If we are already connected to internet is useless to scan about networks, disable the scan until we are disconnected (the non-stop scanning thing makes that some wireless drivers blocks and a reboot is required to recover the connection)

By some reason the first boot doesn’t allows the user to suspend/hiberante, what is the cause?

* debug pm-suspend
* try with e23 first boot
* try with reboot after post-install of eliveinstaller

In my old nettop ‘Acer aspire one’, the inserted SD memory card of my photo camera doesn’t shows in emodule-places unless “only ermovable devices” option is unset

Seems like we need to specify these values in cases that it is one of these cards, but in any case is needed to debug the output to see what it looks like

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"

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 multiple screens betatesting is ready to be used, this task will be to better track all that is needed to betatest:

How to use it: Everything should be automated, so just upgrade your system with the command “apug” and restart to a new desktop configuration (from elive menus), which is important too. It should detect that you have multiple screens and ask you to configure them, or use an existing configuration, etc in contrary case you still have the configurator available (only one now, which is an elive tool)

Things to betatest: This is the list:

1. all the options and behaviours (what if select no, yes, save, not save, remove, etc), this is more or less already betatested by me
2. try to disconnect the extra screen, reboot computer, your desktop should be equally functional (and I assume not asking/saying anything about)
3. poweroff again the computer, connect again the extra screen, it should remember that configuration for your second screen and going back to these settings (without asking anything, i assume)
4. there’s some games that changes your screen resolution (in order to play in fullscreen), if the game exits with an error your desktop is messed up (desktop running in a strange resolution), the normal behaviour is to return to the correct resolution when the game exits correctly, but i dont know if this happens or even if goes to the correct multiscreen mode. Also: a reboot should perfectly return to the normal behaviour
5. maybe already said before, but switching between “using and not using” the external screen should be not a painful experience (and/or with reboots), it should be “work on the fly”
6. ecomorph (special effects) should work correctly, except for the “exposé effect” which doesn’t seems to like it so much (confused numbers of desktops, etc, not sure if this one works better after the full implementation)
7. detail: technically speaking, there’s two launching of the “load screen settings”, one happens before the desktop is loaded and the other when the desktop has started to load... in other words: if there’s a widget/question that asks for anything it should always happen when you already have access to the window controls (including window borders for example)
8. since i found a strange behavior with the “automated fonts sizing calculation” feature, i include this betatest point: test if the font sizes are not reconfigured “smaller than normal”
9. we have hotkeys to switch between virtual desktops, do we have a setup for between screens? i just tried to configure a new keyboard hotkey (ctrl + alt + shift + arrows) for switch to another screen 0/1 but doesn’t looks like to work on virtualbox... will need to do test in a real machine (and implement the hotkey in the default configuration)

Notes: if any of these betatests are not working as expected, please include the details of the “steps” about how to reproduce it, and the exact (first words) of the “conflicting” message found

• Install the system in Language A
• New desktop configuration, selecting language B
• Re-login in destkop, directory names wants to be renamed (not!!)

This is due to some gnome xdg pre-desktop launcher that knows the language of the system but not the one that we have selected in the desktop

Notes:

• Brainstorming: on which cases we should want to have the directories renamed? only from elive-topaz (statically english) maybe

Users should not remove essential packages, but they do...

We will need some kind of feature that at shutdown (more reliable than boot-time) will check if we have removed any essential-elive package and asks if restore it

In my thinkpad laptop, if i run wizard (new .e) i got the audio configurator that asks me twice, see if this happens after to upgrade to 3.0-rc

If you press the power button (which shows a menu option in E to close computer) and extremely-fastly you press any keyboard key, you got a segfault

This can help making it to appear: cd /tmp ; mprime-cpu -t
Also if you add a “drop caches” on that command should help too, giving you more human-time over computer-time

<PrinceAMD> what i think is happening here is
<PrinceAMD> an object is deleted, then a key pressed on the object causes seff
<PrinceAMD> so i think some check is needed in _e_manager_cb_key_down
<PrinceAMD> i'm guessing this is a keybinding bug, so lets say the binding trigger a call of a deleted pointer,

XDG_DATA_DIRS defines the order to where to search for .desktop files, for example we have apulse-skype package that replaces a .desktop that is defined on a previous dir on this variable, this perfectly works if you run skype from menus (skype that requires pulseaudio using a pulseaudio emulator work in alsa-only), but if you run it from engage or from ibar, it doesn’t works (so looks like it gots the .desktop from the default dir instead of the one that we have defined), it doesnt works also from other places like “startup applications”

If you run something like “berusky” (small game, which don’t works in fact), it fucks your X resolution without possibility to recover it (BIG BAD BUG)

In short it seems like to: change your E resolution, don’t restore the original one, but E saves and remebers it

We should need a way to detect that the resolution was changed by FOO, when FOO finishes and some seconds passed change the resolution to the original one if we are not on it (not sure if this is possible)

Also, is needed to save the resolution on E confs only when we select to save it, seems like there’s a trigger that saves it automatically, this is very bad :P

Notes: betatest in e19 to see if the bug is solved (and so just cherry-pick the fixes)

After to have opened the menu it frozen and then segfaulted, computer is a nettop, seems like nettops are much more prone to segfault since they are slower :)

I received these messages on IRC thanks to elmo40, but it doesn’t happens to me as you can see on this screenshot:

https://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-549198d97b8fe3.16604264.jpg

Still having the problem ? How I can reproduce it ?

<elmo40> Thanatermesis: did you get the message ?
<elmo40> AlexAnt couldn't read his existing ext4 partition while trying the latest live image.
<elmo40> (2:37:54 PM) AlexAnteMachina: ext4 is an unknown filesystem to elive??? really???
<elmo40> (2:51:41 PM) AlexAnteMachina: thunar rejects to access my hdd
<Thanatermesis> elmo40, thx, ill check that

xrandr / e17 screen confs are not restored after to have played a game or launched some applications that changes the screen sizes

Try for example with “smc” (super mario chronicles) package in debian

WARNING: “cd .e ; bkp s”, it will broke your e17 conf

Note: maybe only in xinerama ?

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)

If you put the laptop to suspend, when you put it back you cannot browse shared folders, this happens on my acer-aspire-one laptop in live mode at least

Maybe there’s a post-suspend hook/script that needs to be added for reload sambasomething ?

In laptop of sapi, there’s an hdmi entry that is not a real card, in order to preselect it correctly we could list the channels and see if has any valid entry, for example this wrong one has:

~ amixer
Simple mixer control ‘IEC958’,0

Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [off]

~

Try to reproduce:

- /etc/default/keyboard is set to “es” - configure E to use US instead
- when you restart e17 is set back to ES

Note: use a new elive install, which sets correctly all those things

Multiple reports:

- If you run the upgrade mode with the beta version, it doesnt seems to boot it (file not found)

- The entry from grub is not removed after the first (any state) reboot

- The installer of 3.0 needs to be adapted

Chromium complains about outdated flash version, like in www.electroswing-radio.com , there’s some bugs reported in debian (bts show chromium), so we need to wait the release of debian first to see what happens with this

If you open terminal from thunar, which is assigned to urxvt, the colors theme is not considered, it doesn’t read our .Xdefaults file ?
