Elive Bug Tracking System

FS#765: Installed Elive with OpenRC does not shutdown correctly from DE

Harm Bathoorn — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 10:15:15 +0000

When opting for shutdown from the desktop menu the machine does not shutdown but goes to the login screen with only a re-login available.
"sudo shutdown -h now" in a terminal does work and does NOT require a password.

FS#764: Fails to open folders - GUI, Retro in Boxes

Zach C — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 21:47:24 +0000

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.

FS#763: Download problems

Problems after download.
Once the download is done, it seems the ISO just holds 15 k of files, hence it is impossible to install anything.
Donation.
Yesterday I made s mall donation, however, today, if I want to try to make a correct download again, it asks for a donation once more. Please, explain.

FS#761: Auto hibernate feature

Thanatermesis — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 15:41:51 +0000

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)

FS#760: Palemoon should be installed from external repo

Thanatermesis — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 19:10:57 +0000

Just like google chrome, palemoon should be installed from an external repo mode, this will avoid having outdated versions lying out with the want to downgrade too

FS#759: After auto-upgrading, 'elive-browser-on-ram' does not cancel.

triantares — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 10:38:00 +0000

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.

FS#758: Elive Screenshot notification blocks top-right

i cant login because the bts is annoying — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 16:55:53 +0000

My suggestion: If user has received a notification 3 times, They doN't get one anymore

FS#757: Cant login using github

FS#756: Power management configurator

Thanatermesis — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 16:30:35 +0000

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?
