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 ?

<Elive_user_en_18> when selecting english Canada changes to French Canada

This report seems to reffer to wizard languages selector I assume

English is english, so french canada is wrong (note that canada has french and english, betatest too if the keyboard is correctly set too)

You said recently that you have found the cause of the bug where teh windwos are positioned in the first screen (xinerama) when looking at something else about borders?, but i still having the bug around, did you commited the fix ?

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

By default if you play a DVD and enable subtitles in VLC, they looks ugly as 2 hells, I think that this can be solved in the settings (advanced/all?), we need to play / beta-test a bit to see a solution for that

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

when is copying a video, it does a kind of ugly try to made a preview a lot of times, this slows down the computer too, for that, use a kind of tracer (name of file > logs, if name of actual file is equal to logs, wait 30 seconds before to try to do the preview)

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)

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

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

There’s a big problem with the updates of the system that will broke the graphical system, this bug has Critical severity

The problem is that, if you upgrade your system, it will update the GLX package of your ati/nvidia drivers, this means, that you will have a X version of the kernel with an ati (or nvidia) module in the version Y, that is incompatible with the updated version Z of the GLX package

To solve that problem, I have used all this time a block (hold mark) of the GLX package (the user should have the same kernel all the time)

But the problem is, for example, that if the user update the system that include an updated kernel, and an update of the ati kernel module, the GLX package for ati is not updated so it is incompatible and the user can’t reach the graphical system

Actual case: updated system: update the kernel, but the packages fglrx-driver, fglrx-glx and fglrx-kernel-2.3.26.8-elive-686 are holded, so not updated, the kernel can’t simply load that old version of the ati driver and the user can’t reach the graphical system

If we hold the packages, there’s the problem that everything needs to be updated (so, do not hold anything) in order to work correctly. But if we don’t lock them, also if the user upgrade the system, will use the same version of the kernel, so then the ati GLX package will be updated and not work with the old kernel/module, the only solution for that and everything is that update the version of the kernel too (with a virtual-package for example)... this was requested by some users but, it is a good idea ? what happens if a user dont want to update his kernel ? what about if a version of the kernel mades the computer of a user to NOT boot or not work ? and finally... the grub menu needs to be updated on that case then

Comments about this problematic issue ?

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

Kill tumblerd always before umounting a partition

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

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

<PrinceAMD> Thanatermesis, <Elive_user25_en> If one choose swedish as language in textmode boot.
<PrinceAMD> <Elive_user25_en> Everything is translated into...
<PrinceAMD> <Elive_user25_en> finnish.
<PrinceAMD> <Elive_user25_en> that has not one word in common with swedish

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 ?

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

some error messages when you run smb-usershare are shown in the terminal, but not graphically, this can be a problem when the user is running the application from graphical mode only (menu applications launchers).

In my case, just repackaging it for the new version i found these messages:

Lacking to install the “samba” package:

net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No existe el fichero o el directorio
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.
Traceback (most recent call last):

    gui.msgbox(START_MSG)

Lacking to add the user to “samba” (sudo adduser me sambashare), i comment the exact parameter because maybe is a good idea to request the root password via “gksu” tool to do it for the user

smbmount is required for smb-browser, but the package smbfs is not available in debian wheezy right now, i’m not sure why, maybe is replaced by the package cifs-utils, or maybe it enters back in the future (release of wheezy stable), in any of the cases i leave this report opened to know that something needs to be fixed around :), which means adapt smb-browser to the new tool or get some kind of port

PS: in any of the cases, smb-browser is not a strict requirement for Elive since thunar is able now to browse samba networks in a friendly way

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 ?

simple test of mail server

It is needed a nice search utility for the menus and/or the file-manager

Create a system of Shared folders using Samba

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
