Elive

Hi!

In 1.9.57 net-connector is not usable due to a segmentation fault!

Thanks

Hello, Team
I have a Lenovo x201i laptop ( CPU Core i3 + 8GB RAM)
Firstly , i use 32bit latest version OS - very nice
but it can see only 3GB RAM and i decided install 64Bit system
i download latest beta version , write it on USB-stick and tryed
boot… before, i turn off security password to HDD acssess on BIOS
Boot starting and i see a menu ( a few options booting 64 bit system)
but if i tryed anything- after a few second leptop rebooting…

When trying to share folders in the file-manager, it doesn’t allow you to share it as read-write mode, the permissions are correctly set to the folder to be writable by anyone

First the hard facts(version, hw):

EeePC 701 4g
WiFi AP configured to WAP2
Elive version: elive 1.9.61

Now for the problem.

I try to configure my wlan through the configurator but I couldn’t set it up since it constantly rescanned and also refreshed/wiped all the other fields(ESSID, Pass Key, Profile Name) each time I tried to enter them.

I changed the refresh and rescan times in the options but it didn’t respect them. On top of that the constant refreshing seriously loaded the system and caused quite a bit of battery use(not to mention heat).

After a reboot though it is now respecting them and I can actually configure wlan.

I have three operating systems on my machine. The 1st one is Windows Vista, the 2nd one is Windows XP and the 3rd one is eLive. eLive has been installed as the last one and brought GRUB with it. It has created four GRUB entries (1: eLive GEM+, 2: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Memory RAM Diagnostic). Every entry works fine, only when I select Vista then XP comes up and when I select XP then Vista comes up. So either the descriptions or the boot devices are swapped. I am not clear about the devices. Vista has one disk, eLive and XP share the other disk. This is my menu.lst:

title Elive Gem+ 
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.8-elive-686 root=UUID=5f5c337c-c679-413e-b9e7-1cbcdc0107ae vga=791 splash=silent resume=UUID=a756b053-617a-439b-8fb9-50d97962aa84
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26.8-elive-686

# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian

Hi there, I have installed eLive Gem+ compiz on a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics adapter. Both the included mplayer and vlc from the repositories flicker when watching movies. This seems independent from the movie format and the payer.

Hi there,

I have installed yakuake (a Quake-like shell) and when I reboot the system from this console then the graphical environment will not come up anymore afterwards. This is because the root filesystem (jfs) could not be mounted read-write anymore. Mount says the filesystem is rw but touch says the filesystem is read-only. fsck / followed by a reboot fixes the problem.

Hi there,

when I plug in my external DVD writer then the following appears in my syslog (/var/log/messages);

When I insert an Audio CD there is no more message concerning that in the log. Alsothe CD doesn’t appear somewhere like e.g. in Thunar or the filesystem under /mnt or /media. Shouldn’t it?

If i use slovenian language keyboard all the keys dont work. There are only few keys working. Aproximatly 10 keys. If i use english language all keys are working but i dont have then support for special regional letters like (Š???Ž)

I noticed this problem in all elive version (stable and development)

This is a picture how the layout is looking like

Keyboard layout problem.
Found on Elive 1.9.30 When Elive installed on russian (at least & seems the same when change system language from elpanel). The problem appear after loggin in.
It is in xorg.conf

	Option "XkbLayout" "ru,us(winkeys)"

Correct is

	Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(winkeys)"

After loading in live mode or after install with Russian (Ukranian,Bulgarian and so) as language for system. We need to Elive automaticaly change default font to Sans. It is needed for them who using cyrillics. Without this we can see only squares Instead of letters somewhere (in control panel for example).

Font of E17 theme, basically

system: elive 2.0 live-cd (downloaded from elivecd.org)

When selecting a boot loader menu of Ukrainian language all the settings are for the United Kingdom. Apparently you have mistaken, UK as United Kingdom but not as Ukraine. For the Ukrainian language locale must be uk_UA.UTF-8 and not en_GB.UTF-8 as you have in version 2.0.

Check out the same for Russian language, everything is OK.

