I have burned a few .iso of Elive Topaz 2.0 (stable) 001 that have passed the MD5-Checksum comparison and that I have burned at slow speeds to ensure no errors. Every time I boot the CD I get stuck at this error “mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically” Where it waits for 7 minutes before finally performing the rest of the boot process. This has happened both on a Latitude D630 and Latitude E6400.

PLEASE be describable, clear, and direct. Think that we need to understand, found, and solve the bug.

Remember to set the Due in Version box into the next stable version number.

Thank you
Since 1.9.52 Unstable and 2.6.30.9 kernel version all the Elive releases are very “unstable” and buggy for my system,both in live and installed mode,with or without ecomorph enabled,the system totally freezes after no more than 5 minutes and it can’t be unlocked with ctrl+alt+backspace or alt+PrintScreenSysRq+REISUB,only with forced reboot.The pppoe internet connection is very unstable too with many disconnections and very slow speed.In rest the system is very fast even in ecomorph mode.
Personally I blame the latest 2.6.30.9 kernel version,with older 2.6.26-2 version I haven’t got these problems.

Don’t know if it’s bug from distro or from my “work” on installed distro.. Well, command hibernate from terminal in root mode works great but from keyboard hotkey settings of from shut down dialog doesn’t work and it claims I have no hibernate able computer..

All those icons look crap in ibox...
they need to be changed with higher res ones..

1. Pidgin
2. Transmission
3. Cream
4. icedove (not so nice icon)
5. Avidemux
6. meld
7. nicotine
8. amule
9. synaptic
10. openoffice’s
11. please try all the icons of elive and see yourself, lazy !

Those among all the ones i have installed.

Hi!
My Notebook’s wifi does not work with Elive. It’s not even recognizing it’s wifi-device.
As far as I know it’s using an SIS163u wifi-device.

Waking up after suspend is unpredictable. Typically stops before attempting to restore the desktop. (Sometimes the recovery is normal).

Wireless Network can’n use in LAPTOP DELL INSPIRON 1525.

use spanish please.

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

After bypassing  bug 413  (http://bugs.elivecd.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=413&project=2&order=dateopened&sort=desc) and booting without an SD card present, keymap selection and resolution selection can take place.
After X starts up, and the Enlightment desktop displays, the system will shut down after about 30 seconds to 1 minute, whether one uses the system or not.

I think it might be related to the loading of both acer-wmi and MadWifi, since they are known not to play nice together. Other distros such as ubuntu blacklist acer-wmi for the Acer Aspire One models. Using geubuntu (a E17 based ubuntu distro) no such shutdown happens.

Further debugging is not possible, since any logfiles are gone when the system shuts down.

This is a bunch of tests, please see if you can reproduce these problems and if happens to you too, add a comment on this ticket

this package should be installed in the final system

A friend of mine has an ethernet modem
It worked fine till yesterday when i upgraded his system, from then it didn’t work anymore.
pppoeconf tells that it can’t find any address concentrator on the ethernet, and it doesn’t work.
I have no clue how to fix it, since there shouldn’t be any kernel or driver issue (since is an ethernet modem).

After loading in live mode or after install with Russian (Ukranian,Bulgarian and so) as language for system. We need to Elive automaticaly change default font to Sans. It is needed for them who using cyrillics. Without this we can see only squares Instead of letters somewhere (in control panel for example).

Font of E17 theme, basically

Net connector doesn’t autoconnect to a profile in ethernet even if auto connect is set up.
this as today upgrade

Ubuntu doesn’t set any password to root by default, this is a very good idea (ironic), so that the migration mode of the installer works perfectly but when the user want to do anything with root... can’t do anything, cant login, nothing... since there’s no password

Add a verifier of root passwords in the migration/upgrade mode so that will request it if is empty

I will need a sample line of the root file / etc/shadow in order to know how to detect it

Installing in /dev/hdb1 for example, grub generates a configuration using (hd0,0), where it should be (hd1,0)

The questions is...

• with which disk you boot the computer ? hda or hdb ?
• where you have selected to install grub ? (if the installer has asked you this)

I think that the selector of grub needs to be rewrited... in case that is not hda or sda, ask allways to the user about which/where to install grub, a better look needs to be made on this side

please comment this ticket, i need your info for fix it :P

Aparently the configuration for console-setup is not set

Somebody has reported me that recently, no one of its computers will connect to internet automatically (wired), after to talk a bit with him i have discover that he has just set a own profile name to their connections (instead to keep the default name)

Cause: He has changed the default profile to other name

This could be a very common problem, the users don’t know that they needs to use the name default in order to have it to autoconnect or it will not work.

Fix: What I think that could be a good fix is to don’t permit the user to change the name default on the profile, until there’s actually a profile called default existing and that has the autoconnect set to Yes. Any better idea ?

run this command from the live mode using CDROM (no usb): dmesg | grep -i error | grep “I/O” and please paste in the comments a block of ‘code’ mode the result

The spaces on the ESSID is not fully supported, on some pieces of the interface (list of essid’s and status) are only show the first word, the good point is that it does connect correctly here (essid is “scg & volcanica”), but the status looks like are not correctly showed (like it not connected).

This is a minor-preference bug

If you partition up your disk and want /boot to be JFS then Grub just shows the “Grub is now loading” with the “Stage 1.5” at the top.

I’ve tried to load up the livecd and mount and chroot into the installed environment to run grub manually, but that does not work either.

This is both for elive 1.9.36-compiz and the .37 non-compiz.

Attempting to escape from prisoner status at M$. Have tried many distros over past few months, E17-Compiz my favorite so far. Have downloaded and installed latest version, 1.9.40 and during installation process, of course, installer verfied my download as being good.

Problem 1) No audio, Audacity (the Denon player)and Audio CD extractor both DEAD, nothing happens, no instruction. However, when I play a DVD, using movie player, I have sound? Either bug or are there special codecs that need to be downloaded to play CD’s and MP3‘s?

Problem 2) Each and EVERY time I boot E17-compiz, after it finalizes, a window pops up saying it needs to “fine tune”. This process takes almost 10-15 mins and always ends with: ERROR: Module slamr does not exist in /proc/modules. It would seem something in the loading of the info off the Live CD is incompatible? I have deleted and re-installed whole system, same problem, cannot stop/prevent “FINE TUNE”

Problem 3) E17-Compiz will NOT shut down. Go to System, power off and a window pops up advising of shut down, but stating: “please wait” After 10 minutes of waiting, still nothing happening. This problem happens every single time requiring me to Alt + SysRq+O to get out. Perhaps the shut down and fine tune are related as E17-compiz is not shutting down properly and is noted on the next boot triggering the “fine tune”.

If these are not “bugs” (although I have spent hours on each problem) please advise corrective measures in simple, easy to follow instruction. I note forum is not much help on most problems and this is one thing that really discourages people who are trying to leave M$ from going to Linux.

I am happy to pay for support or even to financially invest in this project as I like what I see, but am discouraged that basic things like sound, boot up and shut down do not work. I can understand and appreciate E17-Compiz is not stable, but one would think basics such as these would be way beyond the unstable/in development mode.

Thanks for any help you can provide and if bugs, I hope they can be corrected asap.

Hi!
I’m using Elive-dev 1.9.48 and tried testing nurse-mode.
It started booting and when the System asked for my root-password it did not accept it but kept on asking for the password again and again.

Is it possible the system simply loaded the wrong keymap?

thank you very much!
