 412 2009-06-282009-07-27Bug Report elive_1.9.31_unstable ISO file - Grub Menu is wrong! Closeddaikatana
100%
Task Description

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...

 411 2009-06-262010-03-02Bug Report Aspire One D150 ( 10'' netbook ) audio does not works Closedklamath
100%
2.0 Task Description

After perspide a lot I started the live version via usb-pendrive

well, the 1.9.31 unstable is very attractive
I’m a long term OpenSuSE user and elive seems very fast and beatiful.

But now the problem :
with the aspire one D150 ( 10 inches netbook ) the audio does not works
I had the same problem in OpenSuSE 11.1 and I heard in many other distributions
The problem is due to the kernel version and to alsa version ( I would ask you, why if this release is out yesterday
you choose to exit with a 2.6.26 kernel when kernel.oeg report last stable at 2.6.30 ?? )
for audio to works it is necessary 2.6.29 or newer and alsa 1.0.19 or newer.
( can I install update them without problem or have I to wait they are suited for elive itself ? )
wifi ( atheros ) and eth works good and the Iceweasel is very very light and fast.
card reader too works perfectly
I tried to connect a umts usb-stick but did not found any program who manages it ( maybe I have to work on it )
webcam works

 410 2009-06-242009-07-10Bug Report Entrance  ClosedLludw
100%
Task Description

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.

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.

 396 2009-04-272010-01-19Bug Report Elive 1.x Gem+ (development version) needs better drive ...Closedarv3n
100%
2.0 Task Description

On the latest Elive testing ISO (1.9.24), the system fails to boot since it can’t detect the base system. Debian Lenny also does the same thing.

I asked on the Debian IRC and apparently there is no support for my cd drive in the 2.6.26 kernel. I’d like this added so I can boot elive. might as well just update to a newer kernel if you ask me (but that’s not my place).

Elive Gem works fine. If you want I can provide additional information.
