Elive

more and more often when i open small windows such as pidgin or amsn e17 puts them on the border of the screen so that i can see only a tiny piece...
i have then to grab then and move to a better position.
I don’t know if is smth related to wrong settings but for sure i didn’t have this is gnome and it doesn’t look nice..

I tried to install LXDE and to start it tru entrance.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work, every time i try to start LXDE entrance reboots..
thus is impossible to use LXDE.

the e17 transparency should be reenabled as soon as possible, w/o transparency the quality of the desktop drops alot.

package oss-compat solves the issue, recommend to add in the default install

I noticed that net-connector on eeepc doesn’t autoconnect anymore or does it seldom.

After upgrading the system the sleep feature is lost:
closing the lid the computer doesn’t go to sleep
selecting sleep from the menu has no effect.

this package should be installed in the final system

It would be nice to have a multimedia manager on the style of itunes added to elive repositories:
Its a while i’ve been using Songbird and it really works amazingly, much better than rhythmbox
At the moment is available as a tar.gz, but is a precompiled executable, just depack in /usr/local/bin/ and you are good to go, but it would be nice to have it added as a .deb to elive repositories.

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 installed the num lock package for having num lock enabled in x sessions, however every time i reboot there is no num lock in my elive.

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

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.

I found out that if i browse with thunar then i launch mplayer for example to play a movie, it crashes if i close thunar window.
i tried the same with oxine but it doesn’t.

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.

This is the second time i experience the following problem:
if i set powersave governor, and leave the pc on overnight
the next morning the mouse pointer has disappeared
everything works, but i have no mouse pointer.
i have to open a terminal as root and reboot in order to regain control of the system.
This happens only with powersave governor or userspace fixed at the lowest speed (600 over 1300)

increase naked girls please

gdebi doesn’t install anything in 1.7.7 every package ends as a failed install just at the “database reading” 1st step.
Purging gdebi and reinstalling doesn’t fix this.
dpkg works fine

for fglrx is needed to disable atieventsd from loading because it crashes X at logout.

In my installation of elive 1.7.8 nvidia drivers work offering only a 800×600 definition.
Installing nvidia-xconfig packages and running it fixes the resolution but breaks glx
Seems the DCC is not properly working.
Samsung X10 laptop.

tried to start the x11vnc server tru elpanel, is not possible to connect to it from another machine.
If tried to start x11vnc from elpanel called via ssh, then it shows a message telling that the server is closed.
Thus is not possible to VNC into an elive machine.

Probably bug of brasero and not of elive, it doesn’t eject cd after burning and dies with an error.

There are a few problems which prevent 1.8.2 to work flawlessly in eeepc:

Fn-f2 doesn’t work at all, i tested puppylinux and there is working perfectly, they found there is a particular way of modprobbing and rmmodding modules in order for it to work, they have made available a pet package, which is not else than a compressed tar.gz with all the stuff needed, might be nice to give a look to it: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1394464815&t=31947

on the same, the wireless driver is extremely buggy, it shows every wireless hotspot as protected (even if they are open) and with minimal signal, and shows many troubles in connecting...again in puppylinux it worked perfectly, showing correct power, they use a patched madwifi driver, like eeedebian does, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1394464815&t=31947

fn-volume keys have no effect, probably the script is not implemented yet, the scripts for puppy do it fine, you could shortcut by giving a look at their work.

I would suggest to run locale purge after installing on eeepc in order to save space, i recovered 200mb with it.

At the moment is almost not usable because the buggy wireless driver, is too hard to connect to hotspots.

I noticed twice that my eeepc becames unresponsive after a few wifi disconnections, this happens using wicd or exalt.
Wicd stops telling it is trying to clean the routing table, exalt instead doesn’t show any particular message
From then every keyboard event is ignored, all the hotkey combination are not working
Could be a kernel panic since is not possible to do anything else than an hard reboot, the system appears freezed at the maximum CPU speed.

Hello i tested the 1.8.5 installed on my eeepc and found a bunch of bugs:

• exalt doesn’t recognizes interfaces, so is not possible to connect to anything

• during bootup i had a loop where messages ran very fast on the screen, to fix i had to hard reboot, didn’t happen again yet...this was happening also in 1.8.4

• thunar doesn’t mount devices, no usb pen, nor the usb SD card reader of the eeepc, they are not even seen by thunar

• trying to disable then re-enable exalt results in E17 segfault

• the cpufreq module is unable to change the governor

Beside that the system seems stable, however i can’t test it since no connection to internet.

Write here a informational but simple description
