hello,
well, i talk in other post of random crashed, well i think i have found wwhy!

i think he is gadjet, who crashed elive, and we have a segdev windows, and impossible , to connect on my desktop!!

Bonjour,

je parle dans un autre post de crash aléatoire, je pense avoir toruvé ce qui cause ces crash,
je pense au gadjet, car sa m’arrive aprés avoir lancé le gadget du son
voila j’espére avoir une réponse

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

A script/Thunar shortcut for converting for example .wma files to .mp3

<Thanatermesis> for i in *.wma ; do mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -af resample=44100 -ao pcm -waveheader “$i” && lame -m j -h –vbr-new -b 160 audiodump.wav -o “`basename “$i” .wma`.mp3”; done; rm -f audiodump.wav

/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf

+BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 3"
+LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15"
+BRIGHTNESS-OUTPUT="/sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness"

this is the most up to date and correct link to be set up in laptop-mode tools.

I noticed that from time to time resuming the eeepc from sleep results in a frozen screen with entrance showing. Is not possible to type name or password, and the system is responsive only to “poweroff reboot by hardware button”.
This has happened a few times after long standby (over 20 minutes).
I’ve been unable to switch to tty for further investigations..

According to the ppl in #eeepc the cpu of the eeepc4g doesn’t support speedstep and they advised me to disable p4-clockmod since can cause unstability.
I found also on wiki.eeeuser.com that the default clock of the eeepc is 630mhz and is not possible to change it in any way (but there is an experimental linux kernel module to bring up to 900mhz the clock, at a cost of unstability).
this needs investigation, if its true, then it should be advisable to remove the modules from the eeepc special install...
w/o p4-clockmod my system seems very responsive while on battery, and the duration of the battery seems unchanged: 2.50h.
I suggest to make some test with the eeepc, i am doing the same.

With ELive 1.9.20 and on my Acer Aspire One I cannot boot up into X when on battery.

The boot is taking EXTREMELY long time and when it finally does something I get a console login.
Upon login it complains that all FS are readonly and hence fails to create the proper locks for X to startup.

very simply:
EEEPC mute hotkey is not configured

error on an insert of a CD rewritable on the second (slave) CD-driver

the error message display “échec au montage de disque CD-RW” (the title was translated and means the mount failed ;
the next part of the message wasn’t translated):
Method “mount” with signature “ssas” on interface “org.freedesktop.hal.device.volume” doesn’t exist
– End of the error message

The CD wasn’t mounted.
Next try with the same CD on the first (master) CD-Driver : works fine.

I installed 1.9.21.
Installation worked fine. But after reboot I could not login again.
The login-screen appears and works well untill the system tries to start the “Desktop” But the Desktop does not appear, instead of the Login-Screen appears again and again and again and....

I also tried a login-console and login worked fine! But the bash did not “know” the command “entranced”.

After upgrading my elive i noticed that XV video was no longer playable in mplayer.
Fiddled around till i found the reason the
Option “VideoOverlay” “on”
which i had in my previous xorg.conf was missing in the new one
I added it under Section “Device” restarted it and the XV is working again
moreover now changing desktop with animation is far faster and more fluid.

here is my current xorg.conf

Hello
i confirm that 1.9.20-1.9.21 kernel panic during bootup when using the latest nonfree virtualbox (2.1.0).
This happens on an Athlon Xp 2200, on a centrino 1.4Ghz which have different versions of elive installed:
The athlon has 1.9.20 upgraded and the centrino has 1.9.18 dist-upped to current.

I’m running Elive 1.9.18 Development on laptop Msi VR630X. While running Skype I received a message that I don’t have webcam and microphone wasn’t working either (microphone and webcam are built-in).

new installation of 1.9.21, the machine has a matrox card, seems that it keeps double clicking.

Due in ver 2.0

please link prntscrn button to a prntscrn command

also please add

Shift+prntscrn for video recording

thank you

-David

<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

more and more often when i open small windows such as pidgin or amsn e17 puts them on the border of the screen so that i can see only a tiny piece...
i have then to grab then and move to a better position.
I don’t know if is smth related to wrong settings but for sure i didn’t have this is gnome and it doesn’t look nice..
