Hi!
My Notebook’s wifi does not work with Elive. It’s not even recognizing it’s wifi-device.
As far as I know it’s using an SIS163u wifi-device.

Hi!
VLC always shuts off when trying to open a videofile. It doesnt even send a message. It just says “VLC was closed without any message”

I have three operating systems on my machine. The 1st one is Windows Vista, the 2nd one is Windows XP and the 3rd one is eLive. eLive has been installed as the last one and brought GRUB with it. It has created four GRUB entries (1: eLive GEM+, 2: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Memory RAM Diagnostic). Every entry works fine, only when I select Vista then XP comes up and when I select XP then Vista comes up. So either the descriptions or the boot devices are swapped. I am not clear about the devices. Vista has one disk, eLive and XP share the other disk. This is my menu.lst:

title Elive Gem+ 
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.8-elive-686 root=UUID=5f5c337c-c679-413e-b9e7-1cbcdc0107ae vga=791 splash=silent resume=UUID=a756b053-617a-439b-8fb9-50d97962aa84
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26.8-elive-686

# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.

Hi there, I have installed eLive Gem+ compiz on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics adapter. Both the included mplayer and vlc from the repositories flicker when watching movies. This seems independent from the movie format and the payer.

Hi there,

I have installed yakuake (a Quake-like shell) and when I reboot the system from this console then the graphical environment will not come up anymore afterwards. This is because the root filesystem (jfs) could not be mounted read-write anymore. Mount says the filesystem is rw but touch says the filesystem is read-only. fsck / followed by a reboot fixes the problem.

Hi there,

when I plug in my external DVD writer then the following appears in my syslog (/var/log/messages);

When I insert an Audio CD there is no more message concerning that in the log. Alsothe CD doesn’t appear somewhere like e.g. in Thunar or the filesystem under /mnt or /media. Shouldn’t it?

The default download directories of aMule are not userfriendly at all

Repeated lines to Standard out for close error: [Errorno 10] No child processes. It seems similar in nature to this bug at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2007-July/039036.html. Additionally the program that seems to be causing it is netconnectord.

“Normal” Music-CDs don’t get mounted and do not show up anywhere in the Filesystem.
That makes it impossible to play those CDs and also to copy them to the HDD.

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

Games like Wolfenstein not works directly by default, made a compatibility for this, start by add a script to load all the snd-*-oss modules at the init of the system, then see if directly works or needs to run with “aoss” (not so nice way (userfriendly))

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)

Hello - I have just earlier tried to download Elive stable and was forced to make a donation just to do that. The download failed because my computer crashed and since I was using a DSL-Linux live cd the link to the ftp site has not been saved. I live on a very tight budget and can not afford to waste my hard earned money for nothing. I need access to the download without having to make another donation or at least return the money back to my account so that I can give it another try without making a unneccesary loss.

Thanks, Patrick.

At first live boot on a pentium III 600Mhz medion model LT9399 (3D AGP 8Mo), asus L7000G)portable the screen is black with slight difference. Unable to see and to manage with installation when Ctrl+ALt+Tab change user seem to give the correct light screen but in a little while the system shut down....

If i use slovenian language keyboard all the keys dont work. There are only few keys working. Aproximatly 10 keys. If i use english language all keys are working but i dont have then support for special regional letters like (Š???Ž)

I noticed this problem in all elive version (stable and development)

This is a picture how the layout is looking like

Looks like it is not really possible to have a full utf-8 working system on console mode, this mades a lot of translated messages (like in spanish(á, é, í...), or russian) bad readable, broken, crappy...

Maybe is a fixable bug since looks like to work in the installed system

If is not fixable, remove liveboot translations

during install get error not enough free space message reads

udev 10240 84 10156 1% /dev

during install of live cd crashes out at about 90-95% saying not enough free space and following message

I added Gadgets-Icons to my Desktop. Then I found that they have no function and, even worse, I cant remove them anymore!

I added them like this:
Left-clicked the Desktop →Settings →Gadgets → select “Settings” or “Temperature” →click apply.

But I cannot find a way to remove them!
AND they cannot be moved and also do not have any use.

Here you can see a Screenshot:

If unetbootin is selected, there’s no a language set, if is the case, popup a dialog asking for a language

What does if you dont press anything in the boot menu ? (maybe keyboard not working?), is the variable set to english or to nothing ? (Note: there’s a part in the boot that sets english if there’s not anything set)

Hibernate/suspend features are not stable in some computers, maybe the hibernate* tool in elive should ask/warning about this before to do it

Hi! I really like working with Eltrans. It’s a really nice tool!
It would be nice to have the Possibility of translating everything Elive-related with Eltrans. For example all e17-Modules. And later maybe even other Applications?

:)

PS: Thana your work really rocks! I’ve never been so keen on any OS! I wish I could help you more.

Waking up after suspend is unpredictable. Typically stops before attempting to restore the desktop. (Sometimes the recovery is normal).
