These are the release notes related to the KXStudio 12.04.1 Release, based on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.
We recommend you to take a look at the Ubuntu's 12.04 release notes too, here.
(Read the 'Kubuntu' notes if you use KDE, 'Xubuntu' for XFCE and so on).

KXStudio 12.04.1 Live-DVD Notes

• The live session user name is "kxstudio" and has no password.
• Because Carla is still unfinished, FeSTige is currently on the DVD (and thus in the default install).
  This is only temporary, FeSTige is no longer being developed and will be soon replaced by Carla functionality.
• Sometimes the keyboard layout is not set-up correctly on the live session. This can be manually fixed by running:
  setxkbmap pt (replace 'pt' by the relevant keyboard layout/language).
• The guitarix version included in the DVD has CPU optimizations enabled and may not work on older systems.
  This can be fixed by updating its package during the live session.
• The list of packages installed on the Live-DVD is available here for 32bit and here for 64bit.

Current 12.04.1 Notes

• The Carla tool is unfinished, and as such it will show a warning every-time you start it.
  We're working hard to make it complete and stable as soon as possible, so stay tuned.
• Only KDE4 is officially supported now. XFCE will also work but your experience may not be as great.
  Other desktops are unsupported at this point.
• Ubuntu is focused at PulseAudio and doesn't provide good raw/ALSA mixers by default if you're Desktop is not KDE.
  On such cases you should disable the PulseAudio mixer and use another tool (such as kmix, qamix, volti or alsamixer).
  You may need to reconfigure the multimedia global shortcuts to use the new mixer
• Some applications and websites don't work nicely with dark themes, which KXStudio uses by default.
  This is not a bug in the theme(s) but rather upstream (ie, app and website authors).
  We encourage users to report such issues upstream so they can be fixed for everyone using dark themes.
• Synaptic is now used for handle package management in KXStudio, and as such users won't receive update notifications anymore.
  Users should open synaptic and do system updates on a regular basis.
