Issues related to the OpenFOAM CAE-Linux based live distribution

kanaris · June 15, 2012, 06:07

Hello and congratulations for creating the linux distribution!

Just a short technical issue: some laptops with ATI graphics cards might have some problems with extreme flickering. This is a bug on the 2.6.32 kernel and can be avoided using the boot parameter:
"radeon.new_pll=0"
just after the "quiet splash" parameters.
If it is possible, you could create an additional boot option on the syslinux configuration, for 'ATI cards', to avoid any problems during the workshop.

Hi Tomislav,

I am trying to login to my work network with the live distribution. However, I got an message like "Enter password to unlock your login keyring", and I don't know what to fill in here. Did I set some password without remembering, or was it already set?

I can't download the .iso, is there something wrong with the server? The URL http://merida.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/op...-CAE-Linux.iso gives me a 404.
