Yes regards the Calamares issue I can confirm. I think this it's the same problem as before is doesn't work in either normal or troubleshooting mode. I have managed to get logs (xorg journal dmesg) but they don't tell anything as far as I can see. I am not sure also whether manner in which I am getting them is valid.
I have found one small issue with the live desktop. If you run kalarm it locks up the desktop. Switch to a virtual terminal and as root run "systemctl restart sddm" and you get the desktop back but kalarm not longer works. This may be because the pim server is not running so it all may work after a full install.
The second thing I found is that it is it's impossible to get a boot in live mode using virtualbox. It looks like the vboxvido kernel module is broken in some way as I get loads of kernel messages from it and the live system will not start. It works fine in troubleshooting mode. It's possible that the kernel module is not the latest VB version but I don't know for certain.
So far I have tested 64bit on two desktop machines and two laptops in live and all booted fine. That covers Intel and nVidia. I will set a up a couple of ATI boxes and see how they work. Then I will start on i586
So far apart from the Calamares install issue and the non-booting VB all is pretty good. There is just the minor issue mentioned above which I will checkout after a full install as it causes a lockup I think it has to be fixed if still present after install.
Best,
Colin
