[wordE ~]$ gmail-notify
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./notifier.py", line 6, in <module>
  import gtk
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
  from gtk import _gtk

ImportError: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size

Some solution!

I have just downloaded and burnt elive, tried to install on PC & get the following on screen:

My sys is an asus P5E3, intel core 2 duo, GeForce 8800gt with 4gig of ddr3.

I’m using 1.9.26.
From time to time it simply “looses” the resolution-settings of xorg.conf
Manually rewriting it does not help a thing.
The only way to solve this is to completely overwrite it with a backupfile.

Please add this Resolution to Elive :

1920×1080

Keyboard layout problem.
Found on Elive 1.9.30 When Elive installed on russian (at least & seems the same when change system language from elpanel). The problem appear after loggin in.
It is in xorg.conf

	Option "XkbLayout" "ru,us(winkeys)"

Correct is

	Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)"

When I attempt to change the theme for Entrance using using the command entrance_edit –theme <path to theme file>, entrance & x will not start. Fortunately I have Gdm installed as well & am able to boot from the Elive CD, then was able to edit /mnt/(my partition)/etc/X11/default-display-manager from entranced to gdm.
This allowed me to log back into my account after rebooting. To get it back to normal I have to completely uninstall all entrance files, reboot, log back in & then reinstall the entrance files & reboot again & entrance is back working. but how ever I am not able to change the theme for entrance using the entrance_edit –theme <path to theme file> command.

Subj: elive_1.9.31_unstable ISO file - Grub Menu is wrong!

If you check the contents of the menu.lst file in the boot/grub folder and compare the kernel and initrd filenames in the menu to the actual filenames, you will see that they do not match (spelling issue with “_” and “-” characters), thus it is not possible to boot the system.
Since I was using FAT32 partition (with grub4dos and the original menu.lst file from the iso) to which I extracted the contents of the ISO file, I was able to boot the installer after editing the grub menu.lst file. I have yet to get the installer working correctly, since the system boots but doesn’t continue with the installer...

The options in the grub menu for the no sensors boot are wrong. It has duplicated the “nobluetooth” parameter from the No bluetooth option above, and doesn’t contain any options to disable sensors.

(Apologies for not being able to provide much in the way of technical info.)

1.9.22 ecomp version
Eeepc901, ssd, first ssd partitioned in ext3/boot, reiserfs/root, linuxswap/.

What happens that I can see is the following. I choose hibernate, the system finds the swap- partition, writes to it, and shuts down. Upon reboot, tuxonice cannot find the hibernation state, and the system loses the swap. Seems likely this is normal, since the swap- partition is marked, and shouldn’t be overwritten - still, I am not able to figure out why tuxonice won’t attempt the restore. Attempted to set verbose mode, but no luck on the boot- section.. The init says swap:’huge md5- like checksum’, etc. Attempted to increase the swap- partition, also change it to a different drive, with the same result.

Hello,
i ask for a features, because the terminla on Elive, not cool!
we need the best of the terminal :
[quote]
Terminator: A multi-view terminal

Terminator gives the possibility of having multiples terminal within the sa
As such, it makes it easier to handle multiple terminal sessions as for instance, working in one console and monitoring another one without constantly switching from a window to another.

At the moment, Terminator is available for Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Sid. Anyhow, the source are available from https://launchpad.net/terminator/+download. Once installed, you can start a new terminator session by executing terminator :).
From there, you will be able to split views either by Right-Clicking on a terminal view or by typing the following keybindings:
terminator: terminator multi-view terminalterminator: terminator multi-view terminal

• Ctrl-Shift-E: will split the view vertically.
• Ctrl-Shift-O: will split the view horizontally.
• Ctrl-Shift-P: will focus be active on the previous view.
• Ctrl-Shift-N: will focus be active on the next view.
• Ctrl-Shift-W: will close the view where the focus is on.
• Ctrl-Shift-Q: will exit terminator.
• F11: will make terminator go fullscreen.

i hope i can see it on the next release, what do u think about this?

How about adding some nice tools to overcome wifi-encryption?
It would be nice not to have to seek for public-hotspots, but to be able to break into nearly each wifi-network to use it for free.

I like using “Sticky mode” (i.e. traditional X sticky so it sticks on all desktops)because I keep one terminal window with a screen session on all desktops.

