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 :)

simple test of mail server

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)

Create a system of Shared folders using Samba

Made something nice to made working by default wacom devices in Elive

• 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))

• 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

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

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)

Looks like not all the fonts for special languages are installed by default (see google translator for chinese or japanese, or see also to configure hte language with langconf (characters not readable for some languages)), langconf should show ALL the caracters because i have made it one by one and i have read all of them

Could be need to try to install manually some font packages and see which ones are remaining, but WARNING, some fonts packages takes a LOT of space in hard disk and the size of the ISO is pretty limited, install just the ones that are needed, not waste space of the limited ISO size standard

Note: is possible that could be need to restart X after to install a font. Use the livecd mode better

<roxville> <roxville> for Thana: <eshep> roxville, if you see him before i do, ask him about a keymap selector on the bootup blue screens
<roxville> <roxville> <eshep> that should be simple to add
<roxville> <roxville> <eshep> and just have it do an automation of “dpkg-reconfigure console-data” <Thanatermesis> mmmh, keymaps reconfigurator in elpanel doesn’t configure keymaps of console

Evince can’t open web links, see it at for example this pdf http://www.vimeo.com/groups/cinelerra/file:1612

The video thumbnails in thunar fails when the video is too short (time)

They may also be wrong...

See the videos on your Nokia phone (thanatermesis talks himself) to have an example

There’s a kind of mess between these 2 interfaces (wifi and wired), i removed all the netconnector configurations and then started the daemon and configured only for my wired connection, that is a static ip with autoconnect=yes, after to reboot i have:

A different ip (a dhcp one) for my wired interface, if I run netconnector (gui), in the Wired part i have my static ip set/configured, and in the Status values says that i have a different one (this dhcp obtained one), if i run ifconfig i have the static ip set to the WIFI interface instead of the wired one. Again in the GUI, in the Wifi part, i have the “autoconnect” box set in ON (of course i have not set it, maybe the problem is from here?), and the status for the wifi says that I have the static ip.

A more descriptive image can be found at http://thana.no-ip.org/shots/deleteme-netconnector-strange.jpg

My configurations are:

root@Babylon:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces-eth0 
iface network inet dhcp
root@Babylon:~# cat /etc/net-connector/profiles.conf 
[ath0]
[eth0]
[[casa]]
wireless = No
wireless-mode = None
essid = None
encryption_key = None
wpa-driver = None
encryption = None
dhcp = No
gateway = 192.168.2.1
address = 192.168.2.166
netmask = 255.255.255.0
auto_connect = yes
dns1 = None
dns2 = None

Update marillat (multimedia) dependency packages, specially ogmrip to the version 0.12.3 (elm0 report)

Move all the multimedia-repository packages to a new repository branch

Could be nice if we have an e17 module to limit the windows to be in the screen limits, instead to pass over it. This is a useful feature for non-experienced users.

Note: this report has somewhere (i dont remember where) a list of features needed, like which options to have on it (like: limit the windows to be in-screen, limit the windows to be not entirely out of the screen, allow the window to be partially out, etc etc), is needed to check this list first (in hackers or in dev ? i dont remember right now)

Useful code: iirk module

Like it says in the review article http://news.softpedia.com/news/Elive-Compiz-104523.shtml , when you mouse-in around a window in the pager or the minimized applications, there’s not a kind of popup information about “what” is that window, could be nice to add this feature ?

Could be nice to boot from USB devices for computers that can’t boot from USB (bios) (and that doesn’t has a CDROM), for that, could be needed to boot a grub, this grub should load the kernel and the initrd (the kernel include the drivers needed for the USB’s), and then the initrd (eli) will list all the devices so the user select his USB to boot from

This is very nice to have for computers that can’t boot USB’s (or doesn’t has cdrom), and a easy way to upgrade to newest elive versions

More info or scripts can be available in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=992426

Update: This feature actually exists (tested and working), just add the parameters boot=eli changedevice to your grub and you are able to boot from the USB :) (only a Elive system, so it scans for it)

For some old computers (like my new old dell latitude c400), the default synaptics configuration not works

It is needed to remove the default configuration of synaptics, use gsynaptics from user instead

export by default the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY variables if the user has ssh to the machine

The default download directories of aMule are not userfriendly at all

Some device icons (like USBs) of the elive icons theme, needs to have a transparent background

For example, when umounting a USB device from thunar, there’s a popup from the corner of the screen with a message and a icon with a non-transparent background

Games like Wolfenstein not works directly by default, made a compatibility for this, start by add a script to load all the snd-*-oss modules at the init of the system, then see if directly works or needs to run with “aoss” (not so nice way (userfriendly))
