ZevenOS-Neptune 1.9.9 is ready
Allgemein 08:00 PMThe ZevenOS-Neptune Team is pleased to announce the release of ZevenOS-Neptune 1.9.9.
This release comes with a couple of changes and new features. See the changelog for a full changelog.
We updated the Kernel to version 2.6.38.3 which comes with neat little features like better hardware support for wireless and the famous cgroups patch which brings more speed under heavy load. The underlying Debian Squeeze system was upgraded to Debian Testing (alias Wheezy) which will provide newer applications through the lifecycle of Neptune 1.9.9.
KDE SC 4.6.2 makes it debut in ZevenOS-Neptune 1.9.9 with lots of updates and the typical Neptune look & feel and a new default font, the Ubuntu Font.
For the sake of consistency we replaced Synaptic & Software Center with its KDE/QT based counterparts Muon & Kpackagekit.
Libreoffice replaces OpenOffice.org and the contact management software people was upgraded to version 0.3 which brings better vcard support and a new layout.
With Snapshot Manager we introduce a new cool feature which allows you to easily customize your live system and save the customization to a file that you can share with your friends & colleagues.
The Harddisk Installer has been rewritten and allows you to install ZevenOS-Neptune 1.9.9 faster than ever.

Kernel 2.6.38.3 is the heart of ZevenOS-Neptune 1.9.9. It provides the newest linux drivers and the cgroup scheduling patch which gives you more performance on heavy load. | ![]() |

ZevenOS-Neptune 1.9.9 ships with KDE SC 4.6.2. The Ubuntu Font is now the default font for all applications. KPackagekit & Muon provide packagemanagement and easy installation of applications. |

LibreOffice is the new default all in one office application. It can read & write OpenDocument Format aswell as Word, Excel & Powerpoint documents. It even handles importing & exporting PDF files. |
Snapshot Manager provides you with an easy to use customization utility for your live media. It allows you to install already existing snapshots or creating your own ones. Snapshots store customized live system configuration & apps in a read only compressed file. | ![]() ![]() |

Thanks I look forward to trying it out. The download is slow it is going to take a few hours. I really liked the older versions.
Friday April 29th, 2011 at 01:06 PM
At least, a Debian kde 4.6.2 distro.
This KDE is the best of 4.x, I will install zeven in my netbook.
Todavía espero una distro que sea full btrfs comprimido.

Try perhaps the torrent one or the speedier 3 parts 7zip archive (1&1 Server).
Friday April 29th, 2011 at 03:54 PM
Btrfs support is also build in with btrfs-tools 0.19

Where is the md5sum (or sha1sum) of the neptune199-kde-final.iso?
Friday April 29th, 2011 at 07:03 PM
You can find the md5sum here: http://www.wuala.com/Neptune%20Share/neptune199-kde-final.iso.md5/

Why don’t you just upload it to sourceforge? Download speed is very low with with your server.

Try torrent or the 3x7zip parts server. They are a lot faster.
Sourceforge needs approval and registration.

I very much like what I see in the “live” mode on USB but when I try “persistence” the boot process grinds to a halt at about 8 minutes and never does complete. This happens on both netbook (eeepc1000HE, atom 280, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD) and Acer Travelmate (duo core 2.27, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD). Md5sum checks out.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks, sanmik

Please try to boot without without the quiet and splash boot parameters that you need to remove in the boot menu after pressing TAB. This will give you debug messages and we hopefully an error message that can help us to find a solution
Monday May 2nd, 2011 at 12:52 PM
Hello,
sorry but I am unable to install it, on the English version asks for password before live mode and on the German version
there is a bug on the keaboard key map (z instead of y)have to use z to get y and vice-versa. Thanks gf.
Monday May 2nd, 2011 at 08:19 PM
Just type in live for password if it asks for password. Normally it should not ask for password.
And btw. when is it exactly asking for a password ?
Monday May 2nd, 2011 at 09:29 PM
Thank you for your reply. I removed quiet and splash boot parameters and upon booting Live (EN) got this error message. “Cannot mount /dev/loop1 (0: unknown) on /cow”. Hope this is helpful.

It seems to me that the live-rw persitency image was not fully created or formated.
How big is it ? Does it fit on your usb stick ? Notice that FAT32 does not support one file bigger than 4 GB in size.
Tuesday May 3rd, 2011 at 12:13 AM
I went with the default 512MB of persistence.
Truth to tell my machines had the exact same problem with Neptune 1.0.0 (I think it was) and it was never solved. So if I’m the only one with this issue it must be a weirdness in my computers.
I’m willing to keep trying to fix this if you have any other ideas.
thanks, sanmik
Tuesday May 3rd, 2011 at 09:14 AM
Then please try deleting the live-rw image on your usb stick and manually create one with the following commands executed as root (from the live system then, it should boot without live-rw) :
dd if=/dev/zero of=/live/image/live-rw bs=1M count=512
After that please execute:
mkfs.ext4 /live/image/live-rw
If it asked if you want to really format that file than agree.
After that you should reboot and try to boot with the persistency option again. It should work.
Wednesday May 4th, 2011 at 03:32 AM
Yay! That fixed it. Not only a great OS but great support!
Thanks, sanmik

Dedected is no longer supported in ZevenOS.
I guess the error might be due to an old version of dedected or an not really supported card.

Hello. I downloaded the ZevenOS 5. I will burn a CD. It boots up, the logo screen, then asks user and password. I tried “root” and other linux user / password, but I can not. Please help me.
Saturday March 30th, 2013 at 03:35 PM
You posted on the wrong article.
Nevertheless first try looking if the iso is correct with the md5sum. Normally it should autologin otherwise try user zevenos pw zevenos or xubuntu xubuntu
