Running the tests branch of the repos with the latest e17, the screensaver (xscreensaver daemon) cannot permanently enabled from Elpanel.It has to be started from screensaver prefs.

Hola! No se mucho inglés, así que escribo en español:

Tengo un portatil Acer TravelMate 4002 WLMi con smart baterry. Elive no reconoce el estado de la batería, más concretamente, elive cree que el portatil está conectado continuamente a corriente aunque eso no sea así. Así mismo no me monitoriza la carga de la batería aunque si sabe que es un portatil. Creo que es por el kernel. En ubuntu cuando actualizas a la versión 16 del kernel pasa lo mismo, sin embargo en la versión 15 funciona perfectamente.

Hi !

after a new install of Elive Gem 1.0 on my Laptop, i had this Problem again. Elive does not show the time and Date correctly again.

I Updated the whole system but the Problem Still exist, then i tried to use tzconfig to solve it but even when i choose the correct time Zone it keeps showing the wrong time, another thing i did is to use the UTC timezone but then it shows me the correct time but a wrong Date.

BTW. I have only ELive on my System and there is no Windows on it

I use Aspire Laptop : Model 5550 from Acer.

Hi there!

Can you please add this driver to Elive in the next version. I have this Sound card:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

It works under Elive, but i am not able to control it well :

Simple Example:

When i insert the Jack of the Mic the speakers of the Laptop keep on, whatever i did , then are all the time active.

When i try to mute the sound from Sound Mixer then i can not get sound through the MIC ( Both the Mic and the Speakers are muted ).

The next version of Mandriva solved this Problem. As i installed the Cooker version on my Laptop, i was able to control the sound correctly. You can have a look to there next version and fix this under Elive.

Thanks alot in advance,
FreeEagle

Cinelerra won’t launch for me using the latest e17 from the “tests” branch of the Elive repos (it has never launched, even when I tried
it under the default e17 from Gem).

When I try to run it, I get a small, transparent window in the upper
left corner of my screen. When I close that window, I get this error
message:

“Application Execution Error: Cinelerra stopped running unexpectedly.
There was no error message. An exit code of 1 was /usr/bin/cinelerra.”

By the way, it does launch under e16, but with an error message about memory...

I just installed Elive stable and when I reboot and try to login, Elive tells me that my password is incorrect (I tryed it a lot of times, included in failsafe mode)

It would be useful to be able to choose a partition for /home without formatting it during the elive installation

version: 9 b9 elivemac
When the keyboard layout is changed from the elive panel, it is not changed on ttys. The layout is changed in X but the keyboard is always qwerty on ttys.

There is any way to go back one or, maybe, several steps on the installation?... because I made a mistake and I couldn’t go back.

Thanks!

This could be not considered even a “feature request” because is my own desire.

During the installation of Elive, sometimes you have to wait several minutes between installation steps. During this minutes I have tempted to do some other things (in fact I was using the IRC).

But I had a problem with my installation because an installation window suddenly raised to focus and I pressed “space” (because I’m writting on the IRC) and, obviously the installation window assumed that I’ve pressed some button on its screen.

The fact is that maybe installation windows doesn’t have to raise to focus or maybe, no keyboard shortcuts would be available on those screens.

1. There are several windows in the installation of Elive GEM that has a “generic” name on the top. And would be really better if we could write a correct description. Examples:

• Many windows has “SELECTS ITEMS FROM THE LIST”. That’s a generic name and it doesn’t reveal the content of the window when you press alt+tab. For example in: “Select partitioning method”, “Choose partition”, “Choose filesystem”.

This is particulary annoying when you are doing other things while installing. For example I had many windows opened and I didn’t noticed that “SELECTS ITEMS FROM THE LIST” was the “Select partitioning mehotd”.

NOT A BUG - Request for feature

I am not able to compile things such as vmware server or the cisco vpn client against the running kernel despite having kernel headers and/or source installed and linked.

If you try to install on existing partition, there’s little in your install GUI to identify the partition you are attempting to install to. In my case hdb1 hdb4 hdb5 were what was listed, with no specific info about any. I had two windows 2000 fat32 partitions, c: and d: and two linux partitions, a swap, and the main EXT3 partition to which Mepis was installed. as I installed, I reasoned that d: would be the middle, thus hdb4, but something made me retrace my steps. I quit the install and started again. I opened gparted this time, My mepis partition was hdb5! I would have overwritten 30 gig of data had I used hdb4! I can usually recognize the partition if a size is given, or even better, if the format type (fat 32 or linux swap or EXT2, or EXT3 or reiserfs or whatever...) I felt left in the dark at this stage, I caught my error, but not by much... If there’s a way to add this info to the installer it would greatly help people like me...

<Thanatermesis>
This is a bit confusing. When you are installing Elive on a disk that has already partitioned, it could be nice if we can show the “partition type” and “partition size” in order to identify where Elive will be installed.
It’s not a bug, but it’s still opened as a “feature request” </Thanatermesis>

During my install of Elive from the development live cd, the text box came first, then the choice box came under it, hidden. I may have clicked the text box as the choice came up, causing this trouble. When nothing seemed to happen, I moved the box to find the choices underneath. Possible confusion, If the choice comes out beside and visible, no more trouble...

elive uses oldatapi driver. brasero and k3b and xcdroast all recognize the drive but don’t burn CD’s.

XCdroast advizes to use scsi emulation, but that doesn’t seem to work also.

I would like to request a couple of items be added to the installer for ease of use.

• I use VPN to get into my home network, this would be a nice package to have installed already.
• The package installer seems straight forward, but when you choose to install the extra apps, where do they go? Did they get installed or just downloaded? Maybe some literature included as a help link within the installer would be nice, or an interaction from the installer to place downloaded items into the programs menu, even under one category like recent installs or something.
• E16 and E17 are very different in nature, but I would like to see some of the features combined. I like the raise up of the E16 on the bottom menu, but hate that it does not show battery consumption, Temperature and time. Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?

I can be the guinea pig for these changes if necessary. I think this is one of the better distros, so keep up the good work.

Is it possible to add bidi support to e17 so right to left languages wont be displayed backwards. and also after changing font of the titlebar the title font of windows with default borders wont change.

Hi there!

I would like to ask you to add the Hibernate Feature to Elive in the next stable version, this is a very handy feature especially for those who use Laptops.

Computer : Dell Inspiron 1100 with intel i845 graphic chip

Problem : with VLC or mplayer

I can switch a video to fullscreen mode, but, i can’t switch back to normal size, i have a black screen, with all possible video output (XV, X11, OpenGL.....)

I found a temporary solution :

Open a video normaly with mplayer, then do ALT + Right Click, fullscreen

There, E17 will switch the window in fullscreen, mplayer doesn’t anything and to switch back in normal size, do the same operation, ALT = Right Click, uncheck fullscreen.

This problem appears since 0.6.7 from memomry.

Some feature taken from forexample gnome would be nice..

Thunar lost his root privilegue after some apt-get upgrade to umount device. Only in console as a root I can now do it..
