Elive

After to upgrade net-connector im unable to use it (daemon not running aparently), the daemon doesn’t want to start (init.d) because there’s teh file /var/run/net-connectord.pid existing, if this doesn’t do any problem, i will recommend to remove it at every “stop” action of the daemon (+ kill/close any possible daemon running), maybe also at every “start” of the daemon ? so i dont think that there will be a problem to restart the daemon (connection doesn’t drops, if im not wrong)

Thanks to the report of DronAn[BY], aparently the connect and disconnect buttons has dissapeared, there’s a few screenshots:

The reason of this is the russian language that screws something somewhere... there’s an error message found in the terminal:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I don’t know the reason of why this affects the button and no other parts of the interface (see screenshot), but for now, since this is a very important bug (some ppl will not connect!), i have just disabled from gettext the message that broke this :) (note: the broking thing is not the button message but other element, please see the commit in this ticket comments)

Could be nice and not very hard to implement an automatic tracer reporter, this means, a kind of pre-launcher for the interface (bash that calls the python code) with waiting error trace messages, if there’s these messages, they will be send to... somewhere, in some way

What you think ?

Sometimes the drivers give us a strange name (actually this practice was drop a lot by drivers developers), but there’s at least 2 that i know that are for a specific purposes, like vboxnet* that is for virtualbox related networks (not useful at all to have it on netconnector), and pan* that means Personal Area Network, so for bluetooth devices, not useful at all in netconnector too, i recommend to just ignore these 2 devices (maybe include a variable where to list all the ignorable devices in the header of the code?) from netconnector since they are not useful/needed, but also making NC buggy (in a sort of way)

This bug is reported by Pacma, but in order to resolv it i recommend a different way to manage the default profile (wired):

Aparently if you have the default and the X profile configuration, if you select the X one and then try to connect, NC automatically changes to the default one making it impossible to autoconnect to the X profile.

I think that instead of the actual method of work, we should only permit one (and only one) autoconnect profile (not needed to be the “default” one), so there’s no possible to have 2 autoconnect profiles coexisting, if the user try this, a question message will appear asking if want to replace the autoconnect “previous” profile and use this one instead.

<PrinceAMD> Thanatermesis, <Elive_user25_en> If one choose swedish as language in textmode boot.
<PrinceAMD> <Elive_user25_en> Everything is translated into...
<PrinceAMD> <Elive_user25_en> finnish.
<PrinceAMD> <Elive_user25_en> that has not one word in common with swedish

Looks like when the partition label has a space, blocks e17

Before to run the mount function, check if gparted/fdisk/cfdisk/* is running in order to avoid problems

If we are already connected to internet is useless to scan about networks, disable the scan until we are disconnected (the non-stop scanning thing makes that some wireless drivers blocks and a reboot is required to recover the connection)

some error messages when you run smb-usershare are shown in the terminal, but not graphically, this can be a problem when the user is running the application from graphical mode only (menu applications launchers).

In my case, just repackaging it for the new version i found these messages:

Lacking to install the “samba” package:

net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No existe el fichero o el directorio

Lacking to add the user to “samba” (sudo adduser me sambashare), i comment the exact parameter because maybe is a good idea to request the root password via “gksu” tool to do it for the user

Chromium complains about outdated flash version, like in www.electroswing-radio.com , there’s some bugs reported in debian (bts show chromium), so we need to wait the release of debian first to see what happens with this

This workaround in needed for these models 3400

root $ echo “options snd_hda_intel model=auto” » /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ; rmmod snd_hda_intel ; modprobe snd_hda_intel

By default if you play a DVD and enable subtitles in VLC, they looks ugly as 2 hells, I think that this can be solved in the settings (advanced/all?), we need to play / beta-test a bit to see a solution for that

If you put the laptop to suspend, when you put it back you cannot browse shared folders, this happens on my acer-aspire-one laptop in live mode at least

Maybe there’s a post-suspend hook/script that needs to be added for reload sambasomething ?

Kill tumblerd always before umounting a partition

Try to reproduce:

- /etc/default/keyboard is set to “es” - configure E to use US instead
- when you restart e17 is set back to ES

Note: use a new elive install, which sets correctly all those things

There’s multiple packages on gimp for edit raw files, we need to know which one to include (betatesting)

I received these messages on IRC thanks to elmo40, but it doesn’t happens to me as you can see on this screenshot:

https://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-549198d97b8fe3.16604264.jpg

Still having the problem ? How I can reproduce it ?

