Elive

Hi I can’t use my wireless Edimax card as the shipped rt61 driver won’t work so i have to instead use this:

http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz

BUT it won’t compile in elive. the make command doesnt work even with headers and source installed. can someone please help.

I know i need to use this driver as i’ve used it before. the MAKE worked in ubuntu and fedora and was simple to get my edimax card working.

i’ve uninstalled the rt61 generic driver from elive ready to install this specific legacy one, can someone please give advice, i’m sure it’s just cos some symlinks are wrong or something.

terminal output:

root@EliveCanvas[/home/jonah/Desktop/rt61-cvs-2007100406/Module]# make
make: * /lib/modules/2.6.18-elive/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
rt61.ko failed to build!
make: * [module] Error 1

Ssh agent is unreacheable from ssh-add
no matter if started in a terminal, or in cli, ssh-add always give and unreacheable ssh-agent error.

My system has a TDK 48/14/48D USB CD-Burner, which I have used to burn all of my Linux distros, then subsequently boot and install from them in the same drive.

Not so with Elive 1.0 GEM! By the way, I checked the Checksum and it matched.

When I boot from this CD in this drive, I see two lines at the top of the screen:
Unknown keyword in the config file
Unknown keyword in the config file

Then I can select ‘English’ and ‘Default’, after which I can go no further than this screen:

Loading, please wait.....

....and nothing else happens :(

I have sent a copy of lsmod.txt to Thanatermesis

Thanks!

Hola! No se mucho inglés, así que escribo en español:

Tengo un portatil Acer TravelMate 4002 WLMi con smart baterry. Elive no reconoce el estado de la batería, más concretamente, elive cree que el portatil está conectado continuamente a corriente aunque eso no sea así. Así mismo no me monitoriza la carga de la batería aunque si sabe que es un portatil. Creo que es por el kernel. En ubuntu cuando actualizas a la versión 16 del kernel pasa lo mismo, sin embargo en la versión 15 funciona perfectamente.

Hi !

after a new install of Elive Gem 1.0 on my Laptop, i had this Problem again. Elive does not show the time and Date correctly again.

I Updated the whole system but the Problem Still exist, then i tried to use tzconfig to solve it but even when i choose the correct time Zone it keeps showing the wrong time, another thing i did is to use the UTC timezone but then it shows me the correct time but a wrong Date.

BTW. I have only ELive on my System and there is no Windows on it

I use Aspire Laptop : Model 5550 from Acer.

There is any way to go back one or, maybe, several steps on the installation?... because I made a mistake and I couldn’t go back.

Thanks!

This could be not considered even a “feature request” because is my own desire.

During the installation of Elive, sometimes you have to wait several minutes between installation steps. During this minutes I have tempted to do some other things (in fact I was using the IRC).

But I had a problem with my installation because an installation window suddenly raised to focus and I pressed “space” (because I’m writting on the IRC) and, obviously the installation window assumed that I’ve pressed some button on its screen.

The fact is that maybe installation windows doesn’t have to raise to focus or maybe, no keyboard shortcuts would be available on those screens.

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”.

I am not able to compile things such as vmware server or the cisco vpn client against the running kernel despite having kernel headers and/or source installed and linked.

Hi there!

I would like to ask you to add the Hibernate Feature to Elive in the next stable version, this is a very handy feature especially for those who use Laptops.

To print anything I can select in Abiword my printer. But nothing happens. From all other applications (browser, xpdf), the prints are ok. On the other hand to create a pdf file with Abiword is also ok.

I can boot Gem but not XP.....
TWO hard DRIVES : sda with XP (ntfs)

                  ide with Elive gem

The text of the error : Error 13 : Invalid or unsupported executable format

kernel module missing for:
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX (rev 10)

This prevents installation on systems with this card.

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

Sound card not found in VMWare, sound configuration tool states:

No supported PnP or PCI card found. Would you like to probe legacy ISA sound cards/chips?

In previous versions the sound worked.

This occurs in the latest release candidate.

From bug  FS#70 : [polish] - some polish national signs shows up as boxes on windows description and in aplication menu which is accesible after left click on desktop.

Maybe need retype this descriptions in pure UTF-8 environment?

The PCMCIA ports are not loaded or unaccessible. It won’t read any card.

