Elive

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

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?

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.

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.

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

Elive lacks a GUI for managing users and groups.

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

iceweasel shows some websites in memory when trying to write a website, it shouldnt have any sign of previous use. it would be also nice to have the fullscreen plugin available, on eeepc it works really nicely!

It would be also nice to have a small gui for ndiswrapper, an ncurses one would be nice, so that user can find the inf file and install comfortably from a gui.

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/

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

We have the need for a working net-connector as soon as possible in order to iron out all the bugs
I would suggest that LinuxNit does the packaging himself in order to provide always up to date packages, this package should be labeled net-connector-dev in order to prevent normal users to install if not willing.

please add this module to elive, it works perfectly in ubuntu: only the 0.8.4 compiles correctly!

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

put a script for the after-suspend step that just call the daemon with a option to “refresh” or something like this

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.

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.

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

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 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)