<elmo40> Thanatermesis: did you get the message ?
<elmo40> AlexAnt couldn't read his existing ext4 partition while trying the latest live image.
<elmo40> (2:37:54 PM) AlexAnteMachina: ext4 is an unknown filesystem to elive??? really???
<elmo40> (2:51:41 PM) AlexAnteMachina: thunar rejects to access my hdd
<Thanatermesis> elmo40, thx, ill check that

XDG_DATA_DIRS defines the order to where to search for .desktop files, for example we have apulse-skype package that replaces a .desktop that is defined on a previous dir on this variable, this perfectly works if you run skype from menus (skype that requires pulseaudio using a pulseaudio emulator work in alsa-only), but if you run it from engage or from ibar, it doesn’t works (so looks like it gots the .desktop from the default dir instead of the one that we have defined), it doesnt works also from other places like “startup applications”

The new multiple screens betatesting is ready to be used, this task will be to better track all that is needed to betatest:

How to use it: Everything should be automated, so just upgrade your system with the command “apug” and restart to a new desktop configuration (from elive menus), which is important too. It should detect that you have multiple screens and ask you to configure them, or use an existing configuration, etc in contrary case you still have the configurator available (only one now, which is an elive tool)

Things to betatest: This is the list:

1. all the options and behaviours (what if select no, yes, save, not save, remove, etc), this is more or less already betatested by me
2. try to disconnect the extra screen, reboot computer, your desktop should be equally functional (and I assume not asking/saying anything about)
3. poweroff again the computer, connect again the extra screen, it should remember that configuration for your second screen and going back to these settings (without asking anything, i assume)
4. there’s some games that changes your screen resolution (in order to play in fullscreen), if the game exits with an error your desktop is messed up (desktop running in a strange resolution), the normal behaviour is to return to the correct resolution when the game exits correctly, but i dont know if this happens or even if goes to the correct multiscreen mode. Also: a reboot should perfectly return to the normal behaviour
5. maybe already said before, but switching between “using and not using” the external screen should be not a painful experience (and/or with reboots), it should be “work on the fly”
6. ecomorph (special effects) should work correctly, except for the “exposé effect” which doesn’t seems to like it so much (confused numbers of desktops, etc, not sure if this one works better after the full implementation)
7. detail: technically speaking, there’s two launching of the “load screen settings”, one happens before the desktop is loaded and the other when the desktop has started to load... in other words: if there’s a widget/question that asks for anything it should always happen when you already have access to the window controls (including window borders for example)
8. since i found a strange behavior with the “automated fonts sizing calculation” feature, i include this betatest point: test if the font sizes are not reconfigured “smaller than normal”
9. we have hotkeys to switch between virtual desktops, do we have a setup for between screens? i just tried to configure a new keyboard hotkey (ctrl + alt + shift + arrows) for switch to another screen 0/1 but doesn’t looks like to work on virtualbox... will need to do test in a real machine (and implement the hotkey in the default configuration)

Notes: if any of these betatests are not working as expected, please include the details of the “steps” about how to reproduce it, and the exact (first words) of the “conflicting” message found

• Install the system in Language A
• New desktop configuration, selecting language B
• Re-login in destkop, directory names wants to be renamed (not!!)

This is due to some gnome xdg pre-desktop launcher that knows the language of the system but not the one that we have selected in the desktop

Notes:

• Brainstorming: on which cases we should want to have the directories renamed? only from elive-topaz (statically english) maybe

In my old nettop ‘Acer aspire one’, the inserted SD memory card of my photo camera doesn’t shows in emodule-places unless “only ermovable devices” option is unset

Seems like we need to specify these values in cases that it is one of these cards, but in any case is needed to debug the output to see what it looks like

Hi Luis,

I added this issue in order to know what is the cause that the other options gives you a black screen

To install in failsafe mode could remove some features so if you are able to install it in normal mode it could be better, so let’s investigate the cause

The new disks health feature doens’t reports the correct values:

❯❯❯ cat /etc/elive/disks-health
disks_scanned=""
count_gshock="0"
count_sectors_reallocated="0"
count_sectors_pending="0"
