I cannot boot into the system. I am having problems moving forth after entering my passcode. One thing that happens is that it goes into “cryptsetup:sda5_crypt set up successfully”. It then processes and will not further.

Another is that if I hit F6 on initial boot, it will go into the process menu. Messages I saw on the thread were:

“No arrays found in config file or automatically.

Failure:failed to assemble all arrays.

Volume group “elive_vg” not found

The build is on Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae

Problem: BRASERO wil NOT burn dvd
the Burn button, the Number of copies button, and the Properties button are all grayed out and can’t be clicked on.

Detail:
Using Topaz on an Athlon 1700+ with 1GB RAM & Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive:
When I try to burn an .iso on a dvd, a “Blank DVD+R in Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A” shows in Select disc to write to.
Below it it says Size: 4.4 GB free & Status: the medium can be recorded.
Image Path: shows a burnable dvd .iso (I have burned via growisofs as root) and Image type: let brasero choose
BUT: the Burn button, the Number of copies button, and the Properties button are all grayed out and can’t be clicked on.
Thinking it to be a permissions issue, I su to root in a terminal & then ran brasero from the terminal. Still nothing.

I have been forced to install k3b on Elive’s beautifully clean system with the TONS of kde dependancies only to burn dvds. It of course works perfectly - k3b ALWAYS runs perfectly. But it shouldn’t be necessary.

Luckily my donated computers have never had a DVD burner yet. But it will be a show stopper if I get one since brasero will NOT work for me.

Beta 2.6.14

If the prior version installed on the hard drive uses the LABEL= partition naming convention in /etc/fstab, both the / and /home partitions should be changed to UUID= or if one wants to risk it /dev/sdc or sda or whatever # blkid from the live boot calls it.

Since i am not too sure about the handling of multiple users on /home I am now going to clone a home partition to test the install.

Today I downloaded the iso-hybrid of 2.6.0 and installed it sda5 as /.
When I chose sda8 as /home it during the install I carefully said NOT to format it.
However the install did not pick up the /home directory as planned.

First I couldn’t log in via the graphical screen. So I Ctrl-Alt-F1 into
tty1 & logged in then sudo su to edit /etc/fstab.

What had happened was there were no options chosen for sda8. So I
added “defaults” and rebooted.

Then I found that your install had deleted all the other directories on
sda8 leaving only my elive user (larryel)

Please change your install to NOT erase all the other users on the
chosen /home partition. The logic would seem to be that if a user did
NOT want to format the partition s/he would MOST certainly NOT want the
install to erase all the data on the partition either,

I even downloaded and installed the latest Beta 2.9.92 and the same thing? happened to me (Some of these are double clicks all left after the first one):
Right click on desktop→ Click on Settings tab at bottom right→Click on the Look button at top→Click on theme→Click on Basic theme[it has a checkmark next to it]→Click on Elive Light or Lucas since Dark is already chosen→Click Apply button

BOOM the bottom 20% of the dialog screen goes black and the mouse while movable can do nothing.
In less than a minute screen flashes and the “voice” says that “Elive desktop has initiated recovery”

BUT nothing has changed it’s still the Dark theme.

SOLUTION: Before clicking the theme you want to change to: Click on the Basic button in the bottom right→ Choose your theme to change to→Click the apply button.
The screen flashes again but this time the theme you chose is now the theme.

problems getting Intel Wireless pro 5100AGN card working. According to all wiki the iwlagn module and mac8*** module required to run these cards should be built into the kernel but not there and for some reason elive doesn’t allow its installation. The iwlagn module is different from the iwp module.

Hi

Just wondering if there is a way to get elive to access a wireless network using Protected EAP (PEAP) as WPA authentication.

I have installed FreeRadius from synaptic but don’t know how to configure it.

i have installed elive 1.9.51 on a acer aspire one A150L but i can’t write any symbol like @,# and any other symbol that needs ALT GR. the keyboard is italian and it’s well configured.

a strange thing is that i can write them only in the command launcher (alt+esc). in any other applications they don’t work.

This might be considered both a bug and a feature request, depending on your point of wiev.

It is (as of verision 1.9.37, as far as I know also in 1.9.39) impossible to connect to wireless networks protected by WEP encryption using a shared key (as opposed to having an open system).

In the standard connection/network manager application this seems to be due to the fact that there is no oprion to actually set the encryption of a WEP-protected network to “shared” as you don’t get any options besides condifuring the key used (i.e. you can’t select the key index, key number etc).

However, even after switching network management software to something more complete/full-featured (such as Wicd, which I tested) and configuring the connection properly the problem persist, in that it refuses to connect.

when i start in livecd or installed mode i can’t get more than 800×600 in the graphics mode, tried:
graphical-configuration-suite changedriver trident
graphical-configuration-suite resolution 1024×768

but doesn’t work.
my xorg.conf is this: http://debian.pastebin.com/m4ae22372

my laptop is a Gateway solo 9100 with a Trident Microsystems Cyber 9397 who work in Elive 1.0

When installing elive 1.9.39 from the live cd creating a boot partition, the installer stops with an error stating that there is not enough free space on the hd.
i used a 60gb hd entirely dedicated to elive.
40 mb /boot (reiserfs)
3.5 gb / (reiserfs)
56.5 gb /home (xfs)

any thoughts?

Please help.
Thank you.

I have just installed E16 64 bits on my Acer laptop, and when I close the lid, the whole system freezes and I have to do a forced shutdown to start it up again.
It does not go into hibernation, it only freezes. I have trouble starting the pc up after hibernation as well.

Thank you for an otherwise great and very pretty OS.

3g-dialer does not ask for user and password. Also, apn is ignored too. The apn of Ancel Uruguay in the template is wrong (it is wrong in other distros of Linux too), must be “adslmovil” not “gprs”. So, the dialer does not connect to the Internet with 3g modems. Tested witha a Huawei e226.

Hello,

I upgraded my system to 3.0.4 and after that, while I’m working, very often, session end and GUI restart into log screen (usually I logged in automatically, because I’m the only user of my computer).

It’s a critical problem to me because I lost almost all work in LibreOffice even if I try to save my documents very often.

Even while I was writing this bug report my system crashed again. I’ll try to reinstall 3.0.4 or even returns to 3.0.3 version.

Hoping this bug will be solved.

Best regards.

Luis
