Using IceWeasel 2.0.0.3-1-2 (elive repository) extensions are forcedfully added for known fyletypes. Given a file filename.pdf, once downloaded it will be called filename.pdf.pdf, unles the user removes the extension in the file save dialog. I’ve seen the same behaviour with ppt, doc, tgz and other kind of files.
Unknown extensions are preserved with no problem (edj files).

kernel module missing for:

This prevents installation on systems with this card.

I believe that support is added for this controller in newer Linux kernels

Keyboard layout selection doesn’t work at grub menu

The eap file of Elitaire is wrong. The executable “Elitaire”, must be “elitaire”

Some feature taken from forexample gnome would be nice..

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.

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...

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”.

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.

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

after updating to unstable, /home/myuseraccount is gone, creating a new user works and after reboot new user is gone and old account is back

Tried Elive on a cd. works great. Loaded Elive using the installer on the cd and all went well. I rebooted after it finished, I type in my user name and password and hit enter. The system will go down for a second and Elive will start again and the process starts all over. I cannot log in. Any help would be great.....

I don’t know why I can’t get dual screen (monitors) setup in Elive one is an lcd the other is a regular monitor...I got them both working in Ubuntu...Video card is 512MB Nvidia GeForce 6800...With three outs 1.VGA monitor connector 2.TV/S- HDTV connector 3.DVI connector...The monitor connected to DVI is the one that doesn’t work...VGA works fine...Haven’t tried TV/s-HDTV yet...I’m using the new Nvidia driver also.

Thanks for a distro that has wireless working right out of the box, and flash, and quicktime, and even avi playing. But that is even a little flaky. But it wont play dvd’s using mplayer or oxine, or any of the players that are on the rep. I have a compaq armada notebook that needs all networking connections working, internet working and I want my multimedia. Thanks for the try but I’m moving down the road to the next distro...One of these will work like it should....good luck

Hi, it is not a big bug,

after installing the Live CD to my system (Think Pad T22) the system didn’t work.
so i go through the config files, and there it was, in grub there was the first mistake, the drive was labeled there as sda2 and had to be hda2.
The same mistakes were in fstab, all drives were labeled with sda where hda were recommanded.
As i fixed it manual Elive workes grate for me.
