Elive

I have dual booted a HP paviliion dv7-2170us with dev version 1.9.5 [i think] of elive & vista. it is x64 architecture. These are the bugs that I am finding:

[1] unrecognized file system when rebooting into vista; this doesn’t always happen though, so I wondered if it had anything to do with selecting full ntfs support when I installed. I reinstalled using the read only but unmounted by default option which has not corrected it.

[2] soundcard only plays through subwoofer speakers at bottom of device, leaving the primary speakers unused; this results in a horrible sound.

[3] no 3d, but I haven’t spent much time trying to fix this yet, but it is an ATI radeon HD 4650 with 1024 MB video RAM, so it would be nice to utilise it.

I am using suspend when I am not using my gateway computer. When I brought it back up, the sound was not working.

setings are saying use yahoo, but i found http://www.weather.com/ codes from url do a trick, they work

yahoo already uses something different, so no use from new url code:
http://weather.yahoo.com/lithuania/kaunas-county/kaunas-475457/ http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/3248/forecast.jpg

as example, Kaunas - Lithuania: at
http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/local/LHXX0002?lswe=kaunas&from=searchbox_localwx

i took from it “LHXX0002” and thats exactly what i needet ;]

Elive 1.9.5.1 - Asus G1s, 4GB ram, nvidia 8600gt-m, HD 160gb

Elive is running on sda1 30gb, swap is sda2 6gb, sda3 is 110gb datastore.
I’ve erased 60gb from sda3 to get more free space. Than I tried to copy 80gb Musicfiles(flac, ogg, mp3)from an ext hd to sda3. After copying near 30gb the prozess stopped with an errormessage: no more free space. I ereased everything on sda3 but after that the same result. Than I took GParted to try another filesystem (fat32). Gparted did his job but as I started Thunar, the Manager shows me that there are still all files on sda3 and no more free space. Gparted shows a free sda3.
A check under windows shows, Gparted is right, sda3 is free. Copying 80gb musicfiles to sda3 works also fine.

So there’s a prob with Filemanagment, Thunar or cache.

Hi

Just wondering if there is a way to get elive to access a wireless network using Protected EAP (PEAP) as WPA authentication.

I have installed FreeRadius from synaptic but don’t know how to configure it.

Hi,
I use elive installed on a Dell D410 laptop with Broadcom BCM4311 wifi card. I can see networks, but I’m unable to connect to anyone because dhclient is unable to obtain an IP address.
I tried other wifi cards (Realtek, D-Link), and it is always same problem. All these cards are supported by Debian Lenny or Ubuntu 8.04.
I really like elive and wouldn’t go back to Lenny because of this wifi problem.

Thanks for help.

After upgrading from 1.9.51 to 1.9.52 the Screenresolution was set too high.
-I’ve used the Upgrade-Elive tool.
-I tried changing the resoultion back to 1280×1024 by using both: The tool provided in Elpanel “xconfigurator” and also the Enlightenment Configuration.

-Elpanel’s Tool xconfigurator seems to be doing nothing.
-Enlightenment Configuration returned an Errormessage, telling X-Server is missing XRandR.

Hi!
Today I’m posting things I noticed during last weeks that might need some Improvement:

-Streaming Sound via Bluetooth without manually setting pcm-device=bluetooth

-Thumbnail-Preview for iBox

-Lowering default Startup-Sound volume in LiveCD

-Mention Intel-Mac-ONLY on website!!

Thanks.

The Keyboard setting qwertz is still falling back to qwerty after a reboot or log-off.
It’s on: 1.9.5.0, 1.9.5.1 and 1.9.5.2
The bug is up to 1 or 2 packages I install from elive-repo,
Nvidia-xconfig and/or Nvidia-settings (I need them for my 2. Monitor)

Well every time you change the theme, the GTK switcher appears and the startup sound is quite annoying.
Version 1.9.54

After installing 1.9.54 I found that Synaptic is missing!
I simply installed it via “apt-get install synaptic”. But I really wonder why Synaptic isn’t installed by default. All elive-dev Versions before came with Synaptic installed by default.

