Updated ISO

Locutus — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 14:31:00 -0000

Do you have any intention of updating the ISO ? From reviews I've looked at you distro looks very promising but I'm a bit concerned with the ISO being over a year and a half old. Thanks

Hi Silent Robot!
Excuse me if I write in this topic but you mentioned this thing and it worried me about installing Salient os on my computer...
You say we must have a GPT partition table to install successfully. I Have a Windows installation that I want to keep, but I don´t know how to figure out whether my partition table is GPT or not...
Could you help me? Thanks!

No SDA partition

Hi, I´m new at Salient Os. I´m tryng to install it but when the installer comes to the partition choosing, only the USB drive with Salient iso is present...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Steam games not running after 12/21/2021 updates

found the culprit AMDVLK 2021.Q4.3 . Downgraded it to the Q4.2 and everything works again. This driver and the gamemode unlock the performance of my 6900xt card. I just add gamemoderun %command% to the start options of the game and the 6900xt runs great. Without gamemode the card stays in a reduced mode.

Downgraded all the Mesa, Xorg, Vulkan packages but still does it. The 3 games I play in Linux are PGATour2K21, Perfect Golf, and Pinball FX3 and they all do the same- show I'm playing but are never on screen then my status goes to Online.

Steam games not running after 12/21/2021 updates

Sam Appleton — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 18:27:35 -0000

After running the updates on 12/21/2021, any Steam game I try to play shows it's loading, shows that I'm playing it under my name on the Friends window but never loads on the screen and then the status under my name in Friends goes back to Online. Also in Pamac, Preferences there is no text in any of the boxes. Not sure if all this is a Vulkan issue, GTK, ? Running a i9-9900k, 6900XT video card.
Below is what the View History in Pamac show was updated on 12/21

Hi, Pamac doesn't appear to be present on install and not on the live version either; I followed the instructions on updating and that failed too...

i'm still working through the configuration files to see where, if it is my end, and Calamares configuration to see if a regression has crept in. I will notify as soon as i have a solution.
