simple test of mail server

It is needed to set some extra configurations for when there’s Intel cards in Elive Compiz:

• change mplayer conf to use X11 (or GL is better option?), and set the zoom ON
• Update: set the X11 or GL as a choice for the user (in case of any elive-compiz, not only intel), explaining how to configure it later and what’s the difference between them
• xine: use xshm or gl output (ask to the user too, or better, include the answer of the previous question for selection there too)
• gstreamer-properties for configure gstreamer to use X11 instead of XV
• xorg: set XAA instead of EXA (see deliver configuration for eeepc)
• export INTEL_BATCH=1 in /etc/profile
• set a different launcher for skype (.desktop) that uses: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=4417cd748721d80e99c902e2857eb6d8&showtopic=328901&st=0&p=1622441&#entry1622441

When in wizard module (first e17 start), if you click fastly to next you get wrong configurations, the Next button should be disabled until all the interface has finished to load and calculate what is needed (languages list generated, pages rendered, etc...)

A common case is to start e17 with the “Mobile” interface (even if default is computer)

The site not works very good since is used http://bugs.thanatermesis.org instead of the real site... for example not is posible to “copy the link of the site” because it stills on http://bugs.thanatermesis.org all the time
Also when you make a login, sometimes give you a strange blank page

Any recomendation for the redirection of the site ?

Ok, i have look thunar and its a perfect candidate, very good options, not big, nice features, and a look vision to the future, you can install it actually on your Elive via apt-get...

Use from now this application normally, and look options and stuff, if you look any thing to looks bad, write here in a comment... write also a list of the special options to you think to needs to are configured for Elive (no mime-types for launch the correct applications), and you put here in a comment, and then i start to implement it for the first 0.6-beta’s release :)

if the user select the “static” mode, the entry’s should be writed automatically with the actual ip variables (the ones done by dhcp or the actual used)

a

Could be nice and not very hard to implement an automatic tracer reporter, this means, a kind of pre-launcher for the interface (bash that calls the python code) with waiting error trace messages, if there’s these messages, they will be send to... somewhere, in some way

What you think ?

This bug is reported by Pacma, but in order to resolv it i recommend a different way to manage the default profile (wired):

Aparently if you have the default and the X profile configuration, if you select the X one and then try to connect, NC automatically changes to the default one making it impossible to autoconnect to the X profile.

I think that instead of the actual method of work, we should only permit one (and only one) autoconnect profile (not needed to be the “default” one), so there’s no possible to have 2 autoconnect profiles coexisting, if the user try this, a question message will appear asking if want to replace the autoconnect “previous” profile and use this one instead.

Hi Luis,

I added this issue in order to know what is the cause that the other options gives you a black screen

To install in failsafe mode could remove some features so if you are able to install it in normal mode it could be better, so let’s investigate the cause

The new disks health feature doens’t reports the correct values:

❯❯❯ cat /etc/elive/disks-health
disks_scanned=""
count_gshock="0"
count_sectors_reallocated="0"
count_sectors_pending="0"

Create a system of Shared folders using Samba

Ubuntu doesn’t set any password to root by default, this is a very good idea (ironic), so that the migration mode of the installer works perfectly but when the user want to do anything with root... can’t do anything, cant login, nothing... since there’s no password

Add a verifier of root passwords in the migration/upgrade mode so that will request it if is empty

I will need a sample line of the root file / etc/shadow in order to know how to detect it

• If you create a new user, it can’t login to entrance since you dont wait that the selector of graphical system appears (at least having other graphical systems in the list like e16 listed in the list of window-managers to select (top-left corner))

Is not possible to erase a cdrw device since thunar automounts it directly and only has the “eject” option, maybe fix that in ivman ? (if cdrw, popup to ask if umount)

There’s needed some extra modules in the initrd in order to boot elive from an usb that are plugged in (some) pcmcia devices

Not much info, i just know that it not works, so:

• see if the module loads correctly (modprobe nvidia and run dmesg too)
• see if the version of the module package and the glx package are the same version
• read X logs
• use the xorg.conf of the installed system

Installing in /dev/hdb1 for example, grub generates a configuration using (hd0,0), where it should be (hd1,0)

The questions is...

• with which disk you boot the computer ? hda or hdb ?
• where you have selected to install grub ? (if the installer has asked you this)

I think that the selector of grub needs to be rewrited... in case that is not hda or sda, ask allways to the user about which/where to install grub, a better look needs to be made on this side

please comment this ticket, i need your info for fix it :P

The actual version of flash 10.0.12.36-elive1 is unstable, firefox crashes (like in badoo.com), for the stable version of Elive we need to use a newest (stable) version or go back to a backup

Aparently if you install Elive with / as JFS and rebooting from the e17 menus, the JFS root partition is mounted as RO in the next boot

Please do details about how to reproduce this bug, in a updated version of elive (< 1.9.30)

run this command from the live mode using CDROM (no usb): dmesg | grep -i error | grep “I/O” and please paste in the comments a block of ‘code’ mode the result

a patch from debian (about xscreensaver) made it that doesn’t run, rebuild mplayer (patch to remove patch actually added to the builder of packages of elive)

• If you plug a linux* disk, thunar (exo-utils) mount it without uuid=user mode (so root owner),

this not looks like to be very correct, user can’t access/modify files

• If you insert a Cdrom to record it (like cdrw), brasero (burner) doesn’t has permissions to do anything with it,

thunar doesn’t has also a “umount” option but that’s other case

• remember that big problems requires big solutions

Looks like grub is not installed correctly on the MBR, in a clean hard disk, automatic+easy mode install, (automatic grub install), elive 1.9.14
