Elive

Mouse and wifi (Intel® Dual-Band Wireless-AC 8265?) not being detected (in live move) on Dell Latitude 7480 i7
a usb mouse plugged into the laptop is a work around.

The startup menus (keyboard settings etc) are not usable with just the keyboard, you need a mouse at this stage to start the distro

after login and pass entering and trying join in skype, this piece of microsoft just terminate :(

I use a partition for / and another for /home.
The installer recognized / as a previous Elive installation and proceeds.
It doesn’t ask for /home partition nor for user creation.
After editing /etc/passwd I see an eliveuser has been created but if I set that a password is required at reboot, I’m screwed because it doesn’t ask to set it.

The installation process of any Jetbrains IDE ends in error. This installation works on Ubuntu, Kali, Arch, and it is very straightforward.

This occurs after unpacking zip files and running the install script.

tryed to create an account forthe forum.
Nick, password, email and the code was ok. But I never got the email for activate account.

Using beta 2.9.2 trying to enable persistence, gives me error “You don’t have enough space available.” I re-sized the partition from winbugs ( UsbWriter-1.3 installs it to the pendrive formatting only the image size needed), created partitions next to the Live_OS one, etc and always gave me that error. But persistence works anyway.

I use the USB image on a dual boot laptop : 7 and Lubuntu.
Installation script recognize my Lubuntu and updates it.
At reboot, GRUB go in “safety mode” as if it couldn’t find my hard drive.

set-up:
Hardware:
azerty Belgian period keyboard

settings:
Language setting: English
keyboard setting: Belgium

On this type of keyboard if you need numbers you have to use shift. This works but when using caps lock it doensn’t tis only effect the numbers and special chars. not for the normal letters there it works fine as it should.

This is tested on 2 laptops and both have the same problem so it isn’t a hardware problem.

The screen after boot is black, no support driver.
Dell Inspiron 3550

Thank you

Latest version (2.8.6 Beta) . Be good to have possibility to boot into UEFI (not only standard BIOS).
A self signed key is fine as 90% of machines will allow this.

Notes: self signed key is the requirement for the “Secure Boot” part

The new menu box that opens with a right mouse click is way to small, it looks cluttered. Can it be resized to hold the sub menu items neatly rather than the scroll bars at the side. (or a sizable window? it does not look as polished currently as the rest of the release.

Testing Elive at Amilo M7400, 512 MB about 1.2 GHz.

It works good, but performance coud be better by using video.
Installed at this mashine is Puppy 5.3 (Slaco), here the perfomance is much more better.

Elive works well at older computers like Amilo M 7400, 512 MB RAM and about 1.2 GHz.

But Office solutions like LibreOffice too much bloated for old computers.

Because looking for Beginners using Elive (I think it’s perfect, because intuitive using is nearly perfect), giving a choose by using Elive, if old hardware is detected.
Beginners don’t know, that Abiword and gnumeric for example are good enough for the most office works.

And there are much less performance needing office solutions, i don’t know.

In germany we would say, thats the point of the letter “i”.

on the menu when you want to uninstall an app right click with a drop down and uninstall

How do you alter the time on the background wallpaper changing. The default is way to fast

Getting close to release, can you take down the current forums? I cannot suggest the disto to people , the first thing they do is go to the forum, and its mostly spam, not a lot of real content there. the main page is great, but the forums are a big let down to people I think. you need a nice new forum with the web page theme :~)

I use the USB image on a dual boot laptop.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think the install software is a shell script using a lot of dialog boxes.
It’s powerful, cute and original at this time where all others use the same software installer. Unfortunately it’s weak in ergonomy.

First blocking is about (non-)payment procedure. Use accounts, serial numbers, etc. Whatever but it’s not clear about those who wants to pay, those who already paid and those who won’t pay. Closing the web browser frame is not obvious.

Second is when I want to keep some partitions. Help looks like a choice. choice is always automatic when I want to keep control, etc. writing on my partitions is always frightening and the script is not very reassuring.

Last is hardware support and software options : no way to go back.

Just my $0.02, have a nice day.