When setting “Sticky mode” for a window, window often spontaneously disappears or moves somewhere else. Temporary solution is to left-click on desktop and click “Lost Windows” and find it there. The window will then usually be found on desktop 0:1.

I am using dual-monitor configuration with both monitors as one desktop with elive-compiz. I do not have this problem on single-screen elive-compiz on a laptop, so this is probably some kind of issue with X and twinview/xinerama.

Thanks for the most awesome distro ever.

Hi!

Can you please add this Driver of this Printer to Elive, it is a great Printer. The Link of the Driver is:

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0031118.asp?model=

There is a simple instruction how to add this Driver and the Printer to Debian, but it did not work for me well, i had to start cups whenever i want to print out somthing, and under the superuser mode. This is the Link for it :

Thank you very much.

Hi!

Would you please add this Resolution to Elive:

1920×1080 , this should be directly recognized by start of Elive.

Thank you very much

Hi!

I noticed yesterday when i tried after 2 hours of working on Elive (last Dev. Version elive_1.9.37_unstable) to restart my X-server, that the x-server restarts, but it keeps can’t loging in in my system again, and show me just the Black Screen. I have Nvidia Graphic Card, i user the Nvidia Driver shipped with Elive, but not the last one ( the one with Graphic Card up to 512M RAM) my Graphic Card is Nvidia FX 5200 AGP, and the resolution of my Monitor is 1920×1080 Full HD , Viewsonic Flat screen. I had at last to restart my system by pressing at one Ctrl-alt- del combination to restart the estem, because the system did not want to give me anyone of the other console modes to login and do anything. By the way, i added my xorg.conf to add my resolution manually. thats all what i did. Please repare this Problem.

FreeEagle

Version 1.9.38(18/08/09) , boot problems , no graphical system , single boot: option (Failsafe boot problems).
After install, no usplash.

When installing on a HP Pavilion dv6000, sl-modem-daemon (and sl-modem-modules-KERNEL) gets installed, and they mess up the fine tune process.

Sometimes it just freezes and goes no further but sometimes it produces a kernel oops.

I’ve removed the sl-modem-daemon and modules since I have no use for it (and I cannot turn off the modem in the bios of the laptop).
And now the fine tune just completed.

(a newcomer might not realize what to do to make it work and then give up on the installation)

When asking to create a user - it might be a good idea to ask if the installer should create more users.

This could be useful if it was to be installed on a family computer.

(Something along the lines of the request to add more partitions when partitioning the hard disk)

It is needed to set some extra configurations for when there’s Intel cards in Elive Compiz:

• change mplayer conf to use X11 (or GL is better option?), and set the zoom ON
• Update: set the X11 or GL as a choice for the user (in case of any elive-compiz, not only intel), explaining how to configure it later and what’s the difference between them
• xine: use xshm or gl output (ask to the user too, or better, include the answer of the previous question for selection there too)
• gstreamer-properties for configure gstreamer to use X11 instead of XV
• xorg: set XAA instead of EXA (see deliver configuration for eeepc)
• export INTEL_BATCH=1 in /etc/profile
• set a different launcher for skype (.desktop) that uses: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=4417cd748721d80e99c902e2857eb6d8&showtopic=328901&st=0&p=1622441&#entry1622441

This might be considered both a bug and a feature request, depending on your point of wiev.

It is (as of verision 1.9.37, as far as I know also in 1.9.39) impossible to connect to wireless networks protected by WEP encryption using a shared key (as opposed to having an open system).

In the standard connection/network manager application this seems to be due to the fact that there is no oprion to actually set the encryption of a WEP-protected network to “shared” as you don’t get any options besides condifuring the key used (i.e. you can’t select the key index, key number etc).

However, even after switching network management software to something more complete/full-featured (such as Wicd, which I tested) and configuring the connection properly the problem persist, in that it refuses to connect.

Could be nice and not very hard to implement an automatic tracer reporter, this means, a kind of pre-launcher for the interface (bash that calls the python code) with waiting error trace messages, if there’s these messages, they will be send to... somewhere, in some way

What you think ?

Hi,
I update my stable version and my NVIDIA card not run actually.
I would compil the nvidia-kernel to resolv this problem but it’s impossible (problem whit gcc version).
