- Update to kernel 5.4.30
- Add OmniVision sensors (V4L2)
- Switch to Ungoogled Chromium Browser
- Fix: Mount 4 partition instead of largest (new: always search for largest partition)
- Fix: Hanging at the X server (if Xorg recognition is faulty), in such cases Xorg is started again with fbdev
- Fix: Disable installation on hard disk even with non-empty partitions (hidden partitions)
- Fix: No copying of the optional apps without installation on internal disk
- Fix: No network startup with unmounted cable and DHCP (default without assignment with Network Tool)
- New: Message when all services are started

Note: With Ungoogled Chromium, AVMultimedia now offers an open source web browser based on chrome technology that sends no data to search giants.

Again small fixes:
- Added: spelling checking (and hyphenating) for german, french/, italian and spanish
- Direct calling gimp, scratch, kdenlive and gcompris from console
- Klicking kdenlive project files opens Kdenlive

Support for V4L2 (usb webcams), switch from Iridium web browser to Falkon, and yes, finally flatpak repository for easier installation (including Gnome Software Center). Linux updated to 5.4.25.

Support for fast NVME disks (installation, throughput up to 4 GB / second), KDEenlive 19.12.2c with optimized rendering (about 50 percent faster). Extensively tested with Ryzen 3950X and Ryzen 3990X (256 GB RAM, 64 cores, 128 threads). Kernel 5.4.22.

Another new release brings support for BlueRay burning, including BDR-XL and M-Disc (100 GB optical discs). Just find the tool under Multimedia 'xfburn'. Enjoy!

P.S: If you are interested in all the basics about long-term archival, you find most about it in my blog: http://archivista.ch/cms/en/news/2020-i … sc-support (automaticially transleted from German original: http://archivista.ch/cms/de/aktuell-blo … c-support/

Changed lpr with cups_bsd for printing over command line, better start of old amd machines (ati instead of amdgpu).

No problem at all, but about breaking things, in Debian Beowulf, installing k3b breaks a lot of stuff and same for falkon web browser. Nevertheless you can partially install it (just don't save this apps), you just can do a restart and all the broken stuff is gone away.. For both, k3b and falkon it is a pain because they are very good apps (just does not work actually in Beowulf so far I can see).

Another new release.

- Now fully support of installation on empty harddisk in LEGACY and UEFI (tested with 14 TB disks)
- New debug mode (just add debug to the start screen) and you get a textual installation with all commands and 5 seconds break time (so you can read it) on every step. If you ad stop.x, you even can stop setup on a certain point
- In the old release we only did support first/second harddisks, now all harddisks are checked for valid booting device
- Added noatime flag, so it works again considerable faster

Enjoy!

P.S: If you wan't to see what is happening in pre-installation part, don't use stop.x, use stop1, stop2, stop3, stop4 and then have a look at the 106 line init sh script.

Unfortunatelly there was a bug in the last version. Starting the iso without uefi resulted in writing the avmultimedia mbr to the hard disk. Reported and reproduced result of this was a booting error from installed os. This is now corrected. Sorry for all (potentially) troubles. Thanks Martin for reporting this bug which was fixed in about 10 hours.

There is another new release. Switched to Kernel 5.3.16 and added support for running it in Hyper-V virtualization environment (yes, i know, it is Microsoft, but some of my customers use it).

Fixing a bug that was introduced by sizing down perl part of installer /install1.pl. User setted password was not loaded after restart, now this does work.

It was/is not the question if I like it or not. I just did put out points I did see. It is up to you what you do with it. But, if you have to add repository manually, I don't think this is a wise decision.

I have nearly every week an eye to other distros, especially if they are Devuan based. What I would wish to the Devuan project in gerneral (not to your project in special) is, don't be so 'technically'.

It might be that "my" way is too far away from standard distros (AVMultimedia has no setup at all), but I really think things should be much easier for people tu use Linux.
