[OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive 14.0 status: alpha1

[Seth G]

Hi,

A few more notes. I'm not sure if this is the best place to add these - but it can serve as a reminder until separate issues are created in TRAC if required. 

1. The VM crashed several times starting up with the ISO. This was resolved by setting Settings > System > Processor > Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V. 

2. Any sudo commands return the following warning: "QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'"

I'm not sure there can be much done with this according to the link https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/382789/qstandardpaths-xdg-runtime-dir-not-set-defaulting-to-tmp-runtime-root-when

3. Running: "sudo apachectl -k graceful" returns the following warning:

Apache Configuration Error AH00558: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name

Possible resolution at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35340342/179520

4. GeoExt quickstart tested and works fine (a few doc changes to be added due to LeafPad -> FeatherPad). 

5. MapCache default demo service is broken due to missing Postgres support. Issue created upstream at https://github.com/MapServer/mapcache/issues/240


Regards,

Seth
