There is some files that are ziped but are protected with passwords, the concerned programme under Elive can not recognize that automatically, i should first start the Archievmanager manually then put the password in the field to be able to unzip the file, but i know it is possible to make this automatically but just one click, ( Unzip ) then the Programme gives a field this just in case that the File are protected with password to enter.

AUtmatic Update manager, its a really need for Elive. I would like to see it in the next versions.

Users do not know when they should do Update, especially New users.

running .6.1 unstable as live...
after filling out info for wifi config (this version works at this point, see bug report 57) I then hit the ‘activate’ button
keyboard entry is locked immediately...
after ~one minute (and/or after clicking activation button for the second time, as wifi was not enabled) mouse clicks no longer work, although cursor can still move around the screen and to different desktops, and after another minute, movement of cursor is limited to current desktop... I have not witnessed cursor being immobilized, but imagine that would happen after another period of time...
(witnessed this in dreamlinux 4.2 which also has the 2.6.18 kernel)

Chosing keyboard layout diferent from english switches direktly to it. And loging becomes inposible. I think there should be some hot key for swutching between english and other kayboard layout.

Hi

I have elive Rev rl2 on my IBM thinkpad and for some reason when I try to boot I end up with a black screen or a blackscreen with a non-flashing comand promt just as the entrance logon screen is about to load as though the system has crashed at this point. It didn’t happen when I first installed elive but then when I tried to boot a second time after installation it happened. I thought maybe it was something I did and tried to reinstall but this time it took about 10 restarts before even the eliveCD would boot entrance properly in live mode. Anyway I reinstalled it seemed to work for a while and then again just now, entrance would not boot properly again even in recovery mode. I finally got it up again after repeatedly turning the laptop off and on again.

When entrance loads elive 0.6+ rl2 works perfectly, (such a perfect lil distro my battery even lasts 3-4hr twice that that with any other OS) it just this issue with entrance not being booted properly that’s the problem.

Is there something I have to change in the monitor setup, i.e. frequency? how do I do this in recovery mode comand line?

Thank

Module Mount kills ALSA + net eth0 + wlan. IBM T30+EliveCD installed 5.4 + Kernel 2.6.15.7 + usbmgr

The system freeze when configure in the menu panel the key binding settings.

Elive 0.53 unstable using fglrx driver option....fails and the screen rest black and any key or combination works.
Just after choosing between ati driver options.
With 0.51 unstable works well.
My pc: AMD 1000, ATI-9550 and Compaq 17” monitor.

Good opinion would be to install all programs through ALSA emulation to support SW mixing of sound for more than one voice/program grabbing sound.Who doesn’t have HW mixer supporting this,will have a nightmare (skype,XMMS,GAIM...)

Be patient with these installs:

Wine + WinMed.player (ie6),localization of Firefox,loacalization of Thunderbird,VLC,maybe Xine or others..

These will overwrite default settings for plugins to firefox and is not very easy to get them back to be driven by MP Embeded plugin.Can’t be deleted or rerouted.

Not bug,just stupid made programs-they don’t ask,just do.

When installing Elive Revolution rl2 on hard drive (SATA drive), I asked the installer to place GRUB in the root partition (I wanted to keep the NT bootloader). However, my MBR was deleted and booting was impossible (actually I don’t know where GRUB was installed, if it was). I had to launch the installer again and ask to put GRUB on the MBR to recover a working system. So this is not a critical problem, but it can be stressing !

When trying to build an eap the icon selector confuses and piles the folders randomly, so that is hard to browse for icons: most folders are hidden by other ones..
moreover selecting an icon is possible only with double click and that opens gimp.

i tried to install cxoffice, and the installation goes fine, however no menu entry is created, even if everything works fine.
this happens with many programs and it is a pity

GTKPod is under found under utils → file manager. I think it makes more sense to put GTKPod in Audio as it’s used for audio. This is just a suggestion.

I think Elive would look nice with a nice, polished grub boot menu.

When I plug in my IPod it causes two instances of Thunar to open. This is a rather trivial, but annoying bug, as I immediately have to close one instance of Thunar and click cancel when it asks me to if I wish to unmount the device.
I think it would be better if Thunar didn’t open when I insert my IPod. Instead GTKPod could handle IPods and other mp3 players by default instead of Thunar as most people won’t use Thunar for IPod management (as it can’t sync, read, etc.) only GTKPod.

The current default GTK theme for the Night look is too dark in my opinion. OO.org2 has a dark background with blueish font colour which is a bit distrasting and hard on the eyes.
I found the following Neos theme at...

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=24229

It still maintains that dark look while allowing gtk applications to still have the traditional white background with black font. It also has nice rounded window borders.

mount ntfs filesystem with rw attributes in live mode, it forced re-check filesystem for win in the next boot.

When I put a usb key for exemple elive mount it on /media/XXX with the user option. Is not realy a bug but the user option implies noexec, nosuid, et nodev option. I think noexec is not a cool option because I have often program on my key and is not a security because you can start a script for exemple like this /bin/sh ./script.sh. my proposition keep the user option but remove noexec. more information here → http://linuxfr.org/forums/15/7853.html (french)

Hello
i wish to know if it would be possible to have a gimp unstable build, since the old gimp is almost unusable due to having menues completely crazy, the new one is totally stable i am currently using on ubuntu.

The driver for bcm43xx(broadcom 4318) is buggy(unusable), the best way is using ndiswrapper and windows*sic* drivers, contact me if you need something!
