Ok, my connection sucks way to much to complete the upload to Sourceforge. Download the release candidate with Bittorrent now!
Going to bed – good night :)

My internet connection is working at 1kb/s or something. But I think Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 is ready! Reinstalling policykit fixed the permission problem.
19:32
Marie (gf) has a friend over and I had to set up the projector and stuff. Still working on the policy / permission problem…
17:47
I think this can fix the login problem:
chmod a+w /tmp
The problem with nm-applet is still there when installed though, so it has be fixed. When trying to start network-admin I get:
The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed to access the system configuration.
17:24
Been to the store and bought a pizza. Anyway, the problem:
When trying to run nm-applet on the livecd, it returns:
** (nm-applet:9592): WARNING **: <WARNING> nma_dbus_init ():
nma_dbus_init() could not acquire its service.
dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: ‘Connection “:1.86″ is not allowed to
own the service “org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo” due to security
policies in the configuration file’
When trying to log in after installation, I get this message:
View details (~/.xsession-errors file):
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup…
…
…
mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied
Anyone out there got any tips?
16:53
Nope, the permission problem is still there after installing. Crap
16:21
Seems we have a permission problem with the livecd user. While that sucks, it’s not going to hold us back from releasing. It may mean there’s no internet connectivity on the livecd. The permission problem is probably gone when it’s installed. I’m going to test that now. If it looks ok, I’m going to release a release candidate. If the permission problem or any other important bug can be fixed within 24 hours, the RC won’t go gold. If there’s no quick fixes, the exact same version as the release candidate goes gold.
15:58
The installation now automatically starts when booting the livecd. But I seem to have forgotten to add the notification area (where the battery applet etc are) or something’s wrong..
15:33
New problem: The livecd user have lost it’s permission to install. Google…
15:20
I’m now going to test it on my Asus Eee 701. I’m using the great unetbooin application by Geza Kovacs to move it to a memory card.

I know several people are following this post. So I made another post where you can contribute some of your time, if you’d like :) How to translate Ubuntu Eee into my language
15:05
Looks great in the virtual machine. The panel is all set up but the installation didn’t autostart. I tried starting it with
ubiquity
instead of
ubiquity –desktop %k gtk_ui
Let’s try again :) I’m also afraid that when the OS is installed, and it’s trying to start ubiquity it’s going to wait for the to time out, since it can’t find it, and there’s half a minute waiting. Which of cause isn’t ok..
14:14
Just woke up. Unfortunately, Deco’s wake up call didn’t wake me up. Marie (girlfriend) have made me coffee and here I am, in my bathrobe, ready to finish 8.04.1. I’m going to start by customizing the panels. Remove the bottom one and edit the top one.
