Test report Freia netinstall 20260819

Is my second test in a VBox VM. My setup: German language, keyboard, timezone, expert install to cli with sysvinit, luks encrypted. Manual installation of Cinnamon DE on X11 w/o recommends to reduce the usual bloat and to get a system with that sw I like and need. I am using my notes so the result is mostly reproduceable.

Installer: no comments

German language in DE wasn't set: fixed.
Time zone not set: problem still present. There is a discussion ongoing on github LinuxMint/Cinnamon #13922. Fixed locally by installing ntpsec.
Call up of several graphical applications on the DE only worked once (bug #972): solved by adding accountservices to cinnamon as a dependency (upstream).
syslog-ng installed now, solves bug #973. I have to have a look at logrotate on the next ISO.

So far so good, no further comments.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your work.

Testing the 20260903 iso at first glance shows no new topics. logrotate is present.

Re: Test report Freia netinstall 20260819

I see some strange characters in the terminal (I use xfce4-terminal). I can't remember if I saw them since I run Freia on a VM.

I haven't tried with another terminal. I usually have only one installed.
One question, please, regrading the forum usage. Can I attach images from my local storage to a post?
