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?

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

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.

i tried to upgrade my 1.9.16 install on the eeepc, with unetbootin and an sd card i tried as usual to install elive. this time the installer doesnt detect my installed system and doesnt offer to upgrade it.
thus proceeding as a fresh install.
installation was aborted by me to prevent overwriting my hdd.

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

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.

http://getsongbird.com/

Elive lacks a GUI for managing users and groups.

AMSN doesn’t detect the eeepc camera even if it is working correctly.

amsn in svn now supports audio conferencing as well as audio video calls.
also is very stable.
tested in ubuntulu

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

merge the eeepc configuration for eeepc with the original e17 configuration, there’s wrong things like setvolume hotkeys

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

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.

The new kernel has fixed the broken headers issue according to debian buglist and to #debian.
I would suggest to switch asap to .26 and start providing headers as well

I think the default governor should be ondemand instead of performance. in this way the user won’t be scared of the full power fan always running

I noticed that dhcp doesnt lease an ip when trying to connect to a wep AP either via exalt or via net-configurator. It is possible to connect via static ip.

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..

/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.

Hotkeys doesn’t correctly disable and enable the wifi adaptor.

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.

if i try to shutdown and after issuing the shutdown close the lid,
the eeepc goes into sleep instead.
It should be made to disable the sleep when the shutdown has been issued.