In Menu>Settings>Settings Panel>System, when “Esu” is called, the window asking for root password lacks in my opinion a “close” or “cancel” button.
This could be handy for someone who selected the wrong setting to open, a user that does not know the root password, or anyone who finally prefers to just cancel the requested action.

Additionally, the text about Esu when it asks for password is presently :
“Welcome to Esu, this program will give you access to other users providing you have there password.” This text could be improved and become :
“Welcome to Esu, this program will give you access to other users provided you have their password.” (italics to show corrections)

Don’t know if it’s bug from distro or from my “work” on installed distro.. Well, command hibernate from terminal in root mode works great but from keyboard hotkey settings of from shut down dialog doesn’t work and it claims I have no hibernate able computer..

Every time, even for the first time with nothing installed there is a dialog at the time of logging out/powering down/restarting that this process takes too long time and I have to confirm what I want to do - shut down system..

I’ve read about this problem and it’s not problem of elive, it’s global problem and I don’t know solution. Mplayer and VLC stopped playback video and mozilla plugin doesn’t work. Win32codecs have installed but it seems like VLC and Mplayer are unable to find them. Kaffeine/Kmplayer/Xine/gxine plugin.. all of them works still but these two - mplayer (the root of elive) and VLC don’t...

The CPU speed stand still low even after plugging power cord to adapter and the speed doesn’t grow up to full or to medium possibility. Still low power-saved mode. I have installed advanced power management, powertweak and gnome power management-the new one feature.

I think this shoul be nice feature and maybe easy to do.. Add this feature to possiblities settings of feature - for example to have watch all the time above the windows or volume or others often needed..

The system recognized well the charging but when discharging it gives the warning message about critical low battery few seconds before system totally collapse cause no power - about 20 sec... So, where to set it to another value? The measurement of the battery status shows about 30% when there is nothing left.. I have new high-capacity battery so there is no probability about non-linear electricity discharging..

Is there any GUI interface WORKING how to setup behavior of touchpad? DELL D620, D600.. is not possible to use with touchpad, only with joypad - touchpad toooooo slow.. I know about Xorg.conf “tuning” but didn’t work.. And about setup the touchpad to work as a scroll ?

I`m running 1.9.56 development Version on my Laptop with a X1300 Mobility radeon.
Compiz works under Ubuntu 9.10 out of the box. I use there the OSS ati driver.

On Elive there seems to be a bug with the included ati driver. I’ve tried several Notebooks with ATI graphic cards. None of them worked.
On every machine I’ve got the following message:

$> ecomorph 
ecomorph (core) - Fatal: No GLXFBConfig for default depth, this isn't going to work.
ecomorph (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
ecomorph (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

a compiz-check shows, that everything should be ok:

$> compiz-check

Hi!

In 1.9.57 net-connector is not usable due to a segmentation fault!

Thanks

Al arrancar produce violación de segmento.

Buenas noches, este bug es significativo desde e punto de vista de un usuario de nivel administrador pero a nivel de usuario no administrador es importante.
Empecemos, el administrador instala una impresora usb al pc portátil etc y la programa y la deja lista para que el usuario la use, aquí es cuando esta este pequeño fallo cuando el usuario sin conocimiento de la clave de root quiere imprimir algo enciende la impreso ya previamente instalada y sorpresa salta la autoconfiguracion de la impresora ya instalada pidiendo de nuevo la clave root que no sabe el usuario, el usuario puede imprimir lo que quiera pero se le quedara la dichosa ventana e incomoda de pedir la clave de root que el no posee.
La question:
Si ya tenemos una impresora instalada cuando esa dicha impresora la conectamos de nuevo porque salta la autoconfiguracion?

Buenas tardes, el siguiente error es:
Cuando en un pc de mesa o un portátil se le añade un usb wifi, el pc lo detecta y lo monta pero a la hora de usar el net-connecto se vuelve loco y hace exploración cada segundo con lo cual no te deja ni elegir una red ni poder para la exploraciones de redes, con lo cual lo hace inservible.
Las pruebas fueron realizadas con un usb-wifi Wisacom.
P.D. En los portátiles con wifi integrada no tenemos este problema y el funcionamiento es correcto
