Elive

In Menu>Settings>Settings Panel>System, when “Esu” is called, the window asking for root password lacks in my opinion a “close” or “cancel” button.
This could be handy for someone who selected the wrong setting to open, a user that does not know the root password, or anyone who finally prefers to just cancel the requested action.

Additionally, the text about Esu when it asks for password is presently :
“Welcome to Esu, this program will give you access to other users providing you have there password.” This text could be improved and become :
“Welcome to Esu, this program will give you access to other users provided you have their password.” (italics to show corrections)

Installation of 1.9.41 does not ask locality. No facility to set keymap or timezone at installation or in Elpanel.

Which is annoying

My suggestion: If user has received a notification 3 times, They doN’t get one anymore

yesterday 13march ipaid for the installer module,but when it started to erase my hd it freezes,so i had to restart the procedure,it wanted the installer module,so i paid again. the same incident occured.so now i have 2 problem =(1)=i was unable to find where to email for my money back.or (2) how to get the installer without paying again. please tell me what to do. i was installing topaz.

I have to say that on 1.0 this realtek (RTL-8185) pci wifi board didnt work (the system did not recognized it), but livecd have been loaded ok, the instalation was ok, and the system was full working
On 1.9.50 / 51 the wifiboard works perfectly

Elive cant mannage this video board, msi5200le (nvidia), no way to make it work in higher resolution than 640×480

livecd 1.9.51
The live cd bootups, i choosed nvidia 173...driver (recomended by the system), resolution 1280×1024, but no way, the screen is shown on 640×480, after taht i tried with al the drivers avaliable on the elivecd without luck.

Opcions Panel > screen > screen resolution: shows only avaliable 640×480

The same thing happened with a FX7200

I booted Live Mode on a Lenovo 110s ideapad laptop using a USB created with Etcher. Everything seems to work well with the exception of my wireless network adapter, it’s not recognized: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Plus Bluetooth.

Hope you can make it work.

Hi,
I use elive installed on a Dell D410 laptop with Broadcom BCM4311 wifi card. I can see networks, but I’m unable to connect to anyone because dhclient is unable to obtain an IP address.
I tried other wifi cards (Realtek, D-Link), and it is always same problem. All these cards are supported by Debian Lenny or Ubuntu 8.04.
I really like elive and wouldn’t go back to Lenny because of this wifi problem.

Thanks for help.

Thank you
In devel.version 1.9.58 and 1.9.59 - live mode - several programs cannot be started. Examples are synaptic and gparted

wlan with bcm4312 broadcom chip no more connecting with network connector in RC-versions of Elive.
Details there: http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?4,4613

on the menu when you want to uninstall an app right click with a drop down and uninstall

With the 2.9.18 upgrade the timezone is off with 1 hour.

While booting numlock doesn’t enable this could be handy for passwords

a back button is needed in during the installation progress

When creating a DB in libreOffice base you get loads of errors.

It can be helped by installing

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-sdbc-hsqldb

this maybe included in the next beta

after creating the bootable usb with the elive tool the img isn’t trusted and therefor can’t be installed or upgrade systems

set-up:
Hardware:
azerty Belgian period keyboard

settings:
Language setting: English
keyboard setting: Belgium

On this type of keyboard if you need numbers you have to use shift. This works but when using caps lock it doensn’t tis only effect the numbers and special chars. not for the normal letters there it works fine as it should.

This is tested on 2 laptops and both have the same problem so it isn’t a hardware problem.

Locked “System” → “Lock”

went away for a couple of minutes came back and give in my pwd in de textbox. After pressing enter it tried to unluck but seems the program went in an loop, this for several minutes.

I was able to switch and log in in other TTY’s login no problem rebooted and was then able to login in the gui.

after login and pass entering and trying join in skype, this piece of microsoft just terminate :(

version: 9 b9 elivemac
When the keyboard layout is changed from the elive panel, it is not changed on ttys. The layout is changed in X but the keyboard is always qwerty on ttys.

I have just downloaded and burnt elive, tried to install on PC & get the following on screen:

Hi!

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "./notifier.py", line 6, in <module>

ImportError: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Select_Size

Some solution!

Hi Team,

Thanks a lot for great work of art and development!
There is however a critical bug for Russian l10n: if one chooses Russian from the initial boot menu of Topaz 2.0 stable, the encodings for NTFS become look like this: ru_RU.KOI-8.utf8 and because there is no such encoding set, all those partitions must first after booting in become unmounted (as the distro mounts them automatically which is great, but sadly not in this error case), then the encoding for ALL ntfs partitions in /etc/fstab must be manually changed under root to one of the normal one, like ru_RU.utf8 (I always just deleted that obsolete KOI-8 records), and then become again mounted normally.
This bug also causes an error or a couple of them during the boot-in process, and definitely prevents users from adequate access onto their ntfs partitions, as naturally all Cyrillic chars become unavailable, and mount problems, etc.

Just to mention: when the world does already have UTF, national encodings look as obsolete and as odd as using the sudo scheme while I totally agree with your philosophy of “if you want to become root, simply type “su -”, enter password and become root”.

The bug spoils everything equally out of a live CD or a live USB stick.

Just to notice: KOI-8 as a Russian national localization encoding is almost not used anywhere by now (March 2014). UTF8 has already for pretty long been a recommended and much more effective encoding set to properly map and operate over Cyrillic chars. The great example of simple UTF8 implementation of l10n is in a commercial by now live CD/USB distro of PartedMagic.
Thus a question: is it posssible to get a rebuilt version of the same Topaz 2.0 or much better a newer stable bootable elive system with the described bug fixed?

Thank you!