My screen resolution is 1440×900, but in xorg.conf I have ‘Virtual 1500 900’. (Some vncviewers issue warnings when width is not visible by 4 iirc)

The default theme without ecomorph puts up a white vertical strip on the right side, like a margin, but my windows can overlap there, in that area. The pager, on the top righthand corner, still ends at 1440, like it cannot go any further. The artwork/default background, also stops at 1440. I *do* know that Esetroot can stretch to the very edge at 1500 because my transparent terms still show the artwork underneath.
If I use ecomorph, the white strip will be there, quite possibly on all 4 sides of the cube. I have an nvidia GeForce 6200 and the startup process in livemode autoselects the newest drivers for me. It is not a showstopper, as I could alwasy stay at width 1440, but I am surprised that stock e17 does not recognize the extra space.

I have elive installed but it is flawed. I cannot use any of the current tools to connect using my DELL 6440 laptop’s wifi card.

I notice that Bodhi can use the same hardware and connect to wifi with no problem.

They implement GNOME keyring-GNOME network manager GNOME-pcs11 econnman bundle that makes this wireless solution work out-of-the-box. I would like to install them on my elive but using synaptic a lot of the installed software would have to be removed first.

I would make a donation to promote Elive 3 but I have been using a wired connection with elive because internet manager complains about something missing and it is less than ideal to use if I have to use a wired ethernet cable all the time, with my laptop.

The installer failed to detect (and install on) /dev/sdc2. It is a 16G USB thumb drive total, with two partitions. I wanted to install elive on the second partition, but this error came up:

We found something that we want to be informed about its details, it may be a problem in Elive or a simple state that we want to know, since it happened to you it can happen to anybody and we want to make Elive as much stable as possible, please take 1 minute to report this message to our developers:

Thank you

Would it be possible to feature ‘Silk’ as an installable theme? There has been an update called ‘Silk and lots of colors’ but that can be added later– the original silk would be enough to attract more users and or testers. That way, Elive will not be ‘just another distro with enlightenment’, but it will be known as the ‘greatest looking distro with enlightenment, with all the bells* and whistles**!! (i am referring to ecomorph, of course).

This way we can encourage people to donate, because it is one-of-a-kind :)

(The boot-up process of ‘Silk’ has the prettier plymouth screen, IMNSHO. i would switch boot messages off, the office could be on fire, and fire trucks and ambulances all around, people would be yelling, HEY there’s a man in here staring at his computer!!)

I tried the live version. There is a link to ‘set up the repositories’ and I noticed it was failing to find a few websites. The process takes a while to complete, and that is why I bothered to look at what the delay was all about. I will attempt it again to see if a 24-hour interval will make a difference.

My laptop works regularly, however I receive a notification about excessive shaking while in use.

The message is correct but the title spells SHACKING so it does not make sense why one is correctly spelled but the other is not; there will be confusion, no doubt.

I put this on low priority because it is minor and does not prevent continuing one’s work. The notification disappears or fades based on the default duration.

During booting the system hangs and I have to unmount the battery to turn the thinkpad off. It works perfectly on my pc.
the last messages during booting:
Ramdisk: compressed image found at block 0

-
invalid compressed format (err=1)
no filesystem could mount root, tried: cramfs
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (1,0)

Live CD doesn’t stops loading due to kernel panic: Thinkpad 600E with toshiba cdrom (24x) drive

message on screen:

(on my desktop PC live mode works fine) Revolution 2 works fine on my thinkpad (has there been a change in method of compression??)

The dutch translation in the installer doesn’t work. The header in the title are fine, but the text is still in English

elive uses oldatapi driver. brasero and k3b and xcdroast all recognize the drive but don’t burn CD’s.

XCdroast advizes to use scsi emulation, but that doesn’t seem to work also.

error on an insert of a CD rewritable on the second (slave) CD-driver

the error message display “échec au montage de disque CD-RW” (the title was translated and means the mount failed ;
the next part of the message wasn’t translated):
Method “mount” with signature “ssas” on interface “org.freedesktop.hal.device.volume” doesn’t exist
– End of the error message

The CD wasn’t mounted.
Next try with the same CD on the first (master) CD-Driver : works fine.
