Elive

After the verifying speeds steps of the installer, if you have a NTFS partition, the /root files will be vanished (see how your gtk theme of the installer looks ugly now)

Solutions: update aufs version (kernel) or copy the root files back

Note: This DOESN’T affect to the installed system, it is just a bug for the live mode, installed system is perfectly clean and stable... if will be not the case, Elive won’t use this way :))

Recode the IBM video, it has a very noisy sound

a

Assign some default applications for the firefox files (like .deb downloaded files, .edj, etc)

Aparently the configuration for console-setup is not set

Somebody has reported me that recently, no one of its computers will connect to internet automatically (wired), after to talk a bit with him i have discover that he has just set a own profile name to their connections (instead to keep the default name)

Cause: He has changed the default profile to other name

This could be a very common problem, the users don’t know that they needs to use the name default in order to have it to autoconnect or it will not work.

Fix: What I think that could be a good fix is to don’t permit the user to change the name default on the profile, until there’s actually a profile called default existing and that has the autoconnect set to Yes. Any better idea ?

Add a feature in the elpanel configurator of entrance that enable/disable autologin, based on this howto http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?18,1244

It is needed to set some extra configurations for when there’s Intel cards in Elive Compiz:

• change mplayer conf to use X11 (or GL is better option?), and set the zoom ON
• Update: set the X11 or GL as a choice for the user (in case of any elive-compiz, not only intel), explaining how to configure it later and what’s the difference between them
• xine: use xshm or gl output (ask to the user too, or better, include the answer of the previous question for selection there too)
• gstreamer-properties for configure gstreamer to use X11 instead of XV
• xorg: set XAA instead of EXA (see deliver configuration for eeepc)
• export INTEL_BATCH=1 in /etc/profile
• set a different launcher for skype (.desktop) that uses: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=4417cd748721d80e99c902e2857eb6d8&showtopic=328901&st=0&p=1622441&#entry1622441

.xsession-errors file of the home of the users, contains the logs of the X when they are running, this should be removed at every e17 startup

Use only one power management daemon, maybe disable cpufreq of e17 and use only gnome-powermanager IF is a laptop ? maybe ask that ? maybe predefine selection by hardware specs ?

When there’s 2 wireless interfaces listed in NC, when you select one of them, NC comes back to the other one

Note: looks like there’s also a problem related with the scanning, like too much fast scannings etc
Note: somebody has reported me that if you put your password and between you are doing this the list is scanned (updated), your password is removed

When the printer is plugged, run the printer applet and when is unplugged, remove it

Multiple reports:

- If you run the upgrade mode with the beta version, it doesnt seems to boot it (file not found)

- The entry from grub is not removed after the first (any state) reboot

- The installer of 3.0 needs to be adapted

xrandr / e17 screen confs are not restored after to have played a game or launched some applications that changes the screen sizes

Try for example with “smc” (super mario chronicles) package in debian

WARNING: “cd .e ; bkp s”, it will broke your e17 conf

Note: maybe only in xinerama ?

Users are used of the left-click in desktop (or in a Start button), but not the right now which is the one is actually assigned the e17 menu popup

This must be changed, since we don’t use the “favorites” anymore in e17

Thanks Tio for this report

When in wizard module (first e17 start), if you click fastly to next you get wrong configurations, the Next button should be disabled until all the interface has finished to load and calculate what is needed (languages list generated, pages rendered, etc...)

A common case is to start e17 with the “Mobile” interface (even if default is computer)

Users should not remove essential packages, but they do...

We will need some kind of feature that at shutdown (more reliable than boot-time) will check if we have removed any essential-elive package and asks if restore it

In laptop of sapi, there’s an hdmi entry that is not a real card, in order to preselect it correctly we could list the channels and see if has any valid entry, for example this wrong one has:

~ amixer
Simple mixer control ‘IEC958’,0

Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [off]

Thenuxnewbie (princeamd’s friend?) reported a crash on e17 “trying to move gadgets from shelf” he said, attached crasdump file

<Thenuxnewbie> im on wifi and i just noticed something, it would allow me to remove the gadget as long as the wifi signal strength isn’t displayed in what i presume is the system tray
<Thenuxnewbie> but as long as it’s showing signal strength bar, trying to remove the gadged crashes e17

So try to remove the wifi widget with the systray active to reproduce the bug

<Elive_user_en_18> when selecting english Canada changes to French Canada

This report seems to reffer to wizard languages selector I assume

English is english, so french canada is wrong (note that canada has french and english, betatest too if the keyboard is correctly set too)

In my thinkpad laptop, if i run wizard (new .e) i got the audio configurator that asks me twice, see if this happens after to upgrade to 3.0-rc

If you open terminal from thunar, which is assigned to urxvt, the colors theme is not considered, it doesn’t read our .Xdefaults file ?

I’ve noticed something with the tabs and windows in chromium that u might find interesting :)

Chromium ‘bugs’ with handling from one instance tab → window → another instance tab http://mwow.dk/data/action/vid/this-1-1.ogv

This bug happens since some update of chromium in debian wheezy, 35.0.1916.153-1~deb7u1, it works with the previous version 34.0.1847.116-1~deb7u1

You said recently that you have found the cause of the bug where teh windwos are positioned in the first screen (xinerama) when looking at something else about borders?, but i still having the bug around, did you commited the fix ?

If you press the power button (which shows a menu option in E to close computer) and extremely-fastly you press any keyboard key, you got a segfault

This can help making it to appear: cd /tmp ; mprime-cpu -t
Also if you add a “drop caches” on that command should help too, giving you more human-time over computer-time

<PrinceAMD> what i think is happening here is
<PrinceAMD> an object is deleted, then a key pressed on the object causes seff
<PrinceAMD> so i think some check is needed in _e_manager_cb_key_down
<PrinceAMD> i'm guessing this is a keybinding bug, so lets say the binding trigger a call of a deleted pointer,
