Ok, I don't know what's going on. I have forwarded port 6881 to my IP, but still no one is downloading and I have no peers.

Use a different port. Most ISP/Servers block port 6881 now. Also, you do know you must use a client that supports DHT right? Like uTorrent for example...

I'm seeding as well, but no one seems to be biting. Just an FYI, the torrent IS online, please use it so we don't put load on the servers.

Very odd, indeed. But this morning I saw it was fully downloaded for me, and available for others, but no one is requesting from my PC. No uploading. :unsure:

Knoppix and others are being uploaded, so not a port issue.

Now I'm a linux noob, but have tinkered in the past (as barney can testify) It booted OK, the wallpaper was not full screen (1280x1024) And I don't know if it is resizable yet. GIMP and ABI worked, firefox didn't.

I get the same issue with the wallpaper, it is only in the top left of my screen.

Also I can start Firefox, it just doesn't connect to the internet for some reason.

I haven't been able to boot this yet (I am at work), but if this distro uses feh for the images, it should be a matter of making sure that fbsetbg specifies to stretch the image to fit the user's selected resolution.

If someone could run fbsetbg -i, it should tell you some information on the best wallpaper setting app found on the system.

Ok, I ran fbsetbg -i and got the following:

display doesn't set the wallpaper properly. Transparency for fluxbox and apps like aterm and xhat won't work right with it. Consider installing feh, wmsetbg (from windowmaker) or Esetroot (from Eterm) and I'll use them instead.

Sounds like a better image-processor is needed.

Can you apt-get install feh? Not sure if the repos are set up to allow this or not (heck, it is a beta LiveCD) :p

But it would be nice to include feh or esetroot for this on future releases. :yes:

Hey,

Your fine then. If there was a port issue then you could not download either.

Well, I've uploaded over 4GB so far. So I know it works fine... And like you said, you downloaded the entire thing without issue. :) But yeah not that many people are downloading it now.

Any who, at the moment there are three other seeders and only 1 peer, whom is not connectible. If your not connectible you will not be able to download from me or anyone else who is behind a router.

Here is how to test if your connectible:

http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=53346

Of course replace the port part of the url with the port you use. If you are not connectible then most likely either your firewall is blocking connections or your router is. If you have a router then you must forward the port(s) you use for torrents. Here is how:

Take Care,

Will

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By Sekyal · Posted

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
