If you use VM-ware then you need to have the kernel-headers on your system for compiling the needed modules.

It would be nice to have a package “kernel-headers” to point to the current headers for the current kernel, that you can install in Synaptic - instead of having to hunt down the source for the current kernel version, then use make-kpkg kernel_headers to create a kernel-headers package.

If this already exists - then please point me to it.

Installing Crossover Linux (both Pro and Games) from CodeWeavers causes either enlightenment or Xorg to hang or crash.

When the install is finishing up Xorg/enlightenment freezes, mouse can be moved, but nothing happens - and I am unable to change to another desktop using CTRL + ALT + arrow key

The same thing happens when trying to install applications or managing bottles. Though sometimes I get an error message that enlightenment has SEGV’ed with the options to Recover or Quit.

I think it might be when Crossover tries to generate menu links for the application, but I am not entirely sure.

I am sorry to say that this used to work under Ubuntu/enlightenment.

You can download a trial of Crossover Games here:

(This is important for gamers - hence the severity)

When waking up from Suspend the screen brightness seems to be at the lowest - I have to use the function keys to turn up the brightness.

This is on a HP Pavilion DV6000.

When asking to create a user - it might be a good idea to ask if the installer should create more users.

This could be useful if it was to be installed on a family computer.

(Something along the lines of the request to add more partitions when partitioning the hard disk)

When installing on a HP Pavilion dv6000, sl-modem-daemon (and sl-modem-modules-KERNEL) gets installed, and they mess up the fine tune process.

Sometimes it just freezes and goes no further but sometimes it produces a kernel oops.

I’ve removed the sl-modem-daemon and modules since I have no use for it (and I cannot turn off the modem in the bios of the laptop).
And now the fine tune just completed.

(a newcomer might not realize what to do to make it work and then give up on the installation)

If you partition up your disk and want /boot to be JFS then Grub just shows the “Grub is now loading” with the “Stage 1.5” at the top.

I’ve tried to load up the livecd and mount and chroot into the installed environment to run grub manually, but that does not work either.

This is both for elive 1.9.36-compiz and the .37 non-compiz.

With ELive 1.9.20 and on my Acer Aspire One I cannot boot up into X when on battery.

The boot is taking EXTREMELY long time and when it finally does something I get a console login.
Upon login it complains that all FS are readonly and hence fails to create the proper locks for X to startup.

I’d like to be able to select JFS for /boot

I’ve installed version 1.9.16 and when I try to make the laptop enter Hibernation then it goes through the steps and ends up with a black console with a cursor blinking - and then it wakes up immediately and plays the sound “elive has been restored”.

It would be nice if there was an option of “Automatically connect when in range of network” - like in for instance WiCD (or windows netmanager).

When on the road and staying at hotels - it becomes necessary to connect to their unencrypted networks, but net-connector from the control panel refuses to connect to unencrypted networks.

I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.

I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

When the install is finished and the update script has run - then it displays “News in elive”, but displays News for elive 1.9.02.

I am making a syslinux.cfg for my USB stick, and I noticed that the arguments passed to the kernel are the same if you choose No Bluetooth or No Temperature.
