Elive

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

Hello,
a problem for elive 1.9.56 and earlier versions up from about 1.9.30: (where older versions did not have this problem, but i don’t know exactly)

description:
the startup elive sound is much too loud (almost breaking the speakers)

on Lenovo R61i (and probably other laptops of this brand)
on DELL Latitude C540 (and also other laptops of this brand)

i found a workaround:
after selection of language you add nosound to the command line options
then the sound will be just audible but not annoy your neighbourhood.

on other computers like Apple MacMini or Samsung the sound level is ok.

on Apple iMac elive does not sound at all.

Hi,
I am using elive_2.1.58_alpha_hybrid from live CD (not installed)

I want to kick the pre-installed chromium browser as it not usable with this lot of annoying ads.
So I remove it using synaptics, but df or free displays even more RAM in use, so I do not know whether it is really gone.

Then I can install iceweasel (or iceape) using synaptics and they are working fine also with noscript.

Would it be possible to pre-install iceweasel or iceape instead of chromium?

Some application which are not installed show anyway in elive menu: blender, cinelerra and a few others.
Clicking on them results in an error.

Elive lacks a GUI for managing users and groups.

It would be nice to add the files for playing m4a sound files:
i was able to play right after adding the two plugin files (.so) to the xmms plugin directory
i would suggest to avoid compilation and take the precompiled plugins

here is the source page http://fondriest.frederic.free.fr/realisations/

installing unofficial packages is a very bad practice, it can broke the system. We need to notice the user with a popup in gdebi about this issue.

I noticed that from time to time resuming the eeepc from sleep results in a frozen screen with entrance showing. Is not possible to type name or password, and the system is responsive only to “poweroff reboot by hardware button”.
This has happened a few times after long standby (over 20 minutes).
I’ve been unable to switch to tty for further investigations..

According to the ppl in #eeepc the cpu of the eeepc4g doesn’t support speedstep and they advised me to disable p4-clockmod since can cause unstability.
I found also on wiki.eeeuser.com that the default clock of the eeepc is 630mhz and is not possible to change it in any way (but there is an experimental linux kernel module to bring up to 900mhz the clock, at a cost of unstability).
this needs investigation, if its true, then it should be advisable to remove the modules from the eeepc special install...
w/o p4-clockmod my system seems very responsive while on battery, and the duration of the battery seems unchanged: 2.50h.
I suggest to make some test with the eeepc, i am doing the same.

very simply:
EEEPC mute hotkey is not configured

Hello
i confirm that 1.9.20-1.9.21 kernel panic during bootup when using the latest nonfree virtualbox (2.1.0).
This happens on an Athlon Xp 2200, on a centrino 1.4Ghz which have different versions of elive installed:
The athlon has 1.9.20 upgraded and the centrino has 1.9.18 dist-upped to current.

new installation of 1.9.21, the machine has a matrox card, seems that it keeps double clicking.

Seems gdebi is still b0rked, i suggest removing it from the final release.

/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf

+BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 3"
+LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15"
+BRIGHTNESS-OUTPUT="/sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness"

this is the most up to date and correct link to be set up in laptop-mode tools.

Im using Elive 1.7.7 and i chose to use synaptic mouse driver, if i plug in an usb mouse it behaves like i am always double-cliccking.
This shows some problems with many program, and menus.
Is not possible to revert to normal functioning unless using the synaptic one which works perfectly.

Thunar doesn’t correctly umount any memory device, especially if has more than one partition.
Moreover it leaves empty directories in /media/ once the device has been unplugged

i noticed that the default way elive boots on eeepc is in spanish language!!! i think this is an error, it should boot in english!!

After upgrading my elive i noticed that XV video was no longer playable in mplayer.
Fiddled around till i found the reason the
Option “VideoOverlay” “on”
which i had in my previous xorg.conf was missing in the new one
I added it under Section “Device” restarted it and the XV is working again
moreover now changing desktop with animation is far faster and more fluid.

here is my current xorg.conf

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).

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

There are a few minor stuff in elive 1.8.4:

• the cpufreq module is not working correctly and gives error

• exalt doesn’t work properly (but is well known)

• trackpad configuration is almost perfect but still some strange behaviour when trying to tap

• on resume from suspend wicd sometimes behaves crappy

• logging should be disabled, all the logging daemons should be disabled in order to extend ssd life

• there are quite a few daemons which could be disabled

• menu ghost applications are still there as well as thunar umount strangerness (well known)

great release, almost 100% works!

Please upgrade to the new enlightenment, this version is completely obsolete.

A tool for changing user and groups preferences is not available in elive even if it shows in the menu.

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.