The dutch translation in the installer doesn’t work. The header in the title are fine, but the text is still in English

Live CD doesn’t stops loading due to kernel panic: Thinkpad 600E with toshiba cdrom (24x) drive

message on screen:
invalid compressed format (err=2)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount rootfs on unknown block (1,0)

(on my desktop PC live mode works fine) Revolution 2 works fine on my thinkpad (has there been a change in method of compression??)

When USB device is mounted and not correctly unplugged/unmounted (for example my camera switched off after 10minutes of not using it),it is difficult to mount it again. System should remember what device was mounted where (for example for the time from startup the system)and if there comes message from device on USB,system should have a look if it was already mounted this session and write it again in FSTAB.

en livecd, o en la version instalada, (0.6.7) la webcam Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0ac8:305b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. no funciona, es reconocida y la imagen sale en negro, en debian etch con el gspca-modules para su nucleo funciona, pero con el nucleo de elive no :/ eso es todo :D

[polish] - ntfs directories which has polish national signs in their names are not visible after ntfs is mounted

I have a couple old computers with Ati Rage 128 Pro 32MB cards. In both Revolution releases the detection of the video card dos not work properly and asks to choose fglrx, radeon or VESA drivers for X11, the first two failing, obviously, and the third one being terribbly slow.
The driver to use is r128, and changing that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restarting the X system everything works perfectly.

APM is not being loaded during bootup. Even if acpi is disabled and apm is modprobe’d after boot, upon shutdown, the screen of the laptop will only blur and the laptop will not turn off. If you are in live mode, the cd will eject, but the laptop will not turn off. One note to keep in mind is that you cannot modprobe apm in version 0.5.1 as the OS complains about missing libraries.

This bug, which I earlier posted for “Revolution”, occurs in 0.5 dev as well.

The live cd does not boot from a firewire dvd-recorder; at least not the one which came with my Acer Travelmate 3012wtmi.

Both Debian and Ubuntu boot with no problem at all (Debian used to have the same problem before, though) and in Gentoo, it works when the “doscsi” kernel argument is passed. I have not successfully booted Elive with this drive, however.

I don not think this will be a problem very hard to fix; it just needs to be detected ;).

I will try the latest Elive as well (downloading now) and report, but I don not expect it to work, since this bug is not mentioned on the “Fixed Bugs” list.

Mouse speed REALLY slow for dell inspiron 510m when x is started..

To fix it, I needed to add:

Option        "SHMConfig"     "on"

to the section in xorg.conf:

Section “InputDevice”

Identifier  "Synaptics"
Driver      "synaptics"

EndSection

(this allows one to set the synaptic properties in real time in X)

Also, these needed to be set:

      Option      "LeftEdge"         "75"
      Option      "RightEdge"        "790"
      Option      "TopEdge"          "58"
      Option      "BottomEdge"       "600"
      Option      "FingerLow"        "14"
      Option      "FingerHigh"       "15"
      Option      "MaxTapTime"       "180"
      Option      "MaxTapMove"       "220"
      Option      "MaxDoubleTapTime" "140"
      Option      "ClickTime"        "100"
      Option      "FastTaps"         "1"
      Option      "EmulateMidButton" "75"
      Option      "VertScrollDelta"  "10"
      Option      "HorizScrollDelta" "10"
      Option      "MinSpeed"        "0.3"
      Option      "MaxSpeed"        "0.75"
      Option      "AccelFactor"     "0.05"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMinZ"  "30"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMaxZ"  "160"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "0"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "400"
      Option      "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "0"
      Option      "UpDownScrolling" "1"
      Option      "TouchpadOff"    "0"
      Option      "GuestMouseOff"  "0"
      Option      "LockedDrags"    "0"
      Option      "RTCornerButton" "2"
      Option      "RBCornerButton" "3"
      Option      "LTCornerButton" "0"
      Option      "LBCornerButton" "0"
      Option      "TapButton1"     "1"
      Option      "TapButton2"     "2"
      Option      "TapButton3"     "3"
      Option      "CircularScrolling" "0"
      Option      "CircScrollDelta" "0.05"
      Option      "CircScrollTrigger" "1"
      Option      "CircularPad"    "0"
      Option      "PalmDetect"     "0"
      Option      "PalmMinWidth"   "10"
      Option      "PalmMinZ"       "200"
      Option      "CoastingSpeed"  "1"

I think that not having the”SHMConfig” is a bug in eLive, and possible having incorrect synaptics settings could be a bug in the synaptic driver.

But it could be possible to probe for specific laptop type, and set up decent parameters based on that.

sorry for an annoying bug! And close it if it’s too hardware specific..
