This is a bunch of tests, please see if you can reproduce these problems and if happens to you too, add a comment on this ticket

Looks like when the partition label has a space, blocks e17

Before to run the mount function, check if gparted/fdisk/cfdisk/* is running in order to avoid problems

Kill tumblerd always before umounting a partition

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

This workaround in needed for these models 3400

root $ echo “options snd_hda_intel model=auto” » /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ; rmmod snd_hda_intel ; modprobe snd_hda_intel

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”

Thanks to the report of DronAn[BY], aparently the connect and disconnect buttons has dissapeared, there’s a few screenshots:

http://bayimg.com/BaDfkaAcf http://bayimg.com/BADFnAacF

The reason of this is the russian language that screws something somewhere... there’s an error message found in the terminal:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I don’t know the reason of why this affects the button and no other parts of the interface (see screenshot), but for now, since this is a very important bug (some ppl will not connect!), i have just disabled from gettext the message that broke this :) (note: the broking thing is not the button message but other element, please see the commit in this ticket comments)

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)

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 :)

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

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

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

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

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
