled by default in GRUB 2.06, meaning other operating system during or after installation will not be detected. This is an upstream change for security reasons. See this article to restore OS_probe if you need it. |

Will it be possible to upgrade the RC to the final release without reinstalling everything?

Yes all my BL7 ISOs have been designed with the idea that there is no reason to reinstall, just sudo update/upgrade  For testing purposes of the ISO itself and the installed version, clearly I prefer a reinstall. But for general usage it is not going to be necessary. |

I tested the BL70RC standard distribution (bodhi-7.0.0-64-rc.iso) in the Live mode. I choose the "Беларуская" (Belarusian) menu item in the Languages menu ( thanks Stefan) and see that the Moksha interface is not localized. The reason is that the Moksha language file enlightenment.po was not compiled to the file /usr/share/locale/be/LC_MESSAGES/enlightenment.mo in the distribution ISO root filesystem. Is it possible to fix that in the Release? |

For the record I mostly ignore the po file stuff and leave all that to the translators and Štefan. But the be.po file was broken (format specifications in 'msgid' and 'msgstr' for argument 1 are not the same) and "be" was never added to the po/LINGUAS file. I fixed the one error that broke compilation of be.po, but that file has a few more issues (according to poedit). None that stop it from compiling tho now. Not speaking the language I am not the one to mess with altering be.po ... Thanks for reporting this. This was a rather significant issue with our moksha package. |

Yea, just got here. Exactly, be.po is not added to LINGUAS. I focused on wizard menu and did not know there was also this problem with po file. Anyway it looks as fixed by Ylee now...

I see that you make many fixes in the be.po, thank you for this big work. But I checked this file before commiting on my BL70 installation and it was compiled without any errors: $ msgfmt be.po -o enlightenment.moYes, I don't use poedit, just got an template and filled it out. |

For a quick check of a PO file, I'd rather use a more robust command like: msgfmt -cvo /dev/null be.po I do trust Poedit though.  |

There is another problem: the Belarusian language item isn't displayed in the "Language selector" menu of the "Language settings" module. I pushed a request to add next line into e_int_config_intl.c: {"be_BY.UTF-8", "by_flag.png", "Беларуская"},But it seems that this is not enough. Because the Ukrainian language is already present there: {"uk_UK.UTF-8", "ua_flag.png", "Українська мова"},but its item doesn't displayed in the selector too. And possible there is an error in the Ukrainian encoding: it must be "uk_ UA.UTF-8" instead of "uk_ UK.UTF-8". |

And I see in your screenshot that Belarusian has also appeared in the Language selector. |
