Elive

It would be also nice to have a small gui for ndiswrapper, an ncurses one would be nice, so that user can find the inf file and install comfortably from a gui.

Create a system of Shared folders using Samba

Can’t installing Elive on VMWare. The Eliveinstaller reports this:

Error Information:
	An exit code of 1 was returned from sudo eliveinstaller.

Output Data:
	There was no output

Error Logs:
	There was no error message

It happens after I make the partitions, then I choose where goes Swap and where goes Root, and so Eliveinstaller crashes saving this in the log!

Thanks for the attention on this, I’m a truly fan of this distro.

Cheers!

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

Even if i deselect the “show label” button a name of the icon is always shown with init-ng.

Sometime the installer request the user to make a choice: for example, do u want to upgrade the system? Yes Cancel..
Cancel should be NO!

net configurator works like when wrong DNS entered. Several weeks ago, I missed my dns address on elive gem, and result was that I couldn’t open some of my internet provider’s pages. Now in the development version of elive I, entered the correct DNS number, but with same result.

Can’t get net connector to work in 1.9.10 I try start it it says to stop it first, so i try to stop it and it says it’s not running. The only way to get on the internet is to run iconfig in the terminal and i have to do that every time i log in

Upgraded to 1.9.10 and REAL NICE, saved all old data, even OZ themes with animated wallpaper that I had to configure previously.
I would like to recommend that the “profile name field” be filled in the network connector default such as “eliveuser” as the network does not work because the field is blank.
Upgrade did not remove Exalt from menu, just the icon.
I know you are working on network Icon so I won’t ask.
Beautiful, smoooth, upgrade!

Livecd crashes randomly several times, if a crash occurs during upgrade of the system, all the upgrade process is lost and it works as a clean install on next reboot.
I have been unable to test the upgrade feature since eeepc has crashed 4-4 times during the upgrade of the system, thus losing all data of users and password.

Some messages of the installer needs to have YES NO messages:

the message “you have got an older version..” and the other one requesting to upgrade should be corrected.

Moreover, the installer doesn’t identify correctly the version, it tells me i am upgrading 1.9.11 with 1.9.11 while i am upgrading 1.9.10 with 1.9.11

Wireless Settings, does not work using Elpanel Icon, manual iwconfig commands work fine. Using iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid does set and associate with my base router; iwlist wlan0 scan does list the many networks around me; dhclient wlan0 does get an IP from the server.

None of which happens from the icon based script(?) but just sits there running continuously (for 4-5 minutes atleast.) After doing a manual setup, the Status for wlan0: window does list the correct state.

wlan0 is an Airlink pci .11G card, works with many other distros’ wizards, e.g. Mepis, Puppy, Sudix, some of the BSD’s that I have tried.

(As I have just a few machines on line that don’t change, I use Mac Filtering and neither WEP nor either WPA.)

The machine running Elive is a relatively new GeForce6100SM-M MoBo with an Athlon 64×2 and 1GB of ram.

• If you create a new user, it can’t login to entrance since you dont wait that the selector of graphical system appears (at least having other graphical systems in the list like e16 listed in the list of window-managers to select (top-left corner))

• If you plug a linux* disk, thunar (exo-utils) mount it without uuid=user mode (so root owner),

this not looks like to be very correct, user can’t access/modify files

• If you insert a Cdrom to record it (like cdrw), brasero (burner) doesn’t has permissions to do anything with it,

thunar doesn’t has also a “umount” option but that’s other case

• remember that big problems requires big solutions

I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.

I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

In 1.9.02 version, while moving/copying files with special character (accented letters - Brasillian), Thunar report error.

HP DX5150 SFF with NIC Broadcom BCM5751 Gigabit Ehternet Express does not work.

The device is shown with lspci but no lan interface with ifconfig

Tried to insmod tg3 module but not found.

Worked fine with GEM.

have istalled elive on oqo 01+
this has usb wifi branded by oqo, it’s based on atmel 76..505 chip

when loading the atm_76 module for it, nothing happens... doesn’t work

It would be nice to add the files for playing m4a sound files:
i was able to play right after adding the two plugin files (.so) to the xmms plugin directory
i would suggest to avoid compilation and take the precompiled plugins

here is the source page http://fondriest.frederic.free.fr/realisations/

The new kernel has fixed the broken headers issue according to debian buglist and to #debian.
I would suggest to switch asap to .26 and start providing headers as well

We have the need for a working net-connector as soon as possible in order to iron out all the bugs
I would suggest that LinuxNit does the packaging himself in order to provide always up to date packages, this package should be labeled net-connector-dev in order to prevent normal users to install if not willing.

When on the road and staying at hotels - it becomes necessary to connect to their unencrypted networks, but net-connector from the control panel refuses to connect to unencrypted networks.

1.9.10 elive with latest updates, can’t connect to a hex wep local wifi network, there is no option to choose hex key (only wep, wpa and none), the network is there, but the connection is not made due to password failure

wicd finds and connects to the same network without a problem

Some programs (amsn on top of all) request the device /dev/sound/dsp and /dev/sound/mixer
both are missing in the latest elive
then no sound is possible.
