Task Description

From the dock (shortcuts), and click-screen menu, clicking to open folders/directory crashes the whole system back to the login screen. Logs in fine, then repeats when attempted. Besides terminal, I have not been able to successfully open it. It is fully updated, which had to be done in terminal as the software centre would not execute “Restart & Upgrade” after the download.
I am running Retro in Gnome-Boxes before going to metal. Everything else has seemed to be working as expected.

Once the download is done, it seems the ISO just holds 15 k of files, hence it is impossible to install anything.

Task Description

In the stable version the computer automatically suspend / hibernate on low battery, I think we don’t have this feature in new versions of Elive since we don’t use e17 here, so implement this feature, using:

/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/auto-hibernate.conf

TODO:
* use elive-pm tool
* feature elive-pm to create a temporal swap file if there’s no swap partition
* auto-detect we are not using the E17 (or other) feature
* what if we are in live mode?
* what if battery doesn’t works (dead battery, wrong number, or always to 0)

Task Description

This is on 3.8.20 Buster based installation.

After a reboot, Elive updates and ….. offers to run browser from RAM. As the machine is low on RAM, I opt ‘cancel’ but the script runs anyway. There’s no way to cancel other than NOT selecting a browser to alter.

When starting from the commandline the script does quit immediately using the zenity ‘cancel’ button.

Elive needs a power management configurator for things like:

- behaviour for LID, autodetect also if the HD is mechanic in order to tell the user the dangers of keep runing the computer with the lid closed using those disks
- cpu speeds
- others?

0%
Task Description

I’ve just installed Elive 3.0.6 on an old Mac Mini (Core2Duo).
Since I want to make use of it as a media center, I connected to my TV. Because of the TV’s overscan function I cannot see the edges of the screen. :-/ When trying to start “Screen settings” I get two dialogs before nothing further happens:
1st:
Information
Use the next tool to configure your screens. If you want that Elive use it when starting the system you need to save the configuration.

There’s just an OK button, I click it:

2nd:
Question
You don’t have saved any configuration, so Elive cannot use it to remember your screens setup. Do you want to try again? You need to select the option to ‘Save As’ and type a desired name in the default location.

I can click No|Yes but whatever I do that’s it. No Screen setup window pops up.

When I manually start “Screen settings” from command line using “elive-multiscreens” I get the following python stack trace after clicking OK on the first dialog:

File "/usr/bin/arandr", line 42, in <module>
  main()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/screenlayout/gui.py", line 318, in main
  force_version=options.force_version
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/screenlayout/gui.py", line 159, in __init__
  self.filetemplate = self.widget.load_from_x()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/screenlayout/widget.py", line 93, in load_from_x
  self._xrandr.load_from_x()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/screenlayout/xrandr.py", line 150, in load_from_x
  o.modes.append(Size(int(a) for a in d.strip().split(" ")[0].split("x")))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/screenlayout/auxiliary.py", line 53, in __new__
  arg = tuple(arg)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/screenlayout/xrandr.py", line 150, in <genexpr>
  o.modes.append(Size(int(a) for a in d.strip().split(" ")[0].split("x")))

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘1080i’

I’m able to circumvent the error by exchanging line 150 of with these lines:

              try:
                  o.modes.append(Size(int(a) for a in d.strip().split(" ")[0].split("x")))
              except ValueError as e:
                  print("Error on parsing screen sizes.", e)

After that the “Screen Layout Editor” opens and shows my display configuration.
Unfortunately there’s no easy way to just circumvent the TV’s overscan.

Please let me know if you need any further information on that issue.

Task Description

I tried to update my 3.8.12 64-bit beta installation with the 14 updates in “Software 3.30.6”. That fails.

[I do not appear to be able to upload an image file and hence cannot paste the screen snapshot I took.]

The message (in a semi-transparent overlay window) indicated:

Unable to download updates:

“OK” I said to myself, “I should be able to download the 3.8.14 64-bit beta ISO and re-install.” That I do not seem to be able to do without coughing up more money for the download.

Task Description

Hello,

I got this error message while using elive-health from command line :

find: paths must precede expression: `/home/jack/.local/share/Trash'
find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate `-type'?

I found out that a ‘find’ command at line 100 of this script was incorrectly formatted, it showed :

find -type f "$HOME/.local/share/Trash" -delete

where it should be :

find "$HOME/.local/share/Trash" -type f -delete

So it prevents removal of Trash content.

Patch available, just ask!

Regards,

 743 2020-02-062020-02-21Bug Report Gdebi-gtk unable to install .deb files Closedstoppy98
100%
3.x (beta's) Task Description

It looks like Gdebi-gtk is unable to install .deb files since (at least) elive 3.8.1.
THese are the reports from the forum:
“gdebi gui does not work, exits without doing anything, invoking this installation with terminal goes off well without problems”

“It dies silently without giving any errors”

The lack of sudo rights was excluded by Thanatermesis since users should be able to handle packages without requiring any root privilege by default (though further testing do not support this theory), moreover it looks like an Thunar related Issue.
A video is attached, showing me trying to “reinstall package” and “remove package” from the gtk. In both cases, as stated above, gdebi dies silently. Downloading the package from the main repository gives no issues (looks like). The same happens when installing a fresh program.
After trying with gdebi gtk, i run gdebi within a terminal. Without sudo rights, it exists without error stating “you need administrator rights!”, while running it with sudo installs the package without issues.
Need to find the roots of this evil behaviour to allow average users to install packages without requiring terminal knowledge.

Eltrans was the easiest way to get big parts of the os translated for free. It needs to go live again, so what is the problem that prevents it from working? Is there any way we could write a new version of it so you do not need to waste your time? In that case, what are your requiremetns and what kind of interface should we give it so that it can just be put in place of the older one?
