 611 2014-03-172017-08-25Bug Report Not Correct Russian Encoding Set in Topaz 2.0 stable Closedgennie
100%
Task Description

Hi Team,

Thanks a lot for great work of art and development!
There is however a critical bug for Russian l10n: if one chooses Russian from the initial boot menu of Topaz 2.0 stable, the encodings for NTFS become look like this: ru_RU.KOI-8.utf8 and because there is no such encoding set, all those partitions must first after booting in become unmounted (as the distro mounts them automatically which is great, but sadly not in this error case), then the encoding for ALL ntfs partitions in /etc/fstab must be manually changed under root to one of the normal one, like ru_RU.utf8 (I always just deleted that obsolete KOI-8 records), and then become again mounted normally.
This bug also causes an error or a couple of them during the boot-in process, and definitely prevents users from adequate access onto their ntfs partitions, as naturally all Cyrillic chars become unavailable, and mount problems, etc.

Just to mention: when the world does already have UTF, national encodings look as obsolete and as odd as using the sudo scheme while I totally agree with your philosophy of “if you want to become root, simply type “su -”, enter password and become root”.

The bug spoils everything equally out of a live CD or a live USB stick.

Just to notice: KOI-8 as a Russian national localization encoding is almost not used anywhere by now (March 2014). UTF8 has already for pretty long been a recommended and much more effective encoding set to properly map and operate over Cyrillic chars. The great example of simple UTF8 implementation of l10n is in a commercial by now live CD/USB distro of PartedMagic.
Thus a question: is it posssible to get a rebuilt version of the same Topaz 2.0 or much better a newer stable bootable elive system with the described bug fixed?

Thank you!

PLEASE be describable, clear, and direct. Think that we need to understand, found, and solve the bug.

Remember to set the Due in Version box into the next stable version number.

Thank you

100%
Task Description

Hi,
I am using elive_2.1.58_alpha_hybrid from live CD (not installed)

I want to kick the pre-installed chromium browser as it not usable with this lot of annoying ads.
So I remove it using synaptics, but df or free displays even more RAM in use, so I do not know whether it is really gone.

Then I can install iceweasel (or iceape) using synaptics and they are working fine also with noscript.

Would it be possible to pre-install iceweasel or iceape instead of chromium?

3.0 Task Description

Seems like wifi doesn’t automatically connect when i come back from suspension and im in another location (and I enable the wifi power-button later too), i need to open the internet configurator emodule for to start/open the Network-manager applet (note that by default is removed in order to save some resources consumption and memory usage.

The question is... do we need this nm-applet running all the time so that the network will be correctly connected/updated all the time? this sounds for me non-sense since there’s a daemon of NM, the applect should be only for manual selection or configuration of things, otherwise a daemon should works a daemon.

It happens to you too ?

 607 2013-05-312017-08-26Bug Report e17 Menus Freezes after Wizard (not solved) Closedthanatermesis
100%
3.0 Task Description

Lastest e17, after to finish wizard go fast to the applications menu and scroll it, e17 freezes

This bug reported by AlexAnteMachina has nothing to do with composite, not even with vbox, I tried it in laptop and e17 simply gets frozen, seems like X11 is died, very strange bug! even with my libs updated without the optimize options (please somebody confirm that we have debug messages now), there’s simply no way to get a backtrace because everything is blocked (well, you can kill X11, but you lose everything)

Maybe there’s not even needed to select German language, it looks like an efreet bug


This is another bug, but seems like caused by the same reason, sometimes, and just sometimes, e17 starts looking like this (some hang in the startup of efreet, or uncomplete or similar, idk)
http://main.elivecd.org/tmp/enlightenment/shot-2013-06-01_22-24-45.jpg

A restart of e17 will solve the problem, but is not a good way to start e17 of course


Another bug: if you install eltrans (here is elive in version 2.1.40), and you try to open the menus, it becomes frozen

Task Description

Hi there,

1st I cannot set the Due in Version box into the next stable version number.

So anyway- This is a freshly purchased, fully installed Topaz from 1st April 2013, running on a IBM T42 1.7 ghz P4 Pentium M processor with 1gig ram.

System runs great except - It fails to shutdown correctly at every option available.

Message reads ‘Killing remaining processes’ and just hangs.

It is marked as Critical severity, due to the fact I am crashing heads on hard power off, although that may not be critical as far as you are concerned, this is my last ide laptop drive of 250gig and I don’t want it toasted.

Thank you

Iceweasel browser will not open email with hotmail.com. Hotmail.com says outdated and errors with mismatch tag. Tried to upgrade with synaptic package manager but synaptic package manager error message when reloading update lists and firefox is not available. Old versions of firefox (as in Mint 8 or other old linux distros) continue to work in Hotmail but iceweasel errors. Google Chrome does not offer add-ons that Firefox offers such as download helper so is not a good iceweasel replacement. I recently just paid for elive 2.0 and am facing errors with it being outdated. William

smbmount is required for smb-browser, but the package smbfs is not available in debian wheezy right now, i’m not sure why, maybe is replaced by the package cifs-utils, or maybe it enters back in the future (release of wheezy stable), in any of the cases i leave this report opened to know that something needs to be fixed around :), which means adapt smb-browser to the new tool or get some kind of port

PS: in any of the cases, smb-browser is not a strict requirement for Elive since thunar is able now to browse samba networks in a friendly way

100%
Task Description

Problem: BRASERO wil NOT burn dvd
the Burn button, the Number of copies button, and the Properties button are all grayed out and can’t be clicked on.

Detail:
Using Topaz on an Athlon 1700+ with 1GB RAM & Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive:
When I try to burn an .iso on a dvd, a “Blank DVD+R in Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A” shows in Select disc to write to.
Below it it says Size: 4.4 GB free & Status: the medium can be recorded.
Image Path: shows a burnable dvd .iso (I have burned via growisofs as root) and Image type: let brasero choose
BUT: the Burn button, the Number of copies button, and the Properties button are all grayed out and can’t be clicked on.
Thinking it to be a permissions issue, I su to root in a terminal & then ran brasero from the terminal. Still nothing.

I have been forced to install k3b on Elive’s beautifully clean system with the TONS of kde dependancies only to burn dvds. It of course works perfectly - k3b ALWAYS runs perfectly. But it shouldn’t be necessary.

Luckily my donated computers have never had a DVD burner yet. But it will be a show stopper if I get one since brasero will NOT work for me.

 589 2010-10-072017-08-26Bug Report e17 not filling/stretching on Virtual workspace Closedshe_died
100%
Task Description

My screen resolution is 1440×900, but in xorg.conf I have ‘Virtual 1500 900’. (Some vncviewers issue warnings when width is not visible by 4 iirc)

The default theme without ecomorph puts up a white vertical strip on the right side, like a margin, but my windows can overlap there, in that area. The pager, on the top righthand corner, still ends at 1440, like it cannot go any further. The artwork/default background, also stops at 1440. I *do* know that Esetroot can stretch to the very edge at 1500 because my transparent terms still show the artwork underneath.
If I use ecomorph, the white strip will be there, quite possibly on all 4 sides of the cube. I have an nvidia GeForce 6200 and the startup process in livemode autoselects the newest drivers for me. It is not a showstopper, as I could alwasy stay at width 1440, but I am surprised that stock e17 does not recognize the extra space.
