Elive

Write here a informational but simple description

Hello
noticed some small bugs:

1) the dpms config in laptop mode is uncorrectly linked..so it won’t change the screen brightness when going from battery mode to AC mode..easy to fix

2) thunar works fine, but opens 2 instances when installing an usb device..needs to be addressed...

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?

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