Elive

From the dock (shortcuts), and click-screen menu, clicking to open folders/directory crashes the whole system back to the login screen. Logs in fine, then repeats when attempted. Besides terminal, I have not been able to successfully open it. It is fully updated, which had to be done in terminal as the software centre would not execute "Restart & Upgrade" after the download.
I am running Retro in Gnome-Boxes before going to metal. Everything else has seemed to be working as expected.

Problems after download.
Once the download is done, it seems the ISO just holds 15 k of files, hence it is impossible to install anything.
Donation.
Yesterday I made s mall donation, however, today, if I want to try to make a correct download again, it asks for a donation once more. Please, explain.

[issue]
Boot normal via either kernel, wireless card (intel 9260) not detected. Card appears in lspci but is not detected during boot.

[fix]
Boot with `intel_iommu` enabled.

My suggestion: If user has received a notification 3 times, They doN’t get one anymore

Which is annoying

When I open software center I get a error warning say (something went wrong sorry). And also when theres updates the same software center says (Failed to install file: not supported). Not a programmer so hope someone can figure what is going on I noticed there is a newer version of gnome software center available but I don,t know how to install manually. Wish it could be in the software center repository somehow.

I tried to update my 3.8.12 64-bit beta installation with the 14 updates in “Software 3.30.6”. That fails.

[I do not appear to be able to upload an image file and hence cannot paste the screen snapshot I took.]

The message (in a semi-transparent overlay window) indicated:

Unable to download updates:
E: http://repo.buster.elive.elivecd.org buster/main amd64 smb-admin amd64 3.8.14+git43bbo34df-6buster1 is not (yet) available )Something wicked happened resolving ‘repo.buster.elive.elivecd.org:http’ (-5 - No address associated with hostname))

“OK” I said to myself, “I should be able to download the 3.8.14 64-bit beta ISO and re-install.” That I do not seem to be able to do without coughing up more money for the download.

Hello, Team
I have a Lenovo x201i laptop ( CPU Core i3 + 8GB RAM)
Firstly , i use 32bit latest version OS - very nice
but it can see only 3GB RAM and i decided install 64Bit system
i download latest beta version , write it on USB-stick and tryed
boot… before, i turn off security password to HDD acssess on BIOS
Boot starting and i see a menu ( a few options booting 64 bit system)
but if i tryed anything- after a few second leptop rebooting…

PLEASE be describable and clear. We need to understand the issue and being able to reproduce it.

By reporting the problem you also help every user in the world that can be affected too! :)

Thank you

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

Whenever I am away from my PC for about five minutes without putting it to sleep, when I move the mouse it decides to have a blank screen with lines on it. The PC then stops responding and I have to force-reboot which wastes time and battery.

Thanks!! (Version 3.8.2 beta)

Hello,

I got this error message while using elive-health from command line :

find: paths must precede expression: `/home/jack/.local/share/Trash'
find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate `-type'?

I found out that a ‘find’ command at line 100 of this script was incorrectly formatted, it showed :

find -type f "$HOME/.local/share/Trash" -delete

where it should be :

find "$HOME/.local/share/Trash" -type f -delete

So it prevents removal of Trash content.

Patch available, just ask!

Regards,

It looks like Gdebi-gtk is unable to install .deb files since (at least) elive 3.8.1.
THese are the reports from the forum:
“gdebi gui does not work, exits without doing anything, invoking this installation with terminal goes off well without problems”

“It dies silently without giving any errors”

The lack of sudo rights was excluded by Thanatermesis since users should be able to handle packages without requiring any root privilege by default (though further testing do not support this theory), moreover it looks like an Thunar related Issue.
A video is attached, showing me trying to “reinstall package” and “remove package” from the gtk. In both cases, as stated above, gdebi dies silently. Downloading the package from the main repository gives no issues (looks like). The same happens when installing a fresh program.
After trying with gdebi gtk, i run gdebi within a terminal. Without sudo rights, it exists without error stating “you need administrator rights!”, while running it with sudo installs the package without issues.
Need to find the roots of this evil behaviour to allow average users to install packages without requiring terminal knowledge.

Eltrans was the easiest way to get big parts of the os translated for free. It needs to go live again, so what is the problem that prevents it from working? Is there any way we could write a new version of it so you do not need to waste your time? In that case, what are your requiremetns and what kind of interface should we give it so that it can just be put in place of the older one?

I have just installed E16 64 bits on my Acer laptop, and when I close the lid, the whole system freezes and I have to do a forced shutdown to start it up again.
It does not go into hibernation, it only freezes. I have trouble starting the pc up after hibernation as well.

Thank you for an otherwise great and very pretty OS.
